Henderson officials vote down $75,000 purchase of 1322 Home Street
Summary
Henderson city officials rejected Municipal Order No. 16-26, a proposal to buy 1322 Home Street for $75,000; a commissioner said the price was "a bit high," and the motion failed on a 0-4 roll-call vote.
Henderson city officials voted against a proposal to buy a house at 1322 Home Street for $75,000, rejecting Municipal Order No. 16-26 and leaving the proposed purchase unapproved.
The clerk read Municipal Order No. 16-26, which would have authorized the city to purchase the property (parcel ID stated as 2-18-8-1) and to authorize the mayor to execute the documents necessary to complete the transaction. A motion to approve the order was made and seconded, and the body opened the floor for comment before a roll-call vote.
A commissioner (identified in the record as Speaker 1) asked to place a comment on the record: "After reconsidering the number, I feel like it's a bit high, and so would love to have the property, but not at that amount personally." No alternative purchase price or appraisal figure was recorded in the transcript.
The clerk then conducted a roll-call vote. Commissioners Hargis, Pruitt and Witt and Mayor Staton each recorded a "Nay," and the motion to approve Municipal Order No. 16-26 failed on a 0-4 vote. The transcript did not specify who made the original motion or who seconded it by name.
With the order defeated, the presiding officer said business was concluded and called for a motion to adjourn.
Details recorded in the meeting record: Municipal Order No. 16-26; proposed purchase price $75,000; property address 1322 Home Street; parcel ID given in the record as 2-18-8-1. The transcript did not specify the meeting date, nor did it record any supporting appraisal or staff recommendation text for the proposed purchase.
