Resolution

WHEREAS, the following described tax title property (Parcel number 009800390000) was conveyed to Lewis County by the County Treasurer following an unsuccessful attempt to sell the property at the public auction; and

WHEREAS, the amount of unpaid taxes is $1,717.31 and miscellaneous Treasurer's fees. The County has received an offer to purchase the property for $7,250.00. The County has received an additional offer from an adjacent landowner to purchase the property in the amount of $23,000; and

WHEREAS, since the parcel is impractical to build on due to size and shape, RCW 36.35.150(1) allows for the properties to be disposed of by private negotiations without a call for bids, providing that the final sales price is no less than the principal amount of unpaid taxes.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the aforesaid offer in the amount of $23,000 for the property located off Elk Horn Drive in Packwood is accepted.

DONE IN OPEN SESSION this 27th day of February, 2024.
