Council approves multiple land-sale resolutions; one member discloses conflict and abstains
Summary
The council approved three land-sale resolutions: a 1.2-acre direct sale to K & T Development LLC for $100,000, a ~2.6-acre direct sale to Via Nobila LLC for $930,000 (to be the Community Ambulance headquarters), and a notice to competitively sell ~2.93 acres with minimum bid $915,000; a council member disclosed a conflict of interest and abstained on items 26 and 27.
The Henderson City Council approved a set of land-sale resolutions during the meeting, including a direct sale of 1.2 acres to K & T Development LLC, a direct sale to Via Nobila LLC for a planned Community Ambulance headquarters, and a resolution to rescind and reissue notice for a competitive sale of a roughly 2.93-acre parcel.
Staff presented item 25 (direct sale of 1.2 acres at the southwest corner of Boulder Highway and Galleria) and said the negotiated reduced sales price is $100,000; if the council adopts the resolution, a future agenda item will present a purchase-and-sale agreement. The council voted to adopt the resolution.
For item 26 staff presented a proposed direct sale of approximately 2.6 acres to Via Nobila LLC for the appraised value of $930,000; staff indicated Via Nobila intends to construct and operate a new headquarters for Community Ambulance. Before the vote, a council member disclosed that their son-in-law and daughter work for Community Ambulance and said they would abstain from deliberation and voting on items 26 and 27. The council voted to adopt item 26 with the abstention recorded.
Item 27 would rescind two prior resolutions and provide notice to competitively sell a 2.93-acre parcel; staff said Via Nobila had been the prior high bidder but requested a new competitive bid for a larger parcel. Staff noted the minimum bid is appraised at $915,000 and that proceeds from the sale do not come to the city but go to BLM. The council adopted the resolution to proceed with the competitive sale notice; an abstention by the member who disclosed the family connection was recorded.
The council directed staff to return with purchase-and-sale documents or competitive-bid outcomes in later agenda items as appropriate.
