Chair: County sold 8.33 acres for $45,000; contract signed, closing date pending
Summary
The Marion County Chair announced the county sold an 8.33-acre parcel for $45,000; a staff member confirmed the sale contract is signed and that closing—estimated on or before July 17—has not been scheduled and depends on the title company (Security 1st).
The Chair announced that Marion County sold an 8.33-acre parcel for $45,000 and confirmed the contract has been signed, though the closing date remains undetermined.
The staff member said, "It is signed and, Lyle has it," confirming county staff hold the signed agreement. The staff member added the written contract estimates a closing on or before July 17 but cautioned that Lyle did not expect the process to move that quickly and that timing "just depends on the title company." The staff member identified Security 1st as the likely title/closing company.
The Chair publicly stated the sale price and acreage, saying, "We did sell at 8.33 acres for $45,000. $5,000 an acre." The staff member said that the amount appeared in the minutes even though it was not in their notes and apologized for not prompting the board to announce the amount earlier.
Board members and staff also discussed whether any court action had been filed related to the sale. The staff member said no complaint or court filing was known to them and that no court document had been filed when asked.
No formal vote on the sale was recorded during the discussion. The contract signing and price were described as completed actions; staff indicated the remaining steps are title processing and scheduling a closing date.
Next steps identified in the discussion: the signed contract remains with Lyle and the closing will proceed through the title company, with timing dependent on that company's processing.
