. . . Elk River City Council Minutes February 22, 1993 Page 3 felt it may be a conflict of interest for them to apply for a grant to purchase its own land. Mayor Duitsman stated that he was opposed to this grant to rehabilitate the old courthouse. He further indicated that if the grant would include the purchase of the County Administration building, he may reconsider his opposition. Councilmember Holmgren stated that this issue was a conflict of interest for himself as he was a County employee and, therefore, he would offer no discussion on the matter. Councilmember Scheel stated that she would like to see the old courthouse preserved, but does not want the City involved monetarily. Councilmember Farber indicated he would consider looking into this request. After discussion by the Council, it was the consensus that the Council would first like to receive a formal request from the County regarding this issue. MAYOR DUITSMAN MOVED TO REQUEST THAT THIS ITEM BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AT THE MARCH 8, 1993, MEETING, WITH A FORMAL REQUEST FROM THE COUNTY FOR THE CITY TO CONSIDER SPONSORING THE GRANT.
