Agenda Item 
XI. D. Potential Acquisition of Downtown Property for Parking and Garbage Dumpster 
Consolidation  
 
Overview 
It is a well-known fact that the downtown area needs additional parking . Vacant property 
adjacent to Market Park appears to be available and would be a perfect site for additional parking 
as well as a site to consolidate the city ’s downtown garbage dumpsters. A map and additional 
information of the 8,500+/- square foot property that is zoned B-2 (Central Business District) is 
attached. If approved to move forward with acqui sition, an appra isal and environmental 
assessment would be needed to determine fair market value. Once a value has been determined, 
approach the property owner with an offer. This item is not budgeted but funds would come 
from the Capital Improvement Fund. 
 
Following discussion during the August 11, 2025 work session, the consensus was to place this 
item on the August 19, 2025 regular session under New Business for further discussion.  
 
Action to Consider 
Motion, second, and majority vote are needed to authorize staff to obtain an appraisal of this 
property to determine fair market value, obtain a Phase I environmental assessment to determine 
if any environmental issues are present on the site, and make an offer to the owner based on the 
appraised value. If successful, the City Attorney can close the transaction. This purchase was 
not budgeted but would come from the Capital Improvement Fund.
