Metro had been exploring the pos sibility of purchasing the building for use as a permanent headquarters, but notified the building's owner, Pacific Development, Inc., of its intention to not proceed with the sale on March 25. In response, PDI has indicated an in tention to present a more affordable plan to Metro before April 30, 1991. The Metro task force determined that the purchase and renovation of the 59-year-old structure would cost $25.8 Ä I million, a figure which exceeds the agency’s original estimates. The Metro Council had agreed last October to begin a period of intense examination of costs and conslruction/lcasing alternatives, based on a purchase price of $5.15 mil lion. Metro had planned to initially use 55,000 square feet of the four-story 183,000-squarc-foot building for of fice space, to convert one floor to park ing and to lease the remainder. Metro currently leases 45,000 square feet at 2000 SW First Ave. in Portland. The Relocation Task Force will continue to explore other options for a new headquarters site for Metro. 17 & 2 4/ OSU Offering Special Course On M inority Issues Spring Term Oregon State D iversity (OSU) is offering a special course on minority issues spring term that will be taught by two members of OSU’s Board of Visi tors for Minority Affairs.
