Smith County Commission approves budget amendments, floodplain ordinance and other routine measures; names bridge for local couple
Summary
At its January meeting the Smith County Commission approved grouped budget amendments, adopted floodplain zoning updates tied to FEMA, rescinded the prior budget timeline, named a bridge for Wally and Hilda Platt, and appointed a member to the county 9-1-1 board.
The Smith County Commission approved several resolutions and routine items at its January meeting, including grouped budget amendments, a floodplain zoning ordinance update to align with FEMA maps, a resolution rescinding the current budget timeline, and the naming of a bridge in the Difficult community in memory of Wally and Hilda Platt.
Commissioners voted to group and approve three budget amendments (listed in the meeting packet) without extended discussion. The commission then approved a floodplain zoning ordinance update that staff described as adopting FEMA’s revised floodplain maps and preserving existing regulatory language; staff said map changes affected a few river-adjacent parcels.
A separate resolution rescinded the commission’s prior budget-timeline resolution so that the newly constituted budget committee may set the schedule. The commission also approved a resolution naming a bridge on Camp Hollow Road (off Little Salt Lake Creek Road) in the Difficult community in memory of Wally and Hilda Platt; the resolution included biographical details read into the record by the mayor.
The commission appointed Commissioner Steven Leach to the Smith County 9-1-1 board and approved a batch of notary commissions listed on the consent agenda. The mayor noted the county will forward its updated floodplain ordinance and maps to FEMA for review.
These items were put forward as resolutions or routine approvals and were carried by roll-call or voice votes as recorded in the meeting minutes; no formal amendments or lengthy public debate was recorded on these particular items during the meeting.
