Summary
At its Dec. 15 meeting, the Cocke County Legislative Body approved a series of items by voice vote or roll call, including purchase of body cameras using SRO funds, authorizing the IDB to market county property (411), adoption of the Home Rehabilitation Program procedures, and actions on surplus fire equipment and a donation of a fire truck.
The Cocke County Legislative Body took a number of routine and substantive votes at its Dec. 15 meeting:
- Purchase of body cameras with SRO funding: The budget committee recommended and the CLB approved the purchase; the transcript records a roll-call approval though no dollar amount was stated on the record.
- Industrial Development Board/partnership authorization to market the 411 property: The body approved a motion to allow the IDB/partnership to market the property to developers to generate sales activity.
- Fire equipment surplus and rotation policy: The public-safety committee recommended retaining a rotation system to offer surplus equipment first to volunteer fire departments; commissioners agreed policy language should be drafted. Separately, the CLB approved a motion to give one surplus fire truck (recipient referenced as Kyle Street) to a volunteer agency.
- Home Rehabilitation Program: Commissioners approved a state-required resolution adopting program policies and procedures for the Home Rehabilitation Program, a standard state contract for home repair grants.
Other routine approvals included acceptance of minutes and notary appointments. Where the record notes voice votes the clerk recorded the motion as approved; roll-call actions were conducted where required by the agenda.
No specific dollar amounts for the body-camera purchase or the donation of equipment were recorded on the transcript; staff will finalize administrative paperwork and follow up on policy drafting where required.
