Josephine County ratifies two Dimmick property sales, authorizes lease termination at 210 Tacoma
Loading...
Summary
The Board approved final Purchase & Sale agreements for 715 and 700 NW Dimmick to allow escrow and title processing and authorized the property manager to issue a 30‑day lease termination notice for 210 Tacoma; one Dimmick vote was 2–1 with Chair Ron Smith opposed.
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners on March 24 approved finalized Purchase and Sale agreements and addenda for two county properties on NW Dimmick and authorized a lease-termination notice for a Tacoma property.
County Real Property Manager Helene Lulich told the Board the agreements for 715 NW Dimmick and 700 NW Dimmick memorialize prior negotiations and extend the buyers' acceptance periods so escrow and title processing can proceed. The Board voted on 715 NW Dimmick with Commissioner Colene Martin moving the approval and Commissioner Gary Richardson seconding; the roll-call vote was Richardson yes, Martin yes, Chair Ron Smith no, and the motion carried 2–1. The Board took a separate but substantively identical vote on 700 NW Dimmick; that motion also passed 2–1.
Lulich also reported that escrow had opened on 210 Tacoma, that a deposit had been received, and that a lot-line adjustment is underway to separate a portion of the parcel ahead of anticipated Board action. She presented a proposed 30‑day lease termination notice for an existing lease associated with 210 Tacoma. Commissioner Gary Richardson moved to authorize the Property Manager to issue the notice; Commissioner Colene Martin seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board and staff characterized the Dimmick items as largely administrative steps to complete previously negotiated deals rather than new policy decisions. The 210 Tacoma direction preserves staff flexibility to complete the lot-line work and to clear title issues ahead of sale or further Board action.
Next steps: staff will proceed with escrow and title processing for the Dimmick properties and execute the lease termination notice for 210 Tacoma as authorized by the Board.
