The Jonesville City Council accepted a disclosure of conflict of interest by Councilmember Chris Grider on a proposed sale of city property at 148 Jermaine Street and scheduled a public hearing for Oct. 15, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
Councilmember Brenda Guyse moved to accept the disclosure and to set the hearing; the motion was seconded by Annette Sands and carried unanimously. The action followed language in Section 13.3 of the City Charter, which requires the council to hold a public hearing before selling any real property.
According to the minutes, the proposed sale price is $11,000 and the purchaser is identified as Red Beard Properties. The minutes record that Grider “advised Council he will provide reimbursement to the City for any legal fees attributed to this sale.” The minutes do not record further discussion about terms of sale, appraisal, or other interested bidders.
The public hearing will take place at the council’s regular meeting on Oct. 15, 2025 at 6:30 p.m., when the council is required to receive public comment before taking any final action on the disposition of public property.
The minutes do not list any supporting documents such as an appraisal or purchase agreement; the council did not vote on the sale at this meeting and no formal sale was approved.
