Altoona council tables one property sale, approves another and rejects bulk repository bids
Summary
Council members split a package of repository (tax-sale) bids May 11: they tabled the proposed sale of 806 6th Avenue, approved the $1,500 repository bid for 810 6th Avenue to Jonathan Wolf, and voted unanimously against approving a package of bids submitted by an out-of-state bidder recorded in the minutes as AllU FESO/AllUFASO Holdings.
The Altoona City Council on May 11 split a package of repository (tax-sale) bids and took three separate actions: the council voted to table consideration of 806 6th Avenue, approved the $1,500 repository bid for 810 6th Avenue to Jonathan Wolf, and rejected a bulk package of bids submitted in the record as AllU FESO / AllUFASO Holdings of Tucson, Arizona.
After the clerk read the list of properties and bid amounts, council members asked to pull item G (the repository sales) for separate consideration. Councilman Kelly moved to table the 806 6th Avenue portion of the sale; the motion was seconded and the council voted to table that parcel 7–0. Clerk Linda clarified that tabling was intended to delay action, not to deny the sale.
The council then voted 7–0 to accept a $1,500 repository bid for 810 6th Avenue to Jonathan Wolf and authorized the city manager to execute the taxing-district form. The clerk’s reading of the item also referenced Pyramid Healthcare Properties of Holidaysburg in the same portion of the record; the council approved the administrative authorization associated with the sale.
Finally, the council took a vote on the package of repository bids read earlier that were recorded under the bidder name AllU FESO / AllUFASO Holdings (the clerk read multiple addresses and amounts into the record). The council voted 0–7 against approving that package, and those bids did not pass as presented.
The mayor closed the business portion of the meeting after brief council remarks; no public commenters addressed these sales during the meeting.
