Beaman council approves conveyance of Wadeloup property to Butler‑Grundy County Development Alliance

The Beaman City Council approved a development agreement and passed Resolution 2025‑08 to convey a property on Wadeloup to the Butler‑Grundy County Development Alliance at its Sept. 10 regular meeting. The council voted 4‑0 with Council Members Brandon Schleisman, Jason Scafferi, Barry Brockman and Rhonda Rego voting aye; Deb Ashton was absent.

The council opened a public hearing on the item and recorded that it received no written correspondence and heard no oral comments before closing the hearing. The development agreement and the subsequent resolution were moved and seconded by council members and approved during the same meeting cycle under the agenda item listed as "Homes for Iowa." The record shows the motion to approve the development agreement carried unanimously; the resolution conveying the property passed on a 4‑0 vote.

Mayor Ann Smith introduced the hearing; the city clerk included the matter on the published agenda under the Homes for Iowa program. The council record contains inconsistent address references: the hearing notice text includes an address transcribed as "20S Wadaloup," while the resolution references "205 Wadeloup." The resolution and vote record in the minutes identify the property by its Wadeloup street name; the council did not clarify the discrepancy during the meeting.

No financial terms of the conveyance were included in the published minutes. The minutes list the Butler‑Grundy County Development Alliance as the intended recipient of the property and show the formal adoption of Resolution 2025‑08 as the council’s action to convey the property.

The council took the vote and moved on to other business; the minutes record no public opposition or conditions attached to the conveyance. The council did not announce next procedural steps for recording or implementation in the meeting minutes.
