Officials recap busy tax sale; minutes unclear on appointment of Jeremy Myers
Summary
Commissioners said the county tax sale was well attended and largely completed; one participant estimated only about three parcels remained. Separately, members discussed an apparent motion to appoint Jeremy Myers as an official bidder that does not appear in the published minutes.
Commission members said the county tax sale, held on a Saturday, was well attended and largely completed by early afternoon.
"I was there about 3 hours. It was very well attended," Speaker 2 said, adding that the auction portion likely ended "about 12:15" and that people remained in line to pay afterward. Speaker 2 estimated "there were only, like, 3 parcels left" when they left. Participants noted that parcels with special conditions — including one partly in a river that cannot be built on — did not sell.
Separately, members discussed whether the commission had formally appointed Jeremy Myers as an official bidder. Speaker 3 said, "I thought that through the tax sale, I'm pretty sure that we made a motion to appoint Jeremy Myers," but later acknowledged that "it was not in the minutes that we appointed him as our official bidder." Members said they would check earlier minutes and records to confirm whether and when any appointment occurred.
What it means: The tax sale discussion provides local context on property disposition and public participation. The Myers appointment is unresolved in the meeting transcript and requires staff to verify the minutes before any formal statement of appointment can be made.
Next steps: Staff will review previous minutes and records to confirm whether an appointment was made; the commission will note any clarifications in the official minutes.
