Summary
At a Dec. 2 special meeting the Selma City Council voted unanimously to add a closed-session item to consider a potential sale of a 5.03‑acre vacant parcel at McCall and Nelson Boulevard (APN 35808079). City Manager Jason Rogers was named as the negotiator; discussion will focus on price and terms.
At a special meeting on Dec. 2, the Selma City Council voted to add a closed‑session item to consider a prospective sale of a 5.03‑acre vacant parcel at McCall and Nelson Boulevard, identified in the record as APN 35808079.
The City Attorney told the council that a broker had contacted the city about a potential sale after the agenda was posted and asked permission to respond to that inquiry. "After this agenda was posted ... we received an inquiry from our broker on the prospective sale of the property at McCall and Nelson Boulevard," the City Attorney said, proposing "adding to the agenda a conference with Real Property Negotiator pursuant to government code section 54956.8." He identified City Manager Jason Rogers as the agency negotiator and said "under negotiation is price in terms of sale."
A council member moved to add the matter to the closed‑session agenda; the motion passed on a roll call vote with affirmative responses recorded for Council member Avalos, Mayor Pro Tem Guerra, Council member Oseguera, Council member Trujillo and Mayor Robertson, meeting the four‑fifths requirement the City Attorney said was necessary to add the item. The record does not identify who seconded the motion.
Following the vote, the council moved to oral communications, and the communications director reported no members of the public were seeking to speak. The council then recessed the open meeting and convened a closed session to discuss the newly added real‑property negotiation and a separate agenda item on pending litigation. The City Attorney said he would provide an oral report regarding the closed session.
The council did not discuss or disclose details of any offers, terms or purchasers in the public session. The action taken during the meeting was to approve adding the closed‑session item and to convene into closed session; any further direction, offers or agreements would be handled in closed session or a later public meeting if and when the council takes public action.
