Board conveys Kimell Elementary property to town after local groups reach agreement
Summary
The board voted to convey the former Kimell Elementary School property to the town after the Council of Southern Mountains removed itself from consideration and agreed to collaborate; the motion passed 5‑0.
The board approved a motion to convey the Kimell Elementary School property to the town (motion by Miss West, seconded by Mr. Copelo). During discussion, a board member read a dated letter from Heather Mullins, executive director of the Council of Southern Mountains, indicating her organization would withdraw from consideration and would cooperate with the town’s plans for the building. A board member praised the collaboration, saying working together was better than splitting the asset; the motion passed by voice vote (5‑0).
No sale price or deed language was read into the record during the meeting; staff indicated the matter was the result of a local coordination process and the conveyance will proceed per the approved motion. The board’s action completes the property disposition step; implementation and any subsequent town plans for the building will be handled by local officials.
