The Knox County Board of Commissioners on July 9 approved two administrative items: an update to the Department of Transportation drug-and-alcohol policy for Knox County Transit and an annual contract to provide deputy enforcement for the local child-support program.
A commissioner introduced the transit policy update as an amendment to the county—s existing policy. After a motion and a second, commissioners signaled approval with the voice vote captured in the record. The chair said the approval "will require those signatures," indicating routine execution steps remain.
