No bids for Fairview or industrial park; staff flags 30-day statutory negotiation restriction
Summary
The commission opened the bid box for Fairview and industrial-park properties and found no bids. Staff reminded members of a statutory 30-day period during which the RDC may not negotiate on those properties; executive session negotiation would follow if and when the period ends and parties are available.
The chair opened the bid box for $3.14 Fairview and the industrial park and reported there were no bids. Following that announcement, a staff member reminded the commission that state statute imposes a 30-day period during which the RDC is not permitted to negotiate for those properties; once the period has ended, commissioners said an executive session could be scheduled for negotiation if necessary.
A committee member noted that Fairview presents an opportunity to resolve a partial road ownership issue (the parcel was said to own 0.5 of the road in one description), and commissioners agreed to continue discussions with potential prospects and partners. Staff characterized the lack of bids as routine for this interval and advised the commission on the statutory timeline for negotiations.
