Commission considers acquiring Third Street lot for county parking
Summary
The commission reviewed a resolution (25 5 8) to acquire a small lot on Third Street for county use as parking; staff said the offer price was below what the seller had paid and that the design will retain existing trees.
County staff presented Resolution 25 5 8 seeking authority to acquire property on Third Street for county use and to expand services, with the current plan to convert the lot to parking.
The property was described by staff as several adjoining parcels listed in the agenda (transcript lists parcel references as 129, 131, 137 and 1309 Third Street). The county reported making an offer approximately $100,000 less than what the current property owner paid and said the purchase price would be below the assessor's valuation. Commissioners asked for confirmation of location; the mayor confirmed the lot sits across the street from the Kennedy Law Firm. Staff said county designer Nick Powell has prepared a layout and that the plan would keep existing trees on the lot.
The resolution was placed on the consent agenda; no separate vote is recorded in the transcript excerpt. Staff said the intended near-term use is parking and that additional uses could be considered later.
