Development deal with Mountainland Supply approved
The city approved a development agreement with Mountainland Supply; the motion itself does not state the site, the size, or the terms.

City land sold at $95,000 an acre

City to draft telecom rules

Rules wanted for selling off city land
The council put a written policy for judging applications to buy city-owned land on its list of legislative priorities, so staff review such requests consistently.
What it means: Nothing changes for you today. If the policy gets written, anyone asking to buy a piece of city ground would face one standard instead of a case-by-case judgment call.
