Sevier County committees set five-bag limit, direct engineering work for convenience-center remodels
Summary
County officials reviewed lease arrangements and proposed remodel renderings for multiple convenience-center sites, agreed on a five-bag daily residential limit, and directed staff to begin engineering work on county-owned sites with a full proposal due at the October meeting.
Sevier County officials reviewed lease arrangements and proposed remodels for multiple convenience-center waste sites and set a daily residential bag limit of five.
At the Sept. 7 meeting of the Sevier County Board of Commissioners’ Intergovernmental Committee and Solid Waste Special Committee, Assistant County Mayor and Senior Director of Community Planning and Development Matt Rudder and Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter presented updates on current lease agreements for convenience-center sites on Highway 321, Allensville Road and Birds Creek Road and showed proposed renderings for Centerview Road and White School sites. Rudder said the county will begin engineering work on convenience-center locations it owns first and will proceed to leased sites after lease renewals are completed. Staff will return a final proposal at the October Intergovernmental Committee meeting, Rudder said.
Mayor Larry Waters told the committees the Mayor’s Office is developing payment-collection policy and procedures for the convenience centers. Commissioners also directed staff to contact property owners: Commissioner Jack Parton asked the Mayor’s Office and Commissioner Kent Woods to contact the owner of the Highway 321 site, and Commissioner Woods asked the Mayor’s Office to contact the owner of the Allensville site and report back to the Committee.
When Vice Mayor McCarter asked whether the Committee wanted a daily bag limit for residential users, committee members agreed on five (5) bags per day for residential use. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote on that limit; it is recorded as the committee’s decision.
The meeting also included a Fleet Services report presented by Director Jimmy Bohanan; no action items or specific recommendations from that report were recorded in the transcript.
Commissioner Warren Hurst moved to adjourn; Commissioner Jack Parton seconded the motion and the meeting adjourned at 6:15 PM. The committees will consider the finalized convenience-center engineering proposal at their October meeting.
