On motion of Councilman Whitson, seconded by Councilman Gordon and carried, • the letter addressed to Councilman J. S. Brown and his answer thereto, were ordered spread upon the Minutes. Attention Councilman Brown. Letter of In open meeting of last Council you were recorded as havin stated: Councilman "That it looks to me like someone is trying tb put over a 191700.00 deal ". ' As the above statement made by you is misleading and damaging to our purpose, Brown. we, the business men of Balboa, demand that you retract the aforesaid statement, in open meeting of the next regular Council. /s/ Robert L. Brown I have been asked to retract a certain statement attributed to me, and which I made in open meeting, concerning the proposed purchase of property Reply by by the City of Newport Beach, which property iw owned, as I am informed, Councilman by the Balboa Amusement Company. The statement which I made was not for the Brown. purpose of misleading anyone, nor could anyone be mislead thereby, and certainly I did not make the statement attributed to me for the purpose of damaging the businessmen of Balboa, as I have always given to the businessmen of Balboa, as well as the businessmen of the City of Newport Beach, a courteous and respectful hearing on all matters presented to me as a City Councilman. The deal concerning the Balboa Amusement Company property, as it was finally presented to the City Council, called for a consideration of $1700.00. The property, I believe, belonged to the Balboa Amusement Company, and certainly no one did any wrong by trying to sell the property for that amount. The consideration asked for the property in question was not, in my opinion, excessive, but was the usual and customary price which the City has given for similarly located property. The deal in question had been discussed with the City Council on a number of occasions, as well as with the City Attorney. It was definitely agreed on all of these occasions that the form of deed would have to be approved by the City Attorney and that said deed would have to be in the ' form requested by the City Council. The City Council refused to accept the form of deed offered by the owners of this property, and this refusal was based on the following grounds, namely: (a) That the deed included properties to which the Balboa Amusement Company could not give clear title: (b) That if the City failed to do certain work of improvement upon said property within a specified time, the title to said property would • revert to the original grantor; (c) That the deed as presented had not been approved as to form and contents by the City Attorney of the City of Newport Beach. The matters above enumbrated were definitely discussed with the City Council and also with the City Attorney. The party desiring to sell this property having presented a form of deed not acceptable to the City Attorney or the City Council, I felt that the same should be rejected, and so expressed myself. In conclusion, I wish to state that it was,not my intention to injure anyone, nor was anyone injured, in the making of the statement which was attributed to me, as my statement was intended to be and was a rejection of the offer made by the owners of the property to the City of Newport Beach.
