Sevier County committee moves to speed convenience-center upgrades, discusses Centerview engineering contract
Summary
At an Aug. 10 Intergovernmental Committee meeting, Sevier County commissioners instructed staff to expedite improvements at the Allensville and 321 convenience centers, approved planning work for both sites, and heard a motion to establish the first Centerview site and to execute an engineering contract with CEC (vote not recorded in transcript).
The Sevier County Intergovernmental Committee on Aug. 10 asked staff to accelerate improvements to two convenience centers and advanced planning for a new Centerview site.
Commissioner Kent Woods called the meeting to order and recognized Dan King, Director of Solid Waste Management and Services, who said the department "would get the drawings for both sites and get started as soon as possible." Commissioner Jack Parton moved that King determine square footage for the Allensville and 321 convenience centers and that Assistant Director of Planning Gary Brackins draw maps for the expansion and remodel; Commissioner Chuck Godfrey seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter distributed the Solid Waste 5-Year Capital Plan and site maps showing proposed Centerview locations and a Pigeon Forge/Wears Valley convenience-center parcel. Commissioner Carroll Rauhuff moved to establish the first proposed Centerview site and for the Mayor’s Office to execute an engineering contract with Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) on Friday, Aug. 11, 2023. The transcript records the motion but does not include a second or a recorded vote on that specific motion.
McCarter said the family owning the parcel identified for the Pigeon Forge/Wears Valley site is still discussing a selling price and "will call the County back." Commissioner Woods requested that the Solid Waste Special Committee reconvene to review the parcel once the family responds.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: King is to obtain site drawings and begin work, Brackins is to prepare maps, and the committee planned further review of the Pigeon Forge/Wears Valley parcel pending the landowner's decision. The transcript does not include funding details, a timeline for construction, or a recorded outcome for the motion to execute the CEC engineering contract.
