Knox County meeting adopts agenda, approves prior minutes with one abstention; new member introduced
Summary
Knox County officials opened a routine meeting with roll call, a devotional and the Pledge of Allegiance, adopted the day's agenda, approved prior minutes with one abstention from new member Michael Biddle, and introduced Biddle as a new member from Farragut.
Debbie Stafford, identified herself at the meeting, called the Knox County session to order at 8:30 a.m. and asked members to review the agenda before a motion to adopt was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Damon Rawls delivered the meeting's devotional, citing Mark 12:28–31 and urging members to 'love thy neighbor as much as you love thyself' and to treat others with dignity. Byron Wood led the Pledge of Allegiance.
The body then moved to approve the prior meeting minutes. Damon Rawls moved to adopt the minutes; the motion passed by voice vote with Michael Biddle abstaining, saying he 'wasn't here, so I can't vote on it.'
Under new business, the chair recognized Michael Biddle as a new member. Biddle introduced himself: 'My name is Michael Biddle and I live in Farragut.' During remarks he referenced his past work with King Arthur.
The chair announced the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 14, expected to be held in the main assembly room unless construction continues. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
No ordinances, resolutions, contracts, hearings or staff policy presentations were recorded on the transcript for this session.
