Darryl Pheasant, Treasurer, discussed the verbiage used on the Assessor's website about the use of
"Trinidad" or "Trinidad Resurvey" in the legal description. Which is supposed to be used? Andy Booth
will verify with staff. Discussion ensued about a road vacation and another potential parcel. Mr.
Pheasant recommends selling all 3 parcels together as a lot.
Jim Anderson -Cook, Deputy Director of Development Services discussed development patterns and
trends in the Crescent Bar Area/Trinidad Plateau. Two other parcels in the Rural Community area

outer boundary of the Trinidad LAMIRD. Discussion ensued.
Darryl Pheasant and Jim Anderson -Cook again discussed the valuations presented by Public Works.
Darryl Pheasant recommends starting at $55k or $60k for all 3 parcels to gain interest.
Wayne Smith asked how wide the parcels are. Jim Cook, Assistant Director of Development Services
Stated the total acreage is 1.16 acres.
A motion was made by Commissioner Stone, seconded by Commissioner Jones, to close the public
comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously. Discussion: Commissioner Stone
stated there are 3 parcels for sale, with a recommendation from the Treasurer to consolidate them and
sell at as a whole. Darry Pheasant stated he recommends doing this and setting one minimum sale
amount. Commissioner Jones is in favor of this recommendation. Commissioner Stone asked if another
neighbor may be interested. Mr. Cook stated he did not believe so. Discussion ensued.
A motion was made by Commissioner Stone to sell all three parcels as one unit with a minimum bid of
