Eugene, Oregon December 31, 1940 /s/ Elisha Large, Mayor * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Council Chambers Eugene, Oregon December 31, 1940 The council met in special meeting pursuant to the call of Mayor Large. Councilmen present were: A. A. Reid, Sam C. Hond, Fred C. Carlson, A. C. Farrington, Louis Koppe, E. A. Harette and Orren Brownson; absent: I. O. Stewart. Mayor Large herewith called the meeting to order. City Attorney S. M. Calkins stated that attorneys representing the First National Bank of Eugene and the Eugene branch of the United States National Hank I of Portland, had agreed upon the right of the city to issue warrants covering the two year tax levies for the purchase of the municipal airport site and the method of handling the business with the banks would be as follows: For the purchase of each tract of land the City of Eugene would draw two warrants, each covering fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price, and each bank would receive one warrant. Concerning the option from Clyde F. and Juanita Crawford, the City Attorney stated that after very 'careful consideration on the part of himself and Mayor Large, because the Crawfords were objecting to the option price of $6500 instead of $7000, due to the amount being paid for adjoining property, it was their recommendation that the price of the Crawford property be increased from $6500 , to $7000 and papers had been drawn to this effect. As to the reservations in the options for crops on the F. E. and Cora S. Hyland property and the John H. and Agnes V. Bernards property it was felt that no difficulties would be experienced by the city because other sections of the airport would be worked upon first. It was agreed that the option price of $8500 would be paid for the J.. C. Hurzeler property, which was the highest price paid for any of the pieces of land. Since the signing of the option, the Hurzelers asked an additional $1140 for crops, but, after considerable discussion with their attorney, Bernard Fedde, the Hurzelers were apparently giving up their crop claim and were going to take the I position that the option was not good. The Mayor and City Attorney requested the council's authority to file suit, if necessary, for completion of the contract as it now stands. A resolution was presented and unanimously approved, au tlLOI'izin the City Attorney to proceed with such action for the acquisition of any of the lan s embraced in the proposed airport for the City of Eugene. City Attorney Calkins stated it was his opinion that the city would be in a very favorable position shoul such action become necessary.
