Bancroft council adopts Ordinance 316-26 to sell 108 Warren St.

Six council members voted yes at a 10-minute special meeting on Aug. 18; three were absent and the minutes list no sale price.

The Bancroft Village Council voted 6-0 on Tuesday, Aug. 18, to adopt Ordinance 316-26 in connection with the sale of 108 Warren St., according to the special meeting minutes submitted by Village President Brian M. Barnum.

The minutes list the item under new business as "Sale of 108 Warren St" and record that "discussion was held" before the vote. Council member H. Boggetta moved to adopt the ordinance and B. Monroe seconded it. Voting yes were Boggetta, Monroe, L. Fall, F. Simpson, E. Labadie and Barnum. No member voted no.

Three council members were absent: T. Holmes, H. Holmes and C. Hutchins, the minutes state.

The minutes do not include a sale price, a buyer, or the text of the ordinance, and they do not describe the property. The Shiawassee Current cannot report those details from this document.

The special meeting was held at the Bancroft Municipal Complex, 503 W. Maple St., and not at the village office at 120 Warren St. Barnum called the meeting to order at 7:06 p.m., and the council recited the Pledge of Allegiance. The agenda was approved on a motion by Monroe, seconded by Boggetta, by the same 6-0 margin.

The minutes record no public comment in either the first or second comment session, no communications and no council comments. Labadie moved to adjourn, Boggetta seconded, and the council adjourned at 7:16 p.m. on a 6-0 vote.

What happens next

The minutes do not state a closing date for the sale or set a follow-up item, and they do not list the date of the council's next meeting. The full ordinance and any sale documents would be available from the village office at 120 Warren St., (989) 634-5375.
