City staff presented a first-reading ordinance to authorize the sale of three city‑owned parcels on Key Street to the neighboring church that made an unsolicited offer of $25,000.

"This ordinance here, starts the process for us to approve the sale of these parcels to the church for the offer price of $25,000," staff said during the staff report. The council held brief discussion; one councilmember announced he would vote no, saying he had been contacted by property owners in the Key Street and Spring Street area who expressed concerns but did not specify details in the meeting. Other members said the public hearing had already been held and the information staff provided was positive.

Council approved the first reading by caption and scheduled a second reading on Dec. 9; the ordinance would take effect in early January 2026 if adopted on second reading and closed thereafter as provided by the staff timeline.
