Committee approves consent items and multiple highway and budget authorizations; treasurer reports sales-tax increase
Summary
The committee carried a slate of consent motions including appointments to the Greene County Economic Development Corporation, authorizations for CDBG public hearings, highway inspection and capital-project contracts, and several budget amendments; the treasurer reported sales-tax receipts up about 9.6% year‑to‑date.
The Greene County Economic Forum & Tourism Committee called and carried a series of consent items and operational resolutions during the meeting, including appointments, public‑hearing authorizations and highway capital-project approvals.
On procedural items chair called motions that were approved on voice vote: the committee approved appointing three members to the Greene County Economic Development Corporation board of directors, and authorized public hearings on a Community Development Block Grant request and on a CDBG amendment application. The chair read and the committee approved several highway and capital-project authorizations, such as agreements for construction inspection services (CDM Smith) and establishing capital project accounts for County Route 23B and bridge work on County Road 61, all carried as read on the agenda.
The committee also approved routine service agreements and an internship placement agreement between Greene County Park Field Service and Nashville Central School District; additional budget amendments and capital-project funding adjustments were carried under the agenda's consent sections. Individual vote tallies were not recorded verbatim in the public transcript; motions were carried by voice vote.
Treasurer's report: the treasurer summarized February 2026 tax collections and sales tax receipts. February delinquent‑tax collections were $268,255.53 (up $96,576.50 from Feb. 2025). Year‑to‑date delinquent‑tax collections were $649,153.08 (down versus 2025). Greene County delinquent taxes due in February were $6,854,623.57 (down from $7,604,970.27 a year earlier). Sales tax receipts to date were $7,983,526.54, a 9.57% increase versus 2025; the treasurer said staff are still working to break out short‑term rental and cannabis tax detail for future reports.
Next steps: routine contract and budget files will be processed per standard procurement and finance procedures; the treasurer will follow up with more granular tax-source breakdowns in a future report.
