Summary

At its Nov. 17 meeting the Dickson County Commission approved minutes, reappointed a Board of Zoning Appeals member, ordered a speed reduction study for Willow Branch Road, authorized multiple budget and grant actions, and approved property purchases and notary commissions.

Dickson County commissioners handled a slate of routine business items on Nov. 17, approving minutes, appointments, routine resolutions and several administrative actions by voice vote.

The commission approved the Oct. 20, 2025 regular session minutes on a motion by Commissioner Petty, seconded by Commissioner Gray. Commissioner Beatty moved to reappoint David Smith to the Board of Zoning Appeals; that reappointment passed without discussion.

Sheriff Eads presented a 7‑day speed study for Willow Branch Road that recorded 4,440 vehicles and an 85th‑percentile speed of about 27–30 mph and recommended reducing the posted limit from 45 to 30 mph. "It is a narrow road... Still have a recommendation of resetting the speed from 45 to 30," Eads said; Commissioner Williams moved to adopt the recommendation and the motion passed by voice vote.

The commission authorized the county mayor to deed a parcel known as the Folsom Farm at 2 Mile Road to the water authority in exchange for work the authority will perform for the county's fire and ambulance services. Commissioners also approved the county's purchase of approximately 3.43 acres on Pawn Road for $75,000 from the family of the late Billy Lemassus to preserve and potentially expand the convenience center.

Other approvals included the county's 2026 holiday schedule, authorization to apply for a historic development grant (up to $1,000,000 with a $500,000 match) for courthouse work, and budget amendments for school funds and Burns Middle School HVAC matters presented by Dr. Sutherland. The commission also approved a list of notaries.

Most routine items passed by voice vote and did not generate extended debate.
