Discussion Regarding Parcels to be sold at County Auction: Scott Galetka reviewed the parcels being
considered for sale. The committee asked if any specific parcel has special information that should be
discussed that may make the parcel unique, or difficult to sell. Galetka explained there are a couple of
parcels that have buildings on them. One parcel is on Lake Superior, with a value of just over $200,000.
Forestry is interested in one parcel with a recreation trail on it. Shuga stated that she needs permission to
proceed with the notification process before the parcels are actually put up for sale.

Tax Delinquency Notification Process: Galetka reported to the committee that a citizen that previously
owned 3 parcels that were taken through the InRem process has approached the county to re-purchase the
properties. This is a 5-year process. The consensus of the committee is to stick with the established
process. Galetka explained a couple of extra steps that could take place in the notification process to
attempt to reach delinquent owners that have not acknowledged the certified mailing. The committee was
agreeable to the additional attempts/methods to contact the delinquent owners.
The committee postponed the closed session portion of the meeting due to lack of an in-person quorum.
Meeting Adjourned at 3:25 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Kristine Kavajecz, Assistant to the County Administrator
