'WHFR.EAS� on the 26th day of April� pursuant to Council
File 206762� approved April 12� 1962� the City entered into
, an agreement in the nature of a lease of privilege running to
Public Pools, Inc. � whereby Publi�c Pools, Inc. undertook to
and did construct and operate a pool �i� a portion of the site
of the former workhouse buildings within Como Park; and
'�THEREAS� Chester Products� Inc. a foreign corporation�
recovered a judgment against Public �'ools� Inc. on October 7,
1964, in the a.mo�n.t of �24,404.00 in�the District Court of
Hennepin County, which judgment was against Public Pools� Inc.
and its individual shareholders� and �in partial satisfaction of
said j�.dgment the shareholders transfe�red all their stock to
Chester Products� Inc. with the result that Public Pools� Inc.
is now wholly owned by Chester Products, Inc. ; and
WHEREAS� Chester Products Inc. �and Public Pools, Inc.
have offered to sell the Como �'ool to the City of �aint Paul
and release all �ight� title and privilege under the Publi�
Swimming Pool License Agreement dated April 26� 1962� and all
amendments thereto, for the amount of the judgment� but have

� '' - � -
�iEREAS� The Commissioner of Parks and Recreation and
Public Buildings� the City Comptroller and the Corporation
Counsel have studied this matter and recommend the acceptance
of this transaction on the groun.ds that •the operation of� Como
� Pool by a private corporation wholly own.ed by a.n out-of-state
' corporation is not in the best interest of the City; that the
� � main purpose of the foreign corporation would not be to operate
�► �, a pool� but to satisfy a �udgment; that the lack of local
�'� interested supervisors would increase the risk of da.mage and
�; deterioration .to the pool and appurtenances; that the private
use of the pool after public hours� has in the past, created a
noise problem and with lack of proper supervision it is very
� likely that said problem wi11 be intensified; that there will
� be a greater burden placed upon the Public Safety and Parks -
Department supervisory employees by virtue of such operation;
