Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a resolution authorizing the Presiding Officer of the Williamson County Commissioners Court to execute a Resale Deed from Williamson County, Texas to M. W. Odom Enterprises, Inc. DBA Maverick Termite and Pest Control pertaining to 0.562 acres, more or less, being the East Parts of Lots 1 & 2, Block 69, City of Jarrell, Williamson County, Texas being that property more particularly described in Document 2017096973 of the Official Public Records, Williamson County, Texas.

In December 2016, Williamson County filed a lawsuit to collect delinquent property taxes on behalf of itself, Jarrell Independent School District, and the City of Jarrell vs. Oscar Knauth et al. On May 25^th, 2017 a judgment was signed ordering foreclosure of the tax lien. Pursuant to the Property Tax Code, in October of 2017, the property was offered for sale at a public tax foreclosure sale. The property did not receive a bid and was taken into trust by the County for the use and benefit of all the taxing jurisdictions. This property has been held in trust with an exempt status since October 2017, and has therefore been completely exempt from taxation since that date.

 M. W. Odom Enterprises, Inc. DBA Maverick Termite and Pest Control, one of the surrounding property owners, has tendered a purchase offer of $5,000. By accepting this offer, the County is removing this property from exempted tax status, meaning the property will once again generate tax revenue for all the applicable taxing entities.

 For the reasons stated herein, it is my recommendation to accept this offer by M. W. Odom Enterprises, Inc. DBA Maverick Termite and Pest Control.
