Council authorizes title work to prepare 66 South Main Street for possible sale
Summary
The council voted to authorize city staff to pursue title work and appraisal steps needed to prepare the current city hall at 66 South Main Street for sale or subdivision; council discussed zoning (B2 commercial) and options to split or sell buildings and parking.
Councilmembers on April 10 authorized city staff to begin title and appraisal work to prepare the current city hall at 66 South Main Street for sale or subdivision.
During discussion council members and the mayor described options including selling the whole property, dividing the parcel so each building has parking, or selling buildings while keeping public parking. The mayor said staff will order title work and hire an appraiser; the council discussed whether the site’s current B2 commercial zoning would affect permitted uses. "I would need a motion to...authorize the manager and the city staff to look into...title work...to prepare to sell it," a council member said, and the motion passed on recorded assent.
Council noted the property’s history as a former auto sales/repair site and discussed logistics such as potential parcel division, parking configuration, and whether a minimum-bid or open-bid strategy should be used. Staff will return with title and appraisal information, and council will consider zoning and sale terms before any final decision.
The motion authorizes preparatory work only; no sale contract, price or buyer was approved at the meeting.
