• 6 1 of making necessary ,repairs for the City to acquire the above facility 2 from the school district. He said he hoped to have estimates of the 3 remaining costs for the Council' s August 25th meeting. 4 A summary of the appraisal of the building as received by the school 5 district was attached to his memo in the agenda packet. The appraiser 6 estimated the value of the property to be $310,000, which included 'a 7 land value of $240,000 . Mr. Childs reminded the Councilmembers that the 8 City had given the land to the school district in 1951 for the purpose 9 of "using it for a school" with a reservation that it should revert to 10 the City "whenever it stopped being a school" . However, he added, the 11 t30 year limit on that reservation may have expired, making this a point 12 which would probably have to be negotiated. 13 The Manager reported the School District figured it would cost them 14 $270 , 000 to move up to the Middle School building and have indicated 15 they don' t have those dollars available right now. He said it is 16 therefore important for the City to encapsulate in general terms just 17 what it would cost the City to move its facilities into Parkview so a 18 value judgement could be made whether the move is worth the effort. 19 Representatives of the City and School District would then have to meet 20 to present their different positions. Mr. Childs perceived it might be 21 just prior to those negotiations that a joint meeting between the entire •22 Council and School Board might be helpful. 23 City Officials Invited to Attend Army' s Community Meetings on TCAAP 24 Environmental Remedial Action Program 25 Mr. Childs advised that the August 6th invitation sent to him by the 26 Twin City Army Ammunition Plant representative had been intended for all 27 City officials. The first of the meetings was scheduled for the 28 morning of August 18th and Councilmember Ranallo commented that the Army 29 had apparently not taken into consideration the fact that most of the 30 municipality officials had regular jobs which made meetings during the 31 day very difficult to attend. 32 AGENDA ADDENDUM 33 PROSPECTIVE BUYERS OF HOBO RESTAURANT SEEK DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL 34 Michael Melville, 328 Washington Street, Anoka, said he and Ron Walberg, 35 Minneapolis, were thinking of purchasing the restaurant and needed some 36 guidance as to what procedures they would have to follow to make the 37 improvements they wanted to the building and parking lot. Mr. Childs 38 suggested the two contact him at the office the following day when he 39 would be happy to look over their plans to see whether or not a 40 variance might be necessary. They were also advised that if variances 41 were required for the project, it wouldn' t be until September 15th that 42 the required public hearing on the variances could be conducted by the • 43 Planning Commission, with a Council decision no sooner than September 44 22nd. Mr. Melville was also advised of the time it would take to get 45 the notice of the hearing on a variance request published.
