Loading...
Summary
Sumner County commissioners raised questions about ongoing payments to a regional commission and scheduled a presentation from the Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC) to explain services and dues; Commissioners noted the county is still paying dues despite prior expectations of withdrawal from some regional arrangements.
Several commissioners said the county remains on the hook for dues to a regional commission and asked staff and invited organizations to explain the ongoing payments.
Commissioners reported they believed the county had discontinued some regional membership dues but found line items in the budget indicating payments continue. Commissioners requested more detail on what the county receives for the payments and asked GNRC to appear at the June 9 budget meeting to explain its services and charges to the county.
Board members compared the situation to previous action on the regional transportation authority and said the county has in the past ended participation in regional entities after reviewing costs and services. Commissioners said they expect GNRC to explain why the county is still paying dues and what the county receives in return.
What’s next: GNRC will appear at the county’s June 9 budget meeting to present its role and answer commissioners’ questions about dues and services.
