Chaffee County approves sale of Buena Vista property to fire district for $400,000
Summary
The board approved the sale of the county's interest in 499 Antero Circle, Buena Vista, to the Chaffee County Fire Protection District for $400,000 payable in two installments; commissioners said the transaction repurposes surplus property after a new public safety facility opened.
Chaffee County commissioners voted to sell the county's share of a jointly owned property at 499 Antero Circle in Buena Vista to the Chaffee County Fire Protection District.
County staff told the board the building and lot were purchased jointly years ago to house a north-end EMS and sheriff's presence; with a new public safety facility now open, the county no longer needs the older building. The county's portion of the property will sell for $400,000, to be paid in two annual payments as negotiated with the fire district.
The board's motion to proceed with the sale passed by unanimous vote. The county assessor (Rick Roberts) participated in a valuation used to set the sale price, and the commissioners described the deal as a sensible reuse for a property that served a joint public-safety purpose.
Ending: The board moved on after the vote and adjourned the county-commission portion to convene as the Board of Health for a separate hearing.
