Dakota City Council purchases property


Second graders from Mr. Gotto’s class at Taft Elementary School were among the 80-plus visitors last Thursday at Dakota City Hall. Students had a chance to see all of the city’s equipment, see the city recycling center and participate in a mock council meeting, with students serving as the mayor, council members and concerned citizens.

The Dakota City Council approved several items of business at its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 12.
The city of Dakota City approved a resolution for the purchase of property described as lot 9, block 22, city of Dakota City (202 4th St. S.) from Brian and Norm Nelson in the amount of $15,500, plus expenses borne by the buyer.
The city had earlier agreed to purchase the Duane Watts home at 204 4th St. S. in the amount of $5,500.
Purchase of the property will allow the city more staging area for its planned new city well construction. Also, one of the homes may be rehabilitated and resold to a private party as part of the city’s low-to-moderate income set-aside for housing suitable for low-to-moderate income homeowners.
City Clerk Angelique Berry reported that the city has spent $23,040 in low-to-moderate housing set-aside, with $161,260 in the account.
