Mohr asked that a feasibility study be completed <br />by staff with regard to the undergrounding issue. <br />^OUNTY SALES TAX Stahl informed Council that on Tuesday, April <br />13th, the Boulder County Commissioners held a <br />public hearing and discussed imposing a County- <br />wide 1$ sales and use tax. At the conclusion of <br />that hearing, the Commissioners set a Special <br />County Election for May 16, 1989. Council may <br />want to discuss the election issues and the <br />impacts/benefits for Louisville. <br />Mayor Fauson stated that Council should look at <br />the proposed County resolution carefully. <br />Anderson stated that there was much concern at the <br />hearing on the resolution by the Commissioners and <br />felt it was important to look at the impacts for <br />Louisville carefully. <br />Mohr concurred and moved with Ferrera seconding to <br />table the motion until May 2, 1989. Motion passed <br />7-0. <br />BUILDING DEMOLITION - AQUARIUS <br />PROPERTIES OPEN SPACE This item was pulled from the Consent Calendar to <br />discuss the use of that property as the question <br />is often asked if this property could be used for <br />various activities including a senior center. <br />Mohr asked if staff could clarify the intended use <br />of this property since it is being purchased by <br />lottery funds. <br />Stahl stated that there are a couple of issues. <br />The plans are to demolish the property primarily <br />due to the structural problems that exist on that <br />particular building that the City purchased <br />through a lease-purchase agreement from the <br />Aquarius group approximately seven years ago. The <br />total proceeds that the City receives from the <br />lottery go toward the purchase of this property <br />that must be used for parks, public open space. <br />Council does not have the discretion to lease it <br />long-term to a private organization whether it be <br />profit or non-profit. The building is not <br />structurally sound and there is a liability that <br />exists. Therefore, staff is requesting permission <br />for demolition. <br />Mohr moved and Ferrera seconded that the amendment <br />to the Aquarius Development land purchase contract <br />authorizing the City to demolish the existing <br />structure at no additional cost unless default on <br />the purchase agreement occurs. Motion carried 7- <br />0. <br />9 <br />
