The Bradley County Commission met last night.

 

The agenda was light as the commissioners are preparing for Mayor Gary Davis’ budget proposal at the next meeting. 

 

Mayor Gary Davis gave an update on the Septic Repair Program.

 

226 projects have been processed, 13 sewer hook-ups, 91, permits have been issued, 77 projects are under contract, and 33 projects have been completed. The Mayor hopes the program will wrap up this year so the county will not have to spend more money on administrative costs. 

 

The Solid Waste and Landfill Committee also met yesterday and discussed the monitoring of the odor from the landfill. The commission currently receives a monthly report that monitors the odors from the landfill. The committee voted unanimously to ask for a one-page summary report from the monitoring service, EnviroSuite, so that the commission can easily communicate with constituents and have a better understanding of the report. 

 

The committee also will ask the Mayor’s Office to assume the role of the main point of contact for the monitoring system and EnviroSuite. 

 

Both items will be placed on the next voting meeting agenda.

 

The next meeting of the Bradley County Commission will be on Monday, June 5th at 7:00 PM.
