Commission approves purchase of 10.65‑acre Ensley parcel for future county needs
Summary
The board approved an offer to purchase a 10.65‑acre parcel behind the administration building identified for detention center expansion, parking and storage. The seller is listed as the Gene Monteth Ensley Revocable Trust; the transcript's purchase-price figures are garbled and marked 'not specified'.
County Manager King described an offer to purchase the Ensley property — a 10.65‑acre parcel behind the administration building on Bronstaff Cove Road that includes a residence — and told commissioners the site has been identified for detention center expansion, parking and storage needs.
King said the transaction is with the Gene Monteth Ensley Revocable Trust and named Clifford Fall as successor trustee. He described the county as a beneficiary of the trust under certain conditions and said the county expects to be reimbursed from the trust assets, but the amount to be reimbursed was not provided. The purchase price and some numeric details are garbled in the transcript and are reported here as "not specified"; the meeting record includes unclear dollar strings that could not be reliably transcribed.
The board moved, seconded and approved the purchase as presented. Later in the meeting the board entered a closed session to discuss real property and legal matters and later announced that no action was taken in closed session.
The county did not record an implementation schedule or a finalized funding source during this meeting; staff indicated the parcel is intended for jail expansion, parking and storage but did not present a final plan or budget at this session.
