Speaker 3 presented the board with a proposed resolution to accept a landowner counteroffer in the Womack eminent-domain case on Florence Byron Parkway. Speaker 3 said the board was authorizing total just compensation of $260,000 for two of three property owners — $130,000 each — and instructed the county administrator to prepare checks to be tendered once all required documents are received.

Speaker 2 moved to authorize the action and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor and the motion carried. Speaker 3 said the payments would be held until the county received the required instruments from the property owners.

Note on transcript inconsistency: the transcript also records an amount of $23,999.62 for checks payable to each property owner in the same discussion. That amount is inconsistent with the $130,000-per-owner figure the board announced as total just compensation. The county should clarify the apparent discrepancy in the official minutes or financial records; this article reports the $260,000 total as the board-stated settlement amount.
