Town of Jackson trustees record routine motions, defer new code review to August
The Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Town of Jackson met July 13, 2020, and recorded motions on routine business while deferring a proposed municipal code and a code-enforcement appointment for review at the board's August meeting.

Trustee Jim Parker moved to approve the meeting agenda; Trustee Mike Harrell seconded the motion. The minutes record similar procedural motions later in the meeting, including motions to approve bills and to consider the financial report. The minutes list who moved and seconded motions but do not include vote tallies or explicit stated outcomes in these segments.

On the agenda items that will return to the board in August, Trustee Jim Parker moved that the new mayor and board review the proposed code-enforcement officer appointment at the August meeting; Trustee Don Havard seconded the motion. A separate motion to allow the new mayor and board to review a proposed ordinance adopting and enacting a new town code was made by Trustee Jim Parker and seconded by Trustee Mike Harrell. The minutes record both motions as matters for future review rather than final decisions.

The Jackson Hardwood tax-exempt program also appeared on the agenda; Trustee Jim Parker moved to accept the program and Trustee Mike Harrell seconded. The minutes record the motion text but do not provide details about the substance of the program or a recorded vote in this segment.

Adjournment was moved by Trustee Jim Parker and seconded by Trustee Mike Harrell later in the meeting. The minutes do not state formal vote results for the motions listed in the recorded segments.
