Avery County approves Parks & Recreation architectural planning contract after attorney revisions
Summary
The Board unanimously approved the Parks and Recreation architectural planning process contract June 17 after county attorney Michaelle Poore requested removal of language not needed for Phase I; motion by Dennis Aldridge, second by Martha Hicks, passed 5-0.
Avery County commissioners voted unanimously June 17 to approve the Parks and Recreation architectural planning process contract, after the county attorney requested removal of language she said was unnecessary for Phase I.
County Manager Phillip Barrier Jr. reported that the county attorney had approved the contract following requested edits. County Attorney Michaelle Poore told the board some language was removed because it was not necessary for the initial phase of work. Dennis Aldridge moved to approve the contract as presented, and Martha Hicks seconded. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
Why it matters: Approving an architectural planning contract moves the county closer to a formal planning process for Parks & Recreation improvements and establishes the first-phase scope; the meeting record does not include the contract total or contractor name.
What’s next: The contract will proceed as revised; contract amounts, timelines and specific deliverables were not recorded during the meeting and require follow-up by county staff.
