Council declares surplus equipment for auction and moves to closed session to discuss parcel sale
Summary
Council declared a list of city-owned items as excess and approved putting them up for auction this fall, then voted to enter a closed session to discuss a parcel sale related to the school-site triangle; council said it would retain specified PTC portions and utilities.
The Granite Falls City Council voted to declare a master list of city equipment as surplus and authorized staff to place those items up for public auction this fall.
Staff said some items had already been approved in prior actions but that the consolidated list will streamline fall auction planning. A councilmember moved to declare the items excess property and another seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
Later in the meeting the council moved into a closed session to discuss the sale of a parcel tied to the school-site triangle. The mayor/chair and staff clarified the council would not be selling the PTC portion above the track and that utility easements would be maintained. A motion to enter closed session was moved, seconded and approved; staff indicated they would give a short pause to prepare for the closed session.
Next steps: staff will post auction notices and proceed with the surplus auction this fall; the council will reconvene after the closed session with any public actions reported as required by law.
