Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Mayor Haik to approve the resolution which authorizes the transfer of funds from the General Fund Reserve to the Utilities Account to permit the payment of part of the 1978 utilities for Park View from District #282 . RESOLUTION 79-036 BUDGET TRANSFER FROM GENERAL FUND RESERVE TO UTILITIES ACCOUNT. Motion carried unanimously. • Prior to the meeting, Councilman Sauer had given his reaction to the minutes for the public hearing on the liquor store alternatives and had indicated he would be interested in a staff report on the approxi- mate cost of building a new liquor store, but would be opposed to having a professional study especially of marketing surveys made. Mr. Fornell said he estimated it would cost about $40 a square foot, excluding land costs , to construct an 8 ,000 square foot on and off sale facility or between $400 ,000 and $500, 000 . He figured an off sale store should be about 5, 000 square feet which , when all variables had been considered, would also run approximately $40 a square foot, plus land costs . Councilman Sundland said he had also been interested in the report for the hearing which he and Councilman Sauer had not been able -to attend as well as the report on the meeting of the Apache ownership with the merchants and City officials , especially the possibility of the owners ' willingness to do some remodeling to further the viabil- ity of Apache. He speculated it might be possible to negotiate for a spot in the Apache complex for an expanded off sale liquor store. Mayor Haik then commented on the probable connection of the expansion of the Stonehouse facility with the relocation of City Hall as had been suggested during the hearing, but Councilman Sundland cautioned the existing parking problems near the Stonehouse will have to be solved before that option can be considered. All agreed splitting the liquor operation in the Kenzie Terrace area would probably not be profitable .
