SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY_COUNCIL
MONDAY, JULY'13, 1981
The special meeting of the Hutchinson City Council was called
to order by Mayor Westlund at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, July 13, 1981.
Council members present were Mayor Westlund, Aldermen Gruenhagen,

Plotz was also in attendance.
The City Council discussed the purchase of the building commonly
known as the Wigen Building located at First Avenue Southwest. It
was noted that an appraisal has been completed on the property showing
a current market value of $101,340. The property would have a
proposed use of public parking, pursuant to the Hutchinson Downtown
Parking Plan. It was noted that the Hutchinson Parking Advisory
Committee included this parcel as a high priority for acquisition.
Mayor Westlund stated that he has been in contact with the -
Citizens Bank, the present owner, which is willing to sell at
the appraised price. One of the conditions of the sale is that
in the event the City changes the use of the property from public
parking to any other use, the bank would be offered the opportunity
to repurchase the property at the current market value. The
terms and conditions of the proposed supplemental agreement were
reviewed by the Mayor.
There was a motion by Ken Gruenhagen, seconded by Ted Beatty
to purchase the property, (described as follows) including supplemental agreement.
[Lot 6, except the West 62.70 feet thereof, and Lot 7, except
the West 62.70 feet of the South 4.00 feet thereof, all in
Block 8 in the South Half, City of Hutchinson.]
