Members of the Saint Jo City Council will discuss the possible sale of 2.775 acres of land on U.S. Highway 82 through sealed bid when they meet at 6 p.m. on April 10 in Saint Jo City Hall.
This acreage is part of a nearly 50-acre tract of land owned by the city east of town that includes land occupied by the wastewater plant, Easy Street Shelter and a property facing the highway that was formerly leased to a construction company.
During the past six months there has been a lot of discussion in the council and community about a Dollar General store possibly locating in Saint Jo. This land was debated in a council session three months ago.
An executive session is set to consider the appointment of a new police officer, Roxanne Lindberg, to the city’s force.
Other items on Wednesday’s agenda include: Request by Trey Wilkins to host a Trade Days Event at Gilbert Freight Outlet on May 11; discuss a request by Richard and Hollis Notgrass on the division of 2.5 acres into separate properties; approve emergency medical service mutual aid agreement for the Saint Jo Volunteer EMS Department; consider adding two additional bank accounts for Saint Jo Municipal court for local truancy and prevention diversion fund and municipal jury fund; review bringing in a certified public accountant to aid in financial audits and approval of monthly bills, minutes and reports.
