Russ went over with the Board the land problems we
have been facing and the tie up with closing. That
Spitzer, Jr. was eligible for re-local4on monies,
but the money would not be awarded V is known
how much expense is incurred. C.W. has said he ex-
plained this to Mr. Spitzer. Jim Reid came in about
this time and explained that he hoped to have every-
thing finalized by Saturday, that Mrs Spitzer has
taken another job out of town and is only home on
weekends. That he needed to have them all present
at one time to sign as all the lands are tied to-
gether. M.L. interjected that we are already over
the time limit on keeping the funds for the program.
That you are not suppose to have over $10,000 on
hand and you are suppose to report on funds. He
talked to Bill House and he is suppose to be getting
some forms in the mail. If we can close by Saturday
as proposed we will be alright. M.L. also presented
his tally of the bids on the project and reported we
had a June 15 date of awarding the bids. The Board
decided to have a special meeting May 27, 1985 at 4:00
p.m. to determine if fee simple land closed, and if
to recommend to Council awarding of bids. The question
of the 10% came up when we make draw downs and it was
approved on motion by Jim Gaston, seconded by Mason McGowin
authorizing Buzz, Evelyn, Jim to request 10% each time
draw is made.
Russ brought to the Board's attention the contract
with Noel Stowe. Russ read M.L.'s letter which asked
for payment of $600.00 and additional $200.00 when
he is able to complete project. After discussion
Buzz Colling put in the form of a motion adding an
-kendum to the contract and so informing M.L. by letter
to pay additional $200.00 , Mason McGowin seconded and motion
carried unanimously.
M.L. advised the board that we had a problem in that the
blast pads might not be covered by project. After discussion
Board decided that due to future traffic these seemed
essential to have and when we write requesting amendment
to project that we include request for blast pads.
Mason mentioned that he wanted the Board to know that he
did not wish to make his land donation until the fee
simple land was transferred, Board responded they understood
this was fine.
M.L. also asked that he be able to hire survey crew
to come on land at a cost of $550.00 , r explanation
of re -negotiation part of contract and discussion Board
said this was o.k.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
