The trail right-of-way (as shown on the attached right-of-way plan) would be acquired through a Timberland Exchange Agreement which would exchange County held tax-title land acquired in 1928, for portions of Pope Resources property plus cash, for a 100 percent value. Tax-title land is land acquired by the County for lack of other bidders at a tax foreclosure sale and held in trust for the taxing districts. The Assessor Parcel Number (APN) for the County property is 701071002. The right-of-way to be acquired from Pope Resources includes portions of (APN) 901042001 and 901092001. Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: Pope Resources is the largest property owner along this proposed ODT segment, and is willing to exchange timber properties of equal values in support of the Trail. Appraisals for all associated properties have been completed and Public Works is prepared to move forward with negotiations to complete the property exchange. The Board's Authorization and Concurrence will grant Public Works the authority to proceed. This exchange complies with Chapter 36.35 RCW and is in the public interest as it will provide the property necessary to complete a segment of the Olympic Discovery Trail. Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: The Jefferson County property was appraised at $115,000 and the Pope Resources property was appraised at $78,700. The Timberland Exchange Agreement will reconcile the difference with a cash amount of $36,300 to be paid to the County with disbursement to cover costs associated with the sale, and with the remainder of the proceeds to be justly apportioned to the appropriate taxing districts for the parcel's location. Department of Public Works O Regular Agenda Page 2 of 2 Recommendation: Per Jefferson County Right-of-Way Procedures, Resolution 05-11, adopted Feb. 7, 2011; Public Works recommends that the Board of County Commissioners pass a motion approving the attached Authorization and Concurrence Resolution directing staff to proceed with the aforementioned property negotiation and acquisition in coordination with the Jefferson County Treasurer. The Board will be provided a copy of the fully recorded documents upon their filing with the Jefferson County Auditor.
