4B POSSIBLE ACTION ON REAL ESTATE PURCHASE - Ziola made a motion and Lancaster <br /> seconded to approve Resolution #14-003 A RESOLUTIONS TO WITHDRAW HALL COUNTY'S <br /> OFFER TO PURCHASE THE "ONE STOP BUILDING" LOCATED AT 1306 WEST THIRD <br /> STREET FROM THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND - Lancaster stated that the action that the <br /> board is taking is spelled out in the resolution. Initially it was determined that the property would <br /> work for temporary quarters for the courthouse during the renovations. They had looked for <br /> other buildings and did not find anything. The judges need a building that is secure, safe and <br /> functional so a proposal was prepared and submitted by the county. The City and County <br /> Attorneys put together a purchase agreement and the agreement allowed for inspections to <br /> make sure that the building met the standards that would be required by the county. The City <br /> council has not acted on this agreement and the county has continued to look at the building. <br /> There are several concerns, the building has a 1 inch water main and the HAVC is not <br /> adequate. As many as 500 people a day go in and out of the courthouse. By using a temporary <br /> space they thought it would be better than trying to do the work while the people were present <br /> and when they put together some estimates they thought it would save money and they would <br /> have a building to sell. She wants the public and the media to understand. The county did not <br /> have earnest money for this purchase. <br /> Chairman McFarland called for further discussion and no one responded. <br /> The vote on the motion to approve resolution #14-003 was taken. Arnold, Lancaster, <br /> McFarland, Purdy, Quandt, Schuppan and Ziola all voted yes and no one voted no. Motion <br /> carried. <br /> 4 <br />
