Claiborne County hires architecture firm for county building after failed tabling motion
Summary
The commission approved hiring The Architecture Collaborative LLC and a $2,500 budget amendment to develop plans for a county office building; a motion to table the hire failed 4-17 before unanimous approval.
Claiborne County commissioners on May 16 voted to hire The Architecture Collaborative LLC to develop plans for a proposed county office building and approved a $2,500 budget amendment to cover related costs.
Commissioner Juanita Honeycutt sponsored the resolution. Commissioner Mundy moved to table the hiring, and Commissioner Brogan seconded the motion to table; that motion failed on a roll-call vote of 4 in favor and 17 against. After the tabling motion failed, the original motion to hire the firm and approve the small budget amendment passed 21-0.
The budget amendment moves $2,500 into County Buildings (Acct. 101-51800-335) and $2,500 into Other Equipment (Acct. 101-51800-790) to pay for the architect services. The resolution references prior related meeting material and explains that architect services were advertised and one firm provided information for selection.
Minutes show no recorded public comment on the selection at the meeting. The resolution directs standard contracting and budgeting follow-ups as part of the project planning process.
