Mr. Hamel moved seconded by Mrs. Shirey that if staff is not able to make satisfactory negotiations for purchase of the Gillespie property within a reasonable period of time, the item be brought back to the Council for possible dismissal. Councilman Williams asked for clarification - whether the item was to be brought back for further consideration or for dismissal. Mr. Hamel explained that his intent was that if the staff was unable to negotiate the sale, if the property owner would not sell, condemnation proceedings would be cancelled. Stan Long, assistant city attorney, ex- plained that the resolution just adopted was final - that it authorized condemnation. He recommended that if the Council wanted to consider the matter again prior to start of condemnation the motion should simply instruct staff to notify Council before a con- demnation suit was filed and at that time the Council would have the opportunity to repeal the condemnation authorization. City Attorney's recommendation was acceptable to both Council members Hamel and Shirey and it was understood the motion was to instruct staff to return to Council with the question of acquiring the Gillespie property prior to start of any condemnation proceedings if negotiations were unsuccessful. Motion carried unanimously, Councilwoman Beal not present. Resolution No. 2373 - Authorizing negotiations on property for Barger Drive right- of way was read by number and title only.
