Hospital
Discussion was held regarding the need and desire for a
hospital. Martel Pacific representatives 6tated that tax free
financing would be available if the City assumes the obligatic-,
and a Doctors group leases the hospital from the City. The
general consensus of opinion was that the hospital would indeed
be needed within two years and that ground work and public
interest should be started now, possibly by forming a citizens
committee.
City Building
Miss Reading, Carl Hanauer & Co., advised the Council that a
non-profit corporation would be formed to purchase the Safety
Building and then lease it back to the City. This would reduce
the present rent by approximately $2,000 per year in addition
to the City owning the building. She indicated that with the
current market this would be accomplished with an interest rate
of 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 %.
Upon motion by Councilman Rogers, seconded by Councilman Foust
and unanimously approved, the Council requested a proposal on
financing the Safety Building to include the following informa-
tion: the interest rate of 4 1/2 - 4 3/4 %; the breakdown of the
cost; and the cost per month.
