Resident asks commission for update on $315,000 Oakley Ward abatement funds; commission to discuss in July workshop
Summary
A resident asked for public updates on a $315,000 Oakley Ward abatement fund and the status of the ad hoc committee 'Chatham Cares'; commissioners said they will address the issue in the July workshop.
During the public forum at the start of the May 19 meeting, resident Troy Sandifer asked the Cheatham County Commission for an update on $315,000 in Oakley Ward abatement funds and on the ad hoc committee formed to allocate them, named Chatham Cares.
Sandifer said the committee had met only once in the past year and requested the public be informed about progress and plans for the recently received $315,000. He named local leaders involved in the effort and asked the commission to make the status and plan public.
Commissioners responded that the topic will be placed on the July workshop agenda for further discussion. The exchange occurred during the public comment portion of the meeting and did not include a formal motion or vote.
Another public forum speaker, Jim Elmi, also addressed the commission earlier in the public comment period; the transcript records both comments as part of the open forum but does not show formal action beyond the commission’s agreement to discuss the Oakley Ward funds at the July workshop.
