§ 1061. Conveyance of real estate

• (a)(1) If the legislative body of a town or village desires to convey municipal real estate,
  the legislative body shall give notice of the terms of the proposed conveyance by
  posting a notice in at least three public places within the municipality, one of which
  shall be in or near the municipal clerk’s office. Notice shall also be published in
  a newspaper of general circulation within the municipality. The posting and publication
  required by this subsection shall occur at least 30 days prior to the date of the
  proposed conveyance. Unless a petition is filed in accordance with subdivision (2)
  of this subsection, the legislative body may authorize the conveyance. (2) If a petition signed by five percent of the legal voters of the municipality objecting
  to the proposed conveyance is presented to the municipal clerk within 30 days of the
  date of posting and publication of the notice required by subdivision (1) of this
  subsection, the legislative body shall cause the question of whether the municipality
  shall convey the real estate to be considered at a special or annual meeting called
  for that purpose. After the meeting, the real estate may be conveyed unless a majority
  of the voters of the municipality present and voting vote to disapprove of the conveyance.
