Regular Council Minutes 9-27-04 Page 27 Mr. Chapman said we talked about that and when you are putting up drywall, you pretty well clean up after the end of the day. Dr. Parker said one other minor issue raised was the arrangement and of course those can be tweaked but the fact that perhaps they should purchase whatever chairs they need and take them to their new facility as opposed to us per se financing their chair purchase and us being left with the used chairs. Obviously, I don't know that our needs have been assessed for chairs but, you know, I think there was a question as to that arrangement and maybe we should look at them maybe as opposed to us financing that. Mrs. Mills said you are still going back to what the lease is going to be. Dr. Parker said I am just throwing that out; I want that as part of the record that we discussed that in our Finance meeting and want that looked at. Council President Buckholtz asked, so what are we doing with this? Are we sending it for a legal opinion and then we will revisit it at Caucus? Mr. Saponaro said code issue is also part of itso I think that we need to look at that. Mayor Rinker asked, subject to those contingencies, do you feel comfortable voting on anything? Several people questioned if it is a church and state issue. Ms. Calta said we have to look into it. Off the cuff if you want an answer, I do not feel that there would be but I would like to look at the details of it. One example is the school having their services; it is really not much different than that arrangement. You haven't talked about actual rent being paid-a dollar amount I assume there is some dollar amount. Mr. Chapman said $14,400 a year. Ms. Calta said that would be considered a fair market value, that we are not giving them something for free. Dr. Parker said it would be nice to get a decision on that simply because I realize the [school] board is different than our civic entity and there may be rules that we practice by that are different from the school board--- Mayor Rinker said here's what I am asking: that we frame this as conditioned upon x, y and z; at least in substance and principle and if Council is comfortable with it, that gives Lloyd, Diane and Joe the opportunity to fine tune this thing and subject to those--and if something crops up, then either we have a special meeting or we come back to it that way. Mr. Saponaro said I have no problem with that. Mrs. Mills asked why not get together and formulate these points that we brought up this evening.
