Commission approves one-year renewal of two county real-estate contracts

Christian County commissioners voted to renew two as-needed county real-estate contracts for one year, the commission chair said during the regular session.

Miss Kim presented the request, saying the contracts — one with Marnie and one with Keller Williams — would run from July 26 through July 25 and represent the final year under the current agreement. "No price increase," Miss Kim said, and she told the commission the same agents would continue to represent the firms: "It's Brett Hines and Brent Stone." The presentation described the contracts as being on an "as-needed" basis.

The chair then made a motion "to approve ITB 2022-9," which received a second and passed on a voice vote; the transcript records multiple "aye" responses but does not list names or an exact tally.

Why it matters: Renewing these as-needed contracts preserves continuity for county real-estate brokerage services and keeps the current agent assignments in place for the coming year. The vote does not by itself commit additional funds beyond the county's procurement processes and available budget authority.

What’s next: The contract renewal covers the upcoming 12-month period beginning July 26; the contract is the final renewal year under the current arrangement, according to Miss Kim. No further procedural steps were recorded in the meeting minutes for this item.
