LaSalle council authorizes process to sell city interest in property recorded as '15 74th Street'
Summary
Council authorized staff to begin the process—likely an auction—to place the city's interest in a small parcel recorded in the minutes as '15 74th Street' up for sale after members described it as joined to a neighboring residence and not serving city needs.
The LaSalle City Council authorized staff to begin the process to place the city's interest in a property described in the record as "15 74th Street, LaSalle, Illinois" up for sale, with an alderman noting the parcel is small, joined to an adjacent residence and not providing municipal value.
An alderman moved to authorize the sale process and a second moved the motion; the council approved the motion by roll call. During discussion, council members characterized the parcel as a cleanup item and said a sale by auction was the likely path forward. The council directed Community Development and the city attorney to prepare necessary steps and report back before any final conveyance.
The record uses the address text "15 74th Street" (the transcript's formatting appears garbled); the council did not provide a tax parcel number or a full legal description during the meeting, and staff was directed to return with the formal sale documents. The motion authorizes the process to begin but does not itself transfer title.
Council members voted aye on the authorization; no dissenting votes were recorded. The matter will return to the council with sale documents and the recommended disposition method for approval.
