After executive session, court authorizes county attorney to pursue 540 Marcus Street acquisition
Summary
Following an executive session about property at 540 Marcus Street, Callahan County commissioners authorized the county attorney to pursue acquisition up to the amount of judgments on file; no final purchase price was disclosed in open session.
Callahan County commissioners met in executive session on March 10 to discuss the potential acquisition of property located at 540 Marcus Street. After returning to open session, the court said no final action was taken in closed session but voted to authorize the county attorney to pursue acquisition efforts and to bid on the property up to the amount of judgments on file.
The court moved into executive session to discuss purchase or acquisition of real property under the agenda item; the executive session began at 10:17 a.m. and the court returned at 10:30 a.m. The judge stated there was only discussion in executive session and no immediate action. Judge Harrell then asked for a motion to authorize the county attorney to proceed with the acquisition up to the judgments amount; Commissioner Windham made the motion, Commissioner McGowan seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote.
No purchase price, seller name, or further negotiation details were provided in open session. The court instructed the county attorney to proceed within the limit described (the amount of judgments on file) and did not record further specifics at the meeting; follow-up and any formal purchase authorization will be brought to a future meeting if required.
