Committee approves acquiring two parcels for Kent Trails corridor; back‑tax amount cited in staff materials
Summary
The committee supported a staff recommendation to acquire two parcels to secure the Kent Trails corridor; commissioners confirmed that the two‑parcel action is the first section of a larger acquisition plan and asked for clarifying maps.
The Operation and Policy Committee voted to support staff in acquiring two foreclosed parcels intended for the Kent Trails corridor.
During the item, commissioners asked for clarification about maps and parcel counts. Commissioner Pacla asked to confirm that the action covered two parcels; staff confirmed. A staff slide and discussion indicated the two parcels carry a combined back‑tax amount described in the meeting materials as $29.56 (as presented in the packet). The committee passed a motion supporting acquisition and the item will proceed to the full Board for final action.
No additional conditions were placed on the acquisition at the committee level; commissioners asked that staff continue to ensure maps and supporting materials are clear in the full‑board packet.
