Summary
On Jan. 21 the Dickson County Commission unanimously accepted the 2025 road report, set a 40 mph speed limit on Southerland Road at property-owner request, and authorized a five-year software licensing agreement (CADMUS) for the Sheriff’s Office with an initial cost of $3,500 and $1,125 monthly service fees.
The Dickson County Commission unanimously approved three resolutions at its Jan. 21 meeting: acceptance of the 2025 Dickson County Road Report, adoption of a 40 mph speed limit on Southerland Road, and authorization for the county to enter a five-year software licensing and service agreement with Autonomy Today LLC for law-enforcement software known as CADMUS.
Resolution 01-2025-01 accepted the county road report after a motion by Commissioner Mike Petty and a second by Commissioner Cindi Gray.
Resolution 01-2025-02 responded to property-owner requests to reduce the speed limit along Southerland Road (from State Highway 48 N/TN-48 until it intersects Rock Church Road); Commissioner Danny Williams moved the change and Commissioner Dwight McIllwain seconded. The commission set the limit at 40 miles per hour.
Resolution 01-2025-03 authorizes the county to sign a services agreement with Autonomy Today LLC on behalf of the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office to purchase mobile cloud devices and license CADMUS. The terms reported in the minutes are a five-year initial term with automatic one-year renewals unless terminated on 60 days’ notice; initial purchase cost of $3,500 and monthly service cost of $1,125. Commissioner Jody Britt moved the resolution and Commissioner Becky Spicer seconded; the motion passed by unanimous aye voice vote.
Why it matters: the road report acceptance reflects the county’s annual assessment of road conditions and priorities; the Southerland Road speed limit change responds to property-owner safety concerns and will affect travel along the roadway; the CADMUS contract obligates recurring county spending for law-enforcement software and equipment and includes an automatic-renewal clause. The minutes do not record any recorded roll-call dissent on these items; each passed by unanimous voice vote.
