Britt, Iowa — The Britt City Council voted July 2 to retain legal counsel to begin processes for selling a city tract and the golf course.
Council approved hiring Ahlers & Cooney to assist with the sale process for property described in the minutes as "Brown & Treganza Lot 1 & N 1/2 Lot 2 & N 1/2 Lot 4 Exc Tract Blk 3" and separately approved hiring the same firm to assist with the sale of the golf course. The motions carried unanimously.
The minutes also record that the golf course was appraised at $540,000. Councilors did not finalize sale terms at the meeting; rather, they authorized the city administrator and legal counsel to proceed with the sale process and follow established procedures for public notices and approvals.
The council's action begins a process that will include additional legal work and likely public notices or hearings as required by state law and local ordinance. The minutes do not specify an expected timeline for sale completion.
