Minutes-10/12/1988

Greenleaf: Neither C-1 nor M-1 describes in particular what you wish to do with the building the town bought. This leaves some options open. I would suggest that you consider waiting to see what happens with the bank and then do the whole thing at once. There's no problem with a zoning violation against yourself. Maybe your own zoning ordinances don't apply to the city. The options are 1) Amend the descriptions now and include city owned storage building, or 2) Wait for bank to come forward with request and then rezone everything to maintain control and consistency. The bank may have a buyer in another month. This would give the city more control over what goes on there. Motion Spivey second Stratton to table the rezoning issue for the new city property until Iowa State Bank makes a rezoning request for the remainder of the property. Carried unanimously. Attorney reported that there are no specific procedures for the sale of the old building. It could be sold by best bid or public notice. Hart reported that L.L. Pelling street repair project cost was $15,234.79. Attorney reported that First Trust and Savings Bank of Oxford requested that the business name on the cable franchise documents be changed and brought into conformity with the legal name.

Greenleaf reported that the First Trust and Savings Bank of Oxford has asked for an assignment of the franchise so they can have a lien on everything with ordinance No. 150 provides that no assignments can be made without council approval.
