EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On December 4, 2018 your Board declared by Resolution that the property located at 8695 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville, California (APN 009-002-430) was surplus to the needs of the County and set a minimum bid price of $88,500 as well as establishing appropriate terms and conditions including payment of a real estate broker commission. On February 26, 2019 your Board approved Resolution 2019-23 which extended the date for consideration of written and oral bids from March 5, 2019 to March 26, 2019 allowing adequate time for public noticing.
Pursuant to Government Code § 25530 and 25531, all written bids shall be publicly opened, examined, and declared by the Board and before accepting any written bid, the Board shall call for oral bids. Oral bids are subject to the same terms and conditions as written bids and must exceed the highest responsible written bid by 5 percent and subsequent oral bids must also exceed the previous oral bid by 5 percent.
The highest bid, whether written or oral, from a responsible bidder which conforms to all terms and conditions previously specified shall be finally accepted or the Board may reject all bids. In determining which is the highest sealed proposal, the Board shall not subtract therefrom the commission, if any, which the proposal provides shall be paid to a licensed real estate broker.
If your Board should accept a final bid, an earnest money deposit of 4 percent of the purchase price shall be deposited in an escrow account by the winning bidder by 2:00 P.M. on, August 14, 2018. The earnest money deposit shall be refundable only within the first 30 days of escrow.
