City Council Initiates Bidding Process for Three Surplus Properties
What happened
The City Council agreed to solicit bids for three city-owned properties: the old Kum and Go, Antelope Flats, and 619 West Spruce Street. The council also decided to use this process to establish an official policy for future property sales. The former Uptown Motel, located at 619 West Spruce Street, was demolished using the Dangerous Building Fund, and the owner transferred the property to the city.

Why it matters
The decision establishes a formal process for the city to liquidate surplus assets and replenish the Dangerous Building Fund. This change in municipal land management could lead to shifts in local property values and city revenue streams.
The City Council governs land use decisions within the municipality.
