Mount Clemens approves sale of vacant parcel to Manchester Mount Clemens LLC; administration referenced a differing bid amount
Summary
The commission authorized the sale of a vacant, landlocked parcel to Manchester Mount Clemens LLC and authorized city officials to sign closing documents; city administration reported it had received 'one bid ... for the amount of $110,000' though the motion identified $10,000, a discrepancy noted in discussion.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to authorize the sale of a vacant, landlocked parcel to Manchester Mount Clemens LLC and to authorize city officials to execute the sale documents.
The motion read into the record authorized the sale of “parcel number 05-11 d11 488-0007 to Manchester Mount Clemens LLC for the amount of $10,000” and asked the City Attorney to prepare sale documents. In his briefing, City Manager Mr. Shipman said the administration had issued a request for proposals, received one bid “from the owner of the Victory Inn property for the amount of $110,000,” and recommended the city accept that bid and prepare the appropriate documents.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the parcel, the bid process and redevelopment plans. The commission approved the sale by roll call vote; the vote was recorded in favor by all members present.
The record as read to the commission includes both the motion language stating $10,000 and the administration’s oral statement that one bid was $110,000. The motion passed and the City Attorney was authorized to prepare sale documents; staff indicated they will proceed with the transaction paperwork and related redevelopment coordination.
The parcel was described in the meeting as a vacant, landlocked site north of the Victory Inn property and the purchaser intends to include the parcel in redevelopment plans. The motion did not identify a mover or second on the floor transcript; the vote was taken by roll call and recorded as approved.
