City Manager Blom stated that there might be able to get title to the property for a period of ninety days. It was felt this would not hamper the city, however,.inasmuch as there is no immediate need for the . property. Mayor pro tem Granger asked how the Council's action would bind Mr. Frost. City Manager Blom expressed the opinion that Mr. Frost's letter would be binding if the Council accepts his offer before June 25th. Mayor Granger asked if it would be necessary to place an option before that date. City Manager Blom was of the opinion that a certified copy of the motion made by the Council would be sufficient to notify Mr. Frost of the Council's acceptance of his offer. In his letter, he had asked for formal notification.of the Council's action. City Attorney Currie stated that Mr. Frost could deposit the deed with the title company with instructions to deliver it to the city upon consummation of the deal. Councilman Werder stated that Mr. Frost was more than acting in good faith in this matter inasmuch as he has another deal pending for a considerable sum over and above the price the city is going to pay for the property. City Attorney Currie again stated that he believed that Mr. Frost's letter and the action of the Council would be ample to bind the sale but that if the Council wished it might be wise to deposit some money with the title company. Mayor Granger was still of the opinion that it would be wise to deposit money with the title company and Councilman Werder moved, seconded by Councilman Swift, that the City Manager, as -part of the best possible arrangements, be given authority on the part of the Council to make any necessary payment of cash in order to acquire the Robertson property. Motion passed unanimously. Councilman Swift moved, seconded by Councilman McNulty, that the meeting be adjourned. Motion passed unanimously. R. S.
