Grimes County commissioners approve marketing 7.582-acre parcel in Navasota and authorize contract negotiations with SVN Real Estate
Summary
The Commissioners Court voted to move forward with sale efforts for a 7.582-acre county-owned parcel on Veterans Memorial Drive in Navasota, authorizing the county attorney to negotiate with SVN Real Estate at the listing proposed in SVN's submission.
The Grimes County Commissioners Court voted Monday to pursue sale of a 7.582-acre county-owned parcel on Veterans Memorial Drive in Navasota and authorized the county attorney to negotiate a contract with SVN Real Estate at the list price proposed by the company.
The action came after the court returned from executive session under Texas Government Code §551.072 for deliberation regarding real property. The court then took up agenda item No. 2 and, as recorded, Commissioner Michael Raskin moved “that we take action in the furthering the sales of the following 7.52 acres,” and Commissioner Philip Cox seconded the motion. County Judge (presiding) then called for the vote; the court indicated assent and the motion carried.
The court's motion specifically named the 7.582-acre tract on Veterans Memorial Drive in Navasota and directed the county attorney to negotiate with SVN (identified in the record as the listing firm). The court discussion referenced the sale being pursued “based on their proposal” and at “the list price that they proposed.” No sale price, buyer, or contract language was read into the record during the meeting.
Court members also noted a non-action item: facilities staff were instructed to remove a sign from the Road and Bridge building; the judge said that did not require formal court action and would be handled by facilities and maintenance.
What the court approved at the meeting was authorization to move forward with marketing and to give the county attorney authority to negotiate a sales contract with SVN Real Estate. No final sales contract was signed during the session, and no closing date or purchaser was identified on the record.
The court opened and closed the item in open session after the executive session; there was no further recorded public debate or amendment to the motion.
Votes at a glance: the court approved the motion to pursue sale and authorize negotiation; the motion was made by Commissioner Michael Raskin, seconded by Commissioner Philip Cox, and the presiding judge announced the motion carried.
