aeeeeeaneAte of the PrOpOrty, Vhttb VAS itteludod in there, but I
dos 4 t have that ieterttat ion.I An Aware that he s,bid the
property to a different corporation$ whteh le his own.
Mrt pluffimtrl T*s4 but you knout, you are time ,goitg to, what you
Stop And thie'k And you all have been it this for a hall of A le tg
time, but you knew. there are people living in that tine unit...
Mr. Milian: Corrects
Mrs Plummer: ..4 and -when you start relocating people, you donut
do that overnight, but here &gains I think this Commission is now
on retard by this motion that it is our intent- and desire to
purchase this; pareel and that at least gene you started and that
will give the Administration the right to go and select
appraisers to do the appraisals which is another one of the steps
that have to be done and all weare doing is ,just starting it in
action today, Hopefully, hopefully, there cad be a negotiation'
and A friendly take.
Mr. Milinnt OK, Commissioner, with all due respect, t want to
point out the fact that the same kind of a#motion was, passed in
198S, directing the City Attorney and the City Manager to take
whatever necessary steps were necessary to buy the property or t0
use eminent dom8in, and we here two years afterwards, still
suffering the same deterioration of the quality of life in that
neighborhood.
Mr. Plummert And you know why you are hers and I can't sit here
An guarantee you it won't happen again. It was the legality of
the courts and all of that process and that is something, you
know we don't control the courts, OK? I would hope that could be
avoided, but at that particular time, we did not say to the
Administration, we are now on record that we want `to own' it. I
think that is a big 'difference 'this than the last time.
Mayor Suarez: We have -a motion and a second. Any furtherzr
i
discussion, cull the roll.
