Commission authorizes sale of county parcel S 641 to E911 to fund EMA building
Summary
Benton County commissioners approved a resolution authorizing County Mayor Brett Lashlee to negotiate sale of county parcel S 641 to the E911 District; proceeds will be applied to construction of an Emergency Management Agency building under the CDBG grant project.
Benton County commissioners on Aug. 17 authorized County Mayor Brett Lashlee to negotiate the sale of county-owned parcel S 641 to the E911 District, with proceeds earmarked for construction of a Benton County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) building tied to a CDBG grant project.
The resolution, sponsored by Mayor Brett Lashlee and approved by roll-call vote, directs E911 to assume survey costs and have their legal representative draft the sale agreement for review by the county mayor and county attorney. The sale description in the resolution lists parcel identifiers (Map: 078J, Parcel: 015.01) and states the transfer will occur at a fair market or mutually agreed-upon value.
County officials said the intent is to apply sale proceeds directly to EMA construction tied to the county's CDBG grant. No dollar amount for the parcel sale was specified in the resolution, and the motion does not finalize a sale price; it authorizes negotiations and agreement drafting.
The commission approved the measure unanimously. The next steps are for E911 to prepare the draft sale agreement and for the mayor and county attorney to review the legal documents before any final transfer.
