Sevier County commissioners allow mayor to make $4.3M offer for warehouse at John L. Marshall Park
Summary
At a Feb. 20 special call, the Sevier County Budget Committee unanimously authorized Mayor Larry Waters to make an offer of $4.3 million for a 72,000-square-foot warehouse on 6.74 acres at John L. Marshall Park, contingent on an environmental review and full County Commission approval.
Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters presented a plan during a Feb. 20 special-call meeting of the Sevier County Budget Committee to pursue the purchase of a 72,000-square-foot warehouse on 6.74 acres at John L. Marshall Park. The mayor said the county would use the building for county storage and as an EMA/emergency services facility and proposed a purchase price of $4,300,000, contingent on an environmental review and final approval by the full County Commission.
Commissioner Fred Atchley called the meeting to order at 3:30 PM in Courtroom 100E. Commissioner Warren Hurst moved to allow Mayor Larry Waters to make the offer described; Commissioner Bryan Delius seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The meeting record notes the motion passed unanimously but does not list individual roll-call votes.
After the motion, Commissioner Ronnie Whaley moved to adjourn; Commissioner Hurst seconded and the meeting adjourned at 3:47 PM. No formal purchase or expenditure was approved at the meeting: the committee authorized the mayor to make an offer, subject to the stated contingencies and any further action required by the full County Commission.
The committee did not provide a detailed timeline for the environmental review or a schedule for when the full County Commission would consider the proposed purchase. Funding sources or budget adjustments associated with a potential acquisition were not specified during the meeting.
