BACKGROUND:

Jeff Limanowski was the successful bidder in the surplus real property auction ending October 28, 2019, wherein he bid $5320 for the parcel located at PARK - Spanish Trail Villa. On October 29, 2019, Mr. Limanowski completed the 10% Deposit and Purchase Form and submitted his bid deposit to the County, in the amount of $532, for the aforementioned parcel. The County Attorney's Office mailed a set of closing documents to Mr. Limanowski on November 7, 2019. To date, Mr. Limanowski has not executed the Agreement for Sale and Purchase.

On March 12, 2020, a certified letter was mailed to Mr. Limanowski by the County Administrator, advising that he had failed to execute the Agreement for Sale and Purchase or any of the closing documents, and that the Administrator would recommend the Board find him to be in default of the terms of the sale, retain the bid deposit, and authorize the property to be re-advertised at another auction or rescind the Board action declaring the parcel as surplus.
