Rutherford County commissioners approve multiple sales, appointments and proclamations
Summary
The county commissioners approved online-auction sales of county parcels, accepted a developer offer to purchase a 47-acre tract and approved routine appointments and proclamations, including a 'Great Trails' month proclamation and an airport appeal board vacancy advertisement.
The Rutherford County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to accept several property-sale resolutions, authorize staff to advertise an airport appeal board vacancy and approve ceremonial proclamations and recognitions.
Chairman Bryant led the board in approving resolutions to accept high bids from recent GovDeals online auctions: a Seager Street parcel (winning bid announced $4,150) and a larger Riverbend community parcel (packets listed a $6,850 winning bid; the motion transcribed $6,860). Public works director Danny Searcy said staff will proceed toward real-estate closings with the winning bidders and begin the required closing steps.
The board also authorized advertising to fill an upcoming vacancy on the airport appeal board after clerk Hazel Haynes briefed commissioners on the expiring term. Don Cason of the Rutherford County TDA asked commissioners to declare September 2024 "Great Trail Month" and to recognize an October state trails day; commissioners approved the proclamations by voice vote.
County economic development staff presented a developer offer of $1,778,625 for a 47-acre tract on Daniel Road and requested initiation of the statutory upset-bid process. Staff said the property is currently zoned M1 (industrial) and will require rezoning and coordination with the town of Forest City before development proceeds; the board approved the resolution to accept the offer and begin the upset-bid process.
Action and next steps: staff were authorized to advertise the airport-board vacancy, to proceed toward closings on the auctioned parcels, and to begin the upset-bid process for the developer offer. Commissioners asked staff to coordinate zoning and city approvals before any closing or development approvals.
Clarifying details: the Riverbend parcel motion contains a numerical inconsistency in the verbatim record (packet: $6,850; motion: $6,860); staff was directed to confirm the final figure and include the correct number in closing paperwork.
