At its Feb. 24 meeting, the Hickman County Board of Commissioners approved an amended agenda, adopted minutes, confirmed eight notaries, filled two Industrial Development Board openings, approved multiple budget amendments and other resolutions; most roll-call items passed 13–0 with one absence.
Hickman County commissioners approved the meeting agenda as amended and took a series of routine and substantive votes on Feb. 24, including confirmations of notaries, two Industrial Development Board nominations, multiple budget amendments, and several resolutions and land-use items. Most roll-call votes recorded were 13 yes and one absent.
The board first approved the agenda after moving resolution 25-09 up to precede committee reports. The minutes from the Jan. 27 meeting were adopted without dissent. The board then approved eight notaries — Peggy Bowles, Loranda Borja, Jennifer Jacob, Casey King, Amanda McCree, Marlo Roscoe, Taylor Springer and James Tanner — by roll call.
Commissioners voted to confirm two nominations to the Industrial Development Board: Jason Beckham (Fourth District) and Taylor Nash (at-large). The board also approved a series of budget amendments covering the sheriff’s office, EMS and EMA vehicle purchases, solid-waste recycling and convenience-center enhancements, and a school/TCAT item. Those budget amendments were presented as items 25-42, 25-43, 25-49, 25-44, 25-45, 25-46, 25-47 and 25-48; each passed on roll call with the same recorded tally.
Other formal actions included adoption of Resolution 25-09 (supporting state bills aimed at protecting the Duck River and related creeks), approval of a rezoning application previously deferred to the planning commission (Resolution 25-05, rezoning property at 10004 North Hill Road from A-1 agriculture to R-1 suburban residential), and adoption of Resolution 25-08 to close and delete a portion of a county road from the official county road list. The board also approved the finance summary, fund-balance items and the schedule to begin the county budget process that starts next month.
