The Springfield Economic Development Agency voted unanimously to authorize the city manager to execute a purchase-and-sale agreement for a downtown parcel at 138 Main Street.
Staff summarized the proposed sale terms: an as-is cash offer of $630,000, earnest money by check, 15 days for due diligence and three weeks to close. The presenter told the board that escrow fees would be split between parties, broker fees would be paid by the seller, and the buyer did not intend to request additional financial incentives from SITA beyond the SDC program. Staff said two addenda will update dates and include statement-of-purpose language to satisfy the downtown urban renewal plan.
A board member moved to authorize the city manager to execute the agreement, including the statement-of-purpose addendum and terms described by staff; the motion was seconded and the clerk called the roll. Board members recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed unanimously.
The board did not hold a public hearing on the item; staff clarified the item was new business after it was inadvertently called as a public hearing. The authorization directs staff to proceed with the purchase-and-sale agreement under the terms presented; no additional policy decisions or incentive commitments were recorded at the meeting.
