A G E N D A C O V E R M E M O R A N D U M Memorandum Date: August 8, 2016 Agenda Date: August 23, 2016 ====================================================================== TO: Board of County Commissioners DEPARTMENT: Public Works PRESENTED BY: Jeff Turk, Property Management Officer 2 SUBJECT: ORDER/IN THE MATTER OF AUTHORIZING A SHERIFF S SALE OF SURPLUS COUNTY OWNED REAL PROPERTY ON OCTOBER 13, 2016 AND DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OFFICER TO REMOVE ANY PARTICULAR PROPERTY FROM THE SALE IF DETERMINED TO BE IN THE COUNTY S BEST INTEREST 1. PROPOSED MOTION: THE BOARD AUTHORIZES A SHERIFF S SALE OF SURPLUS COUNTY OWNED REAL PROPERTY ON OCTOBER 13, 2016 AND DELEGATES AUTHORITY TO THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OFFICER TO REMOVE ANY PARTICULAR PROPERTY FROM THE SALE IF DETERMINED TO BE IN THE COUNTY S BEST INTEREST 2. AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The Property Management division has identified properties surplus to the needs of the County that can be sold and returned to the tax roll. The Board is required to authorize a public sale (which will be in the form of an oral auction) setting the time, date and minimum bids for the parcels being offered. A sale date of October 13, 2016 is being proposed with the sale to be held in Harris Hall beginning at 11:00 AM. 3. BACKGROUND/IMPLICATIONS OF ACTION: A. Board Action and Other History The properties to be offered were acquired through tax foreclosure or were purchased for right of way purposes. Parcels 7-14 and parcel 28 on the attached schedule are road fund parcels. Parcel 26 was a foreclosed property that has been designated as County park land pursuant to a Board Order. The remainder of the parcels were acquired through tax foreclosure. Proposed terms of the sale are attached. The following is a brief summary: Properties will be sold as is with no warranties or guaranties as to their ability to be used for any particular purpose or the condition of title. Conveyance will be by Quitclaim deed.
A 25% deposit of the minimum bid will be required at the time of the sale for successful bidders. The balance of the sale price will be due in cash upon acceptance of the bids by the Board. No contract terms are being offered. B. Policy Issues Pursuant to LM 21.425 the County shall dispose of County property not otherwise needed for public purposes thereby returning the property to the tax role. ORS 275.030 requires tax foreclosed property to first be offered at a public sale. C. Board Goals A sale of the property would be consistent with the Board s goals to return surplus property to private ownership and the tax roll. D. Financial and/or Resource Considerations The Property Management program is self - funded from the revenue received from the sale of tax foreclosed property. Statutes provide for Counties to be reimbursed for expenses incurred managing tax foreclosed property with revenue exceeding expenses disbursed to all the taxing districts in the same manner as property taxes. Revenue from the sale of the right of way and park parcels will be disbursed to those programs. E. Health Implications Sale of surplus property will have positive effects by returning property to the tax rolls and by creating employment due to new construction or rehabbing existing structures. F. Analysis Minimum bids for the parcels were set using assessed values as a benchmark. Deviations from the assessed value were made based on further review of the parcels concerning condition of the parcels and any improvements on them, zoning, potential uses, access, legal lot status, review of comparable sales and other factors determining value. Delegating authority to the Property Management Officer to remove any of the parcels from the sale after it has been authorized by the Board allows for their expeditious removal should it be warranted due to advertising mistakes, boundary/ownership conflicts which may arise, problems with title and other similar circumstances that may arise (otherwise, a Board Order would be required). G. Alternatives/Options 1. Authorize the sale as presented. 2. Authorize a sale with different terms, properties offered, minimum bids or sale date. 3. Refrain from having a sale.
4. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that a public sale be approved as proposed. 5. TIMING/IMPLEMENTATION Statutes require notice of the sale to be published once per week for four weeks prior to the sale. 6. FOLLOW-UP Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, preparation for the sale will continue. Such preparation will include publishing the required notice in the Register-Guard, mailing sale notices to those who have requested one, mailing sale notices to adjoining owners of the parcels being offered and posting the sale information on the Property Management page of the County s website. 7. ATTACHMENTS Board Order Property List Sale Notice to be Published
