Council discusses county right-of-first-refusal tied to former jail; no formal action recorded
Summary
Council members revisited a prior right-of-first-refusal granted to the county for the former jail property and described having offered the site to the county before exploring redevelopment; no vote or formal waiver was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Council members discussed the city’s existing right-of-first-refusal agreement with the county on the former jail property and described recent outreach to the county about potential disposition. City staff told the council the county was offered the site first as required by the agreement and that staff and consultants prepared a conceptual assessment of redevelopment needs.
Staff recounted that after acquiring the property the city had completed an assessment and produced conceptual redevelopment plans that showed substantial infrastructure needs. Staff said they returned to the county to offer the property under the existing right-of-first-refusal terms before pursuing other disposal or redevelopment options.
The discussion described infrastructure costs and conceptual site sizes but did not record a formal vote to waive or change the county’s right of first refusal. No ordinance or resolution number was attached to the matter in the transcript and the council did not record a motion or final action on the agreement during the meeting.
Council members asked questions about final pay requests tied to related work and then moved on to other agenda items. The meeting record does not indicate whether the council later took a formal vote to waive the county’s right of first refusal or to dispose of the property off-cycle.
Because the transcript does not show a formal decision on the right-of-first-refusal agreement, no contract or disposition action is reported as adopted at this meeting.
