Summary
The County Commission authorized advertising and accepting competitive bids to harvest about 109.75 acres of timber on county-owned property in Benton County Industrial Park; the motion passed on a roll call vote (16 Ayes, 0 No, 2 Absent).
The Benton County Commission voted to authorize the mayor to advertise and accept competitive bids for the sale and removal of approximately 109.75 acres of timber on county-owned property in the Benton County Industrial Park.
The resolution says the sale would generate revenue to be deposited in Fund 171. The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Arnold and seconded by Commissioner Horton; the roll call recorded 16 Ayes, 0 No, and 2 Absent (the transcript notes Phil Melton stepped out briefly and was absent during the vote).
The packet indicates the county will apply proceeds from the timber sale to Fund 171 (Site Development). Commissioners discussed the item under the Property and Budget committees and approved moving forward with competitive bidding.
