5. NNW BUSINESS (Cont'd Mr. Gr nt Lewis inquired about the alley in rear of Chicagc Street that cannot be used because it has been t rn up and has been in that condition for about two mo the and when it would be paved. Mr. Bellinger apprised the Commission that virtually all the alleys are passable and that our engineers, Chas. W. Cole & Son, i dicated that the contractor should begin paving operations in the next two weeks. b. 2622 West Napier Street: This building had originally been selected for a site office, and when no lon er required for this prupose, would be sold as a four bedroom home. The original bids received for the rehabilitation of this structure ranged from $14,00 to $16,700, which was economically prohibitive. The proposed work was re- advertised, in hopes of reducing the cost, and included an alternate - -one for only struc- tural reconditioning of the existing porches and the other for the complete new porch enclosures. No bids were received for the second advertising. It was sug- gested to the Commissioners that this structure be demolished and an alternative building selected. The only other building available would not lend itself to a long range usefulness and would cost in the neighbor- hood of $800 to $1,000 to rehabilitate for office usage. This move would be less costly than renting a facility. Authorization was requested from the Commission to ex- pend fund needed for limited refurbishing of the pro- perty located at 2637 Newcome Street for the required site office. Authority was also requested for the acquisition and demolition of the building on 2622 W. Napier Street. The Chair entertained a motion to that effect and motion was so made by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Mr. Wilhelm. c. Sale of Land: Approval was requested to advertise and accept bids for the sale of land, ap- proximately 12.7 acres to be sold for light industrial or commercial use, in the Industrial Expansion Project, R -56.

On motion by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Mr. Helmen, authorization was granted to advertise and accept bids as indicated above.
