City Manager Mark Westhoff said representatives of the Mizzouk property requested a six-month lease extension to finish cleanout and mobilize to vacate the site; commissioners directed staff to negotiate terms, including cleanup and possible demolition, with a target extension through Dec. 31.
City Manager Mark Westhoff told the Atchison City Commission that representatives of the Mizzouk property have requested a six-month lease extension to complete cleanup and vacate the site. With direction from the commission, Westhoff said he will negotiate terms that may include cleanup responsibilities and possible demolition work.
Westhoff told commissioners the current lease is expiring in July and that the requested extension would run through Dec. 31. He asked for direction to negotiate terms; commissioners indicated agreement and did not require a formal vote.
Nut graf: The city will enter negotiations with the property representative to secure a short-term extension to complete site cleanup at the Mizzouk property; terms, including any demolition obligations, will be negotiated by staff and returned to the commission as needed.
Commission discussion focused on limiting the extension length. One commissioner asked for assurance the extension would not be a lengthy multi-year arrangement; Westhoff clarified the request was for six months ending Dec. 31. No formal motion or lease approval occurred at the meeting — staff were directed to negotiate details and return with proposed terms if necessary.
Ending: Staff will report back with negotiated terms or any requested approvals once negotiations are complete.
