Discussion was held concerning the recent request of the YMCA for a location for their proposed new building. Mr. Pedderson was present and the Commission stated that the City-owned property known as Block 8, Biltmore Addition Annex #3 would not be available. Mr. Pedderson was further informed that the City had listed this particular property with the Real Estate Brokers in January, 1953, and up until the present time had not received an acceptable bid. At this time an offer for the purchase of Block 8, Biltmore Addition, Annex #3 for $55,000.00 cash, was received. This proposal came from Dr. Alexander Coblentz and a check in the amount of $5500.00 was placed on deposit. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved this offer to purchase Block 8, Biltmore Addition Annex #3 for $55,000.00 be accepted as this property has been listed with the Real Estate Brokers since January, 1953; and it is the opinion of the Commission that this offer is the only one received at a price acceptable to them during this period of time. Motion seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. It was the concensus of the Board that the money realized from the sale of this property be "earmarked" for recreational facilities on the Westside. Thereafter the City Manager and City Engineer were instructed to submit a plan for the proposed Westside recreational center. At this time the Board considered the request of Judge Walter J. Richards for payment of his salary from November 27, 1953 to and including June 7, 1954. It was the opinion of the City Attorney that Judge Richards was not entitled to payment of salary from November 27, 1953 to and including January 10, 1954, as he requested leave of absence without pay, but was entitled to his salary from January 11, 1954, to and including June 7, 1954, as he is an elected officer and may recover salary for the term between lawful suspension and the expiration of such suspension. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved that Judge Richards be paid back salary from January 11, 1954, to and including June 7, 1954, and the Mayor and Clerk authorized to sign the warrant when prepared. Motion seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the City Engineer requested the authorization of a purchase order to Win Ward Company in the amount of $5,048.05 for electrical equipment to be mounted on the 1½ Ton Truck for the Electrical Department, Bid No. 54.18. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved the City Engineer's request be approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes none. At this time the City Manager discussed with the Commission the request of the Fire Department for two additional cars to be used for the Fire Prevention Bureau. It was suggested by the Board that possibly bids on used cars could be secured. It was further suggested that only one car be purchased at this time. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, the meeting adjourned. 6-28-54
