~/POST OFFICE DISCUSSION
Councilman DeWolfe stated the firm of Hobart-Topper, represented by
Mr. Arthur Lynds, was willing to transfer their property at Fourth Avenue and
F. Street to the City in exchange for another parcel on the Civic Center site
large enough for them to build the proposed Library. This move would make
City property available to the Government for open bidding on their proposed
Post Office.
Local Postmaster Stahlheber suggested that the City be specific as
to the property made available for the Post Office, and not to include property
outside the actual needs of the Post Office.
Mr. Burn Bernas~ presented to the Council plans for a proposed
Post Office on F. Street across from the Civic Center site, for which a zone
variance is pending before the planning Corem1 ssion. The Council was not
favorable to the F. Street location.
It was moved by Councilm~n Rader, seconded by Councilman DeWolfe,
and carried, that the Council approve the transfer of certain property on the
Civic Center site to the firm of Hobart-Topper for their property at the corner
of Fourth Avenue and F. Street, subject to confirmation by the City Attorney
