Junction City land bank approves multiple lot sales
Summary
At a short Junction City Land Bank meeting, members approved offers to sell several vacant lots — including three contiguous Deer Creek lots for $15,000 — by voice vote; other standard offers were approved with no recorded roll call.
The Junction City Land Bank voted to approve multiple offers to purchase vacant lots at a brief meeting, including a $15,000 bid for three contiguous Deer Creek lots and several other standard offers, the board recorded.
The decision to accept the first bid for the Deer Creek parcels came after the City manager explained that the first offer was for 15,000 for 3 contiguous lots and a later offer covered two of the three for 10,000. The City manager said, "the first offer was for 15,000 for 3 contiguous lots connected, and the next offer came in for 10,000 for 2 of the 3." The presiding officer and board members then moved and seconded a motion to accept the first offer; the motion passed by voice vote.
Board members subsequently approved a standard offer of 5,000 for Lot 1, Block 1, Deer Creek Addition; a developer offer of 17,500 for Lots 10–16, Block 10 in the Sutter Woods subdivision (noted at 2,500 per lot); and a 5,000 offer for Lots 27, Block 4, Deer Creek Addition, Unit 3. Each approval was moved, seconded, and adopted by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded.
The meeting record shows the land bank followed its past practice of taking the initial qualified bid when multiple offers were received for the same contiguous parcel. A board member noted that selling small, individual lots can be difficult and that accepting the contiguous offer "finishes out an area." The meeting was short; after the lot approvals members moved to adjourn.
