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.

Councilman Manning agreed to schedule a Parks Committee meeting to discuss this with Weibe and the appropriate State officials.
