Council hears first reading of ordinance to buy 2.6-acre site at 5721 Kennel Road
Summary
Council member Ziffel presented a first-reading ordinance seeking to purchase a 2.6-acre parcel at 5721 Kennel Road for public-safety uses, including a potential second fire station; staff said the seller agreed to hold the property and the council will consider emergency adoption on Aug. 20.
Council member Ziffel told the Aug. 6 work session that the city has prepared an ordinance, scheduled for first reading, to authorize purchase of a 2.6-acre parcel at 5721 Kennel Road for public-safety purposes.
Ziffel said the property is being considered for a future second fire station and described the ordinance as drafted to allow purchase by urgency. "This is 2.6 acres," he said, noting the second reading is scheduled for Aug. 20 and staff will seek emergency adoption. A council member asked whether the parcel is currently within city limits; staff said it is contiguous to the city but not currently inside, and council discussed bringing it into the city with public-institutional zoning to accommodate municipal use.
Council also discussed closing logistics and staff said the seller had agreed to hold the property until approvals were complete. Specific purchase price, ordinance number and exact closing dates were not recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
