Tazewell supervisors reappoint Richard Smith to PSA, approve short rental extension and authorize county-attorney negotiations
Summary
Following an executive session, the board reappointed Richard Smith to the Tazewell County PSA, approved a six-month extension of a Convenience Area rental site at $600 per month, and authorized the county administrator to negotiate with two candidates for the county attorney position.
After convening in closed session, the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors returned to public session and took several personnel and administrative actions.
Speaker 3 moved to reappoint Richard Smith to the Tazewell County Public Service Authority; Speaker 4 seconded and the board approved the reappointment by voice vote.
Based on executive-session discussions, Speaker 2 proposed a six-month extension of a Convenience Area rental site with Barnes and Linda Kidd at $600 per month beginning Jan. 1 and ending June 30. The board voted to approve the short extension.
Speaker 4 moved that the county administrator be authorized to enter negotiations with both candidates interviewed for the county attorney position; Speaker 3 seconded and the motion passed, authorizing staff to negotiate with the finalists.
Speaker 1 conducted a roll call earlier and announced attendance; Speaker 2 asked that the minutes reflect Supervisor Curry joined the executive session and left before it ended. The meeting was later adjourned to Jan. 13, 2026.
Next steps: the county administrator will proceed with negotiations for the county attorney position and the administration will implement the rental-site extension and the PSA reappointment.
