HAVEN, Kan. — The Haven City Council gave approval to enter into an agreement with the USD 312 School District to purchase land for a new housing development.
The option to purchase agreement already approved by USD 312 calls for the city to pay $300 for the option to purchase real estate behind the school district office for $50,000.
The agreement was overlooked during a past meeting and did have two changes. One is the request for the city to pay the entire cost of the title insurance and the second is to pay $300 rather than $100 for the option to purchase. The agenda item passed unanimously. The city hopes to establish Wildcat Landing on a parcel of land north of the USD 312 administrative offices.
Also Monday night, the council approved a request from the Chamber for a fireworks permit for a display to be held during the Haven Fall Festival, and approved a new five-year contract with Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk and Loyd to provide budget and audit work for the city.
The council also addressed concerns expressed by one council member over grass clippings being blown into the street. The council may consider an ordinance copied from one established by the city of Iola. The matter will be discussed at the next council meeting.
