Summary
The council unanimously passed multiple ordinances and resolutions including vacating a portion of 25th Street (Ordinance 26-1), conveyance and sale of city parcels to RWR LLC (Ordinance 26-2; Resolution 7715) and sale to Landmark Snacks LLC (Ordinance 26-3; Resolutions 7715–7716), and adopted Resolution 7713 concerning GCED fund disbursement.
The Beatrice City Council approved a series of ordinances and resolutions on property and economic development during its meeting.
Resolution 7713: The council passed Resolution 7713 authorizing an agreement with Gage County on the disbursement of remaining Gage County Economic Development (GCED) funds (the staff briefing referenced approximately $30,000). The resolution passed 7–0.
Ordinance 26-1: Council voted to vacate a plotted portion of 25th Street adjacent to Lots 12 and 3 and Outlot A in the Crest 1st addition; the city will retain the southern portion while proposing to sell the highlighted area to RWR LLC for use as a paved parking lot. The ordinance and related sale proposal met zoning and setback requirements and passed 7–0.
Ordinance 26-2 and Resolution 7715: The council approved conveyance of the red-box parcel to RWR LLC for a stated sale price of $9,000 to allow construction of a paved parking lot; the ordinance and the subsequent contract resolution were both approved 7–0.
Ordinance 26-3 and Resolutions 7715–7716: The council initiated the sale of roughly 24.01 acres in the industrial park (the Schwarzkopf ground) to Landmark Snacks LLC for $14,000 per acre (total cited as $336,140). An ordinance to convey the property and resolutions to execute the sales contract passed by unanimous votes; staff noted the standard 30-day remoteness period before final transfer.
Votes on these items were unanimous (7–0) according to the minutes. The council recorded brief staff presentations explaining that parcels meet zoning and stormwater requirements, that proceeds will be returned to the LB $8.40 fund (the current landowner account), and that sale proceeds and contract terms follow city policy.
Ending: The property conveyances and resolutions move forward subject to the usual administrative steps (30-day remoteness period for the Landmark Snacks sale and execution of contract documents).
