Summary

A board member recommended obtaining an appraisal on a Thorsby parcel that borders County Road 50 and Chilton Street because it adjoins district property and may be part of a highway project; motion was moved and seconded and staff were directed to obtain the appraisal (vote tally not specified).

During board comments, a member reported that a landowner in Thorsby who owns property adjacent to district holdings expressed interest in selling. The member said the parcel "touches the current County Road 50 and Chilton Street" and recommended obtaining an appraisal because it could be involved in a highway project affecting district land. The member moved for an appraisal; the motion was seconded and opened for discussion about the parcel’s location and whether a house on the parcel would be included.

Board members located the parcel on the map during the meeting and discussed next steps. The transcript records the motion, second and discussion but does not provide a roll-call tally. The board directed staff to pursue the appraisal and report back; the facilities or operations department was noted in discussion as the likeliest assignee to handle the appraisal request.

Next steps: staff to obtain an appraisal and return findings to the board for any future acquisition or coordination tied to the highway project.
