Coffey County to auction Leroy Clinic and hospital‑area building; board agrees listing agent, low reserves and publication schedule
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a listing proposal and agreed to proceed with auctioning two county-owned properties with a co-listing agent, a capped commission, a low reserve strategy and a planned publication schedule and auction date.
Coffey County commissioners discussed plans to auction two county-owned properties — the Leroy Clinic (538 C Street/Leroy) and a building west of the hospital (824 North Fourth Street, Burlington area references in the transcript) — and agreed to move forward with a local listing agent under terms proposed in an email from agent Cameron Roth.
The county reviewed an email read into the record that said Roth and Christy Noonan would co‑list the properties and that their company would “pay for the advertising out of the commission.” Commissioners agreed the listing commission would be five percent with a $5,000 cap for both properties combined; the county would continue to publish the required public notice under its disposal resolution while Roth’s firm would handle additional advertising paid from the commission.
Board members discussed timing, reserve prices and location for the auction: they expressed a preference for a low reserve and tentatively set an auction date of Oct. 30 at 7 p.m., with a follow-up public meeting on Nov. 3 (dates were discussed during the meeting and appear in the draft notice the board reviewed). The board also agreed the auction could be held in the courthouse lobby (with the basement meeting room as an alternate) and asked that the public notice run for two consecutive weeks; the clerk will publish the formal notice and Roth’s firm will handle additional advertising.
Commissioners also reviewed county appraisal information the assessor’s office has posted online: the Leroy property’s 2025 appraised value was given as $69,018 and the hospital‑area building’s 2025 appraised value as $189,780. Commissioners cautioned members that the assessor’s value may not reflect interior condition and urged a staff walk-through to determine visible condition before finalizing reserves.
Operational arrangements discussed included giving Cameron Roth keys to properties for showings, producing GIS paperwork for each property and allowing county staff or the agent to open the properties for prospective bidders. Commissioners asked staff to coordinate inspections and to circulate the draft listing agreement for review before finalizing terms.
No formal signed listing agreement was recorded at the meeting; commissioners directed staff to continue work with the agent, confirm reserve amounts and proceed with the public‑notice schedule.
