Commissioners described the county tax sale as well attended, reported the auction portion likely ended around 12:15 p.m., and said many parcels sold though several with special conditions did not; they also discussed whether a prior appointment of Jeremy Myers as official bidder was recorded in the minutes.
Commissioner (S2) reported that the county tax sale, scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m., appeared to be well attended and that the auction portion was "probably over about $12:15 maybe." The speaker said many parcels were bid and sold, though some parcels advertised with special conditions did not sell. When the speaker left around noon, an estimated three parcels remained unpaid.
Commissioners discussed one specific parcel described as "partly in the river" and noted it was unbuildable: "You can't build on it." The parcel was identified as old and partially submerged; the transcript indicates attendees and staff were upfront with that condition during the sale.
Separately, Commissioners discussed a prior motion to appoint Jeremy Myers as the county's official bidder on tax-sale matters. Commissioner (S3) said the appointment may have been made earlier but was not recorded in the minutes; the group agreed to verify the record. The transcript does not show a formal recorded appointment at this meeting nor a subsequent roll call confirming that appointment.
A motion was made and seconded to place delinquent-taxes follow-up on a future agenda; the transcript records the motion and the second but does not include a recorded vote in the captured segment. No financial totals or final parcel lists were provided in the public portion of the transcript.
