t between the City and
at the north end
the vicinity of
a. Manager Evans stated that Council has received copies of TKDA's report on the
Ryan Building which indicated the improbability of using that as a unified City Hall.
If Council still wants to proceed on having our facilities together, there is the
possibility of arranging an installment purchase or a contract for deed purchase of
a new building on our property.
I have had very preliminary discussions with two firms (TKDA and Ellerbe) about the
possibility of their erecting a structure to our specifications on the Public Works
site - perhaps down nearer the pond. We would also review expansion of the present
building, but that has several problems. We would then pay for it by some combination
of down payment and subsequent yearly payments.
The law on such financing requires some additional checking, and we might be limited
to a five year period. However, if you would like to consider the above, I would
probably make arrangements to have representatives of TKDA, Ellerbe or both give
presentations.
b. Council requested the Manager to investigate further and obtain figures as
to justify a new building.
