Johnson, Dr. George Gilmore addressed the City Council to offer a proposal to the City Council for the Old City Jail, located at 24 North Section Street. Mr. Gilmore stated that the Single Tax Corporation has received two bona fide offers of over a half million dollars each for the old jail site. FSTC know that the City is unable to enter into such transactions. Therefore, FSTC asked the City to return the old jail site to the FSTC in order to make the lease available for purchase.

An environmental study still has to be done to address all environmental issues. Councilmember Ford expressed concerns of the amount of the net profit. There may be environmental issues that will cut the net profit, such as buried fuel tanks, bringing the building up to code and salvaging what can be preserved. Councilmember Ford also inquired if there was a time limit on these offers. Dr. Gilmore stated that there was no time limit on these offers. Charles W. Ham, FSTC Secretary, addressed the City Council and expressed that the FSTC would pick up the bill of the environmental concerns.
