Summary
The commissioners approved an interlocal agreement with the Williamsdale Hospital District to purchase about 2.5 acres and cover site preparation and dirt work costs not to exceed $730,000; Edward Merle, president of the hospital district, described the proposal for the record.
Chambers County commissioners approved an interlocal agreement with the Williamsdale Hospital District to acquire roughly 2.5 acres and to fund site preparation and dirt work for a proposed hospital site, with total county support not to exceed $730,000.
Edward Merle, who introduced himself during the meeting as "Edward Merle, president of the Williamsdale Hospital District," confirmed the acreage and said the county would fund site preparation costs in addition to land purchase at the appraisal figure discussed during the meeting. Commissioners raised questions about drainage and how the parcel will tie into county detention and drainage systems; hospital district and county staff said they will coordinate to connect to the county system.
The court moved and seconded the item and approved the interlocal and associated funding by voice vote. Commissioners thanked the hospital district for pursuing partnerships; staff will finalize the interlocal documents and record the transaction as required.
