Council discusses old library status after purchase offer; will pursue talks
Summary
Council discussed the future of the old library property after letters urging retention and a purchase offer from Joshua Fanning, Ben Fanning and Andrea Visker (Harvest Foods); Council agreed to pursue talks but made no decision and noted potential annexation questions.
The council discussed the status of the old library property during the Mayor’s report. Two public letters recommended the City keep the old library property; the minutes record an offer to purchase from Joshua Fanning, Ben Fanning and Andrea Visker of Harvest Foods.
Councilmember Josh Fanning did not participate in the discussion due to a potential family conflict. He indicated the prospective buyers would move forward quickly if an agreement were reached and asked whether annexation of other property would be possible if an alternate site were acquired; Mayor Michael Christensen said the City would seriously consider annexation for that purpose. Councilmembers agreed to pursue talks with the interested parties but made no formal decision at the meeting.
