Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,November 27, 2017 <br /> Page 19 <br /> tion, and if business remained steady a the license center with the improvements <br /> made, the renovations would pay for themselves and still generate revenue, but to <br /> halt the process and attempt to renegotiate with property owners that had already <br /> walked away from previous negotiations just added to a bad situation. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that to return to the negotiating table, with a gas <br /> station and landlord situation involved,just continued the same issues previously <br /> discussed. Councilmember Laliberte noted that what the city did have control <br /> over was the difference in the estimated renovations and actual bids received; and <br /> agreed that returning to the negotiating table may not produce desired results this <br /> round either, with pending renovations still needed and investment made in a <br /> property no city-owned. <br /> Councilmember McGehee noted that by the city purchasing the property, it also <br /> removed a viable property from the tax rolls, whether used to rent out additional <br /> space or future city expansion, it removed additional city revenue. Councilmem- <br /> ber McGehee reiterated that she found this motion to represent an appalling idea. <br /> City Manager Trudgeon stated that he was stunned at the direction being proposed <br /> with this motion based on where the city had come from, with considerable time <br /> already expended in attempting to purchase the property. If it is the will of the <br /> City Council to reject the bids and move forward with additional discussions with <br /> the property owner, Mr. Trudgeon agreed to do so. However, Mr. Trudgeon not- <br /> ed that the initial $250,000 estimate was just that prior to any professional plans <br /> being created for what the city wanted to see for the renovation; with subsequent <br /> City Council review several times followed by approval of them. Mr. Trudgeon <br /> noted that the drivers of the cost of the renovation were based on that plan; and <br /> while recognizing that the costs were higher than anticipated, he reminded the <br /> council that the city had already paid for relocation of the tenant in the additional <br /> city-leased space to accommodate these renovations with the city paying rent on <br /> that unfinished space. For the record, Mr. Trudgeon opined that the council had <br /> held a lengthy and thorough discussion to this point. <br /> Considering the importance of context, Councilmember Willmus noted the higher <br /> numbers brought forward even beyond those included in the packet; with those <br /> dollars going out the window without any ownership stake in the property. Coun- <br /> cilmember Willmus noted that, subsequent to initial discussions, additional space <br /> needs were reviewed with the knowledge that this site would not accommodate all <br /> city space needs going forward, requiring additional space around the city campus <br /> for future needs. Therefore, Councilmember Willmus noted his reconsideration <br /> of spending money on space that the city has no control over, and creating a need <br /> to step back to flesh things out, making it prudent in his opinion to step back <br /> based on knowing the needs of the community. <br /> Willmus moved, Etten seconded, calling the question. <br />
