8. SALE OF COUNTY PROPERTY OBTAINED THROUGH SHERIFF'S SALE
Presenter:
Mr. Chris Sharp
Description:
Properties foreclosed for taxes and sold at a "Sheriff's Sale" must sell for a minimum bid which is the lower of the adjusted value or the taxes due plus costs of the sale. In some cases this puts the price above what people will pay at a "Sheriff's Sale." Those properties which do not sell are then held in trust by the county/school tax office. The law provides that they can be offered for sale by sealed bids or auction without a minimum bid at a later date.
A listing of those properties and additional information is attached at pages 5 through 6. Board approval is required because the properties are held in trust by Potter County. The Potter Tax Assessor/Collector recommends acceptance of these bids as this puts the property back in production and on the tax rolls. The motion should authorize the Chairman of the Board of Regents to execute the Tax Deeds transferring these properties to the successful bidders. After discussion, the Board may wish to authorize the chair of the Board of Regents to execute the Tax Deeds. |

In following the current urban design standard for the City of Amarillo, Amarillo College was requested to purchase pedestrian street lights. The City of Amarillo will maintain the lighting and pay the energy cost after the dedication has been made.
