Finance committee reviews $500 sealed bid for Sac Street parcel, sends sale to full board
Summary
Burke County finance committee received a single sealed bid of $500 from the adjacent property owner for an irregular, nearly one‑acre parcel on Sac Street and will place the item on the full board agenda for Tuesday; a motion to reject the bid was proposed but no vote was recorded.
Burke County finance committee members discussed the county’s offer to sell a narrow parcel on Sac Street off Clark Place Road after the county received a single sealed bid of $500 from the adjacent property owner.
County staff said the parcel is “almost an acre” but has a shape that would make building a home difficult and that the lot is effectively valuable only to the adjacent owner who would add it to her property. Committee members were told the parcel is a lot of record and that putting it back on the tax roll may be preferable to holding it unsold.
Staff recommended placing the bid on the full board agenda for Tuesday so the full Board of Commissioners can accept or reject the offer. A staff member moved that the committee reject the bid; that motion was made on the record but no final vote was recorded during the finance meeting.
Next steps: the committee agreed to carry the item to the full board agenda for Tuesday for formal action.
