Board authorizes appraisal for three small Georgetown parcels
Summary
After discussing maintenance costs and sale rules under second‑class township code, the board authorized an appraisal of three small town‑owned parcels in Georgetown and agreed to approach adjoining owners first; the motion carried by voice vote.
The Gilpin Township Board authorized an appraisal for three small town‑owned parcels in Georgetown after members noted upkeep costs and questioned whether the township needed the parcels. "I am gonna go speak to the property owners of the adjoining and see if they have any interest... bring back to the body," one committee member said; the board then moved to authorize Jeremy to obtain an appraisal so the township can consider sale options.
Members cited the second‑class township code’s appraisal and sale thresholds: certified appraisal is required and parcels appraised under $6,000 may be sold without sealed bids, while higher values require sealed bidding. The board voted to authorize an appraisal and instructed the member to approach nearby property owners before formal sale steps.
