Cherokee County commissioners allow ambulance department to prepare building pad after 2-1 vote
Summary
The Board voted 2-1 to let the county ambulance department perform dirt work for its building pad; Commissioner Frazier opposed the motion. The vote followed no recorded amendment and the Board returned from an earlier executive session with no action.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted 2-1 on July 28 to permit the ambulance department to perform dirt work as needed to prepare a building pad for a new ambulance facility.
"Commissioner Moates moved to allow the ambulance department to do perform dirt work as necessary for their building pad," recorded the meeting minutes; Commissioner Jack Garner seconded, and the motion passed 2-1 with Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier opposing. The minutes record no amendment to the motion.
Board discussion prior to the vote focused on site preparation needs for the department; Road and Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook had provided a departmental update earlier in the meeting. The minutes do not record detailed cost estimates, a contractor selection, or a timeline for the dirt work, and they do not show any formal conditions attached to the approval.
Because the motion passed with a dissenting commissioner, the county will proceed with departmental site-preparation work but with at least one commissioner objecting on the record. The minutes note that two brief attorney-client executive sessions were held during the meeting but state that no action resulted from those sessions. The Board adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
