TIDELANDS AVENUE REPORT City Attorney Lindberg reported that he discussed the pro- posal with the attorney for the propert~ owners, Mr. Rathie yesterday. They discussed a $4,000 a year lease agreement . for a 5 year term period. The City would install ~berm along the roadway adjacent to the motel property which the property owners feel would deter anyone from driving off the roadway and would keep down dust.

COUNCIL CO~NENTS IBM Lease-Purchase Councilman Scott asked if the Attorney had prepared the report requested by the Council concerning the lease-pur- chase of the IBM Series III Copier. Mr. Lindberg indicated he would do so. Councilman Scott then questioned why the Cit~ does not use its own funds to purchase the equipment rather than borrow- ing the money from the Bank of America. City AttOrney Lindberg explained that the Bank of America loaned the City the money at the low rate of 6% because they are depreciating the machine which really belongs to them during the lease-hold agreement period. 7. PORT COMMISSIONER Mayor Hyde explained that the interviews are listed in al- INTERVIEWS phabetical order. Limiting term of Port Councilman Egdahl said he intended, at the last Council Commissioner meeting, to move for reconsideration of limiting the Port Commissioner's term. He did not do so at that meeting because Councilman Cox was not present; however, he pro- poses to make that motion at this meeting. Mayor's Directire Mayor Hyde stated that this was an open meeting; however, he asked the candidates sitting in the audience to leave the room during the interviews until such time as they are called. He felt this would be only fair to the can- didates being interviewed. (1) Phil Creaser Mr. Creaser said he was interested in the position; however, based on the comments of Councilman Egdahl, (to reconsider the position of Bob Campbell, current Port Commissioner), he did not want to oppose Mr. Campbell for the office since they are very good friends. Council discussion Council concurred that Councilman Egdahl should make his motion at this time in order to give the candidates this information. Motion to reconsider It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Councilman term of Port ConuniSsioner Cox and unanimously carried that the Council reconsider its prio~ action which was to limit the term of the Port Commissioner. Council Comments Councilman Egdahl gave his justification for considering the reappointment of Mr. Campbell based on his past record, continuity both to the City and Port, and the dignity and "Class" brought to the position. Councilman Scott spoke in opposition noting the two-term limitation was intended to apply in this case as well as to all boards and commissions. Councilman Cox indicated that Mr. Campbell was not told that he was being limited to two terms. Mayor Hyde remarked that at his last reappointment, Mr. Campbell was informed of this by at least three members of the Council. Held Thursday ~ 3 i December 28, 1978 Council Comments (Continued Councilman Gillow said he was changing his opinion onthis--- he previously favored reconsideration of reappointing Mr. Campbell; however, in fairness to the candidates being interviewed ~oday, he is withdrawing that support.
