Cheatham County authorizes contracts for cameras and software, adopts road-acceptance policy and waives wheel tax for volunteer firefighters
Summary
Commissioners authorized the county mayor to sign multiple contracts (including an Insight contract for five Flock cameras in Pegram) and approved resolutions establishing county road acceptance specifications and waiving the wheel tax for volunteer firefighters. Capital improvements approved metal detectors for the courthouse and a new VSO office door.
County Mayor Kerry McCarver presented several agreements for the county’s signature at the Sept. 16 meeting. Commissioners authorized the mayor to sign contracts for Integrity Design and Coding software for Probation, planning services with the Greater Nashville Regional Council, an Insight contract for five Flock cameras in Pegram and a memorandum of understanding between Cheatham County and Pegram regarding those cameras, and a contract with Tennessee Alcohol Monitoring Systems. The approvals are recorded as Resolution 14; the minutes do not list contract dollar amounts.
County Attorney Michael Bligh introduced and the commission approved a resolution establishing specifications and policy for acceptance of county roads (Resolution 15). Commissioners also approved a resolution waiving the county wheel tax for volunteer firefighters (Resolution 16).
Capital Improvement committee motions approved the purchase and installation of courthouse metal detectors ($4,789.99) and a new door at the Veterans Service Officer (VSO) office ($2,133.65); both items were funded from Capital Improvements and passed by roll‑call vote (Resolutions 17 and 18).
Next steps: contracts signed by the mayor will move to procurement and implementation; the MOU with Pegram governs placement and operation of the five Flock cameras in Pegram as recorded in the meeting minutes. The minutes do not specify contract values for most agreements or implementation timelines for the cameras or software.
