Council tables direct‑sale resolution after notice published only once; clerk to republish
Summary
The council voted to table Resolution 4, a direct‑sale of city property (listed in staff materials as 445 Ellicott), after staff confirmed the required notice of sale had been published only once rather than in three consecutive weeks as required.
Councilors moved to table Resolution 4 after staff and the city clerk confirmed the notice of sale for the subject property had been published only once instead of the three consecutive weeks required for direct‑sale notices.
A council member moved to table the resolution on the ground that the publication requirement had not been met; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Milam. The clerk recorded a roll call and the motion to table passed. After the vote the council directed the clerk to republish the notice and to republish the public hearing so the matter can return to an agenda once publication requirements have been met.
At the meeting the city attorney had emailed the clerk asking that the publication notice be posted so that the council could act at the October 21 agenda; staff confirmed the notice had only been published once. The council chair said the resolution would be readvertised for three consecutive weeks and the public hearing republished before the council would consider the sale.
No sale was approved at this meeting; the item is tabled pending proper publication.
