Executive Director Michael McCauley discussed that this resolution would authorize the acquisition
of the property at 1900 57 Avenue North, also known as the Acme Typewriter building. It is
recommended to accept the purchase offer and not incur costs associated with an eminent domain
taking since the evaluation is that a negotiated acquisition will cost less than what it would cost
trying to acquire the property by eminent domain.
