City Administration Blinding
As you know, the City has submitted an application to the Economic
Development Administration for a new Administration Building to be
located downtown. Part of the requirements of this application is
that the City have title to the site.
In the past month, my office has been working with the County Manager's
office to see if property presently owned or in the process of being
acquired by the County, could be transferred to the City for such a
site. We have come to an agreement that 2 acres located between N.W.
2 and 3 Streets, immediately east of 3 Avenue, could be made available
for this purpose. To quickly visualize the site, it is generally the
site of the old Central High School. Attached, however, is a map
which shows the specific dimensions of the property.
In order to successfully effectuate this transfer, certain obligations
which have long existed between the City and the County were consi-
dered for elimination. Since it is doubtful we would ever come to an
agreement on the following two obligations, we agreed to release the
County from them in exchange for the land.
1. In 1961 the City and County entered into a joint agreement
in consideration for the City allowing the Federal Building
to be constructed on a parcel of property that the City owned.
This site was formerly used by both the Police Department and
Fire Department as their main headquarters. The consideration
that the City received for this agreement was a credit of
$800,000 as prepayment of rent, if and when a joint City -County
building was ever constructed. Releasing the County from the
terms of this agreement in exchange for 2 acres of land in the
downtown area is, in our opinion, releasing the County from
something which will probably never happen anyway.
2. This item involves the County's participation in a downtown
Convention facility in the Government Center site. When the
City chose the site other than in the Government Center, the
requirement that the County participate became vague. There
is no formal agreement between the City and the County that
