Redevelopment Commission Meeting <br />Friday, February 17, 1978 <br />DISCUSSIONS: <br />Motion was made by Mr. Robinson to approve said lease of Plaza Park <br />to the Park Department and authorize the President and Secretary of the <br />Commission to sign the lease; to run for a period of three years, subject <br />to cancellation, if funds are made available for them to purchase the <br />land; seconded by Mr. Wiggins and passed by unanimous vote. <br />Mr. Dave Anderson: What was the price tag? A dollar a year? <br />Mr. Butler: Yes; but there is a penalty provision included. If they <br />hold over, it is five times the daily rate ... beyond the three year term. <br />Mr. Nimtz: This is just legal conversation to remove the liability <br />fr m us to the Park Department, who really has the facility and the staff <br />to do things. <br />Mr.1 Dave Anderson: What was the price tag on the vandalism on the lights? <br />Mr. Brownell: We have estimated the damage to the lights at approximately <br />$4,000. The damage to the bridge has been paid for already amounting in <br />about $2,500. Actually, the Park Board has been operating the park, <br />maintaining the upkeep, watering the lawns etc, but this would make it <br />official. <br />Mr. Nimtz: To summarize this, the City was going to buy the land from <br />us, but didn't have the money to do so, and secondly, they can't use <br />community development funds to buy it from us. <br />Mr. <br />Mr. <br />Lindstaedt: What is the purchase price? <br />Brownell: $160,000. <br />Mr. Nimtz: We have our legal staff present this morning, and as I am sure <br />you are aware, from reading the paper or watching the television, Judge <br />Miller did not grant the motion to correct errors, which is the old fashioned <br />way of saying a "motion for a new trial. Mr. Chapleau asked for an appeal <br />bond in the amount of five million dollars, and there immediately ensued <br />some discussion as to whether a bond was required or not, and if so, how <br />much. A hearing is set for Monday morning, February 20, 1978, at 9:00 A.M., <br />by Judge Miller as to whether a bond will be required, and if so, how much <br />the bond will be. Mr. Chapleau will you comment? <br />
