Mayor Capra noted right now this was zoned as public <br />property, which puts limitations on it. <br /> <br />Council Member Terway stated he was in favor of looking into this and seeing what they <br />needed to do to make it work. He stated he was concerned about what the cost of the <br />property would be. <br /> <br />Council Member Glaser stated if the City were paying more than market value for the <br />property, they would need to justify why they were doing this. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra noted Father Fitzgerald had stated he wanted this to remain as open space <br />for the citizens if it was sold. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar stated he was in favor of this, but he believed after next year the <br />City would be strapped for cash. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Lee.. seconded by Council Member Terway. to direct <br />statT to oreoare a First Ri2ht of Refusal for the Church of St. Genevieve Prooertv. <br />All in favor.

CentervilIe Sesquicentennial <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated they would have their 150 year celebration next year. She asked if <br />the Council wanted to form an ad hoc committee for this celebration and indicated she <br />had some ideas the committee could work on. She stated if there were any citizens or <br />business owners that want to be included on this committee, to email her or the City Hall. <br />She noted there was a two story log house within the blue house located downtown. She <br />indicated the existing home had been built around the log house. She stated she had <br />asked if it would be possible to take apart the house, preserving the log cabin. She stated <br />she was still looking at the possibilities and indicated this log cabin could be one the <br />oldest existing structures in the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee stated his only reservation would be the cost of removing the <br />existing home and moving the cabin. <br /> <br />Council Member Terway noted they needed to think about that if it goes, it was gone and <br />there was no chance of finding out if it was significant in terms of historical. He asked <br />the Council to be cautious and make sure there was no historical significance to the log <br />home. <br /> <br />Page 70f8 <br /> <br />;p <br />
