On Jan. 5, 2017, the Franklin County Legislative Committee voted unanimously to forward a resolution affirming compliance with federal Title VI nondiscrimination rules to the full county commission; the resolution text notes it takes effect upon adoption and cites federal and state authorities.
The Franklin County Legislative Committee unanimously voted Jan. 5, 2017 to forward a resolution affirming the county's compliance with federal Title VI nondiscrimination regulations to the full county commission.
The committee's action occurred after Commissioner Eddie Clark moved to approve the resolution and send it to the full commission; Committee member Dave Van Buskirk seconded and the motion carried by voice vote with all members present voting aye. Chairman Johnny Hughes presided over the meeting.
The resolution text included in the administrative record cites Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, references Tennessee Attorney General Opinion No. 92.47, and notes the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development's Three-Star Program as requiring communities receiving federal financial assistance to confirm Title VI compliance. The resolution states it "shall take effect upon adoption." According to the record, the resolution was adopted by the county commission on Jan. 17, 2017, per the signed certificate in the file.
The committee's vote forwarded the measure to the full commission for formal action; the committee did not itself adopt the resolution in final form. The next procedural step was consideration by the full Franklin County Commission.
