Commissioners direct staff to proceed with appraisal-based auction for Hayden Lake parcel
Commissioner Duncan summarized staff work on a county parcel at Hayden Lake and asked whether the board was satisfied with the appraisal and ready to place the property for sale. Craig Davidson, speaking for staff, said the parcel is buildable but has challenges such as steep slopes and power-line easements; Davidson presented comparative sales and an executive summary of the appraisal.

Commissioner comments favored moving forward with an auction listing and not holding the parcel, and no executive session was required for the appraisal discussion. Davidson confirmed the highway district and waterways had been consulted and declined constructive use of the parcel, which is why the county pursued appraisal and potential sale. Commissioners provided direction to proceed with the sale process under Idaho code and noted that minimum sale price guidance (a reserve) would come from the appraisal; staff will manage auction details.
