Summary
At the May 27 Bradley County work session commissioners reported that the commission had authorized the mayor to solicit quotes for clearing the Minnis Road fire facility; they also noted constituent complaints about cemetery upkeep and recent water-line work, announced an upcoming Tire Take Back day, and offered condolences for a deceased student.
Fire Committee Chair Mike Hughes reported that the commission had voted last week to authorize the county mayor to obtain quotes for clearing property at the Minnis Road fire facility; Mayor D. Gary Davis confirmed solicitations have been sent to the City of Cleveland and a private contractor.
Commissioner Mike Hughes relayed constituent concerns that Sunset and Hillcrest Cemeteries are in disrepair and that residents on Eads Bluff Road reported sloppy installation of Savannah Valley water lines. The minutes record these as constituent complaints; no remedies or timelines were adopted at the work session.
Vice Chairman Bill Winters expressed condolences to the family of Bradley Central High School student Brodie King, who died in a recent automobile accident. Commissioner Tommy Ledford praised the Bradley County Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center.
The commission announced a Tire Take Back event for May 31, 2025, 8:00 a.m. to noon at the Bradley County Sheriff's Office and noted upcoming Finance Committee meetings on May 30 and June 5. The work session adjourned at 7:47 p.m.
No formal votes or policy changes on the Minnis Road clearing, cemetery maintenance, or water-line complaints were recorded at the May 27 work session; the Minnis Road solicitation follows a prior authorization recorded as having been voted the previous week.
