Board authorizes conditional transfer of ‘Lazy’ property under CDBG terms
Summary
The Hancock County Board voted 5-0 to authorize the transfer of a property referenced as the 'Lazy' (Magnolia) property under CDBG requirements, contingent on county attorney review and consultation with the county administrator; discussion noted an outstanding pass-through insurance amount of about $22,000.
The Hancock County Board of Supervisors authorized the transfer of a property described in meeting materials as the 'Lazy' property (Magnolia/CDBG related) on Jan. 12, approving the action conditional on county attorney review and consultation with the county administrator.
Blaine Lafontaine raised concerns about outstanding contractual items and recommended limiting any hold on transfer paperwork to the specific pass-through insurance amount, which he estimated at roughly $22,000, rather than withholding transfer for all debts. The board moved to amend the agenda to allow consideration of the transfer and then passed a motion authorizing the transfer conditioned on county attorney approval; both motions carried 5-0.
The authorization explicitly referenced CDBG (KCDBG as discussed in the meeting) compliance and asked the county attorney and county administrator to review transfer documents before execution. The board did not finalize the transfer at the meeting; the vote authorized closing consistent with the stated conditions.
The action instructs county staff and legal counsel to prepare closing documents subject to the stated conditions; the county attorney will advise on whether outstanding amounts should be withheld from proceeds or otherwise secured before transfer.
