Committee votes to recommend sale of contiguous excess‑lands parcel to adjacent owner
Summary
The committee unanimously recommended that the Diversion Authority approve sale of a contiguous excess‑lands parcel (referenced in the transcript as OIN 7249) to an adjacent landowner, with a stipulation that the parcel remain intact and any later exchanges be managed by the new owner.
The Land Management Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Diversion Authority approve sale of an excess‑lands parcel to an adjacent owner, with a condition that the parcel be sold as one contiguous tract.
Mister Fisher reported that the parcel (referenced in the transcript as "OIN 7249") has been in the excess‑lands program since April 2024 and summarized prior outreach to nearby owners, including earlier interest from a southern neighbor that fell through. Fisher recommended selling the parcel in full to the adjacent owner to avoid landlocked pieces and to simplify future exchanges, which would be the responsibility of the new owner.
A committee member moved an amendment specifying the parcel must remain intact as one owner takes it; Zimmerman seconded. The clerk conducted a roll‑call vote and all members recorded yes. The chair declared the motion carried and said the recommendation will be forwarded to the full Diversion Authority for final approval.
The committee’s action was a recommendation; final sale requires the Diversion Authority board’s approval and any conveyance processes required by policy.
