<br />nected with school district use. Mr. Thomas said the issue of favoritism came up in
<br />HCDC discussion but consensus was that there was none because other neighborhoods
<br />have elementary schools or junior high schools serving as community centers. This
<br />neighborhood has none and this facility would provide a focus for neighborhood
<br />activities. He added that it should in no way be construed as a precedent or that
<br />centers would be acquired for other neighborhoods.

<br />Councilman Bradley wondered about the conditional use permit which would allow the
<br />neighborhood center - what would staff recommend if the property was purchased and
<br />the permit was denied by the hearings official. Mr. Thomas noted that the option
<br />on the property would expire before the hearing on the permit. However, he said
<br />chances were pretty slim that the permit would not be granted because of pressures
<br />from the neighborhood, and staff was prepared to make a positive recommendation on
<br />the use permit. If the permit was denied, he said, the city would probably have no
<br />choice but to sell the property. He was sure, he said, there would be no money lost.
<br />
<br />Councilman Keller assumed the property was zoned for residential use and that if it
<br />did have to be sold, it would still carry the residential zoning. Mr. Thomas answered
<br />that was true, that the property is now zoned R-3 but is developed as single-family
<br />residence.
<br />
<br />Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to adopt the resolution.
<br />
<br />Councilman Bradley said he would vote in favor of the motion, although reluctantly,
<br />because of his basic philosophy that funds should go into program areas rather than
<br />into property acquisition and accompanying maintenance costs - serving peopel rather
<br />than structures.
<br />
<br />Rollcall vote was taken on the motion to adopt the resolution.
<br />Motion carried, all Council members present voting aye.

<br />Copies of bid tabulation were distributed to Council members with the explanation
<br />that contract award was required together with authorization to spend up to $75,000
<br />from the contingency fund for the project sinc~ there were insufficient funds remain-
<br />ing from the original allocation to cover the bids as proposed.
<br />
<br />Manager reviewed the bids, pointing out the deletions proposed to reduce the total
<br />cost and saying that actual cost billed'to the city would be ~ to $134,778, the
<br />recommended award. He said there was about $60,000 available from the original
<br />appropriation. That money, plus $75,000 from the contingency fund would cover the
<br />cost of the low bid. However, there is the possibility the project would not cost
