City Council met to discuss the matter of the condemnation of Maino Con- struction property on Broad Street for street widening purposes. Mayor Clay P. Davidson opened the discussion by stating he believed the City had made an error in starting the condemnation of the Maino property for the reason that the City does not have the necessary funds for which to pay for the condemnation when the value is set by the Courts or by negotiation. Councilman Graves stated he believed that the City would ultimately widen Broad Street, but at this moment the City is in a position of not being financially able to pay for the necessary widening. Councilman Shipsey asked what steps had the City taken to date on proceeding with the condemnation. Mr. Houser, City Attorney, reported that only the litigation report from the title company had been acquired, and quotations I for professional services from three appraisers had been received. Mr. Houser then briefed for the City Council the steps that were necessary to conclude the condemnation proceedings.

Mr. T. C. Maino stated that he wished to remind the City Council that, because 6f prior Council action, he was required at additional expense to redesign his proposed addition to include remodeling of the original building in order to connect the addition to the existing building and still make both buildings usable. Councilman Donald Q. Miller asked could the City settle with Mr. Maino for acquisition of the land without going to Court. Mr. Houser, City Attorney, explained that the City must attempt to negotiate with Mr. Maino before going to Court. Councilman Miller stated he believed that the City Council owed Mr. Maino something for his trouble in redesigning his existing office and addition to fit the new street width. ' The City Council discussed the over =all problem involved in proceeding with the condemnation or abandoning the suit, and attempted to come up with damages to date to Mr. Maino. Councilman Shipsey suggested that the City Council.continue the meeting Until some actual figures are presented to the City Council for its con - sideration'for acquisition of this property, and then make a decision based on these figures. City Attorney Houser reminded Mr. Maino that legally any work done by him before award by a court is done at the risk of the property owner and may not be covered by the court award. City Council discussed with Mr. Maino the amount of:'money involved in the acquisition of his property for street widening purposes, and asked that he get his estimate for land and improvements to the City Council as soon as possible. on motion of Donald Q.

Mr. Wise stated that this portion of the plan must be settled one of these days between the County Planning Commission and the City.
