Commission staff read the bids received for the coming year and the commission voted to approve the awards. Items and apparent awardees read into the record included hot mix (Wiregrass Construction), emulsified asphalt (Ergon), guardrail (R & C Construction), crushed stone (Martin Marietta), striping (Kerr Brothers), road-name signs (GNC Supply) and tires (Tire World). After the reading the commission approved the slate by voice vote.

The commission also approved a motion to remove junk tires and approved changing the posted speed limit on Knesset Road from 35 mph to 25 mph after the sheriff's request; commissioners voted in favor by voice.

Superintendent and procurement details: the commission granted the superintendent permission to pursue a tractor (described in the meeting as an R84 model) via state contract, noting an estimated price of about $190,000 and a lead time of six to eight months. The superintendent said he wanted authorization to order in advance because the equipment will not be received until the next budget year; the commission approved the request.

Meeting schedule and procurement timing: the commission voted to move the next regular meeting to July 10. The county attorney explained that June is the last month of the fiscal year and that urgency justified approving bids that were not on the printed agenda; the attorney advised that future bid approvals be placed on the agenda. Commissioners characterized this as an emergency approval because summer work must be scheduled.

Ending: All motions reported in the superintendent's and procurement items were approved by voice vote with commissioners responding \"Aye.\" No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wilson County Road Commission - June 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Wilson County Road Commission on June 5 approved 2025-26 vendor awards, authorized junk-tire removal, reduced the speed limit on Knesset Road to 25 mph, moved the July meeting to July 10 and gave staff permission to order a tractor via state contract.","taxTitle","Wilson County, Tennessee","taxId",19117,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210947,"Residents tell Wilson County Road Commission ditch, pipe work is flooding yards and causing mold",1165,135000,1300000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702679-2ecb99a85f00ca40b51b6f4b37069b17&start=135&end=1300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702679-2ecb99a85f00ca40b51b6f4b37069b17/thumbnail_135000.jpg","/articles/6210947/Wilson-County/Tennessee/Residents-tell-Wilson-County-Road-Commission-ditch-pipe-work-is-flooding-yards-and-causing-mold","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210947-a27aa39109aece31e3fba9b5995295ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1771060293&Signature=ivbb7~lWjMaYS5BWHuJQpy80R4RlT5xr9AeDLmKxy0Mpj8~cduEMOfSbAkns-g-KgCYpLIq0Z0ZcMHOKKqLcOLbVSARY518hDt~vbBsQYVSiEB92GNTuQAlx4DnfLyp4kBxt5mUWvZF~WE3qSEi2Gvxwo9mtrvXQyeuXN1TzydD7sdWniU1gQleMKtoPGO8GK5NwgiBydwkbyfNJoLLDsy1yqsna8REwHFzO7Uh4cMWkud-SM-Vk26TE4NmLCbz88naDDJFWC~0kIphvnfEBfh-fbOFnvCvhdXh6fkCtVbYG8k8MLucwA9r-F01CoNKtTmwyneMXOUGmAh-06MtRLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Wilson County Road Commission meeting on June 5, resident Patricia Tuttle said recent markings by 811 showed crews preparing to dig up a pipe on a neighboring property and asked the commission to stop plans that she said would send water onto her yard and her neighbors' property.

Tuttle said the pipe had previously been capped and a ditch created, which stopped recurring standing water that had caused mold under her house. \"We had mold issues underneath the house because water was getting underneath the house. We have had 0 problems with mold underneath the house since then,\" she said.

Why it matters: Tuttle told commissioners the change would move water onto a narrow area of properties and could create health and property impacts for elderly residents. She cited the Wilson County Road Commission's own rights-of-way rules and cited Tennessee Code 28's statute of limitations as limiting legal remedies for work done in 2007\u00102008.

During public comment Tuttle described photos she brought to show the pool, field, road barrier and where she says water collects and crosses Glable Road. She said flags placed by 811 led her to believe crews planned to excavate and \"replace it, whatever at that point in time.\" She suggested using rock-cutting equipment or renting a rock saw to avoid opening the pipe and asked the commission to \"have it reconsidered from taking this pipe out.\" She also said county crews previously created a ditch that helped flow water to a creek and keep it off yards.

Commission members and staff asked questions but did not record a formal order at the meeting. One commission member responded during the exchange that they were not aware of recent driveway work and another member asked whether a permit had been filed for any right-of-way work; that permit requirement was cited by Tuttle when she quoted the road commission's rights-of-way regulations, which she said require a permit specifying date, time, location, company and estimated work period. Tuttle also said she believed the road division was scheduled to come out the following week to replace or clean the pipe, but when she asked for confirmation a commission member replied, \"No. I'm not sure.\"

Tuttle raised additional context: she said the property owner across the road had for-sale signs, that claims a neighbor made about crops were inaccurate (\"He has never had a crop. It's Grass. Just grass.\"), and that water from the neighbor's field had caused traffic closures.

No formal vote or directive was recorded in the meeting minutes on the specific right-of-way work during public comment. The commission moved on after closing public comment and beginning the superintendent's report.

Ending: Tuttle asked the commission to \"do something to correct this in the right way, not to put it on an individual,\" and handed the commission photographs and documents she said supported her account.","At the June 5 Wilson County Road Commission meeting, resident Patricia Tuttle urged the commission to reconsider plans to open or replace a pipe on a neighboring property, saying past changes caused flooding and mold under her house and that the county's right-of-way rules and state limits of action affect possible remedies.","actionData","errors"]
