Board approves intent to sell surplus property; minimum bid set at $1,000,000
Summary
The board approved Resolution 25-26-105 declaring intent to sell surplus real property, invite sealed bids (minimum bid $1,000,000; $50,000 deposit), and declare the project CEQA-exempt. One trustee advocated raising the minimum to $1.5 million but the board left the opening bid at $1,000,000 to attract bidders.
The Auburn Union School District board approved Resolution 25-26-105 to declare intent to sell surplus property and invite sealed bids. The staff presentation noted a minimum opening bid of $1,000,000 and a required $50,000 deposit; the bid deadline was set for May 14 in the materials presented to the board.
One trustee said they preferred a higher minimum opening bid, asking to raise it to $1,500,000 "because that piece of property has a much bigger value," but other trustees and staff noted that a lower starting price might draw more interest. After discussion the board approved the resolution; vote calls included one trustee registering an "I" with a caveat on the minimum bid and the motion passed with the ayes.
The clerk will return to the board at a later date to review sealed bids and the board retains discretion to accept or deny bids once received.
