The Clerk noted that arrival of Councilman Les Carter at this time . Discussion by the City Council included the costs of leasing the building, whether they even wanted to lease, the costs of the remodling necessary, and the fact that the City did not want to be in competition with the private sector, but again the City did not want the old City Hall Building to be empty. Councilwoman Mallea stated that the City should not be in the leasing business_ However, she would be willingly to consider this by making a counter offer by suggesting that the lessee nay for the remodeling, that there be a .first and last month payment in advance, the City will prepare the lease and assume Attorney's fees, but there will be no right to sublet except by approval of the City Council, and that they install a meter at their own expense so that the utilities would be paid on a basis of usage and not prorated on the basis of area.
