Summary

Cumberland County commissioners adopted a purchasing policy clarification on subscriptions and maintenance agreements and adopted the County Powers Act (TCA 5-1-118) by resolution on June 15.

The Cumberland County Commission adopted RES 06-2026-29 to clarify the county's purchasing policy with respect to subscriptions and maintenance agreements, then adopted RES 06-2026-30, invoking authorities under Tennessee Code Annotated 5-1-118 to adopt powers by county resolution.

RES 06-2026-29 was moved by Commissioner Colleen Mall and seconded by Commissioner Mark Baldwin; RES 06-2026-30 was moved by Commissioner Wendell Wilson and seconded by Commissioner Jerry Cooper. Both measures carried on unanimous roll call votes as recorded in the minutes.

The County Powers Act adoption (TCA 5-1-118) provides a local mechanism for counties to exercise certain powers by resolution; the commission's action records the county's exercise of that statutory option but the minutes do not list which specific new powers, if any, the county intends to exercise under the authority.
