Commissioners authorize 90-day due diligence on downtown lease talks for county offices
Summary
The Intergovernmental Committee authorized Assessor Thomas King and the Mayor's Office to continue lease negotiations with a downtown property family and requested a 90‑day written due diligence period; motion passed unanimously.
Sevier County commissioners voted June 6 to authorize continued lease negotiations for potential downtown office space and to request a 90‑day written due diligence period.
Assessor of Property Thomas King told the committee his office needs about 2,000–3,000 square feet for employees and records and said other departments need additional space. Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter presented a Letter of Intention from the downtown property family and explained a potential layout for offices and departments that could be housed in the leased property.
Commissioner Jack Parton moved that Assessor King and the Mayor’s Office continue discussions with the property family and request a 90‑day due diligence in writing; Commissioner Michael Maddron seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The motion directs county staff to pursue negotiations and report back to the Intergovernmental Committee; the transcript does not record a formal lease amount, landlord identity beyond “the downtown property family,” or a binding commitment to lease.
