City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />July 28, 2015 <br />Page 12 of 28 <br />not abiding by the laws and disagreed with most of the points made about the sale of <br />the property. <br />Mayor Muckle called for public comment and hearing none, closed the public hearing. <br />City Attorney Light stated for the record, there is not any provision in Charter, the City's <br />Ordinances or the Purchasing Policy, which requires the City Council to dispose of <br />excess real estate solely for the purpose of a monetary consideration. The surplus <br />property provision of the Purchasing Policy has related definitions that exclude real <br />property. City Council could, if they chose, adopt such a policy; however the current <br />policy does not have a provision that real property be sold for the highest monetary <br />consideration offered. The City Charter requires any transfer of property be approved <br />by ordinance. The purchase contract recognizes this requirement and states closing <br />would not occur until the ordinance is approved. <br />COUNCIL COMMENT <br />Council member Lipton stated Council must represent the interests and values of their <br />constituents. This entails balancing the economic interests, the social interests, <br />preserving the small town character, and supporting small town businesses. He agreed <br />with Mayor Muckle this is a fair value. He felt the small town character is supportive of <br />the City's interest. He did not feel this was a business assistance project, nor a special <br />deal for this business. He was in favor of the sale. <br />MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Ordinance No.1698, Series 2015 on <br />second and final reading, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dalton. Roll call vote was taken <br />and the motion carried by a vote of 5 -1. Council member Stolzmann voted no. Absent: <br />Council member Keany. <br />GATEWAY ANNEXATION <br />1.
