Commission reviews routine public‑safety, public‑works and zoning items including roof, HVAC, grants and two rezoning requests
Summary
Commissioners heard and read multiple routine resolutions: a $619,785 roof replacement for the jail Delta building; grant and HVAC requests for the Sheriff's Office; highway safety and juvenile court contracts; pest control and tire‑recycling contract awards; and two rezoning cases (Crabtree Road and Hixon Pike) recommended by staff.
The commission considered a set of consent and regular business items, which were read aloud by the clerk and described briefly by staff.
Public safety items included Resolution 326‑20, a proposed $619,785 roof replacement for the Hamilton County Jail Delta Building through Garland DBS, Inc. (Omnia Partners), and Resolution 326‑22, an HVAC installation at the Hamilton County LEOC for $282,675 via Omnia/Dyken to move property and evidence into that building. Resolution 326‑21 would allow the Sheriff's Office to apply for a Project Safe Neighborhood grant (no local match required). Staff said the items will be considered at the commission's next business meeting.
Other routine items included Resolution 326‑23 to apply for federal fiscal year 2027 highway safety funding (no local match) and Resolution 326‑24 renewing a contract with the Tennessee Department of Human Services for juvenile court child support administration (the state funds roughly 66% of that function). Public works items accepted low bids for pest and rodent control (Lookout Pest Control LLC) and tire recycling (Liberty Tire Recycling LLC) as multi‑year unit‑price contracts.
Planning staff presented two rezoning proposals recommended by Plan Commission and staff. Resolution 326‑27 would rezone property at 1835 Crabtree Road from A1 (agricultural) to R1 (single‑family residential) with conditions limiting the development to 50 units and requiring sidewalks. Resolution 326‑28 would rezone part of 7710 Hixon Pike from R2 to C2 (local business) with conditions prohibiting certain noxious uses (automobile service stations, used car lots, car washes, adult‑oriented establishments and others).
Staff and applicants were available for questions; no significant opposition was recorded at the planning commission level for the two rezoning requests. Several items will return for formal action at a future meeting.
