Board directs county attorney to prepare waiver of first refusal for 140 Jacobson Drive offer
Summary
Faced with a buyer offer for 140 Jacobson Drive, the board instructed the county attorney to prepare a waiver of Jackson County's right of first refusal limited to the current transaction and authorized the chair to sign once counsel prepares the document.
Lisa from the auditor's office presented a buyer offer and a draft waiver of Jackson County's right of first refusal regarding the property at 140 Jacobson Drive in Maquoketa. Board members expressed concern that the draft did not explicitly limit the waiver to this transaction and debated whether signatures and buyer details were adequately included. The auditor said the document as presented "hereby waives and releases [Jackson County's] right of 1st refusal" but agreed the board should require a tailored form.
After discussion the board voted to instruct the county attorney's office to prepare a waiver specific to the offer on the Jacobson property, with language limiting the waiver to this transaction and authorizing the chair to execute the prepared document. The county attorney's office said it would prepare the language within 24 hours.
