MEMORANDUM

TO: Timothy Navarre, Assembly President

Members, Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly

THRU: Dale L. Bagley, Mayor

THRU: Max J. Best, Planning Director

FROM: Roy E. Dudley, Land Management Agent

DATE: June 24, 2002

SUBJECT: Ordinance 2002-24 Authorizing the Sale of 17 parcels of Borough Land by Outcry Public Auction

KPB 17.10.070(A) directs that two land sales be conducted each year. One sale is the tax foreclosure outcry auction. The other sale is a competitive market value sale.

The subject ordinance recommends 17 parcels for sale by outcry public auction. Maps showing the location of each parcel are attached.

Land Management staff reviewed the land bank inventory and recommended the 17 parcels based on size, price, location, soil conditions, and access. Land Management staff felt it was important to recommend parcels for which there was perceived market demand.

The outcry public auction will be held in the Assembly Chambers of the Borough Administration building on September 28, 2002. Brochures will be available on August 26, 2002, and the newspaper advertisement will begin August 28, 2002 to meet the advertising requirements of KPB 17.10.110. The brochures will delineate the parcels and explain the outcry public auction process and procedures. All parcels will have the front property corners marked and sale signs posted.

Parcels that do not sell at the outcry public auction will be added to the ongoing over-the-counter land sale authorized by Ordinance 2001-31, Section 5.
