Resident asks Monroe County to add TVA project 7106 to county road system
Summary
Public commenter Dylan Brinkley asked the Monroe County commissioners to add 0.265 miles (TVA project 7106) to the county road list, saying he supplied drawings, a TVA project plan and contract 32225A showing a 0.26-mile project length; commissioners did not record a decision during the meeting.
Dylan Brinkley addressed the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners during public discussion and asked the commission to add a 0.265-mile segment associated with TVA project 7106 to the county road system. Brinkley said he submitted documentation—including a drawing recorded in county files, an additional drawing obtained from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) showing materials and a stated project length of 0.26 miles, TVA contract 32225A, and tract information (Teller 4011 D)—to support the request.
Brinkley told the commission that Monroe County currently maintains approximately half of TVA project 7106 but that the project segment is not listed on the county road inventory. He said the county legislative body (the Board of County Commissioners) is responsible for designating county roads and filing the list in the county clerk’s office and asked the board to correct or complete the county record so the full TVA project segment is included and maintained as county road.
The chair interrupted at the end of Brinkley’s five-minute allotment to note the time had expired. Brinkley said he had provided two drawings, referenced the TVA project length and the county-level documents, and asked if commissioners had questions; no questions or a formal response appear in the transcript.
Why it matters: Adding the TVA project segment to the county road list affects which entity is officially responsible for maintenance and could change budget and maintenance obligations. Brinkley said he has survey and project documentation that, in his view, confirm the county’s prior acceptance and ongoing maintenance obligations for the segment.
The commission did not record any action, vote, or direction in the provided transcript in response to Brinkley’s request; follow-up with county staff or commissioners is needed to determine next steps.
