Ireton council counters offer on Lot 12, requires buyer to build
Summary
The Ireton City Council voted 5-0 to counter a $2,300 cash offer on city-owned Lot #12 with a $6,000 counteroffer that requires the buyer to construct a dwelling on the parcel.
The Ireton City Council voted unanimously on Nov. 18 to make a $6,000 counteroffer on city-owned Lot #12, requiring the purchaser to build on the property as a condition of sale.
Council member TenNapel moved the counteroffer and Eisma seconded; the motion passed 5-0. Gradert had reported an initial cash offer of $2,300 before the council agreed to seek a higher price coupled with the build condition.
The motion does not specify a timeline for construction or further enforcement mechanisms; council members did not record additional details about inspection or forfeiture conditions during the discussion. Councilor Gradert said he would collect more information on sale processes and related options for a future meeting.
The item was discussed during general business; next steps appear to be follow-up research and continued consideration at the next regular meeting.
