Cheatham County approves budget amendments, appointments and routine business
Summary
The legislative body approved budget amendments for county departments, confirmed mayoral appointments to boards, authorized a surplus vehicle sale, signed lease and administrative agreements, supported the school COVID-19 policy and approved several committee appointments and notaries.
At its Jan. 25 meeting the Cheatham County Legislative Body approved a package of budget amendments, appointments and routine administrative actions.
Budget committee recommendations presented by Director of Accounts Sandrine Batts were approved by the Legislative Body. The General Fund amendments included transfers and funding for jail supplies ($429.83), COVID-19 reimbursements for county purchases, insurance-recovery repairs to county buildings ($8,370 for E911 repairs), EMS vehicle maintenance ($1,114.02), library funding ($12,500 into operations), and funding for EMS supervisor training ($2,600). The recorded roll-call vote approving the budget amendments was 12–0–0 (Resolution 10). The minutes note committee-level votes for some items; the final legislative roll-call vote is recorded in the minutes.
The body confirmed mayoral appointee Dan Cook to the Water/Wastewater Board for a term beginning Jan. 1, 2021 and ending Dec. 31, 2025, and reappointed James (Jim) Dillingham to the same board for the same term span; both confirmations were approved 12–0–0 (Resolutions 9(B) and 9(C)). The legislative body also approved a clarification of the Cheatham County Solid Waste Regional Planning Board composition, filled vacancies and reappointed members, as recorded in Resolution 9(D).
Additional approved items included the mayor’s signature on an RJ Young copier lease for the sheriff’s department (Resolution 9(E)) — the minutes record approval but do not list lease financial terms in the public minutes; the body authorized surplus and sale/recycling of a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 (Solid Waste Department; VIN 1D7HA18PX4J207699) with proceeds to the Solid Waste Fund (Resolution 11); the body supported the school system COVID-19 policy (Resolution 12); reappointed members to the Ag Committee for two-year terms (Resolution 13); approved a slate of notary public applicants (Resolution 14); and referred memorial recognitions for Donnie Kemp and Johnny Jenkins to Calendar, Rules and Nominating Committee (Resolution 15). The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. (Resolution 16).
What happens next: Administrative and clerical follow-up is expected: purchasing and accounting will reflect budget amendments; county departments and boards will implement appointments and report as required.
