Commission names law director or designee as Title VI coordinator
Summary
The commission designated the county law director (or the law director’s designee) to serve as the county’s Title VI coordinator to meet federal grant requirements; commissioners deferred budget impacts and asked for a recommendation from law and finance.
Sumner County commissioners on Jan. 13 named the county law director, or the law director’s designee, to serve as the county’s Title VI coordinator to satisfy federal nondiscrimination requirements tied to grants and countywide civil-rights obligations.
Commissioners described the role as primarily administrative — ensuring required information is posted and training is available — and said the designation is needed to remain compliant with grant provisions. A motion was amended to specify appointment of the law director or a designee within the law office; the motion passed with ayes recorded.
Commissioners acknowledged the appointment could affect the law department’s workload and asked the law director and finance director to review whether any budget adjustments or part-time assignment are necessary; the item was deferred for a recommendation to the commission.
