Cemetery MONUMENTS MARKERS Quality Monuments Inscriptions 1010 Center Marysville 562-3691 By Mike Wilson After opening bids on East Ridge apartments during a special meeting Monday night, the Marysville City Council recommended a committee be named to study them. Mayor B.K.
"Buck" Overman appointed Councilmen Lee Papes and Rich Landoll and Housing Authority members Bob Thompson and Harley Appel to the committee, which is to report to the council by Jan. 11. The committee has the authority to include local experts in fields such as banking and law. MetroPlains Development, St. Paul, was the apparent high bidder at $1,075,000.
MetroPlains announced in November it had received approval from the Farmers Home Administration for federal funding of a family housing complex of 24 apartments adjacent to East Ridge. The next highest bid, $850,000, was from a St. Louis developer, Kenneth M. Vitor, who said he would form a limited partnership in which he would be a general partner. The third bid, $325,000, was by Eastridge Commercial and Realty Company whose officers are Pam and John Schmidt, 1311 Elm.
It was expected that from four to eight bids would be received. The city has had East Ridge appraised, but hasn't released the figures. "That's quite a spread," Overman Nodding in agreement were councilmen and the small crowd that included Louis Edwards and Bill Lyhane, both of Marysville, and Housing Authority members. Councilmen wanted the committee established because they said i it wasn't possible to thoroughly study the bid proposals during the special meeting. Also, because the bids were re negotiated, it's likely the city will contact each bidder to discuss the bids in greater detail, said Councilman Bill Phillipi.
City Administrator Gerald Cooper advised having the bids reviewed by City Attorney Dave Anderson and Jonathan Small, the Topeka bond attorney the city has used to study East Ridge bonds. Last April Cooper told the council that the city had paid off $80,000 and still owed $740,000 on the bonds. He said the authority has enough money to pay off the bonds early. According to the May 31, 1991, audit, the most recent information available, the authority had $879,610, which was earning interest, in its Elderly Housing Bond Trust. The proposals detail how the bidders would operate East Ridge and what improvements would be made to the facilities in the future.
Cooper said financial information from each bid will be studied, but kept confidential. The council has retained the right to refuse all bids. Advocate classifieds said after the bids were opened.
