Summary

Council denied offers to purchase two jointly owned Lamb Street parcels but approved selling 404 Whitten Avenue to an adjoining owner and to share proceeds with Vance County.

City Manager Edward T. Blackmon briefed council on offers for several tax-deeded parcels and recommended different actions depending on parcel and street configuration concerns. For two jointly owned lots at 904 and 912 Lamb Street (tax values $3,725 and $2,842), offers were $750 each; Blackmon recommended denying sale because the City may need the parcels for the street dogleg. Council voted to deny Resolution 20-34.

Separately, Blackmon reported an offer of $4,000 from an adjoining owner for 404 Whitten Avenue (assessed at $5,829). Staff recommended approval and council approved Resolution 20-26 to proceed and split proceeds pro rata with Vance County.

Both actions were recorded as formal resolutions in council minutes and passed by unanimous recorded voice votes.
