Caro council authorizes exclusive negotiations with Allen Edwin Homes for Van Geisen property; residents seek more notice
Summary
Council authorized the City Manager to enter exclusive negotiations with Allen Edwin Homes for the Van Geisen property. Some residents, including Danielle Rolando, said the sale discussion lacked prior notice and asked whether the lot is platted.
The Caro City Council on April 6 authorized the City Manager to enter exclusive negotiations with Allen Edwin Homes for the sale of the Van Geisen property (motion 26-M-76).
During public comment, Robert Eschenbacher voiced support for the agenda item; Greg Bird of Allen Edwin Homes introduced himself to the council prior to the vote. After the motion passed, Danielle Rolando told the council she was disappointed with how the Van Geisen Property matter had been handled, saying the conversation about the sale should have been communicated to current residents and asking whether the property is platted. The minutes do not record a city response that clarified resident notice or the platting status.
The motion was moved by Jill White and seconded by John Riley and passed on roll-call with members present voting in favor (motion 26-M-76). The minutes record no sale price or timeline for closing; the council authorized only exclusive negotiations and not a final sale.
