City Council Meeting <br />March 11, 2002 <br />Page 9 <br />for the public, but there was a large parking lot which could be used for police <br />vehicles. He also noted that there was access from West Collegiate for another <br />driveway, if needed. He mentioned the beautiful landscaping already on site, so <br />a great deal of money will not have to be spent for that. He said that although <br />the purchase of this building would take it off the taY rolls, Rodgers - Wade <br />plans to build a comparable building adjacent to their main location on 3~d Street <br />SW which would be taxable and would be of roughly equal value, thus <br />mullifying the loss to the taY base for this transaction. <br />City Attorney Schenk indicated that the six (6) months requested by Rodgers - <br />Wade would not be wasted. They would have access to the building and the <br />architect could make the designs for remodeling. <br />Resolution No. 2002-060, authorizing City Staff to negotiate an earnest money <br />contract with Rodgers - Wade for the purchase of the site for the new Police and <br />Municipal Courts Building, was presented. A motion to approve was made by <br />Mayor Pro Tem Manning, seconded by Councilman Gray. The motion carried <br />5 ayes, 0 nays. <br />A request in change of zoning of Lot 8 and 9, Block 1, Pine Bluff Addition, <br />1400 Block of East Price Street, owned by Mabel MaYine Cooper, from a Two <br />Family Dwelling (2F) to Multiple Family Dwelling was referred to the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission for their consideration at their meeting on April lst. <br />There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. <br />Michael J. Pfiester, Mayor <br />ATTEST: <br />Thomas E. Haynes, Asst. City Clerk <br />
