Commissioner Lasman moved and Commissioner Ryan seconded adoption of RESOLUTION
NO. 2008 -08 Accepting Bid Award and Awarding Contract for Salvage of Equipment and
Materials at EDA Owned Property Located at 2500 County Road 10 (Former Brookdale Ford).
Commissioner Yelich requested clarification regarding the following statement included in the
purchase agreement: "...and Seller shall be entitled to the amount to be paid to buyer under the
highest bid for the salvage rights to the property." Mr. Boganey explained this maximizes the
benefit to the seller, which is the previous owner in this case. The seller's negotiation was to get
the maximum value he could from allowing the City to purchase the site.
It was noted that the purchase agreement between the City and the original owner of this site
included the requirement to go out for bid. The total bid amount of $2,800 is not a debt the City
owes; it is what was bid for the property. The bidder will pay the EDA for the right to salvage
the property; the EDA will provide the $2,800 to the previous owner in accordance with the
purchase agreement. It was also noted that this was a public bidding process. City staff made
every effort to solicit bids in addition to the publication, and actually sought bidders out. When
the bids were received, a copy of the staff report was sent to the previous owner, who has not
responded or expressed any concern.
Motion passed unanimously.
5. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Yelich moved and Commissioner Ryan seconded adjournment of the Economic
