Summary

At the June 1 meeting the city attorney read dozens of bids on surplus city-owned tracts (amounts ranged widely, with the largest in the transcript $2,750 for Tract 1); the mayor said administration will review bids and could return the item as soon as the next meeting if documentation is in order.

The city attorney read aloud the bids submitted on multiple surplus city-owned tracts and bidders during the June 1 meeting, listing bidder names and dollar totals for each tract. Bids included a $2,750 offer from Christopher Ahearn for Tract 1, two- to three-digit offers for many other tracts and an aggregate bid item stated as $1,200 for 'bid item a.'

Mayor Schwartzman thanked the bidders and asked administration when it would return with an analysis; a staff member said if the packets and documentation are in order, the administration could bring recommendations to the next meeting, otherwise it could take longer. The council took no final action on the bids at the meeting; staff will review them and report back.
