Councilman Griset pointed out that, in any case, the owners of the property wanted to sell. Mr. Allen Goddard, representing the Cultural Heritage Evaluation Committee stated the Committee reluctantly concurred with the recommendation of the Director of Public Works, to proceed with the development of East Civic Center Drive, and that the City make the house available to any cultural or historical organiza- tion or group of interested citizens who may wish to undertake its preservation utilizing private funds. The City Manager pointed out that delays of the project were costly due to daily increases in construction costs.
