County reviews and moves to accept five full-price bids on struck-off tax-sale parcels
Summary
Officials presented five full-price bids on previously struck-off tax-sale parcels, including bids from Troy and Robin Bishop, Pamela McFarland, Don and Amelia Wheeler, Don Taylor Wheeler and Lumisphere LLC; a motion to accept the five bids was made, but the transcript does not record a vote.
Unidentified Speaker 4 reviewed several properties that previously went to tax sale and were struck off; the speaker said each now has a full-price bid and listed the parcels and bidders:
- T00562 (Commercial 11997, Lots 168 and 169, Middle Section C): Troy and Robin Bishop — $3,000. - T01992 (Parcel 14620, Lot 422 Section B, Kearney Harbor): Pamela McFarland — $500. - T02370 (Partial 15991, Lot 781 Section H, Pine Harbor): Don and Amelia Wheeler — $1,574.10. - T02375 (Parcel 16025, Lot 823 Section H, Pine Harbor): Don Taylor Wheeler — $622.05. - T02614 (Parcel 1526, Abstract 18 WH Burton): Lumisphere LLC — $1,612.17 (discussion in the transcript clarified the figure).
Unidentified Speaker 1 moved to accept the five full-price bids “as presented by Line Burton and Stacy” (transcript). There was back-and-forth clarifying the $612.17 vs. $1,612.17 figure; Speaker 4 confirmed $1,612.17. Speaker 4 noted more struck-off properties will be returned to the tax roll and that a listing will be published; participants referenced a March 3 posting and additional agenda items in early March (possible March 9 discussion).
Why it matters: Acceptance of full-price bids resolves ownership and returns low-value parcels to private stewardship while restoring tax-roll accounting. The transcript records the motion to accept bids; a recorded vote or tally for the motion is not present in the provided segments.
What’s next: The county will post lists for upcoming sales and return additional struck-off properties to the tax roll; the recorded motion’s formal approval is not confirmed in these segments.
