The Public Works Committee had been considering whether to authorize the lawsuit – if necessary – in efforts to acquire the American Inn Motel at 1824 East Main.
Alderman Rickey Williams Jr. was one of those who voted against authorizing the legal action….
Community Development Director David Schnelle explained why the city wants the property….
Schnelle said a meeting had been set for Friday with the property owner. He told members of the committee that the court action would only be taken if necessary. But the committee voted to delay action on authorizing the legal action.
