2. Mayor Akin and Chairman DeBates opened the joint meeting between the City Council
and the H.R.A. which was held for the purpose of discussing the terms and conditions
of sale for the Senior Center Building.
3. Administrator Thompson and Senior Center Coordinator Denison presented a proposal
which recommended a pledge drive be held which would raise funds to be donated to the
City for the purchase of the Senior Center. Mr. Thompson stated that the Senior Center
Advisory Council had agreed to sponsor the pledge drive. Mr. Thompson stated that if
this arrangement were acceptable, the two parties should come to an agreement as to
the amount of money the H.R.A. would be paid by the City for the purchase of the building.
4. After a lengthy discussion it was agreed by the H.R.A. and the City Council that the
H.R.A. would not be seeking the full amount of money that it had invested in the buil-
ding. It was the consensus of the H.R.A. that it should request at least $70,000, with
the understanding that if the pledge drive did not reach that figure the price could
be renegotiated. Councilmember Orr stated that $55,000 would be more acceptable to the
people donating funds to the pledge drive.

offer a counter of $55,000. APIF, motion carried.

project were to be successful the two parties would have to come to an agreement on
the purchase price. Motion by Whittier, second by Kuchera to resubmit the $70,000 offer
for sale. APIF, motion carried.
