Commissioners authorize Mike Moss to sign River Suites purchase agreement; Monday closing set

Deputy Director Savannah Clement told commissioners the county had negotiated terms to purchase the River Suites property and needed a signed document from county officials for the title company. Clement said the county attorney's office and the title company requested a written authorization showing board approval and signatures. She said the draft letter includes the three required signatures but Commissioner Dahl was absent and staff requested two commissioners sign now so the transaction could proceed. The board moved to authorize Mike Moss as the designated signer for the agreement and to sign the related documents. Action and timing: A commissioner made the motion to authorize Mike Moss as the designated signer for the River Suites agreement. The board voted in favor; the clerk announced, "Motion passes." Clement said the closing date was set for Monday, Aug. 11. What this means: The motion authorized an identified county official to execute closing documents on behalf of the county. The transcript did not record the mover’s or second’s names or a roll-call vote. Commissioners did not discuss any change to price or transaction terms during the meeting.
