Council approves sale of park parcel to school district; two members recuse
Summary
On second reading the council adopted an ordinance authorizing sale of a parcel (described in the ordinance as Boi Park and Tiger Trail) to the Lovelin City School District. Two councilmembers recused and the measure passed 5–0; council framed the sale as preserving local school-campus options.
Council proceeded with a second reading and adoption of an ordinance authorizing the city manager to execute a real estate sale to the Lovelin City School District for property described during the reading as Boi Park and Tiger Trail. The ordinance was discussed briefly as a means to ensure the school district retains property within city limits for future campus needs.
During the roll call on the ordinance, Mr. Hart said, "I'm recusing due to my employment," and Mr. Janick said he was recusing because of "my relationship with the school board." With two recusals recorded, the ordinance was adopted by a recorded vote of five in favor and zero against.
Mayor Bailey and other councilmembers framed the sale as a partnership to keep school campuses inside city limits; staff noted the action is similar to prior conveyances intended to facilitate future school facilities planning. The ordinance text and final contract terms will be executed by the city manager as authorized by the adopted ordinance.
