Why it matters: The quarterly report informs oversight of school finances; the capital outlay reimbursement note allows the county to record capital purchases and then reimburse accounts at year end rather than passing multiple individual amendments throughout the year.
Chair and staff described the school report as reflecting one-time state teacher-pay money that will be amended into school budgets. Commissioner Gray publicly complimented the school board for coming in with a better-than-projected result, noting the board avoided using a planned draw on fund balance and finished with a surplus.
County finance staff explained the reimbursement capital outlay note covers year-end capital purchases budgeted during the prior fiscal year and limits the number of individual transactions by consolidating them into a single fund-level resolution. The commission moved and passed the school quarterly report, the budget amendments and the capital outlay reimbursement note by voice votes of \"aye.\"","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dickson County Commission Meeting 9-15-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Dickson County Commission approved the quarterly financial report for school funds, multiple budget amendments and a year-end reimbursement capital outlay note to cover purchases in landfill, highway and general funds.","taxTitle","Dickson County, Tennessee","taxId",71155,"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},5984488,"Commission defers Town Branch speed limit and hears recommendation to lower Wilson Road to 30 mph",112,907000,1019000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5775368-dfc8d401c41198ee83a647016aff0d2f&start=907&end=1019","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5775368-dfc8d401c41198ee83a647016aff0d2f/thumbnail_907000.jpg","/articles/5984488/Dickson-County/Tennessee/Commission-defers-Town-Branch-speed-limit-and-hears-recommendation-to-lower-Wilson-Road-to-30-mph","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984488-b23667cb4605b01204c1c82813679643/orig.mp4?Expires=1770636090&Signature=jkSjP7Syb6r-jsnNEHa~qAS-AVL8d9oLPElXg5mAjDn1jXBuzmHtsONkfyQ4l~SxRlwH5U6c4FisGmtZHsVgplRbRfzyarreV0HAinTeYCRBKaNIbSUPWQf1gqtCZChzFluB3N4BzZI9rny9cEuTbQ4tAVl4MiZ3gadGy-9SG6d4k6r~QdSWquKQJAr7wiBgWEpvHnJWTiOwetvo21RkNaoEPGtxMKwnQ3TwQNgw5mvM2AfN40BLhrfsjE9BCtYPn3Ol4zat91llCa2YEzp2yvfkwk6eUtcOuknb7P7QDLB8nOw15lUWeslv5hMQWdn6EqzkxnoW1IjmBrG9iT~OoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County Commission on Sept. 15 deferred action on a Town Branch Road speed-limit request to the Oct. 20 regular meeting and heard a separate recommendation to lower the posted limit on Wilson Road to 30 mph after a county traffic survey.
Why it matters: Speed-limit changes affect enforcement, driver expectations and local traffic safety; commissioners sought input from law enforcement and deferred one item to allow additional work before a decision.
Sheriff’s office staff or a county traffic engineer reported that the Wilson Road survey ran roughly seven days and recorded 2,357 vehicles, of which 951 were speeding, on a posted 45-mph segment. Based on that sample, the presenter recommended lowering the posted limit to 30 mph. Commissioners noted that Commissioner McElwain represents the district where at least one of the roads lies and was not present; the commission agreed to move the matter to the October meeting to allow district input.
Town Branch Road was not ready for action at the Sept. 15 meeting and the commission agreed without objection to consider it at the Oct. 20 meeting. No ordinance changes were adopted on Sept. 15; the items were deferred for further review and action at the next regular session.","Town Branch Road speed-limit request was moved to the October meeting; a traffic survey of Wilson Road showed about 2,357 vehicles over seven days and recommended lowering the posted limit to 30 mph.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5984495,"Dickson County joins state opioid abatement agreement; commission authorizes settlement participation",107,1067000,1174000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5775368-dfc8d401c41198ee83a647016aff0d2f&start=1067&end=1174","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5775368-dfc8d401c41198ee83a647016aff0d2f/thumbnail_1067000.jpg","/articles/5984495/Dickson-County/Tennessee/Dickson-County-joins-state-opioid-abatement-agreement-commission-authorizes-settlement-participation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984495-5f477ec8fc16e53d88017f6f0e8bafc1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770636090&Signature=YIz95xRe-AJ5OkcIwmq~BPuJY8SkPSpLJ34JNlHJ6GdIAuhe9nR8D4oUXMVWO~USDF5WwyAI7ZOWZHIljGt6gY~BBEHKPM5H92sdjMOPVVYmkEhLIteLFvk1obYd2je93TypKVAx0nubPiOHE0ojy8lVB5UStv6F38-LvA9HYb8Y5rQw506C7rRl7ythbpz1jNdWOSGwUDBETszRqKzlb6tvK0fgxg4GxS3th-OZr~HDExHZyEWFWcRIyJwezLNq~Woeb-7v7mjng3WK3OThCa1~7wo5PjxcdskyuYgzW7FUwUuF93a73CGQrVG598zvYLF7-2Urae1ztBBrlfGhUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County Commission on Sept. 15 passed a resolution authorizing the county to participate in the Tennessee State Subdivision opioid abatement agreement and to approve related settlement agreements. County legal staff said the county previously authorized broad participation in 2023 and the new resolution specifically names companies involved in current settlements.
Why it matters: Participation in state and national opioid settlements determines how abatement funds are allocated locally for treatment, prevention and related services.
County counsel summarized prior action: the commission voted in 2023 to participate in opioid litigation with the Tennessee Attorney General's office taking the lead. The current resolution was described as more specific to particular companies now settling. Counsel said the county had not yet received details on settlement terms and that the mayor would be involved in reviewing specific terms when they are provided.
Commissioner Spicer moved and Commissioner Williams seconded the resolution; the commission approved the measure on a voice vote of \"aye.\" No dollar amounts or program allocations were on the table at the Sept. 15 meeting.
What’s next: County staff will review settlement documents when provided and bring any required approvals, allocations or implementation plans back to the commission.","Commission approved a resolution authorizing Dickson County to join the Tennessee State Subdivision opioid abatement agreement and to participate in related settlement agreements; details of settlement terms were not available at the meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5984498,"Dickson County Commission authorizes $3 million grant application for flood recovery infrastructure",28,1038000,1066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5775368-dfc8d401c41198ee83a647016aff0d2f&start=1038&end=1066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5775368-dfc8d401c41198ee83a647016aff0d2f/thumbnail_1038000.jpg","/articles/5984498/Dickson-County/Tennessee/Dickson-County-Commission-authorizes-3-million-grant-application-for-flood-recovery-infrastructure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5984498-caa36de18b5c9b32b7db40c2b1766ddf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770636090&Signature=C7888MJwphLNQ8bZXtYNIt2biyj0FIk-ykVqDG~yRINywbUjTOGWjA9YikKcIlmAyXw2HqRvjJq9jicZClqTq2nDpid4zp1rgrfAByepGWkACJH7rxtRZuf1U2vHkRLUh7rk9Lx5Xw0jd2ckcbuQ1t1IeP478scWxETPNp-B-uQvdLclBOzcPURbqdQxlcMsJyPL8Tn4TgmPdLwAJLTLyMzJk6j-lptSZyQkH1Xr4~hsI2MF-~JM6UiDtNgqsJFgceU0zS9Q2urzvaRotUaUH28artucAKejJyLsjsirFNeXH5kaA0DiBl0GwuuRhMfbWhL9-3M4EgEgHCR0LdS6rA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County Commission on Sept. 15 approved a resolution authorizing the county to apply for a $3,000,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development to help fund infrastructure repairs related to damage from the 2021 flood. The resolution gives county staff permission to apply for and accept the funds if awarded.
Why it matters: The grant would provide state recovery funds targeted to infrastructure damage from the 2021 flood, potentially helping restore roads, drainage and other public facilities in affected areas.
Commissioners opened the floor for a motion; Commissioner Ledger moved and Commissioner Beatty seconded. The resolution passed on a voice vote of \"aye.\" The application authority only authorizes the county to apply and to accept the award; the commission did not appropriate specific project contracts or expenditures during the Sept. 15 meeting.

The applicant asked the commission to rezone the parcel from A-1 (agricultural) to C-2 (general commercial) to allow retail development. \"The traffic count for this property is right at 14,000 cars today,\" applicant Johnny Crow said during the hearing, citing research he said supports commercial uses.
Why it matters: The parcel sits in a commercial corridor adjacent to a Phillips 66 service station, and rezoning could change what uses are permitted there. Commissioners pressed staff and counsel about how quickly a rezoned parcel could be developed and whether a rezoning would create vested rights that force particular uses.
Planning staff presented the item, saying the applicant seeks to change zoning from A-1 to C-2 and noting the planning commission approved the request on Aug. 14. Crow told commissioners he purchased the site about six months ago, described it as vacant and said he would market it to retail developers rather than developing it himself. Crow said potential uses supported by the traffic volume could include retail and auto-related services.
Commissioners asked several procedural and practical questions. Commissioner Gray asked whether a rezoning like this creates a period in which the owner must begin development to retain vested rights; counsel answered that such time-limited vested rights generally apply to planned-unit developments and similar rezonings, not a straight A-1-to-C-2 rezoning. Commissioner Brett asked whether the parcel touches other commercial property; Crow said the Phillips 66 lies to the north and a former flower shop is to the south. Commissioners and Crow also discussed a railroad track bordering the rear of the property; Crow described it as abandoned but said he did not offer independent verification.
Action: Commissioner Grove moved, and Commissioner Petty seconded, that the rezoning proceed to the commission's October 20 regular session for final action. The motion carried with a voice vote of \"aye.\" The commission did not adopt a final zoning ordinance on Sept. 15.
What’s next: The rezoning will return to the commission for final consideration at the Oct. 20, 2025 regular session. Any future development would be required to meet the C-2 zoning table and permit processes if the rezoning is approved.","After a public hearing, the Dickson County Commission advanced a rezoning request by Johnny Crow to its October regular meeting. The applicant cited heavy traffic and interest in retail development; commissioners asked about vested rights, adjacent uses and the status of a nearby rail line.","actionData","errors"]
