Council approves sale of vacant city lot to neighbor for $2,200
Summary
Council voted to accept a $2,200 offer from Mark Crane to purchase an adjacent vacant city lot on the 900 block of South 4th Street; staff said the lot had been marketed without buyer interest and Crane has maintained the property for years.
City staff presented an offer to sell a vacant city lot adjacent to Mark Crane’s property for $2,200. The staff presenter explained Crane had cared for the lot for more than a decade, recently cleared trees after a storm, and did not propose major development other than landscaping and adding it to his existing parcel.
Council members discussed the city’s policy on selling property and whether prior notification or competitive bids were required; staff said negotiations with Crane began before the policy was adopted and the lot had been shown to multiple potential buyers with no interest. On a roll call vote the council approved the sale and recorded ‘‘Motion carried.’’
