Council Member Voorde indicated that <br />this resolution focuses on the intended giveaway of City -owned property to REAL services. <br />He indicated this property was purchased by the City nearly a decade ago for an undervalued <br />price of $132,000. He indicated that the subsequent one dollar a year lease to REAL <br />Services, Inc. has evidenced a continuing commitment to the welfare of our senior <br />citizens. He indicated this commitment does not need to be reaffirmed does not need <br />to be reaffirmed by giving away the property to REAL Services. He indicated this <br />resolution suggests a continuation of the lease for a dollar a year for as long as <br />REAL Services is the designated agency providing for the needs of the elderly, or the <br />property suits the needs of the agency. He indicated this resolution does not question <br />the work REAL Services has done for this community. He indicated there was no financial <br />advantage to the City in giving away this building. Since REAL Services is responsible <br />for operation, maintenance and insurance on the building. He indicated that the <br />Board of Works can proceed with this sale without the approval of the Council. He <br />indicated that the City should conduct an inventory of all property and work with the <br />Council to develop some long - termed policies regarding its use. Council Member Puzzello <br />asked if there was a reversionary clause. Carolyn Pfotenhauer, City Attorney's office, <br />indicated the deed would contain a reversionary clause. Council Member Braboy indicated <br />that clause would not affect the selling of the building. Council Member Voorde <br />indicated that it seems the Council was having problems accepting the fact that REAL <br />Services may be able to sell the building after the City has given it to them. He <br />indicated that the purpose of this resolution was to maintain control of the building. <br />Council Member Braboy asked how much money REAL Services has put into the building. <br />Mayor Parent indicated he did not know how much money they have put into the building, <br />but it was substantial. He indicated the City bought the building with Federal funds <br />for the benefit of the older adults in the Community. He indicated it was not for <br />the City to acquire a building for investment, it was for the older adults. He indicated <br />that in the future, the City could need money and sell the building taking it away <br />from the older adults. He indicated the City made a commitment that the building was <br />for older adults in the community. Council Member Taylor made a motion to defeat <br />
