CHARLOTTE, Tenn. — The Dickson County Commission on March 20 approved a series of routine resolutions covering personnel policies, budget amendments and grant actions.
Commissioners acknowledged and approved an employee handbook for the County Highway Department (Resolution 03-2023-01). They also adopted a Policy & Procedures Manual for the Judicial Commissioners (Resolution 03-2023-02). Both measures passed by unanimous aye voice votes after motions by Commissioners Becky Spicer and Randy Simpkins, respectively.
The commission authorized certain amendments to county school funds (Resolution 03-2023-03) and to the General Purpose Fund (141), Federal Projects Fund (142) and Cafeteria Fund (143) (Resolution 03-2023-07); both passed unanimously.
On grants, the commission authorized acceptance of a Tennessee Department of Health Health Capital Investment Project grant (Resolution 03-2023-04). The minutes list Dickson County’s estimated amount at $1,047,900; the grant is structured as an 80/20 reimbursement (the recorded text lists 80% reimbursement). The body also authorized the county to apply for and accept a $160,983.02 grant for violent crime intervention for the Sheriff’s Department through the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration; the minutes record this as a 100% grant requiring no county contribution (Resolution 03-2023-06). Both grant resolutions passed by unanimous aye voice votes.
A separate zoning-map amendment item (Resolution 03-2023-05) appears in the agenda to rezone a 6.39-acre lot identified as Parcel 018.00 of Tax Map 086 from A-1 to C-1 for property owner Sylvia Storage, LLC.
