Committee approves purchase negotiations for two Seymour/West Sevier Recreation Park parcels
Summary
The Intergovernmental Committee voted June 16, 2026 to allow the Mayor’s Office to accept an offer for Parcel #1 (Ledford Property) and to negotiate the purchase of Parcel #2 (Cutshaw Property) for the Seymour/West Sevier Recreation Park; the motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Kent Woods called the Sevier County Intergovernmental Committee to order at 1:52 p.m. and the committee immediately addressed land acquisitions tied to the Seymour/West Sevier Recreation Park. Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter and Commissioner Dustin Weaver provided an update on the status of the parcels under consideration.
Commissioner Jack Parton moved "to allow the Mayor’s Office to accept the offer for Parcel #1 and to negotiate and purchase Parcel #2." Commissioner Kent Woods seconded the motion, and the committee "passed unanimously." The parcels are identified in the agenda as Parcel #1 — Ledford Property — and Parcel #2 — Cutshaw Property. The action authorizes the Mayor’s Office to complete the acceptance and enter negotiations; no purchase price or closing timeline was specified in the record.
The decision moves the county closer to assembling land for the Seymour/West Sevier Recreation Park. Committee members did not record additional conditions on the authorization during the meeting. Next steps are for the Mayor’s Office to effectuate the acceptance for Parcel #1 and to proceed with negotiations for Parcel #2, subject to any required approvals outside the committee record.
