The Claiborne County Commission defeated Resolution 2018-087A, a proposal related to an EESI loan for the Board of Education, on Dec. 17 by a roll-call vote of 13 against and 8 in favor. Commissioner Shawn Peters moved the measure; Commissioner Sherry McCreary seconded. After discussion the clerk recorded eight votes for and 13 votes against and the motion failed.
The record lists the commissioners who voted for and against the resolution; the minutes show no formal amendment that changed the measure before the vote. The commission had previously agreed to move the original Old Business item into New Business as Item 8A for consideration earlier in the agenda.
No specifics of loan terms, repayment schedule, or required local matching funds are recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The minutes show the defeat of the resolution as the final procedural outcome; the Board of Education will retain the option to bring financing proposals back in a later session but no further action on this item was recorded that evening.
The meeting adjourned after additional agenda items were completed.
