DISCUSSION The President stated the matter of the trade of District's
PROPI~TY TRADE property across from the office on Del Rosa for Zoe Painter's
WITH ZOE PAINTER property north of the office and warehouse includiD~ the
Library building on Base Line plus $9,900.00 was open for
further discussion and decisions by the Directors as in-
structed at last meeting. It was felt that the District
should not have rental property nor expensive Base Line
frontage. It was also felt that as far as values are con-
cerned, it would be a good investment. Some felt the Base
Line frontage could be sold off at a good price. The net
square footage this would add would be small so that it
seemed the main consideration should be the land use planned.
MOTION Motion was made by Director LeVesque, that the District not
make the trade on the grounds that we do not have the money
at this time. The motion lost for lack of a second.
MOTION Upon motion by Director Brooks, duly seconded by Director
Wall, the trade would be made as a good investment. This
