Committee discusses purchase and cleanup of parcel 094035; motion made to proceed with negotiation and remediation
Summary
The legislative committee considered acquiring map/parcel 094035 for $60,000 and cleaning an adjacent property (Draper House); a motion to move forward was made and seconded and staff said the item will proceed to General Operations and then Budget for final approvals.
Sumner County legislative committee members discussed and moved to advance a plan to acquire map/parcel 094035 for $60,000 and perform demolition/cleanup work on the property and the nearby Draper House.
A committee member told the panel county staff had contacted the property's owner and discussed a sale price of about $60,000 and that the owner was willing to move forward. The committee member moved to purchase the parcel at $60,000 and to include cleanup work on the Draper House while a contractor is on site; the motion was seconded and put into discussion.
The committee discussed which committee (General Operations and Budget) would handle final approval and funding. Staff said the acquisition and cleanup will be processed through General Operations and then presented to the Budget Committee the following month for appropriation. Earlier in the meeting staff had noted there was a $100,000 budgeted amount available in a related allocation to purchase and demolish problem properties, which could be relevant to funding the cleanup.
The transcript records a motion and a second but does not show a roll‑call or final recorded vote during the provided segment; staff and commissioners treated the item as advanced for further processing through General Operations and then Budget. The committee asked legal and procurement to prepare sales contracts and to coordinate cleanup plans and cost estimates for formal approval at the Budget Committee.
