Councilmember Brandes stated he would not like to see City funds spent on this project before other projects of higher priority. He advised that other organizations have had problems trying to raise adequate funds and he would like to see a definite commitment of funds that have already been pledged to this project. He would also like to see cost estimates regarding moving of the house and securing it, as well as total restoration figures. Councilmember Mohr stated she would not be opposed to spending City money on the project as it will provide a much-needed facility for use by the com- munity. She stated the non-profit corporation could be the recipient of the Mohr house and would be in charge of the restoration, and that later the house could be deeded over to the City. Mrs. Donna McMillion, representing the Mohr Restoration Non-Profit Cor- poration, stated she felt strongly the house should be preserved. She re- viewed the formation of the non-profit corporation. She advised that there has been no commitments in writing but she felt this could be obtained. She stated the estimated budget for restoration of the house is $600,000, and that she had offers of commitments totalling $300,000.
