Summary

Cheatham County commissioners presented proclamations recognizing Sheriff John Henry Holder and county archivist Walter Pitt, honored emergency responders for storm response in January, and adopted a proclamation declaring May 2026 ALS Awareness Month.

At the start of the April 20 meeting commissioners presented three recognitions: a proclamation honoring former Sheriff John Henry Holder for decades of service and naming a bridge over Sycamore Creek as a tribute; a proclamation recognizing Walter Pitt for establishing the county archives and launching a searchable database; and a proclamation honoring all emergency responders for their response to a Jan. 24 ice storm that left thousands without power.

Later in the meeting the commission approved a proclamation declaring May 2026 as ALS Awareness Month after a local resident described living with the disease and asked the body to adopt the recognition.

Commissioners and honorees exchanged brief remarks; family members and representatives attended the recognitions.
