The county adopted targeted budget amendments, approved multiple assets for surplus sale, accepted a $12,925 grant contract for the sheriff’s office (one abstention recorded), and authorized a three-year capital note not to exceed $1,531,485 for school buses and HVAC replacement.
The Cheatham County Legislative Body approved a set of budget amendments for the County General Fund and Highway/Public Works Fund and authorized several county assets as surplus for sale, directing proceeds to capital funds.
The Director of Accounts, Sandrine Batts, itemized amendments affecting the jail, building and codes, sheriff’s department, South Cheatham Library, county buildings, agricultural extension and county mayor. The board approved the listed amendments by roll call.
The minutes list surplus assets from EMS and the Sheriff’s Department — including multiple vehicles with VINs and odometer readings — and direct receipt proceeds to the Other Capital Projects – Vehicles Fund and Drug Control Fund as specified in the motion text.
Separately, County Attorney Michael Bligh presented a grant contract for the Sheriff’s Office in the amount of $12,925; the motion passed with 11 Yes, 0 No, 0 Absent, 1 Abstain (the roll-call listing shows Chris Gilmore as abstaining). The board also authorized a three-year School Buses and HVAC Replacement Capital Outlay Note not to exceed $1,531,485; the motion passed by recorded vote.
The minutes do not list detailed spending plans for all amended line items beyond the departmental headings; they record funding sources in general terms (e.g., state reimbursement, note proceeds) and include VINs for surplus vehicles in the record.
