Should two or more property owners notify us of a desire to purchase the property, we must accept sealed bids. RECOMMENDATIONS• The subject property has a value of less than $5,000 and Ms. O'Dare has made an official request to purchase the parcel. Staff request permission to notify Ms. O'Dare of the procedure and authorize us to proceed with the action necessary to make the property available for sale to her at a price set by the Board. Commissioner Bird felt the value of this property was certainly in excess of $100.
