Sedro-Woolley council approves sale of 827 John Liner for $464,000

The Sedro-Woolley City Council voted at a May special meeting to accept a counteroffer of $464,000 for the sale of 827 John Liner and authorized the mayor to sign an addendum finalizing the transaction.

City engineer Peter Lane introduced the item and turned the discussion to city staff member Dan, who told the council a negotiated verbal price had been reached and that the final contract would include an addendum following inspection. "We have before you a motion to accept the counter offer for sale of the 827 John Liner um at the total price of 464,000," Dan said, adding that the seller contributions would be revised to $12,000 rather than the previously discussed $15,000.

The price and the reduced seller contribution were presented as part of a time-sensitive negotiation that prompted the special meeting. Council Member Nick Labaca moved to accept the sale agreement; Council Member Nora Peterson seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript records a collective "I" from those present and does not include an individual roll-call tally.

The motion authorizes the mayor to sign an addendum to the original contract to reflect the agreed terms and to finalize the sale after the required inspection. The transcript does not specify the buyer, closing date or other contract contingencies beyond the inspection and the change in seller contribution amount.

The meeting adjourned immediately after the vote. No further public comment or deliberation on the item was recorded in the transcript.
