Jackson County holds resolution to declare real property surplus after committee members request more information
Summary
The committee held a resolution that would declare certain parcels surplus and authorize soliciting bids; members requested details about why land is being decommissioned, trust status and aerials, and asked staff to pass questions to administration.
Jackson County Budget Committee members held agenda item (resolution) that would declare certain real property as surplus and authorize the administration to solicit bids for selling the surplus parcels. A committee member asked for an explanatory update from the administration about why the parcels were being decommissioned, saying they were not previously warned the matter was coming and that they would like more information before the committee moved forward.
Whitney Miller of the County Councilor's Office responded that she could not provide an immediate explanation but would pass the committee's request to the administration and would get back at a later date. A committee member asked whether the parcels under consideration were in land trust; Miller said she believed that to be the case but would check and follow up. Another committee member requested aerial images and property descriptions, noting one plot in eastern Jackson County would likely be opposed if it were declared surplus because of possible future projects.
The committee did not vote on the resolution during the recorded discussion; the chair confirmed the item would be held so the administration could provide the requested information in a subsequent meeting or committee update.
