Residents tell Sumner County committee they want '287(9)' agreement dissolved
Summary
Four residents told the Health & Emergency Services Committee on April 6 that they oppose a referenced '287(9)' agreement; one speaker presented a petition said to contain 553 signatures urging its dissolution and several speakers asked for more transparency from the sheriff's office.
Trae Primrose, a Gallatin resident, told the Sumner County Health & Emergency Services Committee on April 6, 2026, that he had a petition signed by 553 Sumner County residents urging "the dissolution of the 287(9) contract." The comments were part of the meeting's public-comment period and the sheriff's office was not present to respond.
Two other residents, Jessica Newport of Goodlettsville and Keith Haas of Hendersonville, also spoke against the 287(9) agreement, and Brooklynn White asked the committee for greater transparency from the sheriff's office around the contract. The comments were recorded in the minutes; no formal response or action on the agreement was taken at the meeting.
The committee did not vote on the 287(9) agreement during the session, and the minutes note only the public comments. The sheriff or a representative was not present to answer questions or provide clarification about the contract at the meeting.
