Commissioners authorize $2,500 easement purchases to ensure access to tax‑forfeited parcels
Summary
The board authorized purchase of two access easements—across parcels owned by Mark and Christine Bartel and by Ryan Stefan—for $2,500 to ensure access to tax‑forfeited land being prepared for sale.
The county approved buying two access easements to ensure the public can reach a portion of tax‑forfeited land that the county will sell.
Chair described the parcels and explained the easements (across PID 32.088.000 and PID 32.0097.000) secure access to roughly 200 acres of forfeited land: "These are ensuring that we have access to the portion of tax forfeited land...Greg secured these easements...they're pretty decent prices for these easements." The board authorized purchasing the easements from Mark and Christine Bartel and Ryan Stefan for $2,500 to maintain county access as the land moves into sale and split into smaller parcels.
The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call. Commissioners said securing legal access preserves sale value and simplifies future transactions for the county.
