In a recent meeting, the Wagon County Board of Commissioners voted to rescind a previous resolution regarding the donation of a parcel of property to the city of Wagner. The decision stems from complications surrounding the legal description of the property and the authority of the board to donate it after it had already been auctioned.
Commissioner Haney presented a resolution outlining the circumstances that led to the initial donation approval, which was based on an incorrect legal description of the property. The board had initially voted to donate the property for water retention purposes, following a request from Wagner's mayor, Dalton South. However, it was later determined that the property in question did not exist as described.
The resolution, numbered 2024-106, formally rescinds the earlier donation and requests that the city of Wagner issue a quitclaim deed to Bart Bogle, who had won the property in a separate auction. This action aims to clarify the legal ownership of the property and prevent any potential litigation.
The board's vote was unanimous, with all commissioners present supporting the resolution. The meeting concluded with a discussion on authority license renewals, indicating ongoing administrative matters within the county.
