Votes at a glance: McMinnville board approves meters purchase, rezoning, budget amendment, surplus vehicles and wastewater rule correction
Summary
At its regular meeting the McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a series of routine and regulatory items: declaration of surplus vehicles, a technical correction to wastewater enforcement plan rule numbers, purchase of 1,000 water meters for $215,000, rezoning of 211 West Colville to C‑2, and a budget amendment ordinance.
The McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved multiple actions during its regular meeting, including administrative housekeeping, procurement, an ordinance rezoning property, and a budget amendment.
Surplus vehicles: The board declared two city vehicles surplus — a 2004 Ranger and a 2005 Chevrolet Impala — to be sold through GovDeals. The motion to declare the vehicles surplus was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote; specific mover/second names were not recorded in the public remarks.
Wastewater enforcement plan correction: The board approved a technical correction to the wastewater treatment plant enforcement response plan to fix a TDEC (Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) rule number misidentification. Staff indicated the change replaces an outdated rule number ("1,200‑0401" as recorded in older documents) with the current reference ("0400" as described in the staff presentation). A motion was made to make the change and the motion carried.
Water meters purchase (Resolution 2025‑15): The board approved resolution 2025‑15 to purchase 1,000 water meters, a master meter purchase totaling $215,000, and authorized the city administrator to issue the necessary purchase order. The motion was moved by Sally Brock and seconded by Carrie Morton. The roll call recorded: Sally Brock — Yes; Carrie Morton — Yes; Carrie Youngblood — Yes; Rachel Kirby — Abstain; Deidra Dunlap — Aye; Steve Harvey — Yes; Mayor (recorded) — Aye. The motion passed.
Rezoning (Ordinance 2025‑06): On its second and final reading the board approved Ordinance 2025‑06 to change the zoning classification of the property commonly known as 211 West Colville from R‑2 (medium‑density residential) to C‑2 (general commercial). The motion was made by Carrie Morton and seconded by Steve Harvey. The roll call showed one abstention: Rachel Kirby. The ordinance passed and the effective date was not specified on the record.
Budget amendment (Ordinance 2825‑08): The board took its second and final reading and approved Ordinance 2825‑08 amending the annual budget ordinance 2024‑17 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025. The motion was moved by Carrie Morton and seconded by Deidra Dunlap. A roll call recorded votes in favor and the ordinance passed.
Votes on the resolutions and ordinances were recorded in the meeting minutes; where a roll call was not taken, actions were approved by voice vote. The board had limited discussion on these items; staff provided brief clarifications when requested.
