Summary

Commissioners approved a set of 12 SOGC division orders to clean up small mineral-rights interests under county properties and easements; staff said the decimal interests were very small and the orders will clear long-standing paperwork issues.

County staff said the division orders are intended to tidy up older mineral-rights and division-of-interest records tied to county property and easements. The court heard that the amounts involved were very small (one example cited a decimal interest of 0.00005175) and that staff had been working to get the records finalized. A motion to approve and fill out the division orders was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.

Staff said the approvals will allow the clearing of held funds and finalize paperwork with the company that was holding amounts while the matters were resolved.
