Property committee approves surplus sales, equipment conveyance, a nonprofit vet lease and naming/easement agreements

Williamson County—s Property Committee approved several consent and operational resolutions during its Feb. 4 meeting, voting unanimously on items related to surplus property, intercounty equipment conveyance, a nonprofit lease, naming-rights and a utility easement.

The committee authorized Resolution 22612 to declare certain county property and equipment surplus and to sell items at auction; staff noted a three-page auction list. Resolution 22613 approved the surplus and conveyance of law-enforcement equipment (identified as sheriff—s items, including ballistic plates) to Hickman County and authorized the mayor to execute required documents.

On Resolution 22614, a presenter described a proposed lease with Better Outcomes for Owners and Pets (BOOP), a nonprofit veterinary provider. The presenter said BOOP will lease county space, operate with its own DEA licensure and malpractice insurance and reimburse the county for any consumable supplies used, adding that the arrangement "should not cost the taxpayers anything." The committee approved the BOOP lease by unanimous voice vote.

The committee also approved Resolution 22617, authorizing the mayor to accept a naming-rights agreement with Beaman Toyota for a parks scoreboard, and Resolution 22618, authorizing an easement to Middle Tennessee Electric to realign two utility poles for the Columbia Avenue expansion. Staff said the easement supports a road expansion near the county-leased garage site. Each consent item passed by unanimous voice vote.

What happens next: staff will execute the approved conveyance, lease and easement documents and proceed with auction procedures for surplus items.
