Foresighted Council
We wish to commend the city council for its fort'~igh\Prl recognition of the opportunities afforded b~· the cit;-.·'s arouisition of
the Lutheran Church site. The 3.1-acre tract is the !Gst Jar!!e r!oseto-the-rnre of GrPPnbelt o1wn snar!' left. ~nd in ~·p3r-: to camP the
city and it;: rPsidPnt;; will bo• P.lad that tl-Jey acouired it.
It ,,·a,; no• <•n pasy decisio-,. but the counril was eQual to it.
To be s~1re. the r"it_,. council had tht• hl'lP of two committPe reports
(those of the Ad Hoc Committee and PRAB) which thoroughly
outlinpd all the adnntagt>s of acquiring the property. These include the 2l'Oll;>it!on of ~n PXisting building, which through some
minor modifications would provide additional much-needed recreational and community facilities. and open spare that would
grow more valuable with time. whether used for development or
city activities.
Ne\·ertheless. the council had the responsibility of weighing
the costs against the advantages. To ask for citizen approval of an
expenditure in the neighborhood of $80,000 for a tract whose full
potential has yet to be realized takes courage. But we are confident that the residents. who will have an opportunity to get all
the facts first-hand and to register their views at the public hearing
on this Monday. January 12. will reach the same conclusions as the
council.
As councilman Dick Pilski put it. ··If we don't acquire this
property. five years from now we will be kicking ourselves."

ly City of. Lutheran Property
by Sandra Barnes
A public hearing, Monday, January 12, for the purpose of
listening to citizen viewpoints on the city's acquisition of the 3.1
acre Lutheran Church site, drew some 25 people, with only a few
expressing their opinions.
City Manager Jim Giese presented some facts about the site.
He noted that the vacant land involved is 2.9 acres, plus a 30x75
foot building. The first floor of the building houses a meeting room,
stage, kitchen, classroom, washroom, and storage, area. The s~­
ond floor has two offices. A smaller building houses the heatmg
plant. Both buildings were designed to be expanded, and the city
is offering $80,000 for the property._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __

city's offer, Darwin Beck, speaking

could not say what decision the

price, be noted that some memben
of the council thought the $80,000

Alex Chavrld stood up to express approval by Greenbelt Homes,

and Mayor Francis White replied
that council had obtained one appraisal so far.

got up, for the most part, to rebut
the seemingly lone dissenter In
the audience, Ben Goldfaden. Goldladen had several concerns: l)
why the city needed the property
when It Is already building an ad··
dltion to tbe Youth Center, 2) whether the city was not concerned
about Inflation, and 3) whether the
city has not given the youth of
