I estimate the present v-alue thereof including land and building to be in the amount of $1,150,000.00. _ Please be advised tha.t the esti.mate of the building value is a replacement cost approach to value utilizing the Marshall Valua.tion Service method. as a guide and based on the assumption that the subject building is a � Class B (r�inforced concrete f�a.me) �ood type hotel consisting of the follo�ring: _ a. exterior wa11s - face brick, stone, masonry, and good ornamentation b. int�rior - terrazzo lobby, earpeted rooms,' and - good decoxation e. lighting, plumbin� and mechanical - good. lighting and bath fixtures, and tile bath floors d. heat - steam heat. � Attached hereto axe thc camputations and process used to determine the same. Certain refinements applicable to this method have not been applied due to lack of data necessaxy thereto. I wish to emphasize that this estimate is of a very prelimi.nary nature based on the limited information ava.ilable to me at this time and as such only reflects the probable market value of the subject property.

III. That on the 29th day of December, 1970, said City Council of the City of St. Paul by an affirmative vote of five (5) to two (2) adopted a �Zesolution of Intent, copy of which is appended hereto as Exhibit A; that � this Resolution of Intent authorized city officials to take all necessary steps to obtain a priority rating for the purchase of those lands and buildings located within the City of St. Paul and commonly referred to as the Lowry Hotel; that the resolution further expresses the intent of the Council that upon the receipt of a priority rating from the Capit$1 Improvements Budget Committee that the Council adopt an amended Capita.l Improvements budget for 1970 appropriating $775, 000. 00 for the purchase of the said Lowry Hotel. IVo That the Capital Improvements Program for the City of St. Paul also authorized by Chapter 460 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1967; that the provisions of Chapter 460 were amended and supplemented by Chapter 1103 of the Session Laws of Minnesota for 1969; that the said Chapter 1103 provides in part as follows: "The Council of said city shall by ordinance provide for the preparation and adoption, by resolution, of an annual capital budget for said city for each year of the aforementioned two- year period, and no funds of said city, from whatever source derived, shall be expended for any capital improvement other than acquisition of office or,mechanical equipmsnt, or fo�r , , minor remodeling or repairs of existing structures, excep't in accordance with said capital budget, which may, however, be , from time to time amended as the council may by �orc�inance P�'escribe, ��, � ., , � � , � � � � � �� .

If the council approve such project, it shall, by ordinance, order the same to be made and provide funds therefor in accordance with the provisions of this charter. " That as expressed in the Resolution of Intent, a copy of which is appended hereto, it does not appear that a report has been made to the City Council of the City of St. Paul disclosing an accurate estimate of the cost of such improvement together with sketch plans and such other data as to give a full detailed nature of this proposed acquisition; that there is not available an accurate estimate of said land need; that the Council has not determined the necessity of obtaining said land; that there has not been presented to the Council a statement certified to by the Comptroller of the said city of the funds available or the manner in which said funds can be provided; that the Council has not approved said project by ordinance nor has any provision been made for said approval by ordinance. VI. That upon information and belief it appears that the Mayor and City Council of the City of St. Paul intend to contract for the purchase of said property on or before December 31, 1970, and to consummate said agreement by the expenditures of public funds therefore without approval of said project by the Council of the City of St. Paul by an ordinance adopted by said Council in accordance with provisions of Chapter 302 of the Charter of the City of St. Paul; that there has been no public hearing � upon this project, that is, upon the question of the acquisition of the Lowry ' Hotel by the Council of the City of St. Paul in violation of the provisions of ; the Charter of said city. � � � , , ,, � �� , , , , , , , �. „ „ , � VII. !

" (Emphasis supplied. ) That upon information and belief the plaintiffs herein state and allege that none of the provisions of said paragraph were complied with in the adoption of the priority rating by the Capital Improvements budget advisory committee on the 29th day of December, 1970; that it does not appear that the $775, 000. 00 requested for the purpose of acquiring the Lowry Hotel was submitted to the Secretary of the Budget Committee; that it does not appear that the request was submitted on forms prepared and provided by the City Comptroller; that it does not appear that said requests were submitted to the Planning Board of the City of St. Paul, .� � nor does it appear that the Planning Board of the City-of St. Faul was � ever afforded the opportunity to consider said requests and to make recommendations therein.
