This was for Fire District No. 11 to provide fire and emergency medical services support for Public Works. The Fire District can charge us a reasonable amount. There were previous concerns about the precedence this may set. Services the County provides the Fire Districts include the Treasurer's Office receipts property taxes and other revenues for the districts and the Auditor's Office processes their warrants which is about$28,857 worth of services.

A purchaser is actively being worked with for lot 7 and 8 and has met with Planning and submitted a request. For the expired offer,earnest money in the amount of$5k per parcel was received. The offer for lot 4 needed to prove their financing and they've submitted their pre-approval letter. Cmmr.Neatherlin added that for the expired offer if the County were to extend the offer all feasibilities will be gone and non-refundable earnest money of$5k for each parcel must be given,however he Page I 1 recommends putting the parcel back on the market.
