Wells Building Purchase Blocked by City Council
City council adjourned amid a heated dispute over buying the Wells building for city offices, recreation facilities and parking. The mayor and council president clashed on resignations as a resolution for $35,000 purchase stalled, with $17,500 from parking meter funds and $17,500 from the general fund proposed. The Planning Commission had recommended the purchase, but no final vote occurred. The mayor planned an amendment to add or in the resolution, or to place the city offices plan to a referendum if needed. Civic groups urged immediate action for a community center, with fire station needs also discussed.
