Commission accepts offer on two downtown parcels; purchase agreement shows $50,000 price
Summary
Commissioners unanimously accepted an offer to purchase two parcels (C08-0063 at 376 Broad St. and C08-0087 at 184 Wells St.). Meeting records include a purchase agreement showing a $50,000 purchase price and a limited warranty deed conveying the properties to the Unified Government.
At the Dec. 2 regular meeting the Commission voted unanimously to accept an offer to purchase two parcels identified as Map C08-0063 (376 Broad St.) and C08-0087 (184 Wells St.). The motion to approve and accept the offer was made by Commissioner Timothy Biddle and seconded by Commissioner Jason Frost.
Document copies attached to the meeting minutes include a purchase-and-sale agreement dated Dec. 5, 2025, that sets the purchase price at "Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00)" and a limited warranty deed executed on Dec. 5, 2025, conveying the parcels to the Unified Government. The deed itself lists consideration language common to deeds (stating TEN AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10.00) in the deed's recitation), while the sale contract records the $50,000 purchase price and a stated closing date. Meeting minutes show the board's vote to accept the offer but do not provide further detail on intended county uses for the properties.
The parcels are described in recorded legal descriptions attached to the deed and purchase agreement. County staff did not report a planned immediate development program at the Dec. 2 meeting; commissioners approved acceptance of the offer and instructed staff to complete the closing steps and conveyance paperwork. The acceptance motion and the attached purchase documentation will be reflected in county records when deeds are recorded in the clerk's office.
