Dolores County moves forward under contract to buy 13.49 acres for $15,000
Summary
The board authorized entering a contract to purchase a roughly 13.49‑acre parcel for $15,000; staff recommended title work and a survey and said closing could occur quickly once paperwork is complete.
County staff briefed commissioners on a potential county purchase of a 13.49‑acre parcel across County Road 13 for $15,000. The proposed contract requires title insurance and a survey; staff recommended Huddleston for surveying and a local title company for closing work and said deadlines in the draft were staggered to accommodate staff availability.
A commissioner moved to proceed under contract for the purchase and the board approved the motion by voice vote. Staff noted an appropriation resolution will be needed at closing and that the county already has an existing facility on the parcel; staff also discussed that appraisals were likely unnecessary given the small purchase price but noted environmental review is optional if the board prefers caution.
The motion passed on a voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll‑call tally. Staff said county staff would administer the contract, schedule survey work, and move toward closing when ready.
