Commission tentatively accepts offer for county property at 405 Neosho Street; public hearing set for Dec. 1
Summary
After executive sessions, the Coffey County Commission voted to accept a purchase offer for county property at 405 Neosho Street (staff reported $1,167,500) and authorized the chairman to sign the purchase contract contingent on a public hearing set for Dec. 1, 2025.
The Coffey County Commission discussed an offer and counteroffer for the county‑owned property located at 405 Neosho Street during a series of closed executive sessions and then moved in open session to accept the buyer’s offer subject to a public hearing.
County counsel and the listing agent (Trust Point representative) participated in closed sessions under attorney‑client exceptions to review negotiation strategy and terms. Staff reported an agreement in principle: a purchase price summarized in session as $1,167,500. The board moved to accept the bid and authorized the chairman to sign the purchase contract, contingent on the public hearing scheduled for Dec. 1, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The motion carried on a voice vote.
County staff said the public hearing is required before final approval and that the contract may proceed with due diligence work pending that hearing. Commissioners discussed including public‑hearing contingency language in the contract to ensure transparency and an opportunity for public comment before final sale.
