The motion failed due to the fact that the City Charter requires four favorable votes for passage of any motion. The Mayor introduced for consideration a proposal to abandon Roberts Street. The City Manager explained that the White Rock Motor Hotel building encroaches on Roberts Street. He asked the Council to consider abandonment of the street by selling it to adjacent property owners for the fair market value so as to save the City the expense of improving the street, save trees in the I area, and allow both businesses more parking area. Mr. Harry Aiken, attorney for Mrs. Ileene Garrison who is the owner of the White Rock building, carne before the Council to say that his client wished to purchase only the property on which the building encroaches or to enter into an agreement with the City to allow the present structure to remain on the property. Mr. Cavazos stated his objection to closing the street since some residents in the area use the street. Mr. Hyatt moved to sell the property on which the building was constructed and that portion between the building and I.H. 35 access road right-of-way for the appraised value figure of $1.75 per square foot. Mr. Cavazos seconded the motion. The City Manager reported that the Cole family, owners of property on the other side of the street and the back portion of both sides of the street, had the understanding that the street would be approved. The motion was unanimously approved. The Mayor introduced for consideration authorization to bid the sale of property located adjacent to the Springlake Pump Station near Ed J.L. Green Drive. Council was reminded that they had asked for the City Attorney to give an opinion on the legality of placing conditions on the sale of the property.
