Commissioners authorize Emergency Management director to sign LOI for 620 N Mill St., hire appraiser
Summary
Whitman County authorized Emergency Management Director Bill Tensfeld to sign a non-binding letter of intent and to engage an appraisal company for property at 620 N Mill Street in Colfax as part of potential county real estate negotiations.
The Whitman County Board on May 18 authorized Emergency Management Director Bill Tensfeld to sign a non-binding letter of intent and to enter into negotiations for real estate at 620 N Mill Street in Colfax. Commissioner Handy successfully moved to amend the authorization to include hiring an appraisal company; Commissioner Swannack restated the motion "to authorize Bill Tensfeld... and to hire an Appraisal Company." The motion carried.
County staff described the authorization as an initial step toward possible acquisition for emergency management needs; hiring an appraiser was added to ensure the county has an independent valuation before advancing negotiations. The board did not take final action to acquire property and directed staff to proceed with non-binding negotiations and appraisal procurement.
