Grant County board authorizes negotiations on proposed Extension & 4‑H property acquisition
Summary
At a Feb. 2 special meeting, the Grant County Court, acting as the board for the Extension & 4‑H Service Tax District, authorized Commissioner Mitch Wilson and Carol Waggoner to begin negotiations on a proposed real‑property acquisition following a closed executive session under state statute ORS 192.660(2)(e).
The Grant County Court, acting as the board of directors for the Grant County Extension & 4‑H Service Tax District, authorized the start of negotiations on a proposed property acquisition at a Feb. 2 special meeting.
Commissioner Mitch Wilson agreed to negotiate the real property transaction process with Carol Waggoner. Judge Hamsher moved to authorize Wilson and Waggoner to begin negotiations; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Rowell and "the motion carried," according to the meeting record. The authorization was recorded after the board returned to open session at 2:03 p.m.
Legal counsel Audrey Boyer told the board that any final actions or offers related to the transaction must be made at a formal County Court meeting; Judge Hamsher acknowledged that requirement. The minutes list the meeting as adjourning at 2:06 p.m. No dollar amounts, counterparty names, or dates for a follow‑up County Court meeting were specified in the record.
The action authorizes negotiations only; it does not constitute a binding purchase or final approval. The court’s next procedural step for any final agreement will be to schedule a County Court meeting where a formal offer or decision can be made.
