Moved by Jordan, seconded by Murphy that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Seven. Motion carried.
City Planner Don Temeyer reviewed new areas proposed to be added to the Consolidated Urban
Revitalization Area (CURA). The Good Shepherd Neighborhood will be included which is
bounded on the north by Airline Highway, on the east by Idaho Street, on the west by Highway
63 and on the south by E. Donald Street. Mr. Temeyer suggested that the area on Newell Street,
east of Idaho, along Osage Road and Westfield Avenue be included in the CURA. Councilperson
Jordan requested that Mama Nick's property be included. Mr. Temeyer also suggested a portion
of Ansborough Avenue. Mr. Temeyer will add the above areas to the Consolidate Urban
Revitalization Plan.
Councilmembers reviewed the sale of the Klinefelter building on tonight's council agenda. Dave
VanDee, Assistant City Planner, stated that the city has not received the $100,000 cash bond from
Ray Willey. Mayor Rooff stated that the council will have to make a decision at tonight's council
meeting of not accepting the offer from Community National Bank or to table to another meeting.
Councilperson Getty stated that he would have loved to seen Willey Brothers follow through with
their project. Councilperson Getty stated that he has no faith in Willey Brothers and that he feels
the council should proceed with the sale and conveyance of the Klinefelter building to Community
National Bank.
Bill Colwell stated that he has an offer he would like to make to the council on purchasing the
Klinefelter building. Mr. Colwell asked if Wiley Brothers do not submit the bond will the
property be sold to Community National Bank.
Mayor Rooff requested that Mr. Colwell present his offer to the council at tonight's meeting.
Councilperson Getty stated that three weeks ago the council's decision was that if Willey
Brothers did not present their $100,000 cash bond by today, it was only fair that the city honor
Community National Bank's offer. At that meeting, the council said they would accept no other
offer if Willey Brothers did not produce the bond.
Councilperson Anders stated that three weeks ago the council gave Willey Brothers to today to
produce the $100,000 cash bond. If the bond is not produced by the Willey Brothers it is morally
right that the city sell to Community National Bank.
Councilperson Krizek stated that there is other parking around the bank and asked if Mr. Colwell
and Mr. Vich could get together to come up with a solution.
Councilperson Jordan stated that the price is already on the table, and he would like to move
forward and make a decision.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Collier that the
meeting be adjourned at 6:12 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
