County moves ahead on property behind sheriff’s department; may rent building for storage
Summary
Commissioners authorized proceeding on the property behind the Sheriff's Department on Keightly Road; the sheriff's office plans to rent the building for storage while the sale is pending and the county will seek possible funding assistance from County Council.
Commissioner Rick Woodall reported that the parcel directly behind the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department on Keightly Road is for sale and told the board the department would rent the building for storage until a sale closed. Deputy Tom Sutherlin indicated the sheriff’s office would use the space for storage in the interim.
Woodall said he did not know where acquisition funds would come from and hoped County Council might provide assistance; the sheriff also had a local realtor prepare an estimate of the property's value. Commissioner Berry moved to proceed with the next steps; Helmer seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not specify a purchase price, timeline or funding source; the county’s next steps will include discussions with County Council and further review of the realtor’s estimate.
