Wilkes County to advertise proposed multi‑year lease with Daymark Recovery Services
Summary
The Board authorized advertising for a proposed five‑year lease with Daymark Recovery Services for the Shirley B. Randleman Center (facility-based crisis services). The lease would include a termination clause allowing Daymark to end the lease if operational funding is lost; final approval after a 30‑day advertisement was scheduled for August 4, 2026.
The county attorney presented a proposed five-year lease with Daymark Recovery Services, which currently operates facility-based crisis services in the Shirley B. Randleman Center. Daymark asked for a longer-term lease; Triplett outlined an escalating monthly rent starting at $5,000 with a 5% annual increase and redlined clauses allowing Daymark to terminate the lease if it loses required program funding.
Because state law requires a 30-day advertisement for leases longer than one year, the board voted to publish notice and return for final approval at the August 4 meeting. Triplett said the lease would be retroactive to July 1, 2026 if approved in August. Commissioners spoke positively of Daymark's operations and stressed the county's interest in keeping behavioral health services available locally.
