City council authorizes city manager to buy two lots at Westlane and Wagner Court for up to $700,000
Summary
After an executive session on real property, the city council voted unanimously to let City Manager Ben Bergener complete the purchase of two lots at the southeast corner of Westlane and Wagner Court, with a spending cap of $700,000 including closing costs.
The city council voted unanimously to authorize City Manager Ben Bergener to purchase two lots at the southeast corner of Westlane and Wagner Court for no more than $700,000, including all closing costs. The authorization followed an executive session on a proposed real-property transaction.
Council President Miller moved the motion, saying the council should "authorize city manager Ben Bergener to complete the purchase of property on the southeast corner of Westlane and Wagner Court, lots one and two, and not to exceed $700,000, including all closing costs." The motion was read into the record exactly with the $700,000 cap specified.
The council called for those in favor to state "I." Members responded and no one voiced opposition; the presiding officer declared the motion carried unanimously. A council member said, "I'll second it," made a brief personal remark, and members exchanged quick expressions of appreciation for the work before adjourning.
The transcript records the council acted on the authority to complete the purchase but does not include a roll-call vote by name or specify which department will handle closing steps, funding source line-item, or timeline for the acquisition. Those details were not stated in the record and are therefore not specified.
