Commissioners seek faster BLM action on Browns Park School transfer, note appraisal cost
Summary
The board approved sending a letter to the Bureau of Land Management and federal representatives urging priority on transferring Browns Park School to the local alumni association, noting the county paid a federal appraisal of about $7,000 in December 2024 and is concerned the appraisal may expire without BLM action.
Moffat County commissioners approved a letter to the Bureau of Land Management and federal lawmakers requesting that the BLM prioritize a property transfer of the Browns Park School to the local alumni association.
County staff told commissioners that a federally required appraisal for the school was completed in December 2024 and cost the county just over $7,000. Staff said BLM action on the transfer has been slow and the county is concerned the appraisal could expire before the transfer occurs. Commissioners directed staff to notify federal representatives and the BLM to help keep the transfer moving forward.
The meeting record notes the item was part of the consent agenda the board adopted earlier in the meeting; no separate public comment or additional debate occurred on the letter during the regular session.
