Van Buren County authorizes state grant and signs to begin building new ambulance
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to accept a state grant and authorize staff to sign an agreement to begin building a new ambulance; the full motion granted 'Tiwanna' authority to sign a letter of agreement to start construction.
Commissioner Tabitha Denney moved and Commissioner Kenny Smith seconded that the commission "approve the Grant for the new ambulance from the State of Tennessee and Give Tiwanna the ability to sign a letter of agreement to begin building the ambulance." The motion carried on a unanimous roll call vote by the full commission.
The item originated in Committee A (July 6, 2026) and was presented to the full commission for final approval. The minutes do not specify the grant amount or the contractor; the record states only that the county accepted the state grant and authorized the letter of agreement. Next steps in the minutes are limited to the authorization itself; procurement, contract details, and any timeline for delivery or service start were "not specified" in the meeting record.
