Mayor says Mel-Comm has no legitimate gripe
Mayor Ronald N. Young on Monday dismissed Mel-Comm Electronics charges of city lease favoritism for mountain land near Gambrill Park. He noted the Hankey Radio lease for 8.86 acres at 330 monthly with a 3600 option to buy, while Mel-Comm’s 0.28 acre lease would rise to 600 annually with adjustable increases and no purchase option. The mayor said the Hankey lease was set by the former administration and the city is bound to it, and Mel-Comm can pursue land purchase elsewhere or seek different terms, but the city is not in the real estate business.
