" -} '0 recessed meetit1g, august 12, 1965 page two "discot1tit1ue" would be preferable to "abrogate". A semantic discussion ensued, with various suggestions for rewordit1g the motion. Aldermat1 Damon asked what mait1tenat1ce of the Gary air faci lities would cost the City per year. The City Manager said he would have to revise the budget sent in with the origit1al appl icat- ion, sit1ce changes had been made it1 the t1umber of bui Idit1gs , etc. to be made avai lable. He had estimat- ed a budget of some $58,000 per year for the facilities on the origit1al applicatiot1, with a comparable it1come I to the City to offset the cost. He stated that at the time of the applicatiot1, he had signed commitments from persot1s at1d firms that had asked for use of some of the faci lities that would have offset the estimated cost. He repeated that the budget would have to be re-worked in accordance with the reduced area involved. Mr. Fuller enumerated some of the sources of it1come that could be expected from the facilities. Alderman Damot1 returned to the proper wording of the motiot1 before the Cout1ci I, saying that, it1 his opinion, the Cout1ci I simply wanted to rescind its previous actiot1. Rodgers Storey, recog- t1ized by the Mayor, said he felt that everyot1e it1 Sat1 Marcos wanted the City to acquire the $3,000,000 air faci lities at Gary, "the greatest asset San Marcos could have". He reminded the Cout1ci I that the City could not retain t~tle to the preset1t airport lat1d unless it is used to operate at1 airport. He said that a good profit could be made from the sale of gasolit1e at Gary Airport. He suggested that "postpot1e" be used it1 the wordit1g of the motiot1 before the Cout1ci I. After more discussion, Aldermat1 Pool made the following substi- tute mot i on: "I move that (I) the City Mat1ager be given I authority to negotiate for a use permit of the airport area at the former Gary AFB whi Ie the fit1al transactiot1 is being completed; at1d (2) the City Cout1ci I postpone indefinitely, at1d ut1ti I further t1otice, last Mot1day night's action with regard to the old Mut1icipal Airport on f 35 S." Alderman Froh, as seconder of the origit1al motion, accepted the substitute motiot1. 0t1 rol I call, the fol lowit1g vote was recorded: AYE: NAY: ABSTAINING: Damot1, Froh, Pool Not1e Whittet1berg The Mayor declared the motion carried.
