The City Council adopted Municipal Order 022026 on a voice vote authorizing the purchase of a 9-acre parcel at 1117 Woodland Drive to house community service programs.
An unidentified speaker reading the order said the city "desires to assist community service programs in the city" and had "conditionally offered to purchase property at 1117 Woodland Drive." The order specifies the city would purchase 9 acres from "Capky, it's spelled C A P K Y, Properties, LLC in the amount of $1,500,000," and authorizes "the mayor or his designee" to sign all agreements, contracts, deeds, closing documents and to undertake a title report, zoning compliance check and a Phase I environmental review, according to the reading.
Council members recorded motions and seconds to read and then to adopt the order. After the second motion to adopt, the chair called the vote and the motion was carried; the transcript records the voice vote as 'Aye' and the chair announcing "Motion carries." The meeting adjourned shortly afterward.
The order frames the purchase as intended "for the potential location of community service programs," but the transcript does not specify which programs would move to the site, project timeline, funding sources beyond the purchase price, or the source of the funds for closing. Those details were not provided in the hearing record.
Next steps recorded in the order include obtaining a title report, confirming zoning compliance and completing a Phase I environmental review before closing. The order also authorizes the mayor or the mayor's designee to execute the necessary documents to finalize the acquisition.
Minutes record brief dialogue and procedural votes; no public comment or detailed debate on project specifics appears in the transcript. The council adjourned following the adoption of the municipal order.
