The City of Butler will not be moving forward with a plan that would sell a portion of the parking in the downtown area.
By a 3-2 margin, City Council rejected a term sheet with a company called Transportation Services Consultants towards an agreement that would have sold the Tier Garage and two parking lots beside the City Building for $3.75 million.
Councilman Kenny Bonus voted against taking the next step in the process of selling the assets.
Bonus was joined by Council members Mike Walter and Bob Dandoy in opposition while Mayor Ben Smith and Councilman Jeff Smith voted in agreement with the motion.
Although this current proposal has been defeated, the city is continuing to explore other possibilities to increase revenue while maintaining parking assets.
