Council adopts Ordinance 24‑35 to buy one‑acre parcel for bridge area green space and parking
Summary
After a brief public hearing with no speakers, the City of York voted to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance 24‑35 to acquire a roughly one‑acre parcel on the west side of town for green space, parking and gathering space tied to a planned bridge.
The City of York Council on May 7 held a public hearing and adopted Ordinance 24‑35 to acquire a roughly one‑acre parcel on the city’s west side intended for green space, parking and a gathering area connected to a planned bridge project.
City staff described the purchase as a straightforward real‑estate acquisition at a purchase price discussed on the record of $67,000, approximately equal to assessed value and slightly below asking price. Staff said the parcel will be used for green space, parking and gathering areas that support the adjacent bridge project.
The mayor opened a public hearing and invited comment; no members of the public spoke at the microphone and the public hearing was closed. Council members then moved to suspend the rules and voted to pass Ordinance 24‑35. The motion to adopt carried on the record.
The mayor thanked the council and adjourned the meeting following the ordinance vote.
Ordinance 24‑35 now proceeds under the city’s normal process for property acquisition and implementation.
