Summary
Dickinson County commissioners on Dec. 19 approved a resolution authorizing judicial foreclosure and sale of tax-delinquent properties and granted two cereal malt beverage licenses while holding multiple executive sessions.
Dickinson County commissioners on Dec. 19 approved a resolution authorizing judicial foreclosure and sale of tax-delinquent real estate and approved two cereal malt beverage (CMB) licenses, the commission said during its regular meeting.
The commission voted to adopt Resolution 12-19-24, authorizing judicial foreclosure and sale of real estate and interests in real estate located in Dickinson County. County staff said the planned tax-sale paperwork covers parcels with unpaid assessments dating from 2017 through 2023; county staff indicated 35 parcels were included. County staff member Doug told the commission he would move forward with the required paperwork if the commission approved the resolution. The motion was moved, seconded and carried.
The commission also approved a CMB license for Enterprise Mini Mart and a CMB license for All 4 Seasons. County staff said the township had approved the Enterprise Mini Mart license and the board completed the final approval at the meeting. Both license motions were moved, seconded and passed with aye votes.
A consent agenda passed at the start of the meeting. The consent items listed payroll of $105,507.73, payments of $2,064.98, added tax of $1,523.48, small escape-tax amounts and a credit-card/wire payment of $30,533.35; wire utilities of $10,637.85 were also listed in the consent summary announced at the meeting.
The commission moved into multiple executive sessions during the meeting, including an initial session scheduled for roughly 20 minutes and a later session for non-elected personnel of 15 minutes. Commissioners voted to enter and later leave executive session as recorded on the agenda; county staff later stated that no action was taken during at least part of the executive-session period.
County staff said contracts for court-appointed attorneys will appear on next week’s docket.
