selling of City owned property at 352 West Spruce Street. City Attorney
Chrissie Peterson stated that Alderman Meade had asked for her to look into
if the City of Canton would have to have a resolution or ordinance for the
selling of the property. The State Statute states that a resolution allows
selling the property for 80% of the appraised value. After 6 months if the
property is not sold, there are no requirements. With an ordinance you must
post a public notice of accepting bids. Alderman Sarff stated that the city
accepts the best bid. Chrissie said it would be the best use of the property
and not necessarily the highest bid. Roll call. AYES – Aldermen Hartford,
