Committee forwards restricted quitclaim deed, with lease as backup, to full commission

General Operations Committee · August 13, 2026

Summary

The Sumner County General Operations Committee voted to move a restricted quitclaim deed for the historic Latimer House to the full commission, with a lease option as a contingency; the resolution ties a $587,232.27 restricted fund to preservation covenants and requires Board of Education sign-off.

The General Operations Committee voted to place a restricted quitclaim deed and its companion resolution on the full commission agenda and agreed to present a lease agreement as a backup if needed. Chair (a Sumner County board member from District 5) moved the measure after reading the resolution that would transfer the historic Latimer House and attach a preservation covenant and reverter clause to the deed.

The resolution, read in committee, referenced state statutory authority (TCA 12-2501 and TCA 59-109) and specified that the restricted fund balance being held for the park is $587,232.27. The Chair said the conveyance "shall not be effective until the Sumner County Board of Education has also approved and executed the restricted quitclaim deed as a co-grantor" and that a permanent ingress-and-egress easement would run with the parcel. The committee also agreed the restricted funds would be transferred in a manner that keeps them restricted for restoration and park purposes.
