Harrison County members discuss appraisal, 99-year lease and a $9,600 offered payment

Members at a Harrison County meeting discussed appraisal adjustments for property improvements, the status of a 99-year lease, and an offered payment said to cover the remaining lease balance.

Member 1 noted appraisal adjustments if improvements are removed and referenced a 99-year lease: "If you take away improvements. But That's subject to the 99 year lease." Member 1 said someone had offered to pay $9,600 "which is the lease times the remaining balance on the lease of 79," and that the amounts would be included in an order and sent to a professional for a response. Member 1 said, "I'm gonna include in the order both of those amounts. There's a blank in the order, and I'll fill it out and send it to you. And then we'll send it to the professional and see what the response is."

Members also noted that Brandi attended the meeting and that prior votes to sell had been obtained previously, though no formal sale action or final approval was recorded in the transcript. Member 1 said, "They know that Brandi was here today," and later, "I was told they did have the votes to sell." Discussion included a historical note that securing a prior lease had been difficult due to a past director's personal objection.

No formal motion or vote on sale or lease terms appears in the transcript. Staff were directed to prepare order language including the amounts discussed and to forward the order to the appropriate professional for further response.
