Consider Tax Forfeited Properties
Annually, Building and Zoning Administrator Steve Rohlf receives
information from the county regarding tax forfeited properties. Steve then
identifies the sites and, in consultation with other department heads,
evaluates whether or not the city should pursue acquiring these parcels.
Attached is a map from Steve showing the five tax forfeited properties that
are currently under consideration.
I concur with Steve's recommendations in that we should pursue Parcel A
and C. However, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain Parcel A for the
taxes due amount, and if the price increases significantly because of market
value, then we would not recommend pursuing this parcel. This property is
directly north of the city-owned business park lot off of Joplin Street and the
land use designation is for commercial activity in the BP zone. At this time
we should at least indicate our interest in this parcel. Likewise we should
indicate our interest in Parcel C if the city engineer thinks that we need this
parcel in order to preserve drainage patterns.
I will offer additional comments on Parcels A and C and why we don't think
we should pursue Parcels B, D, and E at Monday's meeting.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the city pursue Parcel A and C and not pursue
Parcels B, D, and E.
