County commissioners authorize county manager to negotiate property purchase within board parameters
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners approved a motion authorizing the county manager to negotiate the purchase of unspecified property within parameters set by the board; the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
The Board of County Commissioners voted to allow the county manager to negotiate the purchase of property within parameters set by the board during a public meeting.
The authorization gives the county manager authority to negotiate purchase terms so long as those terms fall within limits the board established. The board did not identify the parcel, seller, or purchase price during the meeting.
Board members approved the motion on a roll-call vote. Commissioners answering “yes” were Trost, Klein, Cordova, Bowen and Carlson. The meeting record shows the motion was moved and seconded; the transcript does not name who moved or seconded.
The board had briefly reconvened from a closed session earlier in the meeting; an earlier roll-call after the reconvening recorded Trost, Klein, Renova and Bowen voting to reopen. A board member observed that the only matter discussed in the closed session was the item for which the meeting had been closed.
No documents, price ranges, property descriptions or acquisition timelines were included in the discussion recorded in the transcript. The motion instructs negotiation within parameters previously set by the Board of County Commissioners; the transcript does not specify whether those parameters were set at this meeting or in an earlier session.
The board moved on after voting to a separate agenda item regarding opioid litigation and then adjourned.
