Pavilion sale contract set for council action

Another deer hunt to be considered in FD

A detailed contract for the sale of The Pavilion in Corridor Plaza will come before the Fort Dodge City Council this evening.

The council will also consider scheduling another urban deer hunt to begin this fall.

The council will meet at 6 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 819 First Ave. S.

Last month, the council sold The Pavilion, a sports facility on the west side of Corridor Plaza to M and M LLC, of Ankeny, for $12.1 million.

That sale is to close on April 30, according to the contract before the council.

The contract outlines the specific amounts M and M will pay the city and when it will make those payments. For example, the contract calls for payments of $59,115.97 a month until November of this year.

The contract includes a payment schedule up until June 1, 2030, when the final payment must be made.

The city has had two previous deer hunts by archers. The most recent one concluded in early January.

The proposed dates for the next hunt are Sept. 20 through Jan. 10, 2026.

The hunt must be approved by the City Council and the Iowa Natural Resources Commission.

Starting at $2.99/week.
