Trustees approve sale of 920 South H Street parcel to Godfreys for $871
Summary
Trustees approved selling a tax-sale-acquired parcel (referred to as 920 South H Street) to Buddy and Amanda Godfrey for $871 to cover assessments. Staff noted prior tax-sale price and special assessments and discussed lot constraints and utility needs.
Arkansas City trustees approved selling a city-owned parcel identified in the meeting as 920 South H Street to Buddy and Amanda Godfrey for $871, following staff discussion of the parcel's tax-sale history and special assessments.
Staff recounted that the city acquired the lot at a tax sale for $50 and that the parcel carries about $800 in special assessments. Staff and trustees discussed location details and whether the site is in a floodplain; staff said the parcel is not in a restricted floodway but that new construction in parts of the southern area may require elevating structures, and the neighborhood generally lacks sewer service so a septic system is likely.
A trustee moved to sell the parcel to the Godfreys for $871 and the board voted to approve the motion.
'I'll make a motion we sell the property to Buddy and Amanda Godfrey for the amount of $871, the for the 920 South H Street, property,' said a board member during the meeting.
City staff said standard enforcement of improvement timelines will apply under the contract and that staff will follow up with paperwork for closing the sale.
