Council Memo 8 6/29/89 PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER Council had before them for consideration a resolution to consider authorizing the City Manager to take appropriate action for property acquisition for the Convention Center.

Motion Mayor Cooke made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Nofziger, to instruct the City Manager to proceed to exercise the option put forth by private landowners (Robert Knight package, including Littlefield tract) as well as working with The University of Texas, acquiring the option immediately and if the bond election passes, the land will be acquired subject to terms set out in the free option document. Mayor Cooke stated that the offer was one million dollars above the appraised value for a total of $7.2 million and that the total price of the entire site could go as high as $9.8 to $12.8 million dollars, but that this would be well within the scheme of the $69 million bond election as presented to the voters.
