DEPT-3 ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION UPDATING THE LIST OF

COUNTY-OWNED PROPERTIES APPROPRIATE FOR AFFORDABLE

HOUSING UNDER RESOLUTION NO. 24-6.15, ADOPTED ON JUNE 18,

2024, AND AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF SUCH PROPERTIES THROUGH

PUBLIC AUCTION

This request is for the adoption of a resolution replacing Resolution No. 24-6.15, adopted

on June 18, 2024, which directed staff to sell two County-owned parcels through the

Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The new proposed resolution instead authorizes

staff to market and sell the properties through the County-approved auction process.

Public auctions have proven to be a more effective method of selling County-owned

property while also allowing for greater public participation and a more competitive sales

process.
