A commissioner told the county commission that school board member Tom Ballard is stepping down and thanked him for his service to Coffee County. The speaker asked the body to recognize Ballard's contribution and noted that the matter will be addressed at the next meeting.
The presiding official explained that Tennessee Code Annotated requires vacancies occurring more than 120 days before the next countywide election to be filled by the local legislative body; because this resignation falls within that window the commission will consider the appointment at its next meeting.
