He recommended directing Public <br />Works Director Rich Szpyrka to return to the Board during the due -diligence <br />period with an estimate of the site -improvement costs. County Attorney Dylan <br />Reingold clarified that the 15 -day due -diligence period, stated in the <br />Commercial Contract, would give the buyer the opportunity to decide if the <br />property would be suitable for their needs. <br />Commissioner Zorc then mentioned that the property was sold to the current <br />owner in March of 2020. Emergency Services Director Tad Stone stated that <br />he had looked at the property when the parcel was on the market previously, but <br />there was not access to 18th Street, as the access easement was not available to <br />be purchased at the time.

He made mention that <br />water and sewer were readily available at the location being discussed, and he <br />spoke in favor of the purchase. <br />Discussion ensued among Commissioner O'Bryan, Commissioner Zorc, and <br />Chief Stone related to the limited availability of parcels of land in the area. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan did not feel it was necessary to direct staff to return <br />with site -improvement costs prior to the close of the due -diligence period. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Vice Chairman <br />Flescher, to approve staffs recommendation.
