AGENDA ITEM: Purchase Agreement PID 13.029.21.32.0007
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND: Earlier this month I was contacted by Paul Novak about purchasing his property along the rail road
tracks, PID 13.029.21.32.0007. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the council approve the purchase agreement for PID 13.029.21.32.0007?
PROPOSAL: Included in your packet is the purchase agreement drafted by the city attorney and signed by Mr. Novak. The purchase price is $1,260. Similar to the other property purchased near this one, the city also agrees to cover the closing costs. The sale must close prior to November 17, 2021 in order
to avoid OV 5 and 6 street and drainage assessments to the parcel.
FISCAL IMPACT: $1,260 plus closing costs. Funds will come from the 2021A bonds. OPTIONS: 1) Approve the Purchase Agreement for PID 13.029.21.32.0007 2) Amend and then Approve the Purchase Agreement for PID 13.029.21.32.0007
3) Do not approve the Purchase Agreement for PID 13.029.21.32.0007
RECOMMENDATION: If removed from the consent agenda:
“Motion to approve the Resolution No. 2021-109 to purchase PID 13.029.21.32.0007.”
