Commissioner Hume asked if Staff requires proof of landownership from
applicants during their review.
Ms. Brucker responded that yes, Staff does require property deeds from
applicants. She also mentioned that property sales records often lag by several
months in the County record database.
Commissioner Pautler asked what would happen if a buyer purchased only a
portion of land from a seller, then applied for water rights on the entire
parcel.
Ms. Brucker responded that Staff would review the property deed and verify
ownership of all the land claimed in the application.
Commissioner Denning moved to direct Staff to implement the process and
application form for the correction of erroneously issued determination of
facts.
