CITY PROPERTY 232 East "D" St. City Manager Trevino reported from a memorandum from the General Services Supervisor with regard to the city owned house at 232 East "D" Street. Mr. Trevino stated the cost of moving the house is between $8,000 and $11,0000 and that there does not appear to be interest for the purchase of this house.
