Summary

After an executive session, the council voted to prepare to receive bids on roughly 10,200 sq ft at parcel 40.06.027B and directed staff to proceed on downtown retail space under state statutes cited during the session.

Following an executive session on legal advice and real-property negotiations, the Clarkdale Town Council on Jan. 13 authorized staff to solicit bids on an approximately 10,200-square-foot portion of parcel number 40.06.027B (Bernat’s Trail warehouse) and directed staff to proceed on a downtown retail-space item.

Council moved into executive session citing ARS section 38-431-3(A)(3) for legal advice and 38-431-3(A)(7) to consult with designated representatives concerning negotiations for the purchase, sale or lease of real property. When the council returned to open session at 7:18 p.m., Council member Jones moved to prepare to receive bids pursuant to what the motion labeled "Arizona Statute 9.402," describing approximately 10,200 square feet of parcel 40.06.027B for bidding; Council member O’Neal seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Council also directed staff to proceed as directed on the downtown retail-space item; the meeting record shows the item is to "proceed as directed" but does not specify bidding timelines, minimum acceptable terms, or an award date. Staff will bring back implementation details in a future agenda item.

The vote was procedural direction to proceed with solicitations and negotiations; no sale, lease or award was made during the meeting. Council did not discuss price, appraisals or third-party offers on the record.
