It was brought out that the lending institution with which the Chamber had been negotiating Were unwilling to finance the con- struction of a building on the basis of the lease as it is presently written; that it would require a trust deed to the property to support the $47,000 loan so that the loan company would own the property free and clear should default occur. Mayor Turner proposed for discussion purposes that inasmuch as the Chamber is subsidized by the City to the extent of between $18,000 and $20,000 annually (based on the sales tax revenue received by the City) that the City advance the money from the Capital Projects Improvement Projects Fund. In this way the building would be City owned and leased back to the Chamber. Extensive discussion ensued with Chamber President Charles Harding participating. Councilman Balser observed that he was not in favor of the City entering the leasing or financing of buildings business and Councilman Reibold observed that other considerations enter the picture. Councilman Considine also commented that he would suggest looking into the possibility of loans for the construction of the buiLding based on the lease aLone as welL as the City advancing the money. The City Attorney advised of the constitutional prohibition against 'obligating revenues of future years and warned of the increasing" compulsion resulting from lease arrangements otherwise legal. 1 Inasmuch as an entirely new concept has been placed on the matter, it was the consensus of the City Council that 1) the staff investigate the possibility of the City advancing the money for construction of the building, 2) that the Chamber officials pursue other sources of financing and 3) that the City Attorney ascertain what can be worked out legally with the lending institution presently being considered by the Chamber of Commerce.
