Summary
Summary of the formal votes taken by the Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Sept. 9: pay‑study ordinance approved on second reading; lateral‑transfer pay criteria and a TDEC grant resolution passed unanimously; a court‑cost increase received first reading with the two‑week rule waived.
The Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen took the following formal actions on Sept. 9:
Ordinance 2025‑12 (second reading) — Amend Title 4, Chapter 2 (personnel merit system) to expand the pay‑study scope to include supplemental pays and other forms of compensation: Approved on second reading after debate and one failed amendment. A separate aldermanic amendment to form an ad hoc committee to select comparator jurisdictions failed 8–4; the main ordinance passed unanimously.
Ordinance 2025‑15 (second reading) — Amend Title 4, Chapter 3 to approve pay criteria for lateral transfers within public‑safety departments: Approved on second reading (unanimous vote).
Resolution 2025‑29 — Apply for a TDEC stream and wetland grant for various public‑works projects: Approved (unanimous vote).
Ordinance 2025‑17 (first reading; two‑week rule waived) — Amend Title 3, Chapter 3 (city court costs) to increase certain city court costs pursuant to state law: First reading approved with the two‑week rule waived so the matter may proceed more quickly; staff said the change reflects an increase the municipality must remit to the state.
Votes recorded by the mayor during the meeting reflected unanimous passage for the items above except for the failed ad hoc committee amendment to Ordinance 2025‑12 (which was 8 in opposition, 4 in favor).
