Montgomery County commission lists consent agenda resolutions, appointments and budget amendments

The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners read multiple resolutions, nominations and appointments at its informal meeting on April 7, 2025. These items were presented on the meeting’s consent agenda; the transcript records their presentation but does not show roll-call votes or individual mover/second statements.

Resolutions and items presented on the consent agenda included:

- Resolution 25-4-1: Accept State of Tennessee endowment grant funds for essential equipment purchases for licensed ambulance services in Tennessee and appropriate funds.

- Resolution 25-4-2: Amend Montgomery County Resolution 24-12-12 regarding dedication of a county road (details not specified in transcript).

- Resolution 25-4-3: Acquire property at 1242 Crossland Avenue, 1240 Crossland Avenue and 1248 Crossland Avenue for use by Montgomery County to provide and expand services. The mayor said the county owns two parcels on the corner across from Vet Plaza, the owner accepted an appraisal, and funds are budgeted in the land acquisition fund.

- Resolution 25-4-4: Properly identify hours of operation for businesses selling beer as found in Tennessee Code Annotated §50-7-5301. A county staff member asked the commission, if it chooses to change the hours, to include a 30-day notification period so permit holders and law enforcement can be notified; the staff member said she did not oppose changes but requested time to notify permit holders.

- Resolution 25-4-5: Amend revenues and expenditures in the sheriff’s office and jail budgets for fiscal year 2025 (details not specified in transcript).

- Resolution 25-4-6: Approve an interlocal agreement with the City of Clarksville for utility development at Charles Bell Road; the mayor said this furthers highway-department utility relocation work.

- Resolution 25-4-7: Approve amendments to the 2024–25 school budget. Staff member Taylor presented changes including a $6.1 million increase on the revenue side driven by roughly $2.97 million in TISA-based outcomes and a $3,000,000 adjustment for sales tax revenue; expenditure changes include payroll and benefits reconciliations, a $270,000 insurance and liability increase, and funds for equipment tied to an Innovative School Models grant and a new garbage disposal truck.

- Resolution 25-4-8: Approve funds for the construction of Freedom Elementary School.

Also on the consent agenda were routine items for approval (commission minutes 03/17/2025, county clerk’s report and notary list) and mayoral appointments and nominations, including an appointment of Colleen Gildy to fulfill an unexpired term on the Clarksville-Montgomery County Insurance Trust and commissioner Brown’s appointment to the public records commission and building codes committee to fill unexpired terms.

The transcript indicates these items were presented as noncontroversial consent agenda items and that commissioners may request removal for separate consideration; however, the record does not include the commission’s final vote or whether any item was pulled for separate action.
