The County Commission reviewed multiple ordinances and budget amendments during a work session, receiving a detailed finance report and a staff briefing on a state downtown participation resolution.
Clerk/staff identified ordinances scheduled for public hearing and final readings, including a wheel tax ordinance (Ordinance 344/2026-06), the fiscal-year 2027 general appropriations ordinance (Ordinance 347/2069) and associated general and urban service tax-rate ordinances (Ordinances 348–350). Staff told commissioners where each ordinance appears in packet materials and invited questions; commissioners generally had no substantive objections during the session.
Chris Gregory, representing budget and finance, said the budget finance committee met earlier and recommended favorable action on several year-end and internal-transfer amendments: a general-fund year-end adjustment (account 10119), a $5,000 adjustment in urban services, $38,000 in solid-waste year-end adjustments, an ambulance-services adjustment for $50,000, a $91,800 highway department adjustment, several school-budget adjustments including a $1,220 Tennessee Arts Commission grant and a $182,507 amendment for summer learning camps, plus food-service adjustments near $28,900. Gregory asked commissioners if they had questions; none requested detailed breakdowns in the meeting record.
Staff also briefed the commission on a proposed participation resolution (2026-08842) for the state downtown program administered by TNECD; staff said signing the resolution and submitting a letter of intent by July 1 would not obligate county funds but would preserve eligibility for downtown improvement grants and technical assistance.
Separately, staff member Amber updated the commission on a tower-lease matter and said she was exploring potential federal (DOJ) communications grant funding that might reduce reliance on local funds; she said details and reimbursement terms are still being investigated. A resident raised pipeline-construction damage to a local road; Mayor McCall said the pipeline company (Enbridge) committed to repairing roads and the county is tracking progress.
These budget ordinances and amendments are scheduled for formal readings and hearings in the coming meeting cycle.
