Hamilton County hears lease proposal to house Forgotten Child Fund at Harrison Recreation Center
Summary
Commissioners discussed a resolution to authorize the county mayor to lease office and storage space at the Harrison Recreation Center to the Forgotten Child Fund and urged that the arrangement be formalized by resolution to protect the organization in future administrations.
Hamilton County commissioners heard a resolution to authorize the county mayor to enter into a lease with the Forgotten Child Fund for office and storage space at the Harrison Recreation Center, 5637 Highway 58 in Chattanooga.
Commissioner Highlander praised the organization’s work and its recent ribbon cutting, saying the group “is so organized” and urging a formal partnership with the county.
The item as read to the committee described the action as “a resolution authorizing the county mayor to enter into and execute a lease agreement between Hamilton County and the Forgotten Child Fund for office and storage space located at the Harrison Recreation Center at 5637 Highway 58, Chattanooga, Tennessee.” Commissioner Watts and others urged that the lease paperwork be made explicit and recorded through the mayor’s office so the organization would be protected if a new administration takes office.
No vote or final action on the resolution was recorded in the committee transcript. The clerk read the resolution into the record and commissioners discussed ensuring the county’s paperwork and a formal resolution would protect the nonprofit’s tenancy going forward.
Commissioners thanked the Forgotten Child Fund’s staff for their work; the transcript specifically acknowledged “Kelly” and the organization’s volunteers for their service.
The committee moved on after brief remarks; the transcript does not show a final vote on the resolution or details of the lease term beyond the location and purpose.
