County councilor reports tax-sale results, updates on easements and pending projects
Summary
Riley County Councilor Jake Pinson reported all properties offered at the recent tax sale sold, described ongoing easement work for a sewer project and listed pending RFPs and records requests his office is handling.
Jake Pinson, Riley County Councilor, gave commissioners a briefing on pending county projects and the recent tax sale. Pinson said the county sold every property offered at the sale; two homes sold for amounts he described in the meeting, and several parcels attracted competitive bidding that increased sale proceeds.
Pinson also updated the board on several pending matters his office is handling, including a Prairie Paws Bridal Shelter Services fee renegotiation (completed), work on a First Christian Church RFP, and the Keith sewer project, where easement descriptions from BG Consultants remain outstanding. He said the easement skeletons are drafted and the office is waiting for BG to provide descriptions so the easements can be finalized.
Pinson reported the county is finalizing an electronic medical records RFP in coordination with the health department and confirmed his office is responding to subpoena and records requests related to election matters. Pinson said he planned to notify property owners about fence-view determinations and that a status hearing in a criminal case was scheduled; he described those as procedural next steps rather than immediate changes to county policy.
Pinson’s remarks provided a project-level status update and did not include board action; commissioners asked follow-up clarifying questions about the tax sale process and easement timelines.
