Council Minutes of 11/18/2003 ,~,,. Joseph Bouman, 23950 Lessner Road. ^ He is concerned about pot holes. Walter, Columbia and Claque roads have a multitude of pot holes which are too big for crack fill. He would like to see these potholes taken care of before the roads have to be replaced. ^ The ordinance authorizing the sale of the library to the schools does not give the price. Mr. Limpert answered it was $550,000. Mr. Bouman said he believed the appraisal was bogus as it ignored cost approach and replacement cost. The tax value of the property is almost a million dollars. The schools have a building right next door that is virtually empty which they could use. They want us to sell cheap to them so they can waste money when they have a building they own that they could use for their administration. The city does not have adequate space in City Hall and could use the old library for office space instead of selling it for less than $50 a square foot when the replacement cost would be $120 a square foot. He does not believe selling the building is in the city's best interests. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2003-134 introduced by Mayor Musial was given its third reading.
