* I believe that each of the 17 properties should be appraised
separately. They each have unique characteristics that would make some worth
more than others, such as proximity to utilities, elevation differences,
soil differences. What if a Buyer only wants a few of these properties? What
is the next door neighbor just wants to purchase one of the properties? Is
this to be an all or nothing sale? I don't believe that the requirement to
purchase all of these properties serve taxpayers,by getting the best price.
* A sealed bid does not allow the County to get the best price or
allows this to be a transparent process. An open auction is the best way to
get the best price and the way to open and above board dealings.
* The resolution says they will be "returned to service" as property
tax yielding land.-What are the anticipated yearly property taxes that will
be gained for this $8 million?
