Pine County approves retroactive set‑asides from land and timber sale proceeds (20% parks, 5% blight, 5% timber)
Summary
Board approved a retroactive resolution to designate set‑aside percentages from land/timber sale proceeds—20% for parks, 5% for blight cleanup and 5% for timber development—to correct an omission discovered in the audit for 2025.
County staff explained that an audit found the 2025 set‑aside resolution had not been completed and recommended a retroactive resolution that repeats 2024 rates: 20% for parks, 5% for blight cleanup and 5% for timber development. The staff representative told the board the allocation is an annual statutory designation and described how rates are applied to land sale funds.
Board members asked whether the same procedure had been completed for 2026; staff confirmed it had been handled in March. Commissioners approved the retroactive set‑aside resolution by roll call with one commissioner recorded in opposition.
