On Nov. 9, 2023, the Sevier County Budget Committee voted unanimously to approve and forward Resolution 2023-XX-XX, a measure that would authorize the County Mayor to execute necessary contracts to hire a lobbyist firm and to appropriate funding for that purpose. Commissioner Bryan Delius presented the resolution and moved that the committee approve it and send it to the full Board of Commissioners for consideration.
Commissioner Mike Chambers seconded the motion; the committee approved it unanimously, and no roll-call vote or tally by name is recorded in the transcript. The resolution as introduced instructs the County Mayor to execute contracts and appropriate funding for hiring a lobbyist firm; the transcript records the resolution only by its placeholder number, "Resolution 2023-XX-XX."
The committee did not debate details of which firm would be hired or the specific funding amount during the meeting. The action at this meeting is procedural: it authorizes the executive branch (the County Mayor) to enter contracts and directs the Board of Commissioners to consider the proposed authorization at a future meeting.
The Budget Committee's vote sends the resolution to the full Board; any contractual commitments, firm selection, or appropriation amounts would be determined later if and when the Board approves implementing steps. The committee took no further related actions during the session.
