ti Because there has been irresponsible handling of materials there is no reasonable prediction of chemicals present on the property. Gonsequently, the estimates for identifying hazards are as follows: Chemical characterization $64,355 Building Material Sampling 2,2~3 Soil Sampling 18,992 Groundwater Quality Assessment 20,451 Waste & Site Character Report 4,536 Estimated Costs $110,607 The report lists resources and estimated costs for disposal of tires, empty (or partially filled) drums, vehicles, appliances, tanks, batteries, equipment, machinery, scrap metal, chemicals, contaminated soils. Because the chemical identi- fication is a perquisite, costs for cleaning up the property has too large a variable to make estimates. Discussion: A voluntary clean up of this property by Marion County has unmeasurable expense and risk. Person- al property (scarp iron & surplus) is not avail- able to MC until abandonment is completed through due process. There has not been much interest internally to indicate there is need for MC to development the property for public purposes. The environmental assessment has not been filed with DEQ. Placing the property (2 large pieces) on the available property list means we could accept any offer of $43,650 or more or it can be placed on the next public auction. A minimum bid can be~ placed on the smallest piece for the next public auction as well. If Mr. Joe Bello made an offer through the available property process the BOC could refuse the sale but the next offer would have to be greater than Mr. Bello's offer. If Mr. Bello bid at the public auction we could not refuse the sale. STAFF ACTION: Respond to inquiry as directed by the Board. ~ Revise auction policies and procedures to allow for the designation of "cash only" sales. Revise advertising and contract documents to include environmental and wetland disclaimers and desig- nating specific properties as "cash only" sales. Request legal counsel review of quitclaim deed to include environmental and wetland disclaimers.
