This document contains sections of a county code related to the acquisition, disposition, and lease of real property. Section § 8-3-205 states that any proposed disposition of real property must be advertised in local newspapers for three consecutive weeks, stating the terms of the disposition and providing an opportunity for objections. Objections must be filed within 10 days after the last notice of publication, and a hearing on objections must be scheduled within 45 days. The Chief Administrative Officer conducts the hearing and renders a decision within 10 days after the hearing. If no objections are filed or if the Chief Administrative Officer determines that no objection should be sustained, the County Executive can proceed with the disposition. Section § 8-3-206 allows the County to offer to grant and convey surplus property acquired for a capital improvement project to the original owner or their surviving spouse, personal representative, heirs, or assigns. The price for the property should not be less than the cost of acquisition by the County. If the owner or their representatives do not execute a contract within 60 days of the offer, the County can dispose of the property as specified in § 8-3-205. Section § 8-3-207 states that property acquired by the County in connection with an urban renewal project should be disposed of according to the procedures specified by the County Council. Section § 8-3-208 requires the County Executive to provide a list of disposed property to the County Auditor by September 30 of each year. The list should include a description of the property, its acquisition cost, date of acquisition, appraised value, and consideration received for the disposition. Lastly, § 8-3-301 states that any contract for lease of County-owned real property with a term of three years or more must be approved by the County Council through an ordinance. However, there are exemptions for leases to County agencies, the State, recreational facilities, eleemosynary institutions, and commercial telecommunication facilities on existing County structures with a standard lease rate approved by the County Council.
