TURTLE BAY ACQUISITION , The report of Councilmen Fulton and Chatfield on Turtle Bay Acquisition was s ubmitted: Since the last discuss,ion of the Turtle Bay. purchase and the committee 'report ;recommendirig the purchase of the Kutras property be deferred, we have 'received word 'from Mrs. Kutras that she would sell the property for $500, 000 and.possibly with a 4% appreciation or interest rate. Mrs. Kutras also desires some action from Couneil:; _ which would confitrm the city's desire to purchase or relieve her of any responsibility that her letter giving .the. city the first riglit of refusal may have._ ' �..�0 It would appear that we have three alternatives: (a) To abandon any further consideration of tlie property and notify Mrs. Kutras that the city is no longer interested in the pur:chase. (b) To purchase the property on a long-t erm option plan similar to the Benton plan. (c) To determine that the purchase is desirable but wait for the results of the bond issue before purchasing.and negotiate an option for the period of time it will take to know the results of the bond issue. ' Approach 'c' would appear to have merit and be most: desirable if the. optio,n is not too expensive. ' Councilman Chatfield stated the $500, 000 does not include the small parcel of land with the house. He said Mrs. Kutras is, willing to proceed on a long term (15' year) option-purchase agreement. 240 T�e reported the property includes 120. to :_1',4;0'�:cres to the center of the river, some subject to varying degrees of inundation; that. 18. 2. acres are above the maximum flood level and approximately 60 acres are subject to semi-flooding. It.is estimated 25 acres are available for construction without fill. Mayor Moty. stated the .property is desirable for the City in the future and that present property. owners should nc� be burdened with the purchase. He recommended an expression of the people by a bond issue which if successful would spread the cost of acquisition, etc. over the years so that the people who benefited by the use, would pay for it. MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Hummel directing the City Attorney to negotiate an option and to take steps necessary for a bond issue in the s.pring.
