Council approves sale of 15-foot strip by Nineteenth Street water tower
Summary
Council approved awarding the bid for a 15-foot surplus parcel near the Nineteenth Street water tower to Lorraine Wasland after staff recommended acceptance of the lone bid.
The Watertown City Council approved a bid award Monday for the sale of a 15-foot strip of surplus property adjacent to the Nineteenth Street water tower.
City engineer Justin Peterson described the parcel as the southernmost 15 feet of the water tower property and said the city received one bid. "We received one bid, from Lorraine Wasland, for $68.10, and we recommend the award," Peterson said. Councilman Bueller moved to approve the bid award; Councilman Peters seconded the motion. A voice vote followed and the motion carried.
The agenda packet originally described the amount as “roughly $7,000,” a figure not echoed in the engineer’s presentation. The council approved the award after Peterson’s recommendation; the record at the meeting does not include further detailed discussion of the price or next steps for transfer processing.
The action was taken by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
