Adopted: Agenda Item:
In July 2000, the County Treasurer and Tax Collector sent the City two Agreements to Purchase
Tax Defaulted Property for parcels 2836-030-045 and 2840-002-021. The County process is to have
our governing body endorse the agreement forms and return to their office for further processing
along with a resolution regarding the public purpose for the acquisition of the properties.
The total cost of acquisition for parcel # 2836-030-045 is $1,300 and the total cost of acquisition
for parcel # 2840-002-021 is $1,800. Maintenance cost for the property is expected to be minimal
and will be absorbed in the city's budget.
Transfer funds in the amount of $1,300 from the Council Contingency Fund Account 1240-7401
to account 4321-8620 for parcel 2836-030-045; and transfer funds in the amount of $1,800 from
the Council Contingency Fund Account 1240-7401 to account 7320-8620 for parcel 2840-002-021.
