Sevier County commissioners confirm medical examiner, approve proclamations and reschedule April meeting
Summary
At a March 11 steering committee meeting, Sevier County commissioners unanimously confirmed a County Medical Examiner appointment, approved four proclamations honoring county residents and school teams, accepted the March 18 final agenda and rescheduled the April meeting to April 8.
Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters presented a resolution confirming the county’s medical examiner and the steering committee voted unanimously to approve it. Commissioner Carroll Rauhuff moved the motion, which Commissioner Ronnie Allen seconded; all commissioners present voted yes.
The committee also approved four proclamations recognizing local individuals and school teams. The proclamations named Cindy Cameron Ogle and Dr. Debra Ann Cline for service to Sevier County, honored the Sevier County Junior High School girls basketball team for winning the 2024 TMSAA Class AAA state championship, and recognized the Pigeon Forge High School wrestling team for qualifying for the TSSAA Class A–AA state tournament. Rauhuff moved to accept all four proclamations and Commissioner Dale Hill seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Harold Pitner moved, with Commissioner Rauhuff seconding, to accept the Board of Commissioners’ final agenda for the March 18 meeting; that motion also passed unanimously. Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter informed the committee that the April meeting will be rescheduled to Monday, April 8. Commissioner Ray Ogle called the steering committee to order at 5:03 PM; the meeting adjourned at 5:09 PM after a motion to adjourn by Commissioner Ronnie Allen and a second from Commissioner Pitner.
Why it matters: Confirming a medical examiner ensures continuity for county death investigations and coroner-related administrative duties. The proclamations and scheduling votes are procedural actions that finalize the board’s agenda and calendar for the coming month.
Next steps: The Board of Commissioners will consider the approved final agenda at its March 18 meeting; the April steering committee meeting is now scheduled for April 8.
