Signal Mountain Town Council advances ordinance on Mountain Arts Community Center fees
Summary
The Signal Mountain Town Council gave first reading to Ordinance 2026-2, a proposal to amend Title 5, Section 505 and establish fees for use of the Mountain Arts Community Center (MAC). The motion passed by voice vote with no opposition; council then suspended the remainder of the agenda and adjourned.
Mayor Elizabeth Baker said the Signal Mountain Town Council held a first reading of Ordinance 2026-2, an ordinance “to amend Title 5, Chapter 5, Section 5-505 … and enacting a new section 5-505 regarding fees for the use of the Mountain Arts Community Center, MAC.” Baker noted the council "talked about this at our regular meeting."
The item advanced on a motion and second. The council moved by voice vote with no opposition recorded and the first reading was approved. The transcript records the council members Charles Foss, Myles Jorgensen, Andrew Garner, Vice Mayor Clay Crumbless and Mayor Elizabeth Baker as present during roll call; the vote was taken by voice and no members voiced opposition.
The ordinance as discussed would amend the town code’s Title 5, Chapter 5, Section 505 to establish fees for MAC use; specific fee amounts and implementation details were not stated during the meeting. The mayor characterized the meeting action as a first reading, which typically means the measure will return for additional consideration at a future meeting before any final adoption.
After advancing the ordinance on first reading, Mayor Baker moved to suspend the remainder of the agenda and adjourn; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. A brief, informal exchange followed in which a council member offered to read a passage from Ernest Hemingway and the mayor replied that could be done on one’s own time. The meeting then adjourned.
