The Finance Committee approved by motion and unanimous voice vote a resolution to use Joseph E. Meyer & Associates to handle surplus equity sales pursuant to Public Act 104-0553 and forwarded the resolution to the full County Board. Treasurer Taylor Burnett explained the advantages of hiring Joseph E. Meyer, saying the firm’s services would prevent Ford County from having to conduct two separate tax sales. Burnett said she will appear before the County Board to explain the proposal.

The motion was made by Carson Vaughn and seconded by Gene May; the committee approved the resolution by voice vote. The resolution references Public Act 104-0553 as the statutory basis for the procurement approach.
