that he discussed his position on tl1i s with the Authority and he is taking the same position with Council.
As the offer for pun:lc'ISC is actually less than the City has in the pmpcny. this can be consuucd as a good
deal for the Housing Authority and a no< so good deal for lhc Cily depending on your vic,,poio~ which he

A RESOLUTION AUTilORIZING AN OPTION AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF THE CITY OF
ENGLEWOOD PROPF.RTIES LOCAllill AT 3400, 34IO, 3420, 3424 AND 3428 SOUTH SHERMAN
STREET TO THE ENGLEWOOD HOUSING AUTHORITY .
COUNCIL MEMBER H>. T!IAWA Y MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE
AGENDA ITEM 11 (a) (,·i) • RESOLUTION NO. 66.
Council Member Waggoner stated he has a co ncern about the City losing money on the propcny and he
wondered if there is anyway from the profits fr om the sales of the propcny that 1hc City can recoup some
of th e difference. maybe on a pcn:cntage split basis . City Manager Clark indicated they ha,-c discussed
this \\ith the Englewood Housing Authority Director Malinowski and they did not actually look al it from
the standpoint of doing some cost sha ring on any profits from the sale . He stntcd he can lallc to him about
that. Mr. Clark ad\iscd that when they dC\·clop the propert y they arc going to be looking at some outside
funding sources and he will be preparin g some grant applications . Mr. Clark stated Mr. Malina ,'Ski
ind ic::1 tcd thm in hi s rcsc.1 rch he will 5CC' if he can assist the City in recouping some of the origin.1I
acq uisition and demolition cost. but th en: arc no promises . City Manager Clnrk advised that the fact thal
the Cily h.,"\S on file an appraisal th..11 was done work ed aga inst us as far as se ll ing it for cost , He pointed
out th nt :11 lhe time that Cou ncil deci ded to buy th•ll propcn y ii was for a whole different purpose and they
were willing to pay a little bit of a prem ium on ii and then lhe origina l inlenl was that thal would stay in
the City 's ownersh ip and be used fo r pa rk ing. Since that lime we have identified that that is no longer a
need . He noted that when th ey did 1he apprais.,I over the summer month s Council gave approva l 10 go
ahead and sec if the propcnics could be marketed . The Ci ty has talked to the people at Craig Hospital as
far as usi ng this for disabled peopl e but th.1 1 is no longer a viable opti on . So the Housing Au thori1 y
