I URGE YOU STRONGLY NOT TO TAKE THIS ACTION. THE VOTERS OF THE CITY SOME YEARS
AGO SAID DEFINITELY THEY DID NOT WANT THE CITY TO BE I~ THE OFF-STREET PARKING BUSINESS.II
ALSO, A COMMUNICATION DATED JANUARY 25, 1960 FROM HALE G. THOMPSON, ATTORNEY, WAS PRESENTED AND
READ AS FOLLOWS:
IITHIS LETTER IS WRITTEN TO THE COUNCIL THROUGH YOUR OFFICE (CITY MANAGER) WITH
RESPECT TO THAT CERTAIN LETTER OF JANUARY la, I~60 ADDRESSED TO YOU BY ME ON BEHALF
OF MY CLIENT, FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE LIBRARY PROPERTY.
I AM ADVISED THAT THERE WILL BE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL MADE AT ITS
MEETING, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1960, TO REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE BID WHICH WAS MADE IN
THE SUM OF $56,125.00. PLEASE ACCEPT THIS LETTER AS A FORMAL PROTEST TO SAID
RECOMMENDATION AND A REQUEST ON BEHALF OF MY CLIENT THAT. THE RECOMMENDATION BE
REFUSED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL.
I
,I
IT IS MY PERSONAL FEELING THAT SUCH A PROCEDURE, IF ADOPTED, WOULD BE A VERY
REGRETTABLE PRECEDENT TO BE ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY OF EUGENE, PARTICULARLY IN
LIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS ACTION OF THE COUNCIL DIRECTING ITS ADMINISTRATIVE DEPART-
MENT TO SELL THIS PROPERTY. I FAIL TO FIND ANYTHING IRREGULAR WITH RESPECT TO THE
COUNCIL'S ACTION IN SO DIRECTING ITS SALE, OR IN THE SALE PROCESSES UP TO THIS
POINT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE BASIS, INSOFAR AS I KNOW THEM AT THIS TIME, FOR
THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE RESTS UPON SOLID GROUND. IF IT BE TRUE THAT
THE COUNCIL HAS CONSIDERED THE REASONS FOR THE SALE, THEN THOSE REASONS MUST STILL
EXIST. To HOLD THIS PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF A PARKING LOT, IN MY ESTIMATION
IS UNECONOMIC AND CONTRARY TO A MANDATE OF THE PEOPLE WITH RESPECT TO THE CITY OF
EUGENE ENGAGING IN THE PARKING LOT BUSINESS. -

AM fULLY AWARE OF THE RESERVATION OF RIGHTS MADE BY THE CITY IN ITS NOTICE
OF SALE, BUT I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MORAL JUSTIfiCATION OF THE COUNCIL
SHOULD IT ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE. THE NOTICE OF SALE CON-
TAINED NO RESTRICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY USE TO BE MADE OF THE PROPERTY, NOR DID
IT CONTAIN A MINIMUM BID, OR ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT OF USE. IT DOES NOT SEEM FITTING,
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, TO NOW IMPRESS CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON A BID MADE IN GOOD
FAITH AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR A REFUSAL OF THE BID.

THESE POINTS AT THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING.II
IT WAS MOVED BY MR. MCGAFFEY SECONDED BY MR. MOYER THAT THE BID AS NOTeD ABOVE BE ACCEPTED AND
THE PROPERTY SOLD TO HALE G. THOMPSON, ATTORNEY, ON BEHALF Of A CLIENT AT THE BID PRICE OF $56,~25.00.
ROLLCALL VOTE. MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEN LAURIS, MOLHOLM, MCGAFFEY, CHATT AND MOYER VOTING AYE;
