Item 26 resolution number 95 23 24 by elder persons Decker and Salazar authorizing the appropriate city officials to cast an official ballot for the Shabuigan County representative of the Farm Service Agenda Committee. Elder Decker. Thank you Mayor. I ask to suspend the rules. So based on council we just the motion superseded this so we're looking for recommendation to accept and file. Make a motion to file. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on filing this document? Seeing none. All those in favor this is a roll call vote. Seven eyes. That item is approved. Items 27 through 34 will be sent to their respective committees. Hop them down to item 35. Reported committees RC number 132 23 24 by the Finance and Personnel Committee to whom was referred resolution number 88 23 24 by other persons Mitchell and Flicky Paneski authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into an intergovernmental cooperative agreement with the Shabuigan County for sales tax revenue sharing for the transportation infrastructure and maintenance. Elder Mitchell. Thank you Mayor. I move to receive their seat and adapt the resolution. Second. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? All right. Seeing none. This is a roll call vote. Seven eyes. That item is approved. Item 36 RC number 133 23 24 by the Finance and Personnel Committee to whom was referred resolution number 92 23 24 by other persons Mitchell and Flicky Paneski authorizing the sale of city parking lot number three located at 821 Niagara Avenue to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. Alder Mitchell. And Mayor. I move to receive the RC and adapt the resolution. Is there a second? Second. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? Alder Decker. I would recommend that we hold this just after getting communications from the people from the Wild Center. That's what they've asked that we do. And I would recommend that we do that we hold this. City Attorney. So here's the issue with holding it. If you hold it, then you're in essence preventing it from happening because it's likely that you're going to go past the closing date. I recognize that there is some concern from the folks at the Wild Center about this sale. However, part of the resolution you are approving requires that in order for the sale to take place, there must be an agreement between the parties. So by you're approving it today, you're not actually finalizing the sale today. What you're doing is allowing for the sale to occur if the contingencies in the document are met. And the contingency here that remains would be an agreement between the Wild Center and Trinity. So unless the Wild Center agrees to something, this sale is not going to go through even if you vote it voted up today. Whereas if you vote it down or if you hold it, you could prevent the sale from going through even if at some point they make an agreement to do to allow the sale to go through. So older Decker. Well, I guess I just don't feel comfortable with this right now. We've this agreement was that we were at find the transportation committee three weeks ago. And this still hasn't there still hasn't been a resolution between these two parties. So I just don't feel comfortable supporting this at this time. So I would either either hold it or vote it down as my is my my my preference. So just are you making a motion to hold it? I'll make a motion to hold. Okay, and then is there a specified time? Until the next council. Okay, so there's been a motion to hold till the next council meeting. Is there a second on that? There's been a second. Any discussion on holding this document? Oh, the Mitchell. Yes. Just from my perspective, it's not necessarily the city that is doing the mediation directly involved in ensuring there is an agreement. If the city's interest is making sure that all the neighbors for the while center and Trinity are at agreement before the parking lot is sold, then we can Trinity can move forward with whatever plans they'll have in the future. To me, that is already covered in the class in the offer to purchase. So I will be voting against holding. Thank you, older Mitchell. Anyone else wishing to speak on this document for holding older cells? This is for the city attorney. If we hold it over through the next council meeting, will they after that next council meeting, then the agreement is can't move forward or are we so the agreement cannot move forward. None of the things that need to happen can move forward until you approve it. If you approve it here today, all that changes is that once the parties come to an agreement, once the while center and Trinity come to an agreement, there can be a closing. If you hold it, we can't do any of that process. So, yeah. And if they don't come to an agreement, let's say we're three months from now, they haven't come to an agreement. Then what happens to this? Not even three months from now. If you get to December or whatever date it is in the in the in the agreement, and they haven't come to an agreement, the agreement is moot and it dies. So you could approve it today. That doesn't mean this thing is going to close. There is a date on here. Yes, there's a date on the on the offer to purchase by which closing must occur. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, you can talk one more time. Elder Decker. Okay. I guess my concern about this is like I said, the the while center definitely that from the email that I've gotten from discussions that I've talked to them, they don't feel comfortable with this at all right now. And I just don't feel comfortable even putting it forward unless until I mean they've had three weeks now since this and still has nothing that's nothing's moved. So I guess I'm I'm I'm still opposed to it. So okay. So the item on the floor still is to hold this document. Any further discussion? Alright, seeing none. This is a roll call vote. So motion on the table is to hold item 36. Yes, until the next council meeting, four eyes, three nose. All right, that item will be held till our next council meeting. Next item 37.
