Board authorizes lease framework for long‑term recovery group at Bowman Middle School pending legal review
Summary
Commissioners voted to allow the county manager to execute a lease with the county‑based Long Term Recovery Group (LTRG) for space at Bowman Middle School, with a 60‑day termination term and legal review to follow.
The Mitchell County Board of Commissioners approved a motion to allow the county manager to enter into a lease agreement that would provide space at Bowman Middle School for the county’s Long Term Recovery Group (LTRG), with the agreement to be subject to legal review and include a 60‑day termination provision.
County staff said the Bowman campus has been the operational headquarters for volunteer coordination, long‑term recovery operations and client intake since the storm and that the LTRG — now organized as a nonprofit — needs a formal occupancy agreement to continue operations and reduce county liability exposure. The proposed lease would permit the nonprofit to use space for meetings and recovery coordination and would include a 60‑day termination clause to ensure county flexibility for space needs.
Commissioners asked for the manager to finalize and present a draft lease after legal review; the board voted in favor of the manager’s execution authority for an up‑to‑one‑year lease (consistent with statute) and asked staff to return with the legal draft for filing and signature.
No specific term rent or financial commitment was approved at the meeting; staff will bring the proposed lease language back to the board after county legal review.
