Summary

The board voted to reverse a previously approved interlocal agreement after deciding to pursue a permanent communications tower to meet FEMA requirements; the school board land is no longer needed.

Chairman Parker Liles told the board that FEMA requirements prompted a shift from a temporary communications tower to a permanent structure, removing the need for land from the school board. Commissioner Charlton Gillis moved to reverse the Interlocal Governmental Agreement that had been approved at the March 20 called meeting; Commissioner Johnny Durrance seconded and the board approved the reversal.

The board did not record further details about the permanent tower siting, costs, or contractors in the meeting minutes. The reversal was recorded so the county will not proceed with the previously planned land arrangement with the school board.
