Key procedural notes from Shelby County committee on District 93 appointment
Summary
County Attorney Megan Smith confirmed the timeline for filling the District 93 vacancy; the committee heard multiple applicants and moved the item to the full Commission without recommendation.
During the General Government Committee special call May 6, County Attorney Megan Smith advised that the vacancy in Tennessee House District 93 had been formally recognized and that action by the County Commission was appropriate because less than one year remained on the term. Smith stated the clerk’s notice qualified the commission to proceed.
Commissioners then heard statements from multiple applicants. After the presentations the committee restated the previously moved motion to send the appointment to the full Commission’s 1:00 p.m. meeting without a committee recommendation; the motion carried by voice without a recorded roll-call vote.
