The committee took a tour of the bank building last week. The
Committee is requesting funds not to exceed $1, 000 for an independent
appraisal from a local firm. Ralph Dowell, Acting City Manager,
told the committee that $364 ,000 was available for the police build-
ing. This is not counting the contingency fund or equipment replace-
ment fund.
Councilman Molina said he felt that $1, 000 should not be authorized
at this time because the bank is asking a certain amount of money
and unless we get it for a reasonable amount that maybe we should
go to alternative Two, and to discuss it further in closed session
as to what the high and low amount will be. Councilman Handshy
agreed that until we find out what the actual selling price is,
there is no need to appraise the property.
MOTION: By Councilman Molina, seconded by Councilwoman Mackey to not approve
the $1, 000 for an appraisal at this time, but for the committee to
continue to work with the situation and the Bank of America and
