Council approves $2 million purchase of 16 Alm Drive after public comment on transparency
Summary
The City Council approved Item K, a $2,000,000 purchase of property at 16 Alm Drive (Harrington Homestead addition) from Nir Gia Texas LLC; a public speaker representing Hope Spring Community urged transparency and requested the city consider rights of refusal for future sales.
The council voted to approve Item K, a real-estate purchase for $2,000,000 located at 16 Alm Drive in the Harrington Homestead addition.
Staff presented the item as part of the consent agenda; the item was pulled for comment. Lacey Nelson, representing Hope Spring Community, addressed the council and said her organization had been pursuing the property to develop wraparound family support services. Nelson said she and her organization had been surprised to learn the city submitted a competing offer and requested the council consider a right-of-first-refusal or other transparency measures if the city later divests the property.
Councilmember motion and second to approve the item carried 8-0. The meeting record shows the consent-agenda motion and the Item K approval both passed unanimously. No further conditions or amendments were recorded at the meeting.
