Summary
Cumberland County commissioners approved a slate of appointments and reappointments to county boards, authorized placement of a Milo Lemert statue on county property, and updated the county road list; the meeting also recorded public comments on school curriculum and road safety.
At its Dec. 15 meeting in Crossville, the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved multiple appointments and administrative updates, including personnel appointments, road-list changes and approval for a Milo Lemert statue.
The commission adopted Resolution 12-2025-1 to appoint Tamara Eroh and Chance Bow to the Cumberland County Agricultural Extension Committee (terms expiring Dec. 31, 2027). Commissioners reappointed Patrick Garrison and Matthew Kirkland to the Wildlife and Fisheries Committee and reappointed Mark Norrod to the Building Codes Board of Appeals for four-year terms. Commissioner Colleen Mall’s motion to appoint Jeffrey Connors as the county’s Veterans Service Officer carried by voice vote.
The commission approved motions to add Laurelwood Drive, Laurelwood Circle and Perry Creek Drive to the county road list and to remove a 0.78-mile end section of Camp Nakanawa Road. The minutes record a clerical correction changing Calusa Circle to Warpath Circle; the minutes also contain inconsistent wording around the heading and motion for Resolution 12-2025-10 and 12-2025-11 but reflect that the correction was approved. Commissioner Joseph Sherrill noted a website work-order process citizens can use to report road issues.
Commissioners also approved a motion allowing the Milo Lemert Statue Committee to proceed with fundraising and placement of a statue on county property. During the public comment period, Howard Burnett spoke about seventh-grade curriculum and Billy Dodd thanked the commission for posting a speed limit on his road and asked about overweight-truck enforcement.
The commission elected six notaries public and adjourned at 6:37 p.m. The minutes were approved for entry Jan. 20, 2026.
