Council declares Clearwater Gas System parcel in Pasco County surplus, approves sale
Summary
The council declared a Clearwater Gas System-owned property at 7240 U.S. Highway 19 North (Pasco County) surplus and approved listing it for sale after a recent appraisal valued it at $650,000.
The Clearwater City Council voted unanimously on March 6 to declare a Clearwater Gas System property in Pasco County surplus and to post the parcel for sale to the highest qualified bidder. The property is identified in the discussion as 7240 U.S. Highway 19 North in New Port Richey and by parcel identifier 32-25-16004000C000040.
Brian Langill, executive director for Clearwater Gas System, told the council the system purchased the property in the 1990s for $275,000, vacated operations there in February 2008 and had retained the parcel pending stronger market conditions. Langill said an appraisal completed "a couple months ago" valued the parcel at $650,000, substantially higher than the purchase price, and the system is now requesting that the property be declared surplus so it can be listed for sale.
No public comment was recorded on the item. A motion to approve agenda item 7.1 carried unanimously; the minutes record no abstentions or recorded opposing votes. The council did not specify a listing price in the meeting materials; Langill said the appraisal figure was $650,000.
