Mr. Rosborough reported for the committee on the acquiring
of 64 Saltair lots to be used as a park area. With the
exception of 7 lots on Seminole Road across from the tennis
courts, these lots are part of the interior lots lying between
Sherry Drive and Seminole Road and north of the school area.
Mr. C. T. Boyd, Trustee, has agreed to sell their 36 lots for the
appraised total value of $7, 250.00 and then will take the amount
in tax credit. Mr. Rosborough recommended and moved that the
matter be referred back to committee to confer with Mr. Boyd
as to the details of tax credit and advise him it is our intent
to purchase as per agreement, seconded by Mr. Minton. There
was a discussion in which Mr. Howell stated he feels we may
have to go into condemnation on some of the remaining 28 lots.
He asked the City Attorney what our position would be if we
lost suit. Mr. Ball advised if we start we will have to follow
through and he would suggest we most ahead cautiously. In
the discussion it was agreed we go ahead with Mr. Boyd, then
contact the other owners. It was also suggested we might be
eligible for some Federal aid on a park project. Following
discussion, Mr. Howell put the question and the motion
carried.
There being no further matters to be considered at this
meeting, Mayor Howell declared the meeting adjourned.
