J 'J r I, ~~~U - r, Deputy City Attorney, Debra Daniels and Ann Harris confirmed that Shann Brassfield of Golden Resorts Inc. is the only interested holder in the property. Through his attorney, Jim Morgan, he will give the city consent to proceed with the demolition on the understanding a lien will be placed on the property for the cost of the demolition. Aug 17, 1996 Called for bids. Four bids received. All four bids required a disclaimer and would not be responsible for asbestos Initial bids for demolition of the Budget Motel were in the region of $337,000.

June 1997 A second asbestos study by Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. was commissioned. This study ,which took samples from each room and every area of the building, determined that the asbestos element was significantly less than first reported. July 17,1997 A bid was sought based on this asbestos report. Action Environmental to do complete asbestos removal and demolition. The demolition bid is made up of the following components. Removal ofasbestos $96,793.00 Demolition $57,050.00 All demolition costs will be eventually. against the property, enabling the City to recoup its costs Based on the history of this property and the blight and unsafe condition as well as the concerns of the neighboring businesses staff recommends approval of the motion.
