Summary

Staff and bond counsel advised the committee that a voter-authorized bond authorization for the old clinic property has lapsed; the committee recommended an ordinance repealing the original authorization to clear the title and allow future decisions about the property.

Finance staff told the committee that bonds previously authorized by voters for using the old clinic property were never issued, and that code provisions render authorizations void after ten years. Bond counsel provided an opinion recommending a formal repeal ordinance to remove any lingering authorization and allow the municipality to consider other uses for the property.

Committee members endorsed the repeal to clear uncertainty and moved to recommend the assembly approve the draft ordinance prepared by bond counsel. The draft ordinance (dated Jan. 13, 2026) was described as routine cleanup to ensure the municipality is not legally required to use the property for a previously specified purpose.

The committee recommended the draft ordinance to the assembly for formal repeal.
