Council hears community updates; RFP for vacant lots to appear in November

Paxton City Council · October 14, 2025

Summary

Council members reported on community events and outreach: Wine and Chocolate Walk ticket sales totaled receipts of $14,500 and the city plans to publish an RFP for vacant lots before the November meeting; the city also purchased 354 E Fulton at a sheriff’s auction.

Alderman Larson reported several community events: the Swine and Dine went ahead (final profit impact unknown) and the Wine and Chocolate Walk sold about 250 tickets with receipts of $14,500 according to returned receipts. Alderman Geiken provided the sales figure and cautioned that receipts may undercount total revenue.

Mayor Bill Ingold said the request for proposals for vacant lots must be published in the paper before properties are opened for bidding; he expected the RFP to be available at the November meeting. He also noted the city purchased 354 E Fulton at a sheriff's auction and that interested bidders had been told properties would not be open for bidding until November.
