[Vision2020] question 6 TRAIL FOUNDATION QUESTIONS

[keely emerinemix]

Our working price estimate on the FPC has been between $17 K  and $23 K, 
with the required third-party appraisal yet to be conducted.  We will then 
discuss purchase with the Trails, who have been quite reasonable at every 
turn.

Bottom line:  40 acres for the price of 10 with the fence price "rebated," 
as it were.   I am not aware of any other 40-acre (+ or -) sites available 
for sale at a buy 10, get 30 price.  It was a good idea in December when the 
offer was made and it's a good idea now.  Me?  I'm gonna go for it.

QUOTED FROM THE DAILY NEWS WEEKEND EDITION:

Dave Trail, manager of the Trail family lands, wouldn't comment on a price 
for the 10 acres the district must purchase. The Moscow School District 
facilities planning committee has been working with a price range between 
$23,000 to $25,000 per acre, but Trail wouldn't verify if the family would 
ask a price higher or lower from the district. State law requires the 
district have the land appraised.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Trail said.

Trail also said his family agreed to donate 20 percent of the money paid for 
the 10 acres back to the school district for construction of the required 
fence.

Well, Mr. Trail, I think that time is now to cross that bridge. What 
happenned to the $250,000.00 "sale" price of the 10 acres in order for the 
"gifted" land?

Keely - this is just plain wrong. I know you are on the FPC. What is going 
on? Now the Trails are going to increase the price of the ten acres so they 
can "donate" that money back to us so a security fence can be built? This is 
no gift!

Yes, this one question is directed to you. You are on the committee that can 
answer this.
