Summary
The board approved budget amendment No. 11 to use fund balance for acquisition of properties at 219 N. Richardson Ave., 110 W. Elm St. and a third Nashville parcel, citing due diligence and an expected need for demolition; motion passed by voice vote.
The Nash County Board of Commissioners on April 16 approved Budget Amendment No. 11 to appropriate fund balance for acquisition of county-owned Nashville properties at 219 North Richardson Avenue and 110 West Elm Street, and related acquisition costs.
Finance staff presented the amendment and recommended appropriating fund balance to cover the purchases. Nikki Stanton summarized the due-diligence work: the county took a short due-diligence period to inspect the parcels, performed a courtesy site review and did not observe visible signs requiring environmental remediation, and said the county anticipates several structures on the properties will be demolished.
Commissioner Leroy Davis moved the amendment; Commissioner George Howell seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript records the chair saying the motion passes. Stanton said staff would proceed with acquisition steps and follow normal closing processes.
The board approved the appropriation for acquisition; no additional conditions or funding sources were specified in the meeting.
