Council pulls Hardy Building sale from consent agenda, directs public auction resolution
Summary
The Mesquite technical review meeting voted to remove agenda item 5.2 (Hardy Building) from the consent agenda and add a resolution to offer it as a public auction, after staff reported new outside interest.
Councilwoman Gallo moved to pull agenda item 5.2, the Hardy Building sale, from the consent agenda and to add a resolution to offer the property as a public auction. Councilwoman Fielding seconded the motion. The council approved the motion and the item was removed from the consent agenda for later action.
The item was removed after staff member Martine told the council there had been additional interest in the Hardy Building beyond the single offer on file. "I would like to pull 5.2 at this point," Martine said, and recommended adding a resolution to authorize a public auction.
"I'll make a motion to, to pull this item, the 5.2," Councilwoman Gallo said. Fielding added, "and add the resolution for a public auction." The chair called for a vote and the motion carried; the item will return to a future meeting as a public auction item.
No vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript. The council did not debate the merits of the auction at length at this meeting and did not adopt additional terms or price guidance on the record. The motion and the subsequent action were limited to removing the item from the consent agenda and directing staff to prepare a public-auction resolution for future consideration.
City staff did not provide a timeline for the auction or additional terms during the technical review meeting. Officials indicated the item will return for formal action after staff prepares the auction materials.
