the C tywould stand a better chance of having a 1200 seat auditorium.
Councilman Crinella stated that rather than have a small auditorium, he
would pr`eiter to give. the County the propirty'for the proposed site. He stated
h&,1did .not; wish, to prolong the project, and therefoYe would go along with the

CONSIDERATION, OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS cant.
Veterans.' Memorial m cont.
Mayor Schoeningh noted that this resolution merely declared the intention
of the Council to release by sale the property described in the -resolution. He.
stated that this was not. the final action on the matter as there would have to, be
a resolution turning over the deed to the County. As he understood the Mayor .
believed several members of the Council desired to have certain conditions
set forth in the resolution deeding, the property to the County. Mayor Schoeningh
then outlined the conditions which he personally felt should be included .in that'
resolution as folliaws o
'(1) The Fair Board would release the land from restriction so far
: as parking is concerned;
(2) Thei°e would be a proper relocation of the recreational facilities
to the satisfaction of the City; and,
(3) The site would be approved by the Sonoma County Planning 'Commission.
The resolution authorizing. the sale of the property to the County was.",the'n
adopted as follows;
Res-. 41844 N. C. S.
introduced by Councilman Gustafson, seconded by Councilman Adams, entitled, .
"RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE TO THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF SONOMA COUNTY OF :A PARCEL OF LAND

BUILDING. "
r .
adopted .by 7 affirmative votes
The Clerk was directed to -mail a copy of the foregoing resolution to `the_
Sonoma ..:County Board of Supervisors'
Discussion took place. regarding, appraisal of the Kenilworth Park site.=
Councilman King felt that the City should not be concerned' with 'the - rriatter' as
yet, because the County Planning Commission would first - have to approve the
site, etc No objection to this line of thought was expressed,
Co_ uncilman Bigelow stated that perhaps the City ;should ell the; Kenilworth .
Park site to the County for $1 00, and .require'the 1200 seat auditorium '=
The subject of exchanging the Kenilworth Park site for the Keller property; ..
or buying the Keller property, was again discussed and it was decided these the
Board of Supervisors should be consulted on this, and the matter taken up at the
next Council meeting.
Mr. Jess Da:bn.er.'addressed the - Council'stating that the Veterans, were
endeavoring to save money by' using the original. plans :for the auditorium if ,.:.
possible, In this way "th'ey hoped to have money to construct a 1200
