Council authorizes temporary ordinance to enable sale of surplus parcel for economic development
Summary
Claremore council approved a temporary ordinance to allow a short purchase-sale agreement for a surplus property (owner number 2025-15) pending an imminent announcement of an economic development partner; staff noted charter publication and a 30‑day effective period are required before sale.
City staff asked the Claremore City Council to authorize a temporary ordinance that would allow the city to enter a 45‑day purchase‑sale agreement for a surplus parcel identified as owner number 2025‑15. Staff said the sale is for an economic development venture and that the city has closed on the property and expects an announcement of the partner 'impending.'
Staff explained a provision in the city charter requires public notice and a temporary ordinance for surplus property sales above specified thresholds; staff said anything with value of $25,000 or more requires the procedure and subsequent publication within 10 days of the ordinance and a 30‑day effective period before the sale closes.
Council moved and seconded to approve the temporary ordinance and the motion carried on a roll‑call vote with council members recorded as voting in the affirmative. The item authorizes staff to enter a purchase‑sale agreement for approximately 45 days with the economic development partner and to proceed with the publication and required notice under the charter.
