Committee forwards speed-limit resolution; record shows inconsistent road name
Summary
The Legislative Committee forwarded a resolution to lower county speed limits under Tennessee Code Annotated §55-8-153(d); the resolution heading references Oak Grove Road but the resolution text and road details list Pine Bluff Road, an inconsistency noted in the record.
The Franklin County Legislative Committee voted July 6 to forward to the full county commission a resolution authorizing the county to reduce speed limits on specified county roads pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-8-153(d).
The meeting minutes record a motion by Dave Van Buskirk to approve sending a speed-study recommendation to the full commission; the committee recorded the vote as "all ayes." The resolution text included in the meeting packet is titled "RESOLUTION TO LOWER THE SPEED LIMIT OAK GROVE ROAD IN FRANKLIN COUNTY," but the detailed road description that follows lists Pine Bluff Road (Dist. 4) with grid and width specifications and a log mile of 3.837. The resolution directs that the sheriff recommend the posted speed and that new traffic signs be installed to depict the new limit.
Because the packet contains both the Oak Grove Road title and a Pine Bluff Road description, the record reflects an inconsistency between the heading and the road detail in the resolution text. The committee forwarded the resolution language as submitted for consideration by the full county commission; final action and any signage installation would follow full-commission approval and the sheriff's posted recommendation.
