Seaford council unanimously directs staff to negotiate sale of city-owned land

The Seaford City Council voted unanimously to authorize city staff to negotiate the sale of city-owned land discussed in a prior executive session. Vice Mayor Henderson moved the measure, which Councilman Bradley seconded; the chair announced the motion "passes unanimously."

"To negotiate the sale of lands per the contents of our discussion in an executive session," Vice Mayor Henderson said when making the motion, referencing the council's closed-door discussion as the basis for the authorization. Councilman Bradley voiced his second with the verbal "I second."

The motion directs city staff to begin negotiations on terms discussed during the executive session; the transcript and public remarks did not identify specific parcels, proposed prices, or a timetable for negotiation or sale. The council's public record contains no roll-call vote or individual vote tallies—only a voice vote and the chair's declaration that the motion passed unanimously.

Following the authorization, the council moved to adjourn. Councilman Grassett moved to adjourn at 9:18 p.m.; Councilman McQuillan seconded and the meeting was closed.

The public record provided in the transcript does not include additional detail about which parcels are involved, the identity of potential buyers, or a deadline for reporting back to the council. City officials did not state next steps or a projected timeline for when negotiated terms would be returned to the council for approval.
