County directs treasurer to begin notice to sell blighted 837 Idaho property to city redevelopment agency
Summary
The City of Elko redevelopment manager asked the board to allow the agency to acquire 837 Idaho (a boarded hotel) to remove blight; commissioners directed the county treasurer to give notice of intent to sell, starting the 90‑day period, after title search results are complete.
Cathy Laughlin, city planner and redevelopment manager for the City of Elko, asked the county to direct the county treasurer to give notice of intent to sell property at 837 Idaho to allow the city redevelopment agency to take action under NRS provisions that permit direct sale to requesting redevelopment agencies after a 90‑day notices process. Laughlin described the property as a blighted, boarded former hotel and said redevelopment would allow the city flexibility to eliminate blight and restore tax base.
Cheryl (county treasurer) said the office has ordered title searches and cautioned the board that notifications will begin only after title and notice details are confirmed; commissioners moved to direct the treasurer to give notice of intent to sell under the statute, the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Commissioner comments emphasized the property's long history of problems and the city's remediation options.
