Board discusses possible sale of district corner lot with RV hookup; no formal action taken
Summary
Board members discussed interest from a patron in purchasing a district-owned corner lot that includes an RV hookup and utilities; the discussion explored comparable lot prices but no motion or sale terms were approved.
Freedom Public Schools board members discussed whether the district should consider selling a corner lot that includes an RV hookup and utilities. The board did not take formal action; members asked staff to check county assessments and market comparables.
During discussion board members said the lot has water, electric and sewer hookups and is located across from the home of Chris and Katie Strayle (an English teacher mentioned in the meeting). Participants compared recent local lot sales and offers: $2,000 per lot was mentioned as a prior sale figure for some lots, while other speakers said some vacant properties in town were being marketed for much higher amounts (figures mentioned included $3,500 and an asserted market example of $35,000, which speakers described as likely optimistic). One participant said they recently bought a property after a tax sale for about $5,300.
Board members suggested staff could check the county assessor and consult a local realtor (a board member referenced a realtor connection in the group) to establish fair market value. No price, listing decision or authorization to market the lot was approved at the meeting.
The discussion was exploratory; board members agreed to investigate values and report back if the district wishes to pursue a sale.
