Council launches sale of 13 surplus city lots with $100 minimum bids
Summary
Council accepted staff's recommendation to advance an ordinance to sell 13 vacant city-owned lots through a bid process (minimum bid $100) to reduce maintenance costs and return parcels to the tax roll; staff will return with further details at the next meeting.
The council on April 7 agreed to advance an ordinance (first reading) authorizing the sale of 13 city-owned vacant lots by competitive bid with a minimum bid set at $100.
City Manager Eric Hanson said the policy aims to reduce city maintenance costs and return properties to the tax roll; bidders may submit proposals with or without development plans and proceeds will be used for future property redevelopment. Hanson noted local media coverage provided additional information and staff will come back with more details at the next meeting.
Council did not take final action; the item was introduced on first reading and will return to the agenda for further consideration and final approval as needed.
