The Sparta village council approved a purchase agreement and quick‑claim deed for the property at 347 Evergreen, settling the purchase price at $345,000.

A council member moved to approve the agreement and authorize the village manager to complete the sale; another council member seconded the motion. One councilor said they would abstain from the vote; the motion passed on a voice vote. During discussion councilors referenced concerns about public perception and noted the ordinance and vote‑quorum requirements when an elected official has a potential perceived conflict.
The motion authorizes the village manager to finalize the transaction consistent with the purchase agreement and quick‑claim deed as presented to the council. Staff said owners Ally and her husband were unable to attend the meeting but had been part of negotiations; staff also indicated July as an anticipated closing month.
