No bids received for 470 N. Helen Street and Seventh Street parcels; neighbor interest noted
Summary
Staff reported no compliant bids for the listed surplus properties; one neighbor (Brenda Budro) expressed interest in buying part of a lot but staff said that proposal did not meet bidding requirements and recommended continuing to advertise.
Staff reported that statutory advertising requirements were met but the city received no bids for 470 North Helen Street or the Seventh Street parcels. City staff recommended continuing to advertise the properties and wait for conforming offers rather than accepting a partial sale outside the bidding process.
A nearby resident, identifying herself as Brenda Budro, said she would be willing to pay roughly $3,000 for a third of one lot to extend her backyard. Staff advised that an offer splitting a lot in that manner would not conform to the posted bid requirements; the mayor and staff said they will follow up with the resident in the mayor's office and consult Mr. Sammons on the legal details of any sale.
Separately, a resident asked the city to mow a vacant lot with tall grass; staff agreed to arrange mowing. No sale decisions were made and staff will continue advertising the parcels and accept conforming bids.
