Board authorizes title report and abandoned‑property litigation for 326 3rd Street in Washburn
Summary
The Board authorized the facilities director to obtain a title report, issue a final demand and, if necessary, initiate abandoned‑property litigation under "Iowa code 6 57 a" for the property at 326 3rd Street, Washburn, after staff said they had not received requested renovation contract documentation.
County staff asked the board to authorize pursuing a title report and then initiating abandoned‑property litigation for 326 3rd Street in Washburn under the cited statute "Iowa code 6 57 a." Staff said they had sought but not received a contract for renovations tied to the house, and described the requested next steps: a final written demand, a title report and filing in district court if the demand period expires without response.
A supervisor asked what form the motion should take; staff asked for authorization to obtain the title report and proceed with the 6 57 a procedure. The board moved, seconded and approved the action authorizing staff to order the title report, set a final demand and initiate the statutory abandoned‑property process if the demand period passes without response.
The transcript did not specify the contract(s) staff requested or the expected timeline for the demand period; staff will return with further progress as the title report and demand process proceed.
