Wilson County budget officials and the committee discussed a decades‑old public building authority that has not been used in recent years and instructed county staff to begin steps to dissolve it.

County staff explained the authority was created during past capital projects and was later unused; the state has contacted the county and indicated the authority needs either to be audited (at the county’s expense) or dissolved. The committee approved a motion directing county staff to take action to dissolve the public building authority.

Committee members noted the authority had been used in prior projects (including the construction of Wilson Central) and that other counties have created similar entities when needed. Staff said the authority can be re‑created in the future, if required.

A voice vote approved the motion to dissolve the authority; committee members did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript. Staff will follow statutory procedures to dissolve the corporation and notify state authorities as required.
