Summary

The Public Works Committee recommended declaring 40 acres near the police department gun range surplus; Council approved the motion with Councilman Linden Fravel recorded as the lone nay vote.

Stephens City Council moved to declare roughly 40 acres adjacent to the police department gun range as surplus property after a recommendation from the Public Works Committee.

Public Works Chair Regina Swygert-Smith presented the committee recommendation and moved that the town proceed to declare the property surplus for possible disposition. The motion passed with Councilmembers Ronald Bowers, Joseph Hollis, Jason Nauman and Regina Swygert-Smith voting aye; Councilman Linden A. Fravel Jr. recorded a nay vote. Councilwoman Kelly Thatcher was absent.

The minutes do not record an immediate plan for sale or reuse; declaring property surplus starts the administrative process the town uses before any conveyance or sale, including any required appraisals or public-notice steps.

Council did not vote on a specific disposition at the July 3 meeting; further steps will be handled by staff and the Public Works Committee.
