Determination will have to be made as to how to do it , when . and how to pay for it . Mr . Carl Kulitich , 70 Foss Drive , questioned involve - ment of Government Services , feeling teat when Federal funds are involved in any project , certain requirements and restrictions imposed by them must also be expected . Felt also that as a taxpayer it was important to him that cost of the project be determined first . City Manager responded that it was necessary first to know what is to be built and when , before costs and means of financing can be calculated . Relative to the re- ference by the architects to GSA , this was only in reference to the main post office , situated immediately adjacent to the site of the proposed Complex , which is one of the few remaining post offices remaining under ownership of the Federal government , and that under new provisions , post space can be leased . He added this land was considered extremely valuable to the total layout , and this led to discussions with GSA to the end that there would be physical exchange of property , in return for rent - free postal space , up to the value of the property . There is no grant from the Federal government involved . Bert Betts , financial cnnsultants for the project , explained they have put in a great deal of time on detailed studies with staff and the architects , but are not in a position at this time to make recommendations as to type of financing , and this will be possible only after the plan is decided upon , time involved in various phases of construction .
