Commission approves ambulance building site dirt work in 2–1 vote
Summary
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted 2–1 to allow the ambulance department to perform dirt work to prepare a building pad, with Chair Myra Carlisle Frazier recorded as opposing the motion.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted to allow the county ambulance department to perform dirt work to prepare a building pad for a new ambulance station.
Commissioner Cory Moates moved “to allow the ambulance department to do perform dirt work as necessary for their building pad,” and Commissioner Jack Garner seconded. The motion passed 2–1, with Chair Myra Carlisle Frazier recorded as opposing. The minutes show no further conditions attached to the approval.
The vote authorizes physical site-preparation work but does not, in the minutes, allocate construction funding or approve a full building contract. Road and Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook was present earlier in the meeting to provide updates on ongoing projects; the minutes do not record additional details about the ambulance project's timeline, budget, or contractor selection. The board did not record any subsequent motion to fund or bid the building during this session.
The decision came during routine business recorded at the July 28, 2025 meeting in Columbus. The board scheduled two short attorney-client executive sessions during the meeting; the minutes state that no action followed those sessions.
