Clyde council adopts emergency ordinance to buy 521 Brown Street
Summary
Council adopted Emergency Ordinance 2025‑11 authorizing purchase of property at 521 Brown Street; the ordinance included an emergency clause and directed city manager and solicitor to complete transaction details.
Clyde City Council on Feb. 4 adopted Emergency Ordinance 2025‑11 authorizing the city to purchase real property described as 521 Brown Street (parcel numbers given in the ordinance) and declaring the measure an emergency so it would take effect immediately.
The ordinance as read states the city is authorized to enter into a purchase agreement with the property owner, identified in the ordinance as the Alfonso and Juanita Alcala Living Trust dated June 25, 2024. The ordinance directs the city manager and solicitor to negotiate terms, prepare documents, and handle related tasks; it also appropriates the purchase amount to be expended from the general fund.
Council procedurals and votes
Council voted to suspend the rule that normally prevents passage of an ordinance at the meeting where it is introduced and then voted to adopt the emergency ordinance. The motions to suspend the rules and to adopt the ordinance were moved and seconded; roll call votes recorded by the clerk showed approval and the ordinance was adopted with the emergency clause taking effect immediately.
Details in ordinance text
The ordinance text as read to the council included parcel identifiers and described the property as a 0.231‑acre parcel (with additional numeric references in the reading). The text indicated the property's purchase price and stated a portion of the price would be a charitable contribution from the property owner; the meeting recording contained numeric formatting that was unclear in places, so the ordinance document should be consulted for precise figures.
Ending
The council recorded the ordinance as adopted and assigned the number 2025‑11. The city manager and solicitor are authorized to finalize the purchase paperwork and related actions as described in the ordinance.
