Summary

County staff presented an appraisal concluding a Hayden Lake parcel is buildable though constrained by steep slopes and utility lines; commissioners directed staff to proceed with preparing the parcel for auction under Idaho code.

County staff presented an appraisal and executive summary for a Hayden Lake parcel and asked whether the board was satisfied with the appraisal and wanted the county to put the property up for sale at auction under Idaho code. Staff said other county units (highway district and waterways) had no use for the parcel, which an appraiser deemed buildable but with steep slopes and powerline easements.

Commissioners discussed whether to hold the parcel or auction it; one commissioner said it posed a liability and supported proceeding with sale. Staff indicated the appraisal included comparable sales and an executive summary, and commissioners directed staff to proceed with the sale process.

Ending: No final signed sale was completed at the meeting, but staff were instructed to move forward with auction preparations and follow the statutory sale process.
