Commission accepts donation of two parcels adjacent to new Cooperative Extension building

San Juan County commissioners voted to accept two donated parcels adjacent to the county’s new Cooperative Extension Service building on Gossett Drive in Aztec: a 0.5-acre parcel and a 0.14-acre parcel holding a retention pond and associated right-of-way. A county staff member presented the item for consideration, noting the parcels would provide access and stormwater retention adjacent to the building. “This item comes before you for consideration of donations of land adjacent to the new Cooperative Extension service building,” the staff presenter said. Commissioners moved to accept the donation, instructed the county legal department to prepare necessary documents, and authorized the county manager to sign closing papers on the county’s behalf. The motion explicitly included both the access right-of-way and the retention pond parcels. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded during the meeting.
