Benton County sells two small properties; proceeds directed to conservation projects
Summary
The board authorized sealed‑bid sales of two county parcels — the Animal Shelter (sale awarded Feb 10 for $37,000) and the Cherveny Wildlife Area (bid awarded April 14 for $20,500) — with proceeds designated for Benton County Conservation capital projects.
Benton County opened sealed bids and sold two county properties in winter and spring 2026. The Animal Shelter property was awarded to the high bidder, Chris Lacey, for $37,000 at an open bidding session on February 10 and the board passed Resolution #26‑8 to transfer deed via quitclaim and to assign proceeds to Benton County Conservation.
Separately the Cherveny Wildlife Area (7.15 acres) was posted for sealed bids; the board authorized the notice and bid packet in March. Bids were opened on April 7 and the board approved the highest acceptable bid of $20,500 from Randy Patten on April 14 via Resolution #26‑24; proceeds were likewise directed to Benton County Conservation for capital projects.
Both sales followed the board’s standard sealed‑bid process with public notice, a minimum bid, and formal acceptance in open session. The board’s resolutions direct that transfer documents be prepared and that conservation receive the proceeds for capital use.
