Council approves high bid for old shop and related parcels, staff to return cashier's checks
Summary
Council reviewed six sealed bids for the old garage/shop properties and approved awarding the high bid (recorded in the transcript as Brian Grama, approx. $41,041) with cashier's check and surety; staff will handle follow-up and refunds to other bidders.
The council considered sealed bids for the old garage/shop property (207 North 1st Avenue and related parcels). Staff read six bids and confirmed each included cashier’s checks and signatures. The transcript records the high bid as submitted by Brian Grama for an amount announced as approximately $41,041.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the high bid; the council voted by roll call and carried the motion. Staff noted the high bidder had submitted the required surety and instructed staff to return cashier’s checks to unsuccessful bidders the following day.
Council members discussed appraisal values earlier in the meeting (the building appraisal was read as $185,000 and the old garage appraised at $35,000) when considering how bids compared to appraisals. The council approved the award and asked staff to process the closing and refund procedures.
The council’s approval finalizes the competitive bidding step; staff will proceed with closing steps and ensure funds and documentation are handled according to city procedures.
