Merced board considers $80,000 bid from Peggy Michelle Boone for property sale

Merced County's Board of Supervisors took a significant step forward in property management during their April 22 meeting, as they moved to finalize the sale of a portion of a parcel identified as 35010056, currently occupied by Merced Monuments. Public Works Director Nathan Bray presented the details, highlighting that the board had previously declared its intention to sell this property on March 11.

Following the required bidding process, a single bid was received on April 2, amounting to $80,000, which meets the board's minimum bid criteria. The bidder, Peggy Michelle Boone, has agreed to all conditions of the sale. Bray confirmed that the bid was responsive and satisfactory, paving the way for the board to take action.

To complete the sale, the board will need to adopt a resolution accepting Boone's bid. This decision not only streamlines the property transaction but also reflects the board's commitment to effective land management and community development. The anticipated outcome is a smooth transition of ownership, which could lead to further enhancements in the area.
