The Dickson County Commission on April 20, 2026, completed routine business including approval of the March 16 minutes; multiple appointments to the Planning Commission, Audit Committee and Equalization Board; and the passage of a package of resolutions covering budget amendments, an interlocal broadband agreement, and a postage-meter lease.
A motion by Commissioner Mike Petty, seconded by Commissioner Carl Buckner, approved the March 16, 2026 minutes by unanimous aye voice vote. The commission then approved appointments: Amanda Berry, Tina Ferris and Todd Lindsey to the Planning Commission (motion by Commissioner Danny Williams, second by Commissioner Ray Ledger); Mike Walters and Anton Rees to the Audit Committee (motion by Commissioner Jody Britt, second by Commissioner Becky Spicer); and Anita Nicholson, Henry Frazier, Doris Grigsby, Rhonda Burgess and William Frazier to the Equalization Board (motion by Commissioner Stacey Batey, second by Commissioner Dwight McIllwain). All appointments passed by unanimous aye voice votes.
The commission approved Resolution 04-2026-01 authorizing amendments to the General Purpose School Fund (Fund 141), Federal Projects Fund (Fund 142), Central Cafeteria Fund (Fund 143) and/or Capital Project Fund (Fund 177) (motion by Commissioner Cindi Gray, second by Commissioner Ray Ledger). It also approved Resolution 04-2026-02 authorizing an interlocal agreement with Ignite Broadband, a division of Dickson Electric System, for internet and communications services (motion by Commissioner Becky Spicer, second by Commissioner Cindi Gray).
