2010 Election
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009Special Called Meeting of the Blount County Commission
Monday, September 1st, 2008Good Evening!
On September 9th, 2008 there will be a special called meeting of the Blount County Commission to conduct specific items of business. I will summarize the items with the information that I have so far below.
1. Election of County Commission Chairman
2. Election of County Commission Chairman Pro Tempore
3. Election of County Commission Parliamentarian
4. Election of General Sessions Judge, Division IV
5. Discussion and possible action regarding resolution establishing a water quality buffer and related regulation of streams, rivers, wetlands, ponds and lakes in Blount County; and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division Water Pollution Control Director's Order and Assessment.
Items 1-3 are yearly events which are normally handled at the September meeting.
Item 4, according to the opinions that I have read it will be the duty of the County Commission to fill the vacancy that will happen due to the results of the recent election. Historically nominations for such vacancies have been received by both the Commission and registered voters who are present during the meeting.
I have to-date received 2 resumes, they are from Laura Rule and Robert Headrick. Both have very impressive resumes and histories in their respective areas. I assume that the up coming week will possibly provide additional candidates for the soon to be open office.
Item 5, is related to a fine imposed by a Directors Order against Blount County related to the water quality buffer resolution which was passed in July, according to the minutes of the Blount County Commission, however the letter from the Director dated the 11th of August said it was not passed. I am not sure what will transpire during the course of this discussion.
The ad hoc subcommittee is still meeting related to this resolution trying to fine tune what was passed. The next scheduled meeting is the 8th of September the day before this commission meeting.
As always feel free to comment or contact me.
Mike
