struction cost of $169,167.64, with the City entering into an agreement with the
PFC entitling the City to have full possession of the Emergency Operating Center

property upon retirement of the bonds. Mr. Thyden further informed Council of
the possibility of the PFC reimbursing the expense to the City by reducing the
City's rent in an equal amount of the loss.
The City Administrator then presented other alternatives for council's consider-
ation, such as reimbursement by the City of $84,583.62 to the Federal Government,
or a request by the City to the Federal Government to have the debt forgiven on
a "good faith" platform.
A motion was made by Pattinson, second Coen, that the City reimburse the Public
Facilities Corporation $169,167.64, being the entire cost of the Emergency
Operations Center, thus, upon acknowledgement by the Federal Government, freeing
the Federal funds of $84,583.82 to the City. Motion carried by the following roll
