ITEM 2.A. | Council Action: 1/30/2025 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Resolution authorizing and directing the Mayor to execute any and all documents necessary for the purchase of property from Pottawattamie County Secondary Road Division to be used by City of Council Bluffs Public Works Department as a material staging location. |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
- For many years, Pottawattamie County Secondary Roads division operated a small facility near the intersection of State Orchard Road and Greenview Road. They recently completed a new and much larger operations facility located on Easter Hills Drive, allowing them to consolidate their operations.
- Public Works is interested in the property so that we can establish a material staging location on the east side of the community. This will reduce travel times for crews working on the east side, and help to increase operational efficiency.
- Representatives from the County contacted the Mayor at the end of 2024 and offered to sell the property to the City. After some negotiation, a purchase price of $235,000 was agreed to by both parties. A closing has been scheduled for February 5th.
- This property acquisition was included in the FY26 CIP with funding from the Road Use tax fund and Sewer funds. The total purchase price, including half of closing costs, is $235,973.85.
