June 18, 1979
Discussion was given to putting an option to buy on property for a stated period of
time, with the intent to purchase at the seller's selling price. It was the general
consensus of the Council that the following four properties should be considered for
purchase:
1. Three houses east of Hardee's on Highway 7 West
2. Selle property
3. Lutz property
4. John Miller property
Mayor Black commented he could see advantages and disadvantages on each of the suggested
properties for the location of the liquor store. He further suggested that Ralph Neu-
mann work with City Attorney Schantzen and Realtor Peterson to negotiate the best sell-
ing price and option on property.
Alderman Westlund made the motion to authorize expenditure up to $1,000.00 for options
to buy on the four named liquor store locations. Seconded by Alderman Peterson, the
motion unanimously carried.
