. October 2, 1989 Special Council Meeting, Page Four KEM MILLING City Attorney Filla noted that Rolfe Worden, attorney UPDATE for Kern Milling, called him on September 25 indicating that Kern would agree to sell their property to the City for $440,000, as is, which was $110,000 less than the original purchase price agreed upon. Mr. Worden contacted Filla again on October 2, noting he did not have a response from the City yet. Filla noted that in a previous meeting with Kem Milling representatives, the City offered $385,000 for the site, as is. He asked what the City wanted to do in this regard and felt it might be worthwhile to discuss, as Kem Milling would like an answer as soon as possible. After discussion of possible demolition and clean-up costs for the site, Councilmember Malone moved, seconded by Councilmember Mahowald, to amend the purchase agreement and to offer $385,000 for the site, as is, based on the clean-up costs contained in the Delta report. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). After further discussion of possible funding to remove the contaminated tanks, Council concurred to withdraw the motion and directed City Attorney Filla to ask for a written request from Rolfe Worden, to be received by Friday, October 6, for discussion at the October 10 Council meeting. .
