Mayor Moore introduced a discussion regarding direction to negotiate with proponent in regard to the Old Christian Church. Mr. Gilley explained the City held an RFP process for lease of the Old Christian Church and Pastor Buntyn made an offer of $20,000 to purchase the property. He explained the purchase would be over a twenty year period with renovations being done to the Church; however, the RFP was for lease of the property which would eliminate the Abundant Life's proposal of purchase. Mayor Moore stated the Senior Citizens Group proposed a thirty year lease agreement, which was also not exactly what the RFP requested. Discussion ensued.
