NEWBERRY — The Newberry County Forfeited Land Commission has accepted four bids for properties owned by the Commission.

The first bid was from Rosette Gallman of Prosperity for 103 Wye St. in Newberry. Gallman placed a bid of $300 and the FLC was asking $1,105.04. This particular property has a house located on it. The house has burned, but has not been removed.

Jay Tothacer, Newberry County attorney, made the recommendation that the FLC accept the bid.

“I make the motion that we accept the bid of $300 because of the condition of the lot,” said Karen Lindler Smith, Newberry County treasurer.

Donna Lominack, Newberry County auditor, seconded on the recommendation of Tothacer that they accept it.

The FLC has had the property since March.

Two bids were made on 155 Clark St. in Whitmire. The first was from Timothy Vanlue of Whitmire for $2,000 and the second was from Anthony Tyler of Anderson for $2,605. The FLC has owned this property since August, and was asking $2,530.23.

Lominack made a motion that they accept the high bid from Tyler and Smith seconded.

The next bid was for north of junction 244 and 542 in Prosperity. The FLC has owned this property since August, and was asking $652.09. Kenneth Sanders of Newberry placed a bid of $600.

His bid was accepted after Smith made a motion and Lominack seconded.

The final bid came from Michael Guynn of Los Angeles, Calif. He made a bid $275 for property located on Boundary Street. The property has been owned by the FLC since March and they were asking $192.81.

Guynn’s bid was accepted after Lominack made a motion and Smith seconded.
