Committee authorizes lease of City Hall office space to Congresswoman Terri Sewell
Summary
The Public Projects Committee authorized a lease for U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell to occupy office space in City Hall Annex for the remainder of her congressional term; the lease rate discussed in the meeting was described inconsistently in the transcript.
The committee authorized a lease agreement allowing Congresswoman Terri Sewell to use office space in City Hall Annex 2 for the remainder of her congressional term. City staff said the space being offered is in the northeast corner of Annex 2 (the office currently occupied by Jessica Stewart will be relocated), and the lease term will coincide with the representative’s congressional term ending in January 2027.
Staff and committee members discussed the lease amount. The transcript records inconsistent phrasing: one speaker said "$12 a year," then another voice said "Dollar a month." The committee voted to approve the lease; the transcript records at least one nay vote but the motion carried.
The lease item was presented by city staff (identified in the transcript as "Mister David or Mister Thompson, whoever wants to take that"). The committee approved the authorization for the mayor to execute the lease agreement; no other material conditions were recorded in the transcript.
