Council removes surplus-property leasing ordinance from tonight's agenda for further review

The Innocence City Council on July 1, 2025, voted to amend the meeting agenda by removing an ordinance that would declare certain city real property surplus and authorize leasing of that property so the ordinance could receive further review. At the start of the meeting a motion was made to amend the agenda "by removing the ordinance declaring surplus real property and authorizing leasing of the same for the purpose of further review." The motion was recorded as passed; the council then approved the agenda as amended by roll call. The transcript does not specify which parcel(s) of property would have been affected, the proposed lease terms, or the reasons for removing the item for additional review. City clerk Miss Bass confirmed there were no additional additions or deletions after the amendment and the council proceeded to approve the amended agenda. The action was procedural: the ordinance was removed from tonight's agenda and will need to be reintroduced or brought back for action at a future meeting if the council wishes to proceed with declaring property surplus or authorizing leases.
