Summary

After reviewing multiple bids, the council voted to sell the Wolf Division surplus property as one parcel to the WBC Foundation for $60,000 to support the college's long-term presence; discussion covered possible extra costs for separating the parcels.

Council reviewed bids on surplus property commonly referred to as the Wolf Division. Staff summarized the top offers: single-site top bids (e.g., Greg Nyker at $30,000) and combined bids including a $60,000 offer from the WBC Foundation to buy both sites together. Council members discussed whether to sell the parcels together or separately; attorneys noted separate sales could add closing costs, although not necessarily materially.

After discussion, a motion was made and seconded to sell the combined sites to the WBC Foundation for $60,000 to support the college's stability in town. The council approved the motion by roll call. Council also noted the city retains the right to deny bids and select what it deems beneficial to the community.
