Summary
After a public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners approved selling an excess county parcel at 10 Kerman Avenue to Renown Health at a sale price of $750,000 (below a prior appraisal); the action passed 4–1.
Washoe County commissioners approved the sale of a county-owned parcel at 10 Kerman Avenue to Renown Health following a public hearing on March 11. The board voted to sell the property at a purchase price of $750,000, a figure below an earlier appraisal shared in staff materials.
Background and purpose: Manager Eric Brown explained the resolution of intent to sell the county property as surplus for economic-development purposes and said Renown Health planned to expand medical services on the site. Commissioners discussed the parcel’s history; Vice Chair Jean Herman noted the issue had been discussed by previous boards and community partners over several years.
Clarification on price: Before the motion, Assistant District Attorney Nathan Edwards asked for confirmation on the sale price. "I want to clarify the price here would be $750,000," Edwards said on the record to ensure clarity about the terms to be approved.
Public comment: No members of the public registered to speak during the hearing portion of the meeting.
Vote and outcome: Chair Alexis Hill moved the resolution of intent to sell; a second followed. The motion carried 4–1, with Commissioner Mike Clark voting no. The board’s action directs staff to finalize the sale documents and to proceed with the conveyance under the terms discussed at the meeting.
Next steps: County staff will prepare the conveyance paperwork, conduct any required surveying and finalize the lease or deed language in coordination with the buyer and legal counsel. The county said it will provide required notices and complete customary closing steps.
Ending: The sale transfers the north parcel to Renown Health for development of expanded health services; staff said the county will retain and manage any retained parcels as described in the resolution.
