The Board of Sanitary Commissioners voted July 9 to reject all bids for the district-owned property at 610 Queen Street because the winning bidder failed to complete the purchase, and the board authorized re-advertising the property per legal counsel's guidance.

District Administrator Rick Conrad told the board the parcel at 610 Queen Street was purchased to provide staging for construction on CSO7 and was put up for sale after that work finished. "Last May, the sanitary district opened up, for public bids for a parking lot, the address is 610 Queen Street," Conrad said, and he reported that the winning bidder did not complete the purchase.

Conrad said legal counsel advised the district to reject the bids. The board moved to reject the bids and re-advertise; the motion passed on an affirmative vote with no recorded opposition. The transcript records the board president asking for a motion, a member moving the motion and a second; names for mover and seconder were not recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt.

The board did not at the meeting record further direction on listing price, a new schedule for re-advertising or next steps for the property; the transcript shows only the motion to reject bids and the board's approval.
