Council rejects motion to rescind sale of 510 South 6th Street after progress inspection
Summary
Council voted unanimously to oppose a resolution to rescind the sale of 510 South 6th Street after staff reported the buyer had met most sale conditions and the property is near completion; the rescission motion failed 0–5.
A resolution to rescind the sale of property at 510 South 6th Street failed after the Burlington City Council voted on May 4 to oppose rescission.
Staff told the council a progress inspection that morning found the property to be largely complete and in a condition suitable to deed title to the buyers; a few remaining housekeeping items were expected to be finished within about a month. That report prompted discussion and a vote on a resolution to rescind the sale.
Council members voted "no" on the rescission resolution (Scott, Weiss, Wilson, Phillips, Kryer), a unanimous negative vote on the rescission motion which staff and council characterized as a positive outcome for the buyers and the city. One council member asked staff to bring before the council before‑and‑after photos at a future meeting.
Because the council voted not to rescind the sale, staff indicated the property will proceed toward conveyance under the conditions previously set.
