Moved by Alderman Thompson:

Seconded by Alderman Ranger:

That as recommended in a report from the City Administrator, September
19th, 1975, the purchase price of $36,000.00 for property located at
1065 Lynwood Avenue be accepted, and that funds be provided from the

City's Tax Sale Land Account for acquisition thereof. Defeated.
Aldermen Laking, Mabbett & Traboulay voted against the reselution.

Prior to defeat of the foregoing resolution, a discussion ensued
and Alderman Mabbett advised that at a recent meeting of the Recreational
Council the purchase of this piece of property was not favoured.
Alderman Ranger commented he saw the acquisition as a future access for
the North side of the Nature area and that he thought it was very important
to purchase the property at the price agreed on. Alderman Laking stated
he felt that aithough the property is a good buy, the money should be
used for Industrial development and Alderman Traboulay expressed the
view that the City should be picking up land in the downtown area for
parking purposes. Mayor Campbell pointed out that the City would probably
have to pay top price for most of the land in the Industrial area and
Alderman Ranger commented that a considerable amount of the land in the
Industrial area is presently zoned Agricultural and lacks servicing.
