It was moved:by Mr. Collins, seconded by Mr. Beatty,, that this
telegram be made part of the minutes and unanimously voted.
Mr. Webb explained to the. Council that Mr. Graham's Company was
offering to sell the Village a parcel of land 100' X 150', being,100' on
96th Street and 150' deep at Bat Bay Drive, for $35,000.00.
Mr. Beatty asked if Mr. Webb was sure that this was enough land.
Mr. Webb said that this land would be sufficient if the Village
went to a two story building and pointed out that later it might be possible
that the parking area in the business section could be used for additional
parking. He further stated that he would consider this figure the bet one'
that could be gotten. He said that the land could be purchased for $10,000
down and the balance paid at $5,000 per year with interest at 4 and the
temporary buildings could remain on the site for two years.. Mr.,Graham's
offer stipulates that a closing must be completed prior to January 1, 1954.
It was moved by Mr. Collins that the Village accept the offer to
purchase the site for $35,000.00.
After discussion Mr. Collins asked that his motion be withdrawn.
Mr. Beatty suggested that the matter be tabled until the meeting
to be held December 21, 1953. -
The plan for additional parking for the bank on public domain
was shown the Council and as there was no need for immediate action the plan
was tabled pending further deliberation and discussion.
