NEW BUSINESS
Rettig Machine Shop Demolition - Mr. George excused himself from
participating on this item due to a possible conflict of interest. A request was
received from Mr. Johnny Moore, Managing Partner, Santa Fe Annex
requesting permission to demolish and remove the structure known as the
Rettig machine Shop located at 205 West Stuart Avenue and to extend the
Note and Deed of Trust the City holds security on to January, 2002. Mr.
Freedman stated he is not opposed to the demolition but did have reservations
about extending the note. Mr. Moore reported that the demolition will cost
approximately $20,000 and hoped to fund this by requesting the extension. He
has had no contacts since March from anyone that is interested in preserving
the building. Responding to Councilmembers, Mr. Luebbers replied that the
balance owed is $88,000 and the monthly payments are interest-only at 10%.
Mrs. Gilbreath moved to approve the demolition of the Rettig Machine Shop
located at 205 West Stuart Avenue and extend the due date for the note and
deed of trust from January 1, 2000 to January 2, 2002. Motion seconded by

Mr. Leon Armantrout gave a history of the Santa Fe Depot historical area and

expanding the theater but what is the rush?
