Duncan council deadlocks on $500 bid for Parcel 500-28-008
Summary
A 2-2 tie vote left a $500 bid for Parcel 500-28-008 unresolved; the council declined to accept the offer and invited the bidder to return with the same or a different amount.
The Duncan Common Council failed to accept a $500 bid for Parcel 500-28-008 after a 2-2 tie on Wednesday. Mayor Blake voted no, Vice Mayor Smith voted yes, Council Member Wearne voted no and Council Member Show voted yes; the tie meant the bid was not accepted and the bidder was invited to resubmit.
Council members reviewed a description of the bidder's plans, which indicated an intention to rebuild the property and make it a livable home rather than tear it down. The description noted exterior repairs such as fixing windows and doors and suggested the project could take years to complete.
Council did not adopt any alternative motions to instruct staff to negotiate or set a minimum bid; the record states only that the bid is "dead" and the bidder may return with the same or a different offer.
Next steps: The property remains unsold; staff may accept a future bid if the bidder returns with revised terms.
