Further you were informed that negotiations were being held with the present lessor of the property occupied by the Welfare Board at 105 East Sixth Street in an effort to secure a cancellation of the existing lease on this property. The City Council was willing at that time to authorize the inclusion of an appropriation of $190,000 with which to purchase this building, but made as a condition of the purchase a provision that some satisfactory settlement of the existing lease on the premises at 105 East Sixth Street should be made. Representatives of the Welfare Board have been negotiating on many occasions since that time with the representatives of the Benz Company, owners of the State Farm Mutual, and Mr. Hillard Marver, lessor of the property at 105 East Sixth Street. After these lengthy negotiations, a proposal was received from the Benz Company to sell the building to the City and the County at a purchase price of $190,000. In addition to that The Benz Company stated that they would be willing to contribute $7,500 toward the settlement of the existing lease on the premises at 105 East Sixth Street. A copy of the letter of proposal from The Benz Company is attached hereto for your information. You will note that the Benz Company has made a provision in their proposal that the transaction conveying title of the building to the City and County must be closed not later than the end of October and further that acceptance of the offer was limited to October 16, 1956. • - 2 - By resolution the Ramsey County Welfare Board decided to recommend to the City Council and the County Board that authorization be granted for the purchase of this building for the use of the Board as a central office. A copy of the Board's resolution is attached hereto. The Board has also received a letter from Mr. Hillard Marver of the Robert & Sixth Company, lessors of the premises at 105 East Sixth Street, in which Mr. Marver offers to release the Board from the existing lease on those premises for a consideration of $28,406.25. This contemplates the termination of the lease as of December 31, 1956. The lease actually runs until September 30, 1960. The offer to settle therefore is the equivalent of about one-half of the value of the remainder of the lease. It should be pointed out that taking into consideration the contribution of $7,500 offered by the Benz Company to help defray the cost of settling this lease, the net cost to the City and County would be $21,960.25. It should also be pointed out to the Council that there is at this writing a currently unsettled legal question as to the authority of Mr. Marver to write such a letter. The lease, itself, was made with the Sixth and Robert Realty Corporation, and it is known that Mr. Marver had a partner or partners in the ownership of the building. Mr. Marver has told us that he has been negotiating for several months to secure title to the property in his own name and has stated further that these negotiations have been settled with the exception that final legal documents have not yet been signed by his other partner or part- ners. He has also said that notwithstanding this fact that his attorney has authorized him to write the letter of release to terminate this current lease agreement. It is of course recognized that this question would have to be settled by the legal staffs of the City and County.
