Committee forwards Airport Authority and civil service nominees, postpones Solid Waste appointment

The Sumner County Committee on Committees voted to forward a nomination to the regional airport authority, advanced two civil service board nominees, and postponed action on two Solid Waste Board nominees to the next meeting.

Airport authority: The committee approved the mayor’s recommendation to appoint Samuel Soaresan Soaresano (name as provided in the packet) to a five-year term on the Sumner County Airport Authority. The chair announced the vote as 4 in favor, 1 opposed; the transcript did not identify the commissioner who opposed the nomination.

Civil service board: The committee moved to forward William Moody and Terry (last name not specified in the transcript) for two-year terms on the civil service board; commissioners said resumes were in the packet and the sheriff had reached out in support. The action was advanced to the full commission for final approval.

Solid Waste Board: The mayor’s recommendations for two appointments to the Sumner County Solid Waste Board — including Ada Nelson — were discussed but postponed. One commissioner said she had not spoken with the recommended individuals and requested time to review resumes; the committee agreed to revisit the item next month.

Other business and adjournment: Commissioners reported no new health-and-safety orders. The committee adjourned after the listed business.

Ending: The committee’s votes move three nominations toward the full county commission and defer one action to allow additional review by commissioners.
