School board authorizes appraisals to explore purchase of property south of middle school
Summary
The Franklin Community School Corp. board unanimously authorized staff to obtain appraisals and begin steps to potentially acquire a property south of the district middle school; funds for property purchase were said to be set aside from the Hillview sale.
The Franklin Community School Corp. board voted unanimously to authorize staff to obtain appraisals and begin the process to potentially acquire a property located south of the district middle school.
A board member told the board the property is for sale and urged the district to explore buying it, saying funds set aside from the sale of the Hillview property have been designated for property purchase. "I would like to recommend that we move forward with the potential buying of the property," the board member said.
The motion, as stated during the meeting, authorized the district's legal counsel and Dr. Clendenin to take necessary steps to begin the acquisition process, including obtaining appraisals. The motion was moved by a board member and noted as seconded. During a roll call, the board recorded unanimous 'aye' votes and the chair declared the motion adopted.
Board materials presented at the meeting indicated the district has money set aside from the sale of the Hillview property for purchases; the transcript records the reference to that fund but does not specify the exact date or accounting line for the funds. The board member said staff will return to the board next month with appraisal results and recommendations on whether to proceed with a purchase.
The board did not specify a purchase price or identify the property owner during the meeting. Further appraisal work and any subsequent purchase would be subject to future board approval.
