LANCASTER CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING PROCEEDINGS

The Lancaster City Council met for a Special Meeting to discuss selling backlots in Lancaster Addition to Lancaster on Friday, June 17, 2016, at 5:00 P.M. in the Lancaster City Hall. Members present were Mayor, Michael Olson; council members Mary Barron, Luke Nordin and Tom Sebenaler. Jim Hilman was absent. Also present was Greg Peterson.

Council is meeting to continue the discussion from June 8, 2016 Regular Council Meeting in regards to selling the backlots in Lancaster Addition that Greg Peterson and Richard Hilman have requested purchasing in order to build new homes on the lots they would like to purchase on third street. Sebenaler obtained estimates for extending water and sewer to the backlots facing County Road 6 would be approximately $44,000.00 and that the cost to extend to 4^th Street would be approximately $75,000.00. He stated that 5^th Street would be much more and also entail building a road.

Council discussed that if they sell the backlots for $500.00 then the city would have at least 3 new homes constructed in the addition. If the lots were sold for $5,000.00 or more some of the proposed homes may not be built.

Mayor set a special meeting for June 21, 2016 at 5:00PM at the City Hall to discuss the selling of lots and backlots to interested persons for home construction and also to discuss any backlots that existing homeowners may wish to purchase.
