After hearing from Assistant City Administrator Dennis Enslinger on Tuesday that the sale of 7925 Reinhardt Lane had not been completed as promised, the Prairie Village City Council voted unanimously to begin taking legal action against the home’s owner, Millicent Seested.

Completing the sale of the property, which had fallen into extreme disrepair and violated a number of city codes, by the end of August was a condition of the Council’s agreement to grant Seested additional time before they pursued legal action. Council members said they hoped Seested and her potential buyer, Tim Smith, would complete the sale of the property before actual legal motions were filed.
