Council removes upset-bid item from agenda as contract talks remain confidential
Summary
Council discussed an upset-bid offer of $149,000 for 800 Palmer Ave. SE but staff said details remain confidential as contract discussions continue; council took a motion to remove the item from the open agenda and scheduled potential updates only when open-session information is available.
Council addressed the upset-bid matter for 800 Palmer Avenue Southeast, where staff reported a bid offer of $149,000. Several council members and citizens asked for updates on the status of the bid and the hearing that had previously been scheduled.
Town staff said ongoing contract negotiations are confidential and that some updates must be handled in closed session to preserve the town's attorney-client privilege. The council moved and voted to remove the item from the open agenda for that night; council agreed that if there is an open-session update to share at the next meeting, staff should present it, otherwise the item will be deferred again.
No public action or final disposition of the upset bid occurred at this meeting; some information was withheld pending closed-session consultation with the town attorney.
