Ruthven council asks attorney to outline steps to take ownership of Mad Butcher building after public plan
Summary
After a member of the public outlined a plan for the Mad Butcher building, the Ruthven City Council voted unanimously to have city staff consult Attorney Stein about legal steps the city would need to take to assume ownership.
Rae Lynn Sanculi, a member of the public, presented a plan for the Mad Butcher building during the Ruthven City Council meeting on Sept. 24.
Following the presentation, Council member Hailey Derrickson moved and Council member Morgan Miller seconded a motion directing city staff to consult with Attorney Stein about the steps required for the city to take ownership of the property. The council approved the motion on a 4-0 vote; Council members Mitch Anderson, Morgan Miller, Hailey Derrickson and Maya Cacek voted aye and Terrence Williams was recorded absent.
Mayor Dustin Johnson called the meeting to order and the discussion came during the regular agenda after routine consent items. The transcript records that the council’s action was limited to requesting legal guidance; no timeline, financing plan or final transfer action was set during the meeting.
City Clerk Jessica Schneider and city staff will be responsible for arranging the consultation with Attorney Stein and reporting back to the council. The motion did not include further direction such as an appraisal, demolition, purchase offer or funding source; those details were not specified in the record.
The council adjourned at 7:46 p.m.; staff were expected to return with information, but no date for a follow-up was specified in the meeting record.
