Commission approves five‑year lease to move local library to privately owned campus
Wilson County commissioners approved a lease to relocate a local library and associated community services to a privately owned building on a campus used for recreational activities.

A public commenter described the agreement as a five‑year lease at "$750 a month" with an annual increase discussed in the meeting as between 2% and 3%. The commenter said the space is remodeled and accessible, with an entrance for seniors and an upstairs area that can be used for adult programs. She said the landlord indicated potential future expansion and the lease includes a clause allowing either party to amend the lease if the owner builds additions that change the space or cost.

The commenter also said the landlord will retain responsibility for repairs and maintenance, and that the county will carry a secondary insurance policy; staff confirmed appropriate tenant/owner insurance arrangements. After discussion, the presiding official moved to accept the lease; "Motion made by Commissioner Provill, second by Commissioner Martin," and the recorded vote was "Ayes have it." The motion to accept the lease passed.

The adopted lease does not appear in the transcript text in full; the record shows the commission accepted the agreement and asked that the lease be notarized and completed as the next administrative step.
