Sedalia council adopts ordinance to sell Nottingham Drive property to Sparks family trust
Summary
At a May 20 special meeting, the Sedalia City Council passed Ordinance Bill 2025-94 authorizing a purchase agreement to sell property known as Nottingham Drive to the Nolan D. Sparks and Peggy L. Sparks Family Trust; the council also recessed into and returned from a closed-door session under state exemptions.
The Sedalia City Council on May 20 adopted Ordinance Bill 2025-94 authorizing a real estate purchase agreement to sell property commonly known as Nottingham Drive to the Nolan D. Sparks and Peggy L. Sparks Family Trust.
An unidentified staff member read the ordinance aloud to the council: “Bill number 2025-94. An ordinance authorizing a real estate purchase agreement for the sale of property commonly known as Nottingham Drive by and between the City of Sedalia, Missouri and the Nolan D Sparks and Peggy L Sparks Family Trust.”
The council approved the ordinance after a second reading and a final passage vote during the meeting. Roll-call votes recorded in the transcript show Foster, Franklin, Robinson, Boggess, Hiller and Cross recorded as voting “yes”; Scribner was recorded as absent. The meeting transcript also records the clerk stating, “You have 5 yes, 1 absent.” The ordinance was declared passed and the motion carried.
Earlier in the session the council voted to move into a closed-door meeting “upstairs” pursuant to subsections 1, 2, 3 and 12 of Section 610.021 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which the motion cited as the legal basis for the closed session. The council recessed to closed session and later reconvened its regular meeting before taking final action on the Nottingham Drive ordinance.
The meeting opened with approval of the May 5 meeting minutes and concluded with a motion to adjourn. The transcript does not specify the sale price, terms of the real estate purchase agreement, or any conditions attached to the sale, and no public comment on the item appears in the recorded excerpt.
The ordinance transfers authority to execute a purchase agreement for the Nottingham Drive property from the City of Sedalia to the specified family trust; contract execution details and subsequent implementation steps were not described in the portion of the transcript provided.
