Council advances first reading to sell 13 vacant city lots
Summary
On first reading, city staff proposed selling 13 vacant city-owned lots in two bidding tracks (development-plan and non-development), setting most minimum bids at $100 and one parcel at $10,000; proceeds would go to the property redevelopment fund.
City staff presented a first-reading ordinance to sell 13 vacant city-owned lots and return them to productive use under the property-tax rolls. "Staff recommends approval of an ordinance to sell 13 vacant city owned lots, returning them to productive use in the property tax rolls," Hansen told the council.
The proposed process offers development-plan bids, which require detailed plans and a two-year execution window, and non-development bids that include a five-year reversion agreement permitting the city to abate future nuisances. Minimum bids were set at $100 for most parcels; 2069 Windrush Drive carries a $10,000 minimum. Under the proposed timeline, bids will be open at the council meeting on June 1, 2026, and all proceeds would go into the property redevelopment fund. The item will return to the council in two weeks for further consideration.
