The Franklin County Commission approved the purchase of a parcel for $6,190 from the Florence M. Tenholder Revocable Living Trust to secure an easement to build a bridge.

The purchase (Commission Order 2025Tech276) was presented during the commission's action items. County staff described the item as a deed in the amount of $6,190 to obtain the easement needed for construction of a bridge. A commissioner said the county needs an “80/20 split” for the transaction; a motion to approve carried on a voice vote.

The vote concluded with the commission approving the purchase as written and authorizing execution of the deed. The meeting record does not specify which department will manage construction or a project timetable.

The action was limited to approving the purchase and associated deed; no additional policy direction, funding schedule or construction contract was authorized during the meeting.
