Board accepts $65,000 bid for Good Shepherd Food Pantry building, will advertise for upset bids
Summary
The board accepted a revised $65,000 written bid for the former Good Shepherd Food Pantry building and authorized staff to publish the sale notice and allow the 10‑day upset bid period required for foreclosure sales.
Commissioners considered an existing written offer for the Good Shepherd Food Pantry building and were told the bidder lowered his original offer to $65,000. Staff explained the bidder will forfeit his earlier deposit under the rules and that the board must publish the sale and allow a 10‑day upset period before conveying title.
Staff said the original bid was $75,000, the revised bid is $65,000, and the initial deposit (5% of the first bid) will be forfeited if the bidder re‑offers a lower amount. The board moved to accept the $65,000 written offer and directed staff and the county attorney to publish the required notice and allow the upset‑bid period; the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff said if no upset bids are filed during the public notice period the county will proceed with closing and deposit accounting per the sale rules. Commissioners also directed that other surplus properties be assembled for a larger auction list to improve efficiency and transparency.
