Council approves sale of 2.5 acres to Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission for generator site
Summary
Marshall City Council passed a resolution authorizing Marshall Municipal Utilities to enter a purchase-and-sale agreement selling about 2.5 acres to the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission for $40,000, with a stated right of first refusal to repurchase.
The Marshall City Council voted to authorize Marshall Municipal Utilities to enter a real estate purchase-and-sale agreement with the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission (MJMEUC) to place generator units on city property.
City staff read a resolution authorizing the sale of roughly 2.5 acres; staff said the parcel will host generator units owned by MJMEUC. The council recorded a roll-call vote in favor of the resolution.
Tony (city staff) confirmed the sale terms described in the resolution. Councilmembers asked whether the city was selling land specifically to accommodate the generator units; staff confirmed that property would be transferred to permit the installation. The transcript records the sale price as $40,000 and indicates the agreement includes a right of first refusal allowing the city to repurchase the site under terms described in the sale agreement.
A roll-call was read by the city clerk and the vote was recorded as yes by the councilmembers present: Councilmember Green; Councilmember Patrick; Councilmember Gibson; Councilmember Thompson; Councilmember Allen; Councilmember Swisher; Councilmember Brent; and Councilmember Simmons. The presiding mayor called the measure passed.
The resolution authorizes the utilities board to finalize the purchase-and-sale paperwork and proceed with necessary steps for siting the units. Staff did not provide a timeline for installation during the meeting. Councilmembers did not include conditions beyond the right of first refusal mentioned in the staff remarks.
The council’s approval gives Marshall Municipal Utilities authority to execute the agreement with MJMEUC under the terms read into the record and approved by the council.
