County reviews potential Morrow property sale and storage lease terms
Summary
Officials discussed a Morrow property valued at about $4.946 million, raised concerns about title and building conditions, and said a new lease for storage with the detention facility is being drafted; no sale or acceptance vote was recorded.
Ballard County commissioners reviewed a potential property sale in Morrow and related storage/lease arrangements.
Speaker 2 said the property's assessed value is near $4,946,000 and described two buildings—one larger and one smaller—while noting the need for a title search and closer inspection of building conditions (including older roofing fasteners from the late 1980s and early 1990s). Speaker 2 asked whether staff had reviewed bills and title history; staff indicated they had not completed that work and recommended not negotiating until title and condition were verified.
Separately, the board discussed equipment purchased for county parks and the potential for the detention facility to provide storage. Speaker 4 said any use of that space would await a new lease agreement, and Speaker 2 said they would not proceed until terms were clear.
Speaker 2 asked for a motion to accept the property; the request for the motion was recorded but the transcript does not show a vote or final outcome on acceptance. Staff follow-up (title search and negotiation steps) was requested before any formal action.
