Mosquito Control District · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The Mosquito Control District is considering acquiring properties on South Hutchinson Island through a tax deed auction on May 4, 2026. Staff recommends the Board authorize the Property Acquisition Manager to attend the auction and bid on behalf of the County. If successful, the County Finance Director would be authorized to make a 5% pre-auction deposit on April 22, 2026, and the final payment on May 5, 2026. This planned acquisition could involve future site preparation, potential demolition or renovation, and land management services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this process as it moves toward the auction date. Early engagement before final plans and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage for potential future work related to these properties.
