Ammon council declares Target Park surplus, sets $345,000 minimum bid and June 30 auction deadline
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026‑011 to declare Target Park surplus, establish a $345,000 minimum bid, and direct staff to auction the property on PublicSurplus.com with a stipulation to preserve or relocate a memorial tree.
On May 21 the Ammon City Council approved Resolution 2026‑011 designating Target Park as surplus city property, establishing a minimum bid of $345,000 and directing staff to auction the parcel on PublicSurplus.com with a bid closing date of June 30, 2026.
City Administrator Micah Austin explained the appraisal and the steps required to place the property on a public auction platform. Council discussed how long the property should remain on auction and specified June 30, 2026 as the closing date. Mayor Brian Powell requested that the memorial tree on the Site be preserved in place or moved to a different city location; the resolution includes that stipulation.
Council Member Scott Wessel moved and Council Member Jeff Fullmer seconded the motion to approve Resolution 2026‑011 with the stipulated minimum bid and memorial‑tree condition. The roll‑call vote was: Wheeler, yes; Oswald, absent; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. The motion passed unanimously among members present.
Staff were directed to post the property on PublicSurplus.com and follow the city’s auction procedures; the resolution sets the minimum bid and closing date but does not specify subsequent development conditions beyond the memorial tree stipulation.
