SPECIAL MEETING QUIT CLAIM DEED PROSECUTOR
At 10:00 a.m. Chairman Wright opened a Special Meeting to consider a
Resolution approving a Quit Claim Deed to the City of Ellensburg.
Chris Horner, Deputy Prosecutor explained how Kittitas County does
not have any productive use for the Tax Title Property however; Mr.
and Mrs. Goninan have expressed interest in purchasing the real
property commonly known as 514 W. 12th Avenue Ellensburg, WA (Parcel
#383133), noting he owned the adjacent piece. The City of Ellensburg
owns and operates utility lines located beneath the surface of the
parcel and prevents any building or other structure from being
placed upon the property. The property owner said he would give an
easement for utilities to the City.
At 10:05 a.m. Chairman Wright announced the Board would recess into
Executive Session with Chris Horner Deputy Prosecutor, for 10
minutes to consider the minimum price at which real estate will be
offered for sale or lease when public knowledge regarding such
consideration would cause a likelihood of decreased price. However,
final action selling or leasing public property shall be taken in a
meeting open to the public. Possible action was anticipated.
At 10:15 a.m. the Board reconvened out of Executive Session. The
Board offered to sell the Tax Title property in the amount of
$4,500.00 and to recoup the fixed costs (Staff time, back taxes,
etc.) and to direct Staff to prepare enabling documents including a
