County approves sending unclaimed checks and sets public hearing on unredeemed property; Bayview Heights assessment notice cleared
Summary
Commissioners authorized sending five unclaimed checks to the state unclaimed-property process if not claimed by the adjusted deadline and set a public hearing for Nov. 5 to consider minimum-sale appraisals on unredeemed parcels; the Bayview Heights special-assessment notice was published and a public hearing held with no major opposition noted.
County staff asked for and received permission to proceed with unclaimed-property actions for several checks and to publish appraisals for unredeemed parcels, with a public hearing set for Nov. 5.
A county staff member explained: "Basically, all I need is permission to send these 5 checks to unclaimed property if they're not claimed by October 20," noting the office would follow notice procedures and that small amounts may not require additional mailed notice under the county's process. Commissioners moved and seconded the request and the motion carried.
Separately, staff presented parcels for appraisal in advance of a public hearing on the sale of unredeemed property. Commissioners approved publishing the appraisals and set a public hearing for Nov. 5 at 10:00 a.m. for anyone wishing to contest the proposed minimum sale prices. The commission also addressed the Bayview Heights special assessment public hearing notice; commissioners confirmed publication and the notice distribution to affected landowners. The transcript did not contain a clear, unambiguous per-lot assessment figure; minutes show the notice was discussed and no major opposition was recorded at the meeting.
What’s next: the county will publish the notices and hold the Nov. 5 public hearing on unredeemed property; staff will proceed with unclaimed-property procedures if checks remain unclaimed after the posted deadline.
