Mr. Fritz suggested that the Village complete final payments for certain properties acquired by the Village. He recommended 160 S. Broadway and 445 S. Broadway. The final payment for 610 S. Broadway will occur in FY24. The Board suggested that the 55 W. Maple be negotiated and finalized in FY22 instead of 445 S. Broadway and 160 S. Broadway because those two properties are already financed wherein 55 W. Maple is a leased property. The 160 W. Walnut property was acquired when the Village demolished the abandoned property following the tornado. Habitat for Humanity may be interested in purchasing the property for a home. The 95 E. Oak Street property which was acquired when the home was abandoned and the Village declared it unsafe, demolished the property and placed a lien on the vacant property. Selling it on the open market is suggested.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:57 p.m.
