Personnel & Finance Committee - Regular Meeting

Record. Minutes were passed. Motion by Smith approved. Go ahead. Reports to committee.

Reports to committee. We've been here, done this before. The role of this committee is to set a minimum bid for parcels that had been tax dated for nonpayment of taxes. We all of these have gone to auction except for one, and I know that they're still working on purchasing it back. And if they purchase it back, everything is good for them. I'm work talking to him. I'm still talking with their loan officer.

So Are you on the grid? Are you on the

Yes. I'm on the grid.

Not the ones that are listed. Are those the same ones?

They're the same ones. Okay. They're the same ones. I look I used the grid because it's just a

one No. No. No. I Yeah. I didn't Okay. Yeah. Which one was that?

If you look on the prior minimum bid right before the highlighted column Okay. There's one that does not have any values.

Oh, okay. All the way at bottom.

Yep. And I pulled it off last time because they were looking to start buying it back. They had not completed, and I said, well, let's keep working towards it, but we do need to kinda move forward, but I'll continue to work with you on that.

That's a trail side. Okay.

Yep. All the rest of these had been to a previous auction and working with the real estate coordinator, Shrin, and Chuck. We all all agreed that these were reasonable to provide as a recommendation. So I don't know if you want more information. Or Do

you have any questions on any, Sarah? You jump out at you in your district? That's why No. None of my district, and and no. No questions. Okay. So it looks like a couple of their actual properties, and then there's a lot of partial parcels in here.

Yeah. There's a lot of just tiny pieces of land.

Like, even if I see, like, a 110,000, that must be just a piece of land still. Right? Yeah.

The two that are at 1 one eleven are just pieces of land, but they are developable.

Oh, okay.

They're in a commercial area, and no one's bid on them. So we're recommending lowering them a little bit. Maybe someone will peak their interest. Which ones were those?

One ten? The ones that are 110?

Manufacturers drive

or no?

Yep. Manufacturers drive. Is that commercial? Yep. Those are commercial.

Alright.

Out there beyond the airport. And

Oh, okay. The airport wants them. And then everybody else you've been in contact with, there's the one for 300. Right. Silver alert. Now we're gonna have somebody Yep. Their car off their flat camera. Alright. Sorry. Yeah.

Not a license plate on a person. I'm like

I didn't I just grand glanced this was my brother. Okay. So that that's a house in Marshall, did it get done? That's The second from the bottom?

Yep. That's a house that's in Marshall. Individual does not live there, but goes back periodically. And I'm like, you know you don't own it, so we need to do a formal eviction or you can hand over the keys and we could bypass that. And that's where the discussion is at this point. She if

Are you holding off on it?

We still own it.

Oh, okay.

It can still be sold with occupancy. Right. But we are we're working with the courts and kinda came to an agreement that May 3 would be the kinda like, okay. We can't go much further.

Is that one on Bellen Street? Is that those are adjoining properties, looks like, from addresses?

Yep. They're adjacent properties. One of them is just land, and one of them is a very, rundown vacant, building.

And on the on the south side, you you still get good balance. Okay. If I don't have any other questions and Sarah? No. Oh, I have a question. Oh, go ahead.

Certainly. Sure. Did you say all of these have gone to auction?

Yeah. All of these had gone to auction except except for the trailer side. And the column before the highlighted one is what the prior minimum bid was.

Oh, I see.

So you can see how it changed as a recommendation.

And so so these action items approve appraisals. When you click on those links, it doesn't give you any appraisals. Are you just going off

No. It's column

that highlighted column?

Yeah. The by ordinance and by statute, it says appraised value. It doesn't say

Right.

And that does include whatever you guys decide. And

So the action items are approving the values in the highlighted column.

Or adjusting them as you feel appropriate.

So that one on Bellen, it Mhmm. The last bid was $2.75, and that wasn't accepted when the fair market was $2.73 to that. And that covers the taxes. Right? 41,000?

Yeah. That that covers that was the minimum bid, but we never did receive a bid on it.

Oh, so but it says prior those prior minimum bids with the chair just sent in the column right next to the highlighted one.

Yeah. That's the prior minimum bid.

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

That was approved by here on the I got in the minutes.

Yeah. Yeah. So none of those were

None of these received a bid that one. Purchased them.

So do we have to separate that trail side out or just

It can go with all the rest because we're going

Oh, you're gonna keep going on.

The yellow one.

Alright.

I'm sorry. Just just to be clear. Mhmm. So the minimum bids were set. That's prior minimum bid.

Mhmm.

Did you say there were no bids on these or none of the there were bids, but they didn't meet the minimum?

There were no bids on these. Every now and then, there's a bid that does not meet the minimum, but there were no bids on these.

K.

Is the minimum bid disclosed?

Yeah. It's, up on our website along with the bid form, and, it's also part of the minutes here and on the agenda.

K. Then are you good? Great. Okay. Then action items items one through 19, and those are the ones that we just saw, and those are in the resolution as well? The resolution is different.

The resolution is separate.

Okay. We'll take care of the these first then. Okay. So on action items one through 19, give a motion to approve the the minimum bid request? So moved. By Smith. Favorite say aye. Without objection, aye. Okay. Discussion items. Resolution three

Yeah. So this is the resolution that it's the p and f, not the subcommittee, that actually has the ordinances to oversee and vote on. It was referred here as well. So we need to Carlos said, well, see if we can put this in a discussion item, and then the decision here then would go to personnel and finance next

we had to go here first.

Well, just just because it got referred here. Not normally. Yeah. But that's alright. Oh, no. Sure.

Yeah.

So I don't know if you have

So the difference here is what? They have they've had no bids?

The discussion item resolution, they still own their property.

Oh, okay.

But this is Just one property? Yeah. Oh, okay. These 13 are still privately owned. They still can buy it back before we tax date it.

Oh, I see. Now I'm looking at them.

I still need to go out there, knock on doors, and say, hey. This is where we are, and we really need to get you caught up or this is what's gonna happen. And

So these are really just they've just passed the was it three years?

Four or Some of them multiple years. You can see the second one on the list is from 2021 to 2025. Some have just gotten to that three years. So three, four years is normal. The beginning of the

process? That was really good.

This is the beginning. Okay. Yeah.

Alright. So I guess you should go here or something. Alright. So any questions on Sarah? Okay. So those are new parcels that will be that he'll pursue. So I got a motion on that. So we need a motion, or it's just for discussion item?

Carlos said we could just do it as a discussion if Okay. But if you want a motion, we can

Well, if it's as a discussion item, I don't know.

Okay.

Do that. Hold on. I can't get back to the the link to the Alright. So I guess we'll bring it to finance the next meeting. Yep. Okay. Such other business do you have anything else?

None of my
