Council authorizes negotiations on two parcels after closed sessions
Summary
Following closed session discussions, Hibbing council authorized the city administrator to negotiate with a prospective purchaser for parcel 140-010600110 and approved a resolution allowing the Public Utilities Commission to negotiate purchase of parcel 141-0040-0060.
The Hibbing City Council on May 20 authorized staff to proceed with negotiations on two separate real‑property matters discussed in closed session.
Mr. Bartlett presented a motion directing the city administrator to negotiate with one of three prospective purchasers for parcel 140‑010600110 and to develop a concept development agreement; the motion instructs staff to bring final purchase terms back to the council for approval. The motion passed by voice vote.
Separately, Bartlett presented Resolution 26‑0508 authorizing the Public Utilities Commission to enter negotiations to purchase parcel 141‑0040‑0060 for utility use, with the contingency that final purchase price and terms return to the council for final consideration. The council approved the resolution on a voice vote.
Both actions follow the closed‑session discussions described at the start of the meeting; council members affirmed the approach that staff negotiate terms but must return to the council for final approval of purchase price and contract language.
