OFFICE LEASING PROPOSALS Council had before them for action office space leasing proposals for the purpose of consolidating the location of City of Austin employees. Motion Councilmember Nofziger made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Urdy to purchase the Byram properties. Councilmember Shipman said she could not support buying property at this time because she does not feel it is appropriate to incur more debt. Councilmember Urdy said he felt it did not matter whether the City leases or purchases property, there is still a payment. Mayor Cooksey said he does not favor the purchase of the Byram properties because: (1) We would not have title to the existing property under the tracts (2) The long term objective for leasing is to have City employees closer together and save money..the location of the Byram properties would still mean employees would have to be shuttled from one department to the other (3) The architects for the Civic Center have set aside a site for the Municipal Office Complex in the same area as the proposed Civic Center. Mayor Cooksey said he would not vote in favor of the motion.
