City Council Minutes <br /> November 9, 2004 <br /> Page 7 <br /> ------------------------------ <br /> 8.1. Review Chamber Building Lease <br /> Council Member Johnson indicated that she would abstain from any <br /> discussion or motion on this issue as she is employed by the Chamber of <br /> Commerce. <br /> The City Clerk noted that a meeting was held with City representatives <br /> and Chamber Board representatives to discuss the Chamber Trailside <br /> building. It was the consensus of those at the meeting that the Chamber <br /> would continue to lease the building from the City and to pay off the <br /> building. After the building is paid in full, the Chamber would like to own <br /> the building. The Clerk noted that because there are restrictions set by the <br /> DNR that are tied to the deed, she would have to check to see if it is <br /> possible for the City to sell the building and property to the Chamber. <br /> It was the consensus of the Council to have staff check with the DNR <br /> regarding the possible sale of the building and then to bring the issue back <br /> for Council discussion. <br /> 8.2. Bobber Water Tower Lease— Chamber of Commerce <br /> The City Clerk indicated that the Chamber currently leases the water <br /> tower and old Chamber building from the City.
