Summary
The Washington County Board of Supervisors voted 6‑0 to extend an option agreement related to property associated with Dr. Lapis from Oct. 31, 2024 to April 30, 2025 at 5 p.m.; all other terms remain unchanged.
County counsel briefed the board on an option agreement tied to property associated with Dr. Lapis and asked the board to extend the option term to allow more time for funding alignment and review. Supervisor Snodgrass moved to extend the option term from Oct. 31, 2024 until April 30, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.; the motion was seconded and approved by a 6‑0 voice vote.
Details and context: Counsel said the extension would not change any other terms or conditions of the option agreement and that the extension was requested to preserve the opportunity while potential state funding and local conditions continue to develop. The board recorded the motion and the chair announced the vote as six in favor, none opposed.
Outcome and next step: The extension was authorized; staff were directed to notify the option holder and to return to the board if further action is required. The meeting recessed until a special session on Nov. 12.
Quote: "I'll make a motion that we allow the extension," Supervisor Snodgrass said before the board approved the measure.
Procedural note: The motion and vote were recorded during the meeting's general business section; no additional fiscal appropriation was made on the motion.
