City Council Special Session, May 10, 2001
The City Council recessed the Special Session and convened in Executive Session at 6:45
p.m.
The City Council adjourned the Executive Session at 7:45 p.m. and reconvened in open

Mayor Lewis called for a motion.
A motion was made by Council Member Grubb, seconded by Council Member Bertini,
to authorize the City representatives to finalize the purchase of the Y.M.C.A. for a
purchase price of $3,500,000.00. In connection with the purchase, the Y.M.C.A. would
be required to abate all accessible asbestos and any friable lead-based paint prior to
closing, and would be required to maintain the building so that there is no friable lead-
based paint during the term of their lease. If the Y.M.C.A. uses less than $100,000 to
abate the asbestos, then the City would be credited that unused dollar amount at closing
against the purchase price. Additionally, as part of the lease of the building, the Y.M.C.A
agrees to make all of the suggested Law Engineering repairs, replacements or operation
and maintenance items that are designated to be done within two years and that they be
required to complete these items within 9 months of May 10, 2001. Furthermore, the
lease will be amended to provide that the Y.M.C.A. will maintain all air conditioning and
heating units in operable condition during the entire term of the lease and, at the end of
the lease when they deliver the building to the City, all heating and air conditioning units
be operable. Additionally, the Y.M.C.A. will be required to repair and maintain the roof
during the entire two-year term of the lease in a status so that it does not leak at all and
that the building be delivered to the City at the end of the lease with a roof that does not
leak. All of this is subject to the City being able to get a final environmental report to the
City?s satisfaction.
The motion was amended by Council Member Grubb and seconded by Council Member
Bertini, to include that the Y.M.C.A. be required to develop and maintain an operations
maintenance program to maintain both the asbestos and lead-based paint.
A vote was taken on the motion and amended motion with the following result:
Voting Aye: Mayor Lewis, Council Members Ballanfant, Bertini, Grubb
and May
Voting Nay: None
Absent: None
