Board approves realtor RFP to list county properties, cites Iowa Code authority
Summary
The board adopted a resolution selecting Meadows and Main Realty & Auction to list county property (including 1804 Douglas), citing Iowa Code section 331.361 as the legal authority for disposing of county real property.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to accept a realtor request for proposals and to contract a listing agreement for specified county properties.
Chair read the resolution aloud, saying the county "desires to dispose of interest in real property" and cited the county’s authority under Iowa Code section 331.361. The text noted the county solicited proposals, reviewed submissions and selected Meadows and Main Realty & Auction to serve as listing agent for parcels that include 1804 Douglas and other listed properties. "Therefore, be it resolved by the board of supervisors of Des Moines County that this real property will be disposed and that a listing contract...signed by the chairman of the board" was read as part of the motion.
Board action: A supervisor moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded and the board approved the resolution during the consent portion of the meeting.
What the record shows: The resolution and vote were recorded in the meeting minutes. The motion references Iowa Code section 331.361 as the statutory basis for disposal of county property and indicates county staff and the county attorney reviewed the RFP process before selection of the listing agent. The record did not include a contract number or detailed terms of sale; those were not specified during the meeting and will be provided when the listing contract is executed.
