The Hartsville/Trousdale County Commission on July 26 adopted four ordinances finalizing the county’s 2016–17 budget, approving appropriations for the General Services and Urban Services departments and setting tax levies.
The commission closed the public hearing on the budget ordinances after no citizens presented comments. Commissioners then proceeded through second- and third-reading votes on Ordinances #125-2016-05 (General Services appropriations), #126-2016-06 (General Services tax levy), #127-2016-07 (Urban Services appropriations) and #128-2016-08 (Urban Services tax levy).
On second reading: the body approved Ordinance #125-2016-05 (motion by Bubba Gregory, second James Falco; roll call recorded 16 yes, 2 no, 2 absent); Ordinance #126-2016-06 setting the General Services levy at $2.93 (motion by John Oliver, second Richard Johnson; 16 yes, 2 no, 2 absent); Ordinance #127-2016-07 for Urban Services appropriations (motion by Richard Johnson, second Gary Claridy; 17 yes, 1 no, 2 absent); and Ordinance #128-2016-08 setting the Urban Services levy at $1.11 (Urban Services Council members listed as Bubba Gregory, Richard Johnson and Johnny Kerr; motion by Johnny Kerr, second Bubba Gregory; roll call recorded 3 yes, 0 no, 0 absent).
The commission then considered and approved third readings of the same ordinances, producing final adoption votes. On third reading: Ordinance #125-2016-05 passed (motion by James Falco, second Michael Satterfield; 16 yes, 2 no, 2 absent); Ordinance #126-2016-06 passed (motion by Richard Johnson, second Shane Burton; 16 yes, 2 no, 2 absent); Ordinance #127-2016-07 passed (motion by Bubba Gregory, second Richard Johnson; 17 yes, 1 no, 2 absent); and Ordinance #128-2016-08 passed (motion by Bubba Gregory, second Richard Johnson; 3 yes, 0 no, 0 absent).
The meeting record cites roll-call tallies as appearing on book page 131. The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes by commissioner name for the countywide tallies; where individual vote names were not specified in the record, the article notes that omission rather than assigning votes.
The special called meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn by Wayne Brown, seconded by Bill Fergusson. Motion carried.
