to date. He stated that, however,': thereis a problem in connection with a
building of six apartment units at 2440 High Street which was acquired for around
$66, 00. 00, there being no city -owned., site to which the building can be re-
located and no property available; in an area having the proper zoning forthe
apartment building; that bids were called for the sale ofthe building to be
removed -from the site and only one, bid was received in the amount of. $1, 555.00
from Anderson Bros. The City Manager, advised that the bidder, if his bid is
accepted, plans to relocate; the building outside the city, and as he is holding an
option on a piece of, property for this.'. purpose, the bid must be either accepted
or rejectedat this time.
During the discussion it was brought out that the present investment
in thisparticular property is about $66,000.00; that the City had recovered
about $1000.00 in rentals and had` removed the stoves and refrigerators from
the 'building; that the land might be -valued at arouxnd, $15,000.00, so there will
be ;a" lose of about :$50,000 if -the building issold for the amount of the bid
$1,855:00. It was, pointed out that if the City had a site on_which to relocate
the building, about $20',.000.-00:of the loss would be recovered as it would
probably -cost around. $30,000.00 to move and reconstruct the building.
A motion wa3:made ;by Cresap that the bid of Anderson. Bros, of
$1, 555:00 for>the pnr.:chase`of the -building at 2440. High Street, to be removed
from the 'site, be accepted He noted that the Council rnade the decision
some time :ago: that itwould not rezone .property for the City's benefit: The
