Sale of City Property on Highway #169 Mayor Hinkle requested that the Councilmembers express their ideas regarding the sale of the property on Highway #169. The City Administrator indicated that Councilman Duitsman had indicated that he did not have a problem selling the five acres on Highway #169 if the City had other property to build a main- tenance garage, and further indicated that this could be made poss.ible either through a trade of land or purchase. Councilman Toth indicated that he did not object to the type of arrangements for the sale of the property, but felt that the City should have other prop~ erty. available for a maintenance garage before selling the five acres on High- way #169. Councilman Toth further indicated that the City should not consider the sale of the property on Highway #169 until consideration is given to the purchase price of other property available and desireable for a maintenance garage. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he felt the City did not need prime highway land for a maintenance garage and further indicated that he felt the City could con- sider other locations as possibilities for a garage site. Mayor Hinkle indi- cated that the Associated Investors could possible provide property for a maintenance garage in the Industrial Park, and further indicated that the lo- cation in the Industrial Park would be more centrally located with regard to population. Mayor Hinkle further indicated that he felt the City should be assured of property elsewhere in the City prior to selling the five acres on Highway #169. Councilman Engstrom indicated that he felt the City does not need prime highway property for its use. Councilman Engstrom questioned the possibility of selling the five acres on Highway #169 to the Assembly of God Church, or the necessity of putting the property out for bids, with the stip- ulation that there not be a zone change. Councilman Engstrom also suggested that the City obtain an appraisal of the property. Councilman Schuldt indicated that if arrangements for the purchase of other property in the City for a main- tenance garage was available, he would then be in favor of the consideration of selling the Highway #169 property.
