CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER INVOCATION ORDER OF PAGE BUSINESS REFERENCE BUSINESS 1 Recess open meeting EXECUTIVE SESSION 2 Convene executive session under the authority of Article 6252-17 of Vernon ' s Annotated Civil Statues Section 2 paragraph "f" real estate . 3 Reconvene open meeting . 4 ADJOURN October 19 , 1984 Mr . Stan Shively , President First State Bank P. 0. Box 160 Wylie , Texas 75098 Dear Mr. Shively : Please accept this letter as the city of Wylie ' s expression of interest for the possible purchase of the current First State Bank of Wylie ' s buildings and properties. I have duscussed this matter with members of the city council and the city would be interested in such an arrangement if a mutually agreeable price and terms can be established . The city of Wylie would require the entire properties . In order for the building to meet our needs , we would need to acquire the main bank building , the adjacent vacant lots , the drive—in building and the parking lot across the street . To acquire less would not justify our investment for it would fall short of our anticipated floor space requirements in the future . The city would like to tentatively offer to purchase the properties mentioned for the sum of five hundred thousand dollars ( $500,000.00) . The city would have no problem in working with your principals to establish an actual value 1 which may be in excess of this offered amount . In so doing , we would hope to increase whatever beneficial tax write-off by virtue of such a transaction . In addition , the city would be interested in discussing with you the possibility of acquiring the office furniture, fixtures and equipment that are currently in the building . We can certainly understand that if you are moving to a new facility you would want new furnishings . However , for our needs , many of the pieces you currently use would be usable for us . Therefore, please consider this concept as a portion of the financial possibilities . We would further prefer to have the financing of the $500, 000. 00 arranged on a lease purchase basis for a period of fifteen ( 15) years . There may be some good reason for us to approach the fifteen ( 15) year period with a term of three ( 3) years initially of interest only and then twelve ( 12) years of actual payoff . We would appreciate your calculations on both a straight fifteen ( 15) years and the three and twelve (3 & 12) so that we may compare the benefits of each. 2 Since the city has already made plans to look at other sites and begin construction within the next few months, we would appreciate a timely response . If we are to select a different site under different terms such as the old bank facility , we would want to make that decision final and binding by both parties as quickly as possible. The city would not be troubled by the actual occupancy of the building being as much as one year away. However , if we were to change our current plans , we would want to be assured that the bank site was a reality before discarding our other choices. It is our understanding that there are available significant incentives from a tax standpoint to your holding company for making such an arrangement as we have proposed . If by some means , we can make the transaction even more beneficial to your company without increasing our costs , then I believe you will find the city of Wylie most cooperative. We are please that you have extended to the city this unique opportunity. We trust that mutually agreed upon arrangements can be made so that such a proposal can become a reality . Will you please forward this proposal to your 3 principals and holding company and accept my committment to meet and discuss this matter further should the need arise . Gus H .
