The Dyersburg board met Dec. 15 and approved a slate of routine items, including a zoning change for 2040 Sylvan Road, a grant participation resolution, and a recommended procurement award.

Presiding Official opened a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to rezone the property at 2040 Sylvan Road from B-2 (general trading services) to M-1 (light industrial). The planning commission had previously approved the change and the presiding official said the notice was properly advertised. "This has come before the planning commission," the presiding official said, and the board voted after a motion from Joey Harrison, seconded by James Baltimore; the motion carried on a voice vote.

The board also approved Resolution 12/15/2025 to participate in the property conservation matching grant program. The presiding official described the program as reimbursing eligible purchases such as "security cameras, security fencing, lighting" and said "the grant amount is up to $5,000 based on the total insured value for each entity." Dennis Moody moved to approve and Ricky Hammond seconded; the motion carried.

On procurement, the board reviewed two bids to replace a recreation activity center pool pump. The low bidder was Cottrell Electric at $10,200; Memphis Pool Supply submitted a bid of $11,001.78. The presiding official recommended awarding to Cottrell Electric as the low bidder; no roll-call vote or detailed tally is recorded in the transcript.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved minutes from its Dec. 1 meeting (motion by Rick Crawford, seconded by Coach Cole) and heard brief reports and recognitions. James Baltimore praised warning and street crews for working in cold conditions, and Aneta thanked Zac McBroom and street department staff for helping deliver Goodfellas project food boxes. The meeting closed after holiday remarks and acknowledgments.

What happens next: The rezoning ordinance was approved at the meeting; the transcript records the board's voice approval but does not include implementation details or effective dates. Participation in the matching grant requires submission of receipts to receive reimbursement up to the stated program limit of $5,000. The procurement recommendation names Cottrell Electric as low bidder; the transcript does not record a formal contract award vote or signature date.
