Public forum urges mask mandate; commissioners ask county attorney to research options
Summary
During public forum an at-large Democratic committeeman asked the commission to enforce a countywide face-mask mandate; later two commissioners asked the County Attorney to investigate whether the commission could require masks. The Technical Committee also approved laptops for commissioners with COVID funds (10–2).
At the meeting’s public forum, Michael S. Lottman, At-Large Committeeman of the Cheatham County Democratic Committee, addressed the commission and urged enforcement of a countywide face-mask mandate.
Later in the meeting, commissioners Diana Pike Lovell and Chairman Donnie Jordan asked County Attorney Michael Bligh to look into whether the commission has authority to mandate masks in Cheatham County.
Separately, the Technical Committee moved to approve laptops for commissioners and the County Mayor to be used for commission meetings; the motion passed by roll call vote 10 Yes, 2 No (Gary Binkley and Ann Jarreau recorded as No). Road & Bridge also adopted Fill Material Transportation Regulations unanimously.
Minutes do not show a binding policy decision on masks; they record a referral to the County Attorney to research legal options.
