Committee member urges approval of full buyout option for eligible properties
Summary
A committee member urged approval of a full property-buyout option for properties listed in the original agreement and added sections (including Volleys branch properties), emphasizing the program is voluntary for property owners.
A committee member proposed approving a full-buyout option for properties currently eligible under the buyout agreement, noting the original agreement lists properties and that the city has since added sections including the Volleys branch properties. "Give a 3 to the in full buyout," the committee member said, framing the suggestion as an approval recommendation for the council to consider.
The committee member emphasized the voluntary nature of the program: "Now this is a voluntary program. You do not have to take the buyout, but if your property or a property is listed on this sheet of paper, you are [eligible]." Clerk/other staff clarified that title and certain financial processes are handled separately and that the city often holds acquired properties under conditions set by other entities. No formal motion or recorded vote was captured in the transcript during the snippet provided.
