Sevier County intergovernmental committee hears department reports and convenience-center update

Commissioner Kent Woods opened the Sevier County Intergovernmental Committee meeting at 5:00 p.m. Feb. 9 in Courtroom 100E.

The committee received routine department reports. Jimmy Bohanan, director of Fleet Services, presented the Fleet Services report, and Dan King, director of Solid Waste Services, presented the Solid Waste Services report. The transcript records that both directors presented their departmental reports but does not provide details of the metrics, recommendations, or requests they may have made.

Mayor Larry Waters provided an update on the Pigeon Forge Convenience Center. The transcript states that Mayor Waters gave the committee an update but does not specify operational changes, timelines, budget figures, or next steps. Later in the meeting Mayor Waters and Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter also outlined organizational changes in the Mayor’s Office; the transcript records that an update was provided but does not list specific staffing or structural details.

Commissioner Jack Parton asked which department heads report monthly to the Intergovernmental Committee. Mayor Waters responded with information about which departments provide monthly information to the commissioners; the transcript records the clarification but does not enumerate each department in this excerpt.

At the end of the meeting Commissioner Chad Ogle (recorded in the minutes as "C. Ogle") moved to adjourn; Commissioner Jack Parton seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at 5:48 p.m.

Minutes in the transcript are brief and largely procedural: department reports, informational updates from the mayor’s office, and a short question-and-answer exchange about departmental reporting. No formal votes on ordinances, contracts, budgets, or policies are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
