Florence authorizes mayor to negotiate purchase of property from First Baptist Church, contingent on appraisal
Summary
During executive session the board authorized Mayor Trey Gunn to negotiate with First Baptist Church to buy property, provided an appraisal is obtained and the purchase price does not exceed that appraisal; the motion passed unanimously in roll-call recorded votes.
In an executive-session motion on May 19 the Florence board authorized and directed Mayor Trey Gunn to negotiate with First Baptist Church to purchase property once an appraisal is obtained, with any offer not to exceed the appraised value.
Alderman Brian Grantham made the motion, Alderman Kyle Martin seconded, and the roll-call shows Aldermen John Banks, Brian Grantham, Mason Herrin, Kyle Martin and Brent Sistrunk voting Aye. The minutes record the action as carried.
The board took this direction in executive session; the minutes record authorization for negotiation but do not state the property's address, the intended use, or an appraisal value. The authorization is conditioned explicitly on obtaining an appraisal and limiting any offer to that appraisal amount.
