RE: Approval of a request to list the former Mt. Morris Court and the Flushing Court buildings for sale via sealed bid
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a request to list the former Mt. Morris and Flushing Court buildings for sale via sealed bid.
BACKGROUND:
The 67th District Court vacated the former Mt. Morris and Flushing satellite court buildings last year. Those buildings have no future use for Genesee County. Per policy 04.001: Sale/Disposal of Real Property, the Director of Administration must seek permission from the Board to sell any real property. Once the Board has approved the sale, the Director of Administration must determine if the sale is to be made via sealed bid or with a licensed realtor.
DISCUSSION:
It is the recommendation of the Director of Administration to sell these two properties, 11820 N Saginaw St and 1415 Flushing Rd, via a sealed bid process. For each property, there shall be a minimum bid requirement. The minimum bid for 11820 N. Saginaw St., Mt. Morris MI shall be $230,000.00. The minimum bid for 1415 Flushing Rd., Flushing MI shall be $425,000.00. Both properties shall be available for a 30-day period. All bid submissions should be advertised and handled through the Genesee County Purchasing Division of Fiscal Services in accordance with our Purchasing Policy. The Board will have the right to reject or accept any bid.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There will be no impact on HR with this resolution.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
This move will have a positive impact on budget. Through the disposition of these two unused facilities, Genesee County will realize revenue from the sale and a reduction in cost and overhead by offloading the facilities.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
This move will benefit Facilities by reducing the number of buildings they are required to maintain.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
There should be no significant impact on IT.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
The Genesee County Board of County Commissioners have prioritized the Long-Term Financial Stability of the County. Through consolidation and reduction of our physical foot-print, Genesee County is working to reduce unnecessary costs for our residents.
