The Heard County Board of Commissioners authorized the Public Works Director to negotiate with E.R. Snell for the purchase of asphalt millings after an executive-session discussion at its Feb. 20 meeting.
Commissioner Larry Hammond moved and Commissioner David Walls seconded a motion to enter executive session to discuss authorization and negotiation to purchase property. After the board re-entered regular session (motion Hammond, second Perry), Chairman Lee Boone stated the board had given the Public Works Director authorization to negotiate with E.R. Snell to purchase asphalt millings.
The meeting record does not include contract terms, dollar amounts, or a final vote authorizing expenditure; it records only that the board delegated negotiation authority to the Public Works Director. The record does not specify whether additional approvals will be required before a purchase is executed.
