Agenda Item  
XI. B.   Disposing of a House and Property at Regional Park 
 
Overview 
The city recently acquired about 15 acres of land during 2024 to expand Regional Park. On that 
acreage is a 2,258 s.f. single -family house built in 1991 and located in a B -3 zoning district 
(Intensive Business District). Those uses are attached. The city d oes not need the house and is 
interested in disposing of the house and sufficient land through an advertised competitive sealed 
bid, advertised public auction, or other legal means. Attached is a plat of the house on 1.18 acres 
of land (Lot 1) that was surveyed during October 2024 and assessment data indicating the house 
has a value of $215,400. 
 
Following discussion during the April 7, 2025 work session, the consensus was to place this item 
on the April 15, 2025 regular session agenda under New Business for further discussion and 
consideration.  
 
In addition, attached are MTAS recommendations regarding the sale of surplus city property.  
 
Action to Consider 
If interested, a motion, second, and vote are needed to approve a resolution to declare the house 
and 1.18 acres of land (Lot 1) as surplus city property and authorize city staff to dispose of the 
property through an advertised competitive sealed bid with a specified minimum bid amount, 
advertised public auction, or other legal means. If the property is sold, the city attorney would 
prepare all necessary legal documents to transfer the property to the new owner.
