Commission moves to accept buyer’s offer on 405 Neosho Street, subject to Dec. 1 public hearing; transcript shows conflicting price figures
Summary
The board voted to accept a purchase offer for county property at 405 Neosho Street and authorized the chairman to sign a purchase contract subject to a public hearing Dec. 1. The transcript contains inconsistent reported amounts ($1,167,500 and $167,500); the board approved the motion despite the discrepancy.
The Coffey County Commission voted in open session on Nov. 17 to accept a buyer’s offer for county property at 405 Neosho Street and authorized the chairman to sign the purchase contract, contingent on a public hearing scheduled for Dec. 1, 2025.
County staff and counsel briefed the board after multiple executive sessions held under attorney–client and other exceptions. During discussion, the sale price was reported at different points in the transcript: one exchange records an offer of $1,167,500; a later motion reads the amount as $167,500. The motion recorded in public session approved acceptance of the bid and authorized the chairman to sign the contract “subject to approval at the public hearing that is currently scheduled to occur on Monday, 12/01/2025, at 10 a.m.”
County counsel and staff indicated the motion included a contingency on the public hearing; commissioners said the public hearing will finalize terms and provide an opportunity for public comment. The board approved the motion by voice vote.
Because the transcript contains conflicting numeric entries for the offer amount, the county should confirm the final contract value in the posted agenda packet and at the Dec. 1 public hearing. The board’s action advances the sale process but leaves final approval and any public comment to the scheduled hearing.
