Buhl council approves sale of small city parcel to resident for $2,250
Summary
The Buhl City Council approved Resolutions 25-23 and 25-24 to convey a newly created city parcel to resident Mike Anderson for $2,250 after staff apportioned city costs; both resolutions passed by unanimous roll call vote.
The Buhl City Council on July 8 approved two resolutions to sell and convey a newly created parcel of city-owned land to resident Mike Anderson for $2,250.
Councilors voted on Resolution 25-23 to convey the parcel to Anderson and on Resolution 25-24 to authorize the conveyance. The motions were made by Councilor Taunya Teska-Erickson and supported by Councilor Towner; the roll call vote recorded Kealy, Loeffler, Teska-Erickson, Towner and Mayor James Matthews voting aye on both measures.
City staff told the council that the city incurred $2,500 in costs to create and describe the new parcel and recommended splitting those costs on a percentage basis between the two adjoining parties: 90% to Mike Anderson and 10% to Gabriel LaBarge. On that basis, staff recommended a sale price of $2,250 to Anderson. The conveyance is contingent on Anderson fulfilling the purchase price and other applicable fees.
Why it matters: the action transfers a small parcel from public to private ownership after a previously directed process to create and describe the lot. The council’s approval completes the administrative steps needed to convey the property, subject to payment and recording.
Details and context: staff said the split was validated as consistent with the acreage each party would receive. The council recorded the motion and roll call votes in the minutes; no amendments to the recommended price were proposed during the discussion.
Next steps: staff will proceed with conveyance paperwork once the purchaser satisfies the purchase price and applicable fees.
