ONEONTA – In a 5-3 vote, Common Council this evening tabled the motion to release the city's $50,000 mortgage on the Bombers' Burrito Bar property for just $5,000 to the state Business Development Corp., citing hopes that a local buyer might help them negotiate a better price.
"There has been local interest," said Len Carson, Fifth Ward, who made the motion to table the vote. "It is in our best interest to hold our position and let negotiation happen between them, rather than settle."
