BOONE, Iowa—The Boone City Council will hold a Special Meeting Monday evening at 6:00 to consider formal action on accepting an offer to purchase property at 628 Story Street. The offer to purchase the property for $225,000 has been made by the Overland Property Group, LLC and would be the proposed site of a new Dollar General Store in Boone. The bid is less than the amount spent for acquisition and demolition of the property. Following a public hearing, the Council will need to take formal action to approve the sale.

The Council is also expected to hear from City Administrator Bill Skare regarding a proposed Wellness Center and Boone Mayor John Slight is expected to make comments about the city’s participation with the Central Iowa Expo. At issue is the city’s position that they originally had representation on the CIE Board and now that’s been changed to a board appointed by the Boone County Supervisors.
