Board considers selling small district parcel to hospital district; motion to sell at $50,000 recorded
Summary
After reviewing an $88,000 appraisal for a parcel adjacent to district property, the board discussed selling to the local hospital district for $50,000. A motion to sell was made and seconded; legal concerns about title and anti-donation were raised and will need attorney review.
Board members reviewed an appraisal listing a neighboring parcel at $88,000 and discussed a local hospital district’s interest in using the land for a clinic/physical-therapy expansion. Freddie Gonzales, participating in the discussion, said the hospital district would like time to coordinate lease expirations and asked whether the board would consider a lower sale price to facilitate the project.
The board discussed title irregularities and the need to consult attorneys to avoid an anti-donation issue if the parcel is sold below appraised value. Chair introduced a motion “to sell it to the hospital district for the asking price of $50,000,” which was made and seconded on the record. The transcript does not record a final vote; trustees asked staff to coordinate legal reviews and to work with county records to confirm ownership before finalizing any sale.
Because legal constraints could affect any below-appraisal sale, the board directed staff to obtain legal guidance and documentation of title prior to completing the transaction.
