The Bradley County Commission will meet today at noon for a voting session. Commissioners will be addressing several items.
A procedural resolution will be presented that would give the state permission to name a portion of the state road in front of Bradley Central High School after former Bearette, Rhyne Howard, who currently plays for the WNBA to recognize her achievements. The change would not be considered a road name change and would not affect the addresses of nearby businesses. The change would be symbolic in nature with signage.
The Legal and Legislative Committee also placed several items on today’s agenda.
The committee recommends the commission send a formal letter to their legislators regarding departments exceeding their budgets and asking how they would direct the county to handle overages.
Another resolution will ask legislators to reconsider the process for awarding broadband grants to internet service providers and the penalties should the provider not fulfill the full terms of the grant.
The committee would also like to explore the use of DUI reserve funds. Under the proposal from the committee, the first $10k for indigent monitoring and then equally splitting the remaining funds to misdemeanor probation and adult drug court.
Lastly, the committee is recommending that the commission require a fiscal note for resolutions. American Rescue Plan Funds would be exempt. The committee feels a fiscal note would provide pertinent information for commissioners prior to voting.
The Finance Committee will also put forth a resolution authorizing the termination of an interest rate swap agreement with the public building authority of Sevier County.
WCLE will have full coverage of the meeting and you can watch the meeting live at MixTV.TV.
