MSSU officials reconsidering plan to use Carthage building
The report from the Kansas City firm said the building had been well-maintained and “with some immediate repairs could no doubt operate as a hospital tomorrow.”
For MSSU to use the building, immediate repairs and long-term changes and renovations would be needed, the report said. The firm identified about $374,000 in immediate repairs plus other, longer-term “desired” projects.
Speck said it’s not the intent of MSSU officials “to be negative about the building or the agreement.”
“We’re willing to talk, but the real issue is we don’t have the economic resources to bring to the table if we don’t get the state money,” he said.
Speck said he did not know how the board’s re-evaluation would affect plans to move the crime lab, though he did note plans have been made for the lab’s space at the university.
Moving plans for the university and the crime lab were tied together, according to Capt. Steve Hinesly, who directs crime-lab operations for the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
He said $500,000 that had been allocated to prepare the former hospital space for the lab and to cover moving expenses had been in a state supplemental budget appropriation, but has since been removed.
Letter of intent
The Carthage City Council on Nov. 22, 2005, approved an ordinance authorizing a letter of intent to sell the former hospital to the university for $1. The letter outlining sale details was signed by then-Mayor Kenneth Johnson on that day, and by Julio Leon, then university president, on Jan. 26, 2006.
It specified that if a final sale agreement was not executed by Dec. 31, 2007, the letter would terminate unless it was mutually extended by the two parties. Though a sale contract was drafted, it was never approved, according to Lynn Campbell, city clerk.
