Franklin County Legislative Committee posts Nov. 15 agenda with voting-security, building-code and street-name items
Summary
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners Legislative Committee scheduled a Nov. 15, 2018 meeting at 6:00 p.m. with multiple resolutions on the agenda including a voting-security request to state lawmakers, an opt-out of the statewide building code for one- and two-family dwellings, a proposed street-name change, and a public request to name a bridge.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners Legislative Committee posted an agenda for its Nov. 15, 2018, 6:00 p.m. meeting listing multiple resolutions and routine business. Chairman Johnny Hughes is named as the presiding officer on the agenda; the document lists the items to be considered but does not record debate, motions, or votes.
The agenda includes a "Resolution Requesting Legislation to Ensure The Security of Voting in the State of Tennessee," described only by title. The item does not include draft language, a sponsoring commissioner, or an explanation of the specific voting-security measures being sought.
Also on the agenda is a "Resolution to Opt out of Statewide Building Code Standard for One and Two family dwellings in Franklin County." The agenda provides the title only; the legal basis for an opt-out, any proposed ordinance text, and the anticipated effective date are not specified in the posted item.
A resolution is listed to change the street name "Scotts Knob" to "Brandywine Lane." The agenda records the proposed name change but does not attach a staff report, parcel identifiers, or justification for the renaming.
The committee also lists a resolution to amend Rule XIII of the Rules for the Government of the Franklin County Board of Commissioners and a resolution "to support restoration of Registers Commission." Neither item includes explanatory materials in the agenda text.
Under new business the agenda notes a public request by Al Shasteen "to have a bridge named after his brother," and it lists approval of two notary applications and the election of a new Legislative Committee chairman for 2019. The 2019 Legislative Committee meeting schedule is also on the agenda; the posted text contains no dates or schedule details.
Because the document provided is an agenda only, it does not record motions, seconds, votes, or staff presentations. Where the agenda lists an action (for example, approval of minutes or election of a chairman), the agenda text does not identify proposers, outcomes, or supporting documents. Additional materials, staff reports, or the meeting minutes would be needed to report results or substantive deliberations.
The meeting is scheduled to proceed at 6:00 p.m. on Nov. 15, 2018; the agenda lists routine "OTHER" business and adjournment as closing items. Members of the public or reporters seeking details on any item should request the staff packet or the formal minutes to obtain sponsor names, ordinance text, and vote tallies.
