Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, November 20, 1957 to December 2, 1959, lvc000011-298

He stated that the Salvation Army had planned a capital campaign but set that aside due to the organizing of the United Fund Drive. They have not been successful in raising these funds and they have contacted the Housing Authority and this building has been made available. He requested the City to give the Salvation Army a long-term lease on the property located north of Bonanza Road and West of the railroad tracks. Bud Swanson again spoke to the Commission stating that the United Fund officials had met with the Salvation Army and the Housing Authority who has offered to donate the recently vacated nursery building now located in Kelso Turner. What they would like to know is if it would be possible for the facilities of the City, in conjunction with the County, to move and set up this building for the Salvation Army Shelter. He further stated that he felt they could get sufficient support from the labor organizations to do the necessary work to bring the building up to code once it is relocated. He stated the United Fund would be able to furnish the money to buy the necessary materials that will be needed. Director of Public Works Sauer stated that he had seen this building which they propose to have moved only from a distance and it was his opinion that it would cost between two and three thousand dollars to bring it up to code after it is moved. He further stated that the City does have the type of equipment necessary to move the building and he did not know what the County might have. After some discussion it was the opinion of the Commission that the Salvation Army Shelter serves a very worthwhile purpose and that the City should participate in some way to help with this project, and this matter was referred to the City Manager for investigation and report as to the cost of moving the building and bringing it up to code and preparation of the suggested long-term lease for the new site of the building.
