Commission Minutes--September 18, 2000 2197 plus approximately $ 4,700 for uncertified special assessments due to the installation of a sewer system. Mr. and Mrs. Lamb have made an offer to purchase the property for $12,000, and Mr. Montplaisir said the Southeast Cass Water Resource District would be agreeable to cancelling approximately $2,800 in specials not covered by the purchase price. An addendum to the purchase agreement indicates, among other things, that the seller will provide a warranty deed. The Board discussed conveyance of the property with the State's Attorney and the timelines involved. Mr. Wieland said the county should be able to provide some sort of title by the end of this week, as requested, and proceed with quiet title action at the same time. Mr. Burdick said the county could give the purchaser whatever rights or title they have at the moment but a warranty deed could not be given until there is a quiet title. He said there are provisions in the statutes regarding counties quieting title on property acquired in tax proceedings. Preparing the quiet title action is not a lengthy process, and Mr. Burdick said it can be published yet this week. Mr. Montplaisir suggested a quit claim deed giving the purchaser the rights to the property and proceed with the quiet title. He said the purchasers have access to free fill material if they can use it yet this fall, and they would build on the property in the spring. The buyer is aware that a building permit must first be obtained from the Harwood City Auditor's Office, according to Mr. Montplaisir.
