NEW BUSINESS
A. Consider Counter Offer for Purchase of Property
The school district has extended a counter offer to the Housing Authority
regarding the possible purchase of the Fruitdale school building.
Housing Authority Minutes - 1 - December 9, 2008
Ken Johnstone discussed the importance of maintaining a good working
relationship with the school district when making a response to the counter
offer.
There was discussion about different avenues for financing the Fruitdale
project. The possibility of historic preservation tax credits was also
discussed. There was some discussion about the possibility of having
marketing students do the marketing plan part of due diligence.
Some concern was expressed about proceeding at this time in light of the
location and current market conditions. There was also concern about
making this decision with only three members of the Authority present.
It was moved by Janice Thompson and seconded by Lena Rotola that
the Housing Authority respond to the school district to thank them for
extending the counter offer for the Fruitdale School property and
inform them that the Authority will be discussing a response at its
January 27, 2009 meeting when more Authority members can be
present. The motion passed unanimously.
