Rhea County commissioners place archives contract, budget calendar and multiple grants on future agenda
Summary
At a July 25 workshop, Rhea County commissioners agreed to place an archives contract (listed at $19,869), a budget calendar, a corrections lease amendment, highway safety grants with a potential local match, weather-station procurement and a retroactive BDST loan resolution on a future agenda for formal consideration.
Rhea County commissioners met in a July 25 workshop and agreed to place several administrative and funding items on a future agenda for formal consideration.
Unidentified Speaker 1 told the panel the archives contract would be listed on the agenda and said the amount was $19,869, and that approving the contract would allow the mayor to sign it. The commission also agreed to add an agreement between the Department of Health and Ray Kemp to a future meeting for further review.
The group reviewed a budget calendar for the coming year and agreed the process would be stricter than last year; the calendar will be circulated to members by email so no one is caught off guard. The commission also agreed to place an amendment to a partner corrections lease (a date amendment) on a future agenda for formal action.
Several safety grants from the highway department were discussed. Unidentified Speaker 1 reported speaking with Mr. Wilkes, who indicated he might provide the required local match if a grant is approved. The grants described include installation of reflectors on guardrails and updates to roadway signage. The commission agreed to add the safety-grant items to a future agenda.
Officials discussed procurement of county weather stations that measure wind, rain and drought indicators; a speaker said 10-meter-capacity stations are being produced and that installation is expected in coming months, with siting and clearings to be coordinated with county property staff.
Unidentified Speaker 1 asked that a retroactive resolution for a BDST loan — described in the meeting as following a 10-year capitalized payment format — be prepared and placed on the agenda. No formal votes were recorded in the workshop; the items were placed on future agendas for formal consideration and potential action.
The workshop included a brief guest introduction: Mayor Harley spoke about looking forward to working with county officials. The meeting concluded with routine announcements and adjournment.
