CIT'' HALL - CITY OF LODI
SEPTEMBER 28, 1950
A special meeting of the City Council was held beginning at 5:00
o'clock P.M. of Thursday, September 28, 1950, all Councilmen having
signed a " Waiver of Formal Notice and Consent to Meeting " prior to
the hour of meeting.
Councilmen Bull, .Preszler,:Binn and Tolliver present; Councilman
Haskell absent but assenting to this meeting as above stated.
City Clerk, T. F. Blakely, acting for City lhmger H. D. Weller
now out of the City on vacation:presented the offer of Roy K. Miura
submitted by Carl T. Lind, to purchase Block 36 Mokelumne, generally
known as " Salem School Grounds " for $35,000 and tendering a check
for 43,500 payable to the City as evidence of his sincerity.
It appearing that the purpose for which this parcel of land was
purchased no longer exists, the City having purchased a ten acre tract
further south for park and play grounds, the Councilmen present
proceeded to state their ideas of the value of the property. No
offer better than $25,000 -had ever been received and this ]atter
figure seemed to be the general opinion of real estate agents as about
the true value of it. The parcel being off the tax rolls brings in
no returns and the Council was unanimous in its opinion that its
present temporary use as a storage yard should be discontinued.
Finally, it was decided that the City accept the offer but that
the buyer assume such part of the real estate agents commission and
of the casts of transfer so that the City would receive a net of
434,000.
In accordance with this decision, Resolution No. 1563 was
introduced by Councilman Rinn, Bull second and carried by the follow-
ing vote:
AYES: Councilmen, Rinn, Bul1, Preszler and Tolliver
NOES: Councilmen, None. ABSENT: Councilmen, Haskell.
As the waiver of notice also contained a clause that the Council
at this time would affirm the sale of the Lodi Armory property to the
State of California beik,the City Clerk reported that the deed and
agreement for sale received from the State was defective Lathe des—
cription of the lots to be conveyed as agreed upon between Mr Weller
and the Adjutant General's office, so no action was taken at this time.
The City Clerk requested a ruling from the Council on the amount
to be charged the " llhnteca Falcons " for use of the Lodi Stadium on
September 30th. awes held that the regular cleanup charge should be
made in the agreement but that this be adjusted if the " Falcons" had
been charged or had paid 4200.00 fora previous gams, which 4200.00
included a clean up charge of $100.00.
At the order of the Lhyor, the City Council adjourned at 5:55 P.M.
