Other Business
1. Discussion and action regarding purchase of the Village Inn
Dr. Robert Wood presented an offer to the City through the City Attorney to purchase
the Village Inn in the amount of $450,000.
Council member Turner stated he understood Dr. Wood has the property for sale, but
asked if the City has any plans for the property. He's concerned about the residents
being without homes. He stressed that it is important to contact non-profits agencies
to help place the tenants in homes.
Council member Shanks stated that the City Council will address the City's homeless
issue at its next retreat and agreed that non-profit agencies should be involved to
assist with the relocation of the Village Inn residents. Council member Shanks also
related that the purchase will require three readings to amend the budget, which should
give the public time to express their feelings about the purchase.
A motion was made by Council Member Art Gernt, seconded by Council
Member Scot Shanks, to accept offer from Dr. Robert Wood for the purchase of
the Village Inn property in the amount of $450,000 and to pay $20,000 earnest
money, no other contingencies, and closing to be 60 days from the 3rd reading
of budget amendment. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 4- Council Member Scot Shanks, Council Member Art Gernt, Mayor R.J.
