Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, December 8, 1959 to February 17, 1960, lvc000012-27

City Manager Kennedy advised that the Frontier Girl Scouts were desirous of transferring their present lease on property located at Second and Mesquite to property located behind the National Guard Armory, between the National Guard Armory on Stewart Street and the road going into Hadland Park parking lot, and that they would like a lease with an option to purchase. Commissioner Sharp stated the property would have to be purchased at the appraised value and suggested an appraisal be prepared and submitted to the Commissioners. Commissioner Fountain stated he would like to see an enlarged map of the vicinity, in order to ascertain just which section the Girl Scouts were desirous of purchasing. It was the feeling of the Board of Commissioners that a transfer of the lease would be desirable, but that the matter of entering into a lease with an option to purchase should be deferred pending receipt of an appraisal and an enlarged map. Commissioner Fountain inquired as to the present status of this matter and City Manager Kennedy advised the Personnel Department and Mr. Heath were checking into the matter and would have a recommendation at the next meeting. Commissioner Sharp stated he would like the City Manager and City Attorney to make a further investigation with reference to personnel driving ambulances and, in this connection, set up a program regarding qualifications and the passing of First Aid Classes, so that First Aid cards might be issued to such personnel.
