Sumner County committee reorders agenda, approves minutes with one abstention

The Sumner County committee voted to reorder its agenda to hear an executive session first, followed by new business and old business, and approved last meeting’s minutes with one abstention.

The motion to change the agenda order was proposed during the committee-chair report by the committee member who later identified as the grant accountant and was put to a voice vote. Chair called for the vote and members responded in the affirmative.

The minutes from the prior meeting were brought back for approval. One member stated they would abstain because they had not attended the previous meeting; the other member(s) voted in favor, and the minutes were recorded as approved.

The transcript does not clearly identify which individual formally moved or seconded the minutes approval or show a roll-call tally beyond the statements on the floor. The record reflects one abstention and affirmative votes sufficient to approve the minutes.
