Commissioners authorize collecting applications to fill Fourth District constable vacancy
Summary
Cocke County commissioners directed the county clerk to begin accepting applications for the Fourth District constable seat following the death of Daryl Cronin and reviewed eligibility paperwork requirements cited in the meeting record.
The Cocke County Board of Commissioners approved a motion to begin accepting applications to fill the Fourth District constable vacancy following the death of Daryl Cronin.
The meeting record states the county will accept affidavits of eligibility and proof of a satisfactory psychological evaluation. The transcript includes the meeting record's description of the psychological requirement as "a letter from the psychologist licensed in this state who has conducted a cognitive and psychological test on the candidate stating that the candidate is mentally and cognitively fit to perform the duties of a constable." The record also refers to "Tennessee coming in to tell you 810102, 1 8" but gives no further statutory citation in the transcript.
A county official present said the county clerk's office would begin taking applications, and the board voted to authorize that step by voice vote; the motion carried.
The record shows the board asked the clerk to run a public notice in the newspaper for applicants. The transcript does not record additional details about timelines for filing, the full statutory citation, or whether appointment or a special election will fill the vacancy; the clerk's office was directed to collect applications for commission consideration.
