Information
Request/Subject
Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 305-10-022D.
Background Information
On October 18, 2010, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 305-10-022D to the State of Arizona c/o Board of Supervisors because the previous owner did not pay taxes on the subject property for 7 consecutive years. Per the Treasurer, this property is a small sliver of road in Young.  The property adjoins Gila County Assessor parcel number 305-10-020B, which is owned by Russell Griffith and Janine Schmitz.

In December 2020, the Board of Supervisors held its annual auction and this property did not sell; therefore, it was added to a list of properties that are available for sale year-round. The lien amount for this property is $363.32. Mr. Griffith and Ms. Schmitz have submitted a bid less than the lien amount for the Board of Supervisors' consideration. If the Board accepts the bid, Mr. Griffith and Ms. Schmitz intend to combine the parcels. They want to purchase the property to improve the easement to their property (parcel number 305-10-020B).
Evaluation
On May 7, 2020, the Clerk of the Board received this sealed by from Mr. Griffith and Ms. Schmitz to purchase the subject parcel.

Gila County Resolution No. 15-05-05 states, " WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors may waive the requirement to sell the property for no less than the total lien amount if a condition warrants selling a parcel at a lesser price."
Conclusion
It would be advantageous for the Board of Supervisors to consider a bid that is less than the lien amount; whereby, if the property is sold, it will go back on the County's tax rolls.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider the bid for the purchase of tax parcel number 305-10-022D
Suggested Motion
Information/Discussion/Action to consider a sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's tax parcel number 305-10-022D and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Marian Sheppard)
