8 <br /> 1 satisfy their interests. Having gone from zero to the new high <br /> 2 figures, Mr. Childs said he didn' t know where the City would end up, but <br /> 3 the full bodies of both the City Council and School Board would meet in <br /> 4 a joint session to try' to talk about their respective positions sometime <br /> 5 during the week after Labor Day. It would be after that meeting that <br /> 6 the City would make a decision about whether to spend lots of money to <br /> 7 take over Parkview or to move elsewhere, in which case, it would be up <br /> 8 to the School District to figure out what to do with the building. <br /> 9 Commissioner Hansen reported he had attended all the School Board <br /> 10 meetings where the issue had been discussed and decided that, if it came <br /> 11 down to making a cul du sac and building from 9 to 11 homes on the <br /> 12 property, it would become an issue in which not only the Council but the <br /> 13 Planning Commission would be involved. He, therefore, said he believed <br /> 14 it was imperative that the Commission be kept informed. <br /> 15 Mr. Childs said he didn' t think the School Board members who might be <br /> 16 seriously thinking of taking on a big development project like that had <br /> 17 really understood the costs they would incur doing that. The Manager <br /> 18 added that it might be hard to sell the taxpayers on tearing down a <br /> 19 building which, although it might need some repairs, certainly wasn' t <br /> 20 dilapidated or falling down at this stage. <br /> 401 Commissioner Hansen pointed out that the School Board seemed to be <br /> 2 working with figures which indicated it would cost $100,000 to repair <br /> 23 the roof where the City had an estimate indicating it would only cost <br /> 24 between $60 ,000-$62,000 . He said he assumed from this, that the City <br /> 25 had a lot better grasp on what it would cost to convert, rather than to <br /> 26 redevelop the property. <br /> 27 Mr. Childs said he wanted to be certain his figures were accurate <br /> 28 because "that' s the kind of thing people never forget. " Commissioner <br /> 29 Hansen agreed, saying the City kept better minutes of its meetings so <br /> 30 extravagant claims like the roof repair figure could never be made. <br /> 31 The Commissioner said he sensed that when the School District realized <br /> 32 the change could never be made this fall, the whole process had slowed <br /> 33 down. Mr. Childs said that would give both parties the opportunity to <br /> 34 get their cost estimates together and would give people a better chance <br /> 35 to talk about the issues which are involved. <br /> 36 In reference to the empty lots on what was the school property across <br /> 37 the street, the Manager told Chair Franzese construction of a home on <br /> 38 one of the lots was going to start next week and he didn' t know why the <br /> 39 other property owners were so slow in building. <br /> 40 Staff Is Working on Ways of Cutting Down on Flooding Damage <br /> 41 When Commissioner Wingard suggested it might have been when water was up <br /> &2 to the doorsteps of one of the newly built houses in the Hertog <br /> 43 Development that the owner decided to put it up for sale.
