Before any such sale or conveyance shall be made, the board of county commissioners, in regular or special session, shall adopt a resolution declaring that said real estate is not needed for indigent care facility purposes, or is unsuitable or inconvenient for such purpose, or that other or more suitable or convenient real property within the county is obtainable at a fair and reasonable value. The resolution shall be published with other proceedings of the board, and a copy of the resolution shall be certified by the county clerk to the judge of the district court of such county. The judge shall determine whether such sale is in the best interest of the county. The judge shall order and direct the board to sell the real estate, as hereinafter provided, and he or she shall appoint three disinterested freeholders of the county to appraise the real estate. The appraisal is to be returned by the appraisers to the board of county commissioners.
