Selling Price for Homes  
Amelunke spoke with the director of Lawrence Community Land Trust to get an idea on  
the pricing for how they list their homes. Based on research done, looking to sell the two  
homes on 8th St for around $170,000 each. Staff is in the process of releasing everything  
with Grove Construction as they are now good on their prevailing wage. Currently have 6  
invoices for them to go through and may have one more invoice at the end when they get  
the CO (certificate of occupancy). Amelunke and Gorsage have been over at 115 Lynn  
meeting with contractors. Looking to possibly sell the home for $150,000 but will have to  
see what the home rehabs for first before setting the selling price. Flooring has to be  
replaced and bids have been sent out. Looking to put carpet in the living room and  
bedroom while LVP is placed in the bathroom and kitchen.  
Motion to start the selling price for the 8th street properties at $170,000: Stanton
