Continued public hearing: storm drain property purchase
Discussed
Mayor Dahle said the property on Holladay Boulevard had flooded and purchase was chosen as the most cost-effective long-term option. The budget amendment is $980,000, with the difference from the price reflecting closing and legal costs. Council Member Brewer said the negotiated price was below the appraisal, and Council Member Gibbons said the council deliberated in several closed sessions. Two residents emailed concerns about the price and process, which Council Member Fotheringham answered; a Holladay Boulevard resident supported the purchase and raised canal-related drainage history.
