Summary
The district solicitor told the board the district received an offer from Lowe’s on a previously appraised property and reported a tentative settlement in a separate lawsuit; both matters require final review and administrative steps before completion.
The district solicitor, Mr. Barrett, updated the board on two legal matters: an offer from Lowe’s on a district property that was previously appraised, and a tentative settlement in a separate lawsuit.
Barrett said the board had earlier authorized hiring an expert to appraise the Lowe’s property. Before appraisal completion, the district received an offer from Lowe’s. Barrett said he had not yet finalized the figures but had been told by the county solicitor that the county commissioners “are happy with it,” and that the offer appears to settle for less than the district’s appraisal and attorney fees. Barrett said he will confirm the final numbers with the business manager and superintendent and proceed accordingly.
On a separate case, Barrett said the district had received a tentative settlement on litigation addressed the prior month; he described the settlement as acceptable and said he would forward details to the superintendent in the coming days.
No final contract or settlement amount was announced during the meeting; Barrett indicated administrative follow-up and verification would precede execution.
