Summary
The Polk County Board of Commissioners approved a request from the Middle-Snake-Tamarac Rivers Watershed District to transfer FEMA buyout Parcel 37.00068.01 to Polk County Planning and Zoning, contingent on verification of FEMA contract terms and removal of all structures via quitclaim deed.
The Polk County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on June 23, 2026, to accept a request from the Middle-Snake-Tamarac Rivers Watershed District to transfer FEMA buyout Parcel 37.00068.01 to Polk County Planning and Zoning. Commissioner Ross Pape moved for approval and Commissioner Paul Reese seconded; the motion passed on a unanimous vote recorded in the minutes.

The minutes state that the transfer will proceed to Polk County Planning and Zoning once those conditions are satisfied.
The minutes do not specify further timelines, intended use, or funding changes related to the parcel. The board adjourned after routine business; its next regular meeting is scheduled for July 7, 2026.
