Supervisors set Sept. 8 public hearing and sealed‑bid opening to dispose of county property
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2025‑08‑18 to move forward with sale of county property and set a combined public hearing and sealed‑bid opening for Sept. 8; the board instructed staff on publication and a bid submission deadline of 8:45 a.m.
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to dispose of a small county property parcel and scheduled a public hearing and sealed‑bid opening for Sept. 8. The resolution (2025‑08‑18) formalizes the county’s intent to sell the parcel, identifies the legal description in the resolution, and sets next procedural steps.
County staff told the board they would consult the assessor to establish a fair market price as required by statute. The board chose to combine the public hearing and the bid opening on Sept. 8 and require sealed bids to be delivered by 8:45 a.m. the same day, then open bids at 8:45 a.m. The board directed staff to publish notice and to proceed with a sealed‑bid sale process; supervisors emphasized the sale will follow the public hearing and that the board can reject bids if they are not acceptable.
Why it matters: the parcel has limited buildable value because of setback restrictions to rights‑of‑way (staff observation), but supervisors said they would follow advertising and valuation steps so the public has an opportunity to bid. Staff described prior county sales that used sealed bids as precedent.
Ending: Staff will advertise the hearing and sale per statutory notice requirements and accept sealed bids by 8:45 a.m. on Sept. 8; the board will open bids and consider the sale at that meeting.
