APPE�Rt�NC� : Richard C. jVard
PROCF..F1)INGS : bir. jVard said he bought the building, iJhich is bellind his
business establishment , taith the intentian of moviiig it to another l.oca�ion,
using the vacated lot for parking space . There taas a possibility tlzat
A�errick Community Center might buy it and move it within the next fei�
months , but if he took on the projecfi himself, it was likely to be about
a year from now. He ti�as aware o:E the need. to update the electrical service ,
but he felt it was unfe�sible ta go to tliis exnense �if the structure laas
to be m�ved.
Fran}: StafFenson said there were certain items tjlat should be done regard-
less o� an imminent move if people ��lere to coiitinue living in the liolzse
sa£e1y. Items 6 and 7, grouncling of a bathroom outlet and provi.ding a
non- conductive cord for a wall-mounted light fixture , should be do�ie ,
and Items 10 through 16 , involving exposed wixing, a door loose on its
hiiiges , a �rounding jumper on the iaater meter, and installatian ol a
smoke detector �aere matters of life-safety as 1�=ell. Heat�ng of tlie
bedrooms on second floor could be put o�f until Se��tember.
P�Ir. �Vard said he assumed he would not be renuirecl to do any of these
items if the building was vacatecl. Mr. Staffenson said that iJas correct.
BOt'�RD ACTION: Mrs . Bostrom moved that a ttvo-month extension of time be
granted to complete Items 6 , 7 , and 10 through 16 , and an extension of
one year be granted for completion of the remaining items listed in the
city 's letter of March 26 , 1982 . Mrs . Collins seconded. D40TION C�RRTED
