PARKS & PUBLIC LANDS
Discussion of the Armory Land Trade
Councilman Manning referred to a memo from the City Attorney regarding the Armory
Property on Montana Street. The State is trying to trade that property and found the
deed requires the property be returned to the City when no longer being used for the
purpose of an Armory.
441
Don Weibe, Real Estate Agent from Montana West Realty, stated he was the agent working
on this property and would be happy to answer any questions he could. He told
Councilman Ruiz the State would like to trade the present property for a 19 acre tract
of land north of town.
Councilman Manning said the Parks Committee has not had an opportunity to research
this. City Attorney Neier says he has not had time to research the minutes dealing
with the original granting of the land to the Armory.
' Weibe said the property would probably be used for commercial use.
Councilman Ruiz objected to giving away public land to private enterprise and preferred
it be the City's to sell. He felt the situation needs more research.
Weibe asked if the State could meet with the City and answer the City's questions.
Councilman Manning agreed to schedule a Parks Committee meeting to discuss this with
Weibe and the appropriate State officials.

Councilman Palmer moved the Finance Committee be given authority to approve Claims and
the City be given authority to pay bills in light of the Council not holding the
regular meeting on the third Monday of this month. Councilman Nystul seconded and the
motion carried.
