Commission refers sale of inherited property to full commission; mayor says proceeds will benefit animal center
Summary
Commissioners referred Resolution 254019 to the full commission to authorize sale of an inherited property and contents, and Mayor said proceeds will be split between the county animal center and a victim advocacy organization named in the estate.
The Blount County workshop referred Resolution 254019, authorizing the sale of inherited property as surplus, to the full commission after a brief discussion and a request for clarification from a commissioner.
Commissioner French moved the resolution and Commissioner Aker seconded. Commissioner Michaels asked for additional detail from the mayor's office about how the property sale would be handled.
Mayor Jonathan Smith said a deceased resident left her estate to the county animal center. The mayor said county staff will contract an auction company to itemize and auction the home and contents; proceeds will be split between the animal center and a "bridal advocacy group" named in the estate.
"We had a citizen who passed away, and she . . . left her estate to the animal center," the mayor said. "All the proceeds will go to . . . our animal center and . . . another bridal advocacy group." The commission voted unanimously to forward Resolution 254019 to the full commission.
No sale timetable or estimated proceeds were provided during the workshop; the mayor said staff would follow the standard surplus and auctioning process.
