The board reviewed a letter from Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins during Friday’s meeting.
The letter was to Ben Butz, Bentz Salon and Spa, 117 Center St., Suite B, Warsaw.
The letter said in conjunction with the city renovating the former National City Bank building as the new city hall, the city will demolish the building at 117 Center St. to increase capacity of the parking lot.
The letter also stated in regard to the business’s retail lease agreement signed Oct. 1 with former landlord Jay Maish, Warsaw releases the business from fulfilling the term of the lease.
The business may terminate the lease and vacate the premises at which time they acquire a new location for their business.
Once Warsaw has determined that all rent and utility charges are paid in full and the premises have been vacated and surrendered without damage or destruction, the business’s security deposit of $700 will be returned to the business without interest.
The board also approved a $5,000 contract between the city and Scearce-Rudisel Architects for additional services for the demolition drawings for the single-story building at 117 Center St. to the west of the parking lot on the site of the proposed new city hall.
The additional services include design and construction drawings, specifications and bid process to demolish the single-story building, creating additional parking, reviewing site drainage, revising the parking lot lighting and layout, and creating a plaza design with landscaping and paving.
