The Beach Park Village Board approved ordinances and resolutions declaring several parcels of village‑owned land surplus and authorized their disposal and sale during its regular meeting.

Village staff described four parcels the village acquired in earlier years — some via demolition and some from the county’s tax‑delinquent “Green Book” process — and said each was publicly advertised for bid as required by state statute. For one Lewis Avenue property, staff said an appraisal came in at about $30,000 and the village received a single bid of $24,001 from a neighboring owner, Ryan Jones; state statute requires qualifying bids to be no less than 80% of the appraisal, and the bid met that threshold.

For another small parcel bisected by a tributary of Bull Creek, staff said the appraisal was roughly $800 and the adjacent owners Steve and Georgiana Hoenig submitted a bid equal to the appraisal. Staff described that lot as functionally not usable on its own because of the creek.

Board members said they were satisfied the parcels were long held by the village and that selling to adjacent owners would place maintenance responsibility with private owners. The board adopted ordinances to declare the parcels surplus and voted to approve the sale resolutions. The motions passed on roll calls.

Trustees and staff noted these were long‑standing properties the village had maintained after acquiring them following demolition or through county tax procedures. The board directed staff to complete sale paperwork and conveyance following the executed contracts.

The village packet listed the Lewis Avenue addresses as 38887 and 38891 Lewis Avenue; staff also read the sale amount of $24,001. The smaller parcel’s sale amount was $800. The village will record the deeds and proceed with conveyance under the sale contracts approved by the board.
