Agenda Text
The Board is requested to receive a presentation on the County Property Assessment Factors to be used when analyzing County-owned properties. Following a presentation of County-owned Properties at the November work session, the Board had a follow-up discussion at the November 27, 2018 Board retreat where Commissioners shared their thoughts regarding their review considerations of County-owned properties that are underutilized, vacant, or present an opportunity for higher priority uses.
The attached Property Assessment Template highlights information the Board may want to consider when reviewing County-owned properties for alternative uses. At the direction of the Board, and as each parcel is considered, the Property Assessment would be brought to a work session for discussion and direction to the staff. Rather than being a comprehensive analysis of each parcel, this this tool is intended to provide a framework for preliminary discussion and a basis for directing the further evaluation of those factors that are most relevant to each parcel.
The Board has been provided with a sample Property Assessment of 907 East Main Street. Staff seeks feedback from the Board so that any refinements needed can be incorporated, and the Board can begin to use this tool to assist in evaluating the six parcels discussed at the Retreat in November.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: The attached Durham County Property Assessment Factors supports Goal 5 "Accountable, efficient and visionary government".
