The committee spent most of its time on two consequential property issues: whether to pursue the former armory for a larger county emergency operations center, and how to dispose of already-declared surplus county land on North Hill Road. On the armory, veterans and fire/EMA supporters both argued the building fills real county needs, but commissioners pressed for harder numbers on utility costs, future maintenance, and ADA compliance before any commitment. The committee ultimately did not approve an acquisition; instead, it directed EMA to return next month with more detailed cost and compliance information, while acknowledging EMA can move forward with grant paperwork separately.

Other notable actions included EMS approval of monthly runs, charges, and collections; approval to proceed with a new EMS billing company and collections-agency negotiations; a warning that inmate food and medical costs may need about $286,000 more this fiscal year; an update that Pinewood EMS station interior reconstruction is waiting on the fire marshal stamp; approval of a $9,000 settlement tied to a codes-office error on a house foundation; reappointment of two magistrates for recommendation to the full commission; and discussion of FEMA/TEMA storm damage, flooded roads, and tower-site property transfers to the 911 board.

Public Comments 0:01:30

Fire training / EOC space needs 0:01:48

  • 0:01:58 A fire-association representative urged the committee to consider the armory partly as a county fire training hub, saying the current EOC is used regularly for EMR classes, firefighter training, rope rescue, and hazmat instruction but is too cramped.
  • 0:02:26 Recent EMR class had 24 sign-ups and had to be capped, with space cited as one limiting factor.
  • 0:03:13 County fire service includes about 130 volunteers across five departments and has no central training center other than the EOC.
  • 0:03:50 He tied the request to ISO fire-insurance ratings, arguing a local training ground with classrooms, props, and storage could lower insurance costs countywide, including for commercial property.
  • 0:04:17 He said roughly two acres of training ground with certain amenities would satisfy that training-access need and benefit all five departments.

Veterans / disaster resiliency support for armory use 0:05:20

  • 0:05:27 An American Legion Post 36 representative, also trained through the county EMR class, said seating shortages at current training reinforced the need for larger space.
  • 0:05:59 He framed the armory as part of broader community disaster resiliency, citing response experience in Katrina, Sandy, and 9/11 and arguing communities benefit when they plan facilities before disaster strikes.
  • 0:06:19 He referenced the county’s 2010 flooding and said a few more days of rain could have cut off parts of the community.
  • 0:07:07 He said Post 36 recently helped ensure the county’s high-water vehicle was ready during the prior week’s storm response.
  • 0:08:23 He urged support for veterans and EMA together, saying veterans had been told they would have a place in the EMA facility concept.

Approval of Minutes 0:08:43

  • 0:08:52 Minutes from the March 3 meeting approved on motion and second by voice vote.

Department / Official Reports 0:09:09

EMS report 0:09:09

  • 0:09:17 EMS reported 269 calls in February, with 157 billable.
  • 0:09:22 Collections were $87,576.70 against charges of $157,835.
  • 0:09:49 Motion to approve the EMS report passed by roll call, 13–0, with 1 absent.
  • 0:10:22 EMS said the mayor had notified the current billing company that its contract would not be renewed; the replacement needs to be in place by 7/1.
  • 0:10:31 A proposed contract with a new billing vendor, described as being used by nearby counties and associated with better collections, had been included in the packet.
  • 0:10:48 EMS is also negotiating with AWA in Dickson as a collections agency; the mayor must participate because EMS cannot sign the contract directly.
  • 0:11:22 The committee approved proceeding with the billing-company change and collections-agency negotiations.
  • 0:11:56 EMS warned that cardiac monitors and CPR devices are reaching end of service life.
  • 0:12:05 In the prior 30 days, three CPR devices failed while being used on patients.
  • 0:12:14 EMS said those CPR devices are normally deployed about five times per month, and the recent failures show replacement planning is becoming urgent.

EMA report 0:12:50

  • 0:12:59 EMA reported five EOC activations in the prior month and said the pace did not appear to be slowing.
  • 0:13:06 EMA had met with TEMA that day, with additional state personnel expected the next day.
  • 0:13:15 Recent storms damaged six homes and one church in the county.
  • 0:13:24 Of those, four properties had already met the threshold for FEMA follow-up.
  • 0:13:32 EMA knew of 13 roads affected in the county from the latest storm, pending confirmation with highway officials.
  • 0:13:57 EMA previewed a later agenda item seeking transfer of title on the Nine Mile Ridge tower site from the county to the 911 board, similar to a prior Highway 7 tower-site action.

Maintenance report 0:15:00

  • 0:15:11 Maintenance said the jail lift station had acted up again after earlier hopes it was stable, blaming towels and other items flushed into the system that keep blowing lines apart.
  • 0:15:26 The finance director wanted maintenance to alert the committee that a budget amendment would be sought at the next budget meeting to purchase a tractor.
  • 0:15:33 The request was to move money and proceed toward a budget amendment for a tractor with a front-end loader, justified for bush-hogging, material handling, moving items currently handled with borrowed equipment, and dragging gravel drives with a box blade.
  • 0:16:19 The tractor under consideration was priced at $21,500, a 2024 model with 78.6 hours and 4x4.

Sheriff’s report 0:17:08

  • 0:17:16 The jail consultant’s study was still underway, with the sheriff expecting it to finish in the next couple of weeks, followed by another study specific to the jail situation.
  • 0:17:32 The sheriff said the jail population had increased and reported more than 1,450 “cat cards”/intake-related count for the month as described in the transcript.
  • 0:18:02 Over the last three months—January through March—the sheriff said the office had brought $73,484 into the general fund.
  • 0:18:24 The sheriff warned the county would likely need about $286,000 more to finish the fiscal year for inmate food and medical costs.
  • 0:18:40 Some money may come back later through insurance, but likely not until July.
  • 0:18:48 The county attorney has been asked to pursue legal action on one inmate bill, with the sheriff saying the responsible person appears able to pay.
  • 0:19:03 That single bill was described as at or over $50,000 and part of the larger $286,000 need.
  • 0:19:40 In response to questions, the sheriff said the $286,000 estimate should finish food and medical costs through the end of the fiscal year and would likely be before budget committee the following Monday.
  • 0:22:35 He attributed the overrun to both higher jail population and higher costs, noting long-term medical cases can quickly exhaust funds.
  • 0:23:22 He gave one example of a murder-charge inmate with a heart follow-up, illustrating costs that cannot simply be avoided.
  • 0:23:38 The jail is built for about 114 inmates but is now averaging around 160.
  • 0:23:56 Recent counts have ranged from the 140s to as high as 178.
  • 0:24:37 The county’s inmate medical insurance has a $20,000 deductible per person before coverage kicks in, which the sheriff said allows costs to mount quickly.
  • 0:26:58 A commissioner asked for several years of quarterly inmate-population comparisons to better show the link between headcount and cost before the upcoming budget discussion.
  • 0:20:19 On jail plumbing problems, the sheriff said the jail changed policy so inmates must turn in a towel to receive another one, trying to reduce items being flushed.
  • 0:21:00 Staff recently removed about three 55-gallon trash bags of commissary trash, and commissary was cut off for one month as a discipline/control measure.
  • 0:21:14 He noted grinders exist that could shred towels before clogging systems, but called them expensive.

Unfinished Business 0:28:02

  • 0:28:11 No old business was identified.

New Business / Agenda Items 0:28:18

Pinewood EMS station reconstruction update 0:28:18

  • 0:28:32 The mayor reported he had made follow-up calls after the last discussion and now had drawings for the new Pinewood EMS station interior work.
  • 0:28:49 Commissioners had not received copies because the plans still lacked the state fire marshal stamp.
  • 0:28:58 Once the stamped plans arrive, interior demolition can begin for reconstruction.
  • 0:29:18 The mayor expected the fire marshal number/stamp within about 2–3 days.
  • 0:29:32 He clarified “demolish” meant removing interior elements, not tearing the building down.
  • 0:30:06 He said he and project manager Eric Hassell would sit down with contractors as soon as stamped plans are in hand to get cost figures.
  • 0:31:16 The mayor said about $146,000–$150,000 remained from previously authorized funds after purchase of the building and expected the project to come in near budget, perhaps only slightly over.
  • 0:31:39 He added that doors had already been ordered about 2–3 weeks earlier.
  • 0:37:53 In later questioning, the mayor said he would still provide a project timeline for the Pinewood EMS station at the fourth-Monday meeting.

Nine Mile Ridge / Highway 7 tower-site title transfers 0:32:10

  • 0:32:28 EMA asked the committee to start the process of transferring the Nine Mile Ridge tower-site property from county ownership to the 911 board so state tower-project agreements can proceed.
  • 0:32:34 He tied it to the earlier Highway 7 discussion, where the county had already discussed conveying about one-half acre for tower purposes.
  • 0:33:44 Commissioners said the committee could likely only recommend action to the full legislative body, not complete the transfer itself.
  • 0:34:10 The mayor clarified Highway 7 had been voted as an intent to convey but had not yet been legally signed over.
  • 0:35:08 The mayor said the county was ready to proceed with conveyance paperwork for Highway 7.
  • 0:36:11 Members stressed that final conveyance requires surveys so the county knows exactly what property is being transferred.
  • 0:36:24 EMA said the 911 board had already voted to hire a surveyor for Nine Mile Ridge.
  • 0:36:46 The 911 director’s board had also agreed to survey the Highway 7 half-acre site needed by the state.
  • 0:37:01 The committee took no final vote here, treating this as process-starting discussion for later full-body action.

Animal shelter item deferred 0:37:14

  • 0:37:27 An agenda reference to the animal shelter appeared to have been included by mistake or prematurely; the mayor said it should wait until the next meeting.

Armory / future EOC / veterans’ building needs 0:38:11

Veterans proposal for the armory 0:38:21

  • 0:38:52 A veterans representative said he had brought copies of the proposal and reminded the committee that veterans first raised the armory possibility about one year earlier.
  • 0:39:44 Veterans said they have about $2 million in memorabilia and armaments tied to county veterans that they would like to place in a museum, but need a building.
  • 0:40:41 He said veterans’ benefits and compensation bring about $11 million in cash into the local community each year.
  • 0:41:20 Veterans work with inmates at Turney Center and said there are about 65 veterans housed there in their own building through a program they helped organize.
  • 0:41:51 Last year’s Field of Flags display included 426 flags; this year’s event was expected to have about 440.
  • 0:42:31 He said the current VSO office on the square is too small and lacks the privacy needed for veterans and spouses discussing benefit paperwork.
  • 0:43:05 The armory’s upstairs offices were described as suitable for a private VSO office, command offices for the American Legion and VFW, and a museum area.
  • 0:43:26 The basement was described as large enough for community uses and potentially emergency-family sheltering; the outbuilding could hold equipment.
  • 0:44:37 He said the veterans organization is a 501(c)(19) and believed there may be a route for the building to be donated to veterans with county backing, with outreach underway to Congressman Mark Green’s office, Jody Barrett, and others.
  • 0:45:27 He said surrounding counties all have dedicated veterans buildings, while local groups currently meet at the Homestead Restaurant, which may soon no longer be available.
  • 0:49:13 Asked about maintenance, he said veterans could not realistically maintain a building that large alone and would likely need county help at least with utilities.
  • 0:50:14 He suggested relocating the VSO office there could offset some utility cost by eliminating current square-office rent and utilities, though he could not say the savings would fully cover armory costs.
  • 0:52:34 He directly addressed concern about a bar/canteen, saying newer veterans facilities are moving away from that model and toward family-oriented, support-focused spaces.

EMA proposal for the armory as county EOC 0:53:25

  • 0:53:47 EMA presented the armory as a county emergency operations center, training site for responders, and disaster sheltering/distribution facility.
  • 0:54:48 He said the current EOC was activated five times last month and already three straight days this month.
  • 0:55:11 During recent tornado threat conditions, about 30 people were sheltering in the current EOC, leaving little room for a multi-agency coordination group or joint information center.
  • 0:55:34 EMA argued the county has simply outgrown the current EOC and that the armory could improve operations while also supporting fire-training needs that could lower countywide ISO ratings.
  • 0:56:28 EMA confirmed ISO is on a 1 to 10 scale and said even a one-point improvement can materially lower residential premiums and save businesses thousands.
  • 0:58:26 A commissioner raised possible disaster-relief funding, and EMA explained a $1.9 million county allocation through a CDBG-DR-style disaster-recovery source could potentially be used toward armory purchase because the building could serve as emergency sheltering space.
  • 0:59:42 EMA said the amount was $1.9 million and was not competitive; the money is effectively allocated for Hickman County.
  • 1:00:07 To preserve that option, a proposal naming the armory use would need to be submitted by the end of the week / by April 12.
  • 1:01:19 Asked whether veterans and EMA could coexist there, EMA said meeting use was fine but a permanent museum likely would not fit the grant purpose if the county needed to convert the building during an emergency.
  • 1:02:32 He added the disaster funds could cover purchase, but not necessarily renovations or “shoring up” costs beyond that.
  • 1:04:19 EMA estimated the armory would cost about $1,800 more per month in electricity than the current EOC, based on a one-year review.
  • 1:05:02 He explained the current EOC’s electric bill is unusually low because of a TVA-supported solar setup and buyback arrangement, effectively making current power costs minimal.
  • 1:05:20 He proposed trying to add a similar solar system at the armory to offset utility costs there.
  • 1:05:42 He also said the building has separate HVAC controls by room, which could allow selective heating/cooling for savings.
  • 1:06:09 Gas-use numbers were still pending.
  • 1:10:32 EMA said county maintenance would also move there and use the shop/outbuilding if the project happened; he and maintenance saw little immediate building-maintenance need from their walk-through.
  • 1:11:25 The mayor explained this was not a normal competitive grant but Hickman County disaster-recovery money set aside because of prior flooding, including Waverly-era and possibly 2010 flood contexts.
  • 1:14:01 EMA said other possible uses for the disaster-recovery money included clearing waterways, cleaning under bridges, and building a county flood-management plan.
  • 1:15:19 The chair pressed EMA for clearer alternatives before endorsing spending roughly $1.4 million of the $1.9 million on the armory, saying commissioners need better data to choose between needs.
  • 1:16:16 EMA confirmed the armory site remained accessible during the 2010 flood and had been used then as a distribution point.
  • 1:17:17 EMA said he was still checking whether the current EOC building has any grant-related restrictions on later reuse or transfer.
  • 1:17:53 A commissioner asked whether the $1.9 million could instead expand the current EOC; EMA said no, because building out there would cost too much relative to buying the armory.
  • 1:21:28 Some commissioners stressed urgency because the armory could otherwise be sold into the private sector if the county did not show interest.
  • 1:23:53 EMA said state contacts had indicated the building would likely be sold, not donated, if the county was not interested.

Concerns raised: procedure, utilities, maintenance, ADA 1:24:37

  • 1:24:37 Members emphasized any final action would still have to go before the full county commission.
  • 1:25:06 Questions centered on whether the county had a fallback plan for the $1.9 million if the armory idea does not proceed; EMA said yes, including bridge, stream, floodplain, debris-management, and storm-shelter work.
  • 1:26:28 One commissioner noted EMA’s proposal significantly expands capability—from 4 to 6 offices now to more than 20 offices, and from no long-term sheltering to capacity for 198 people—and questioned whether that scale is necessary versus using schools and other available emergency resources.
  • 1:27:51 Another commissioner characterized the money less as a “grant” than a county-specific requisitioned pot of funds, with a spending deadline of 2026.
  • 1:29:38 The chair raised major ADA questions, noting the armory was built around 1970 and asking whether either the veterans or EMA had actually studied what it would cost to make the building ADA compliant for intended public uses.
  • 1:31:16 EMA said he had checked with the state fire marshal and believed sprinkler requirements could be handled even for overnight sheltering with fire watch, and that wheelchair access existed to basement and bathrooms.
  • 1:33:33 The chair distinguished wheelchair access from full ADA compliance and said he was not prepared to support acquisition without a clearer compliance review and cost analysis.
  • 1:34:21 EMA acknowledged he had not yet obtained a full ADA-cost estimate but said he could work with county staff and others to get one.
  • 1:41:25 Another commissioner said he was open to EMA proceeding with grant paperwork, but only if later numbers on utilities, roof, HVAC, and other future costs did not show the building would become a county “money pit.”

Motion and outcome on armory information request 1:46:44

  • 1:46:50 A commissioner first moved for EMA to proceed with the grant and report back with building cost information, but procedural concerns followed over whether the committee could authorize that step.
  • 1:51:25 Discussion clarified that EMA likely does not need committee permission to apply for a grant; final acceptance of funds or purchase of real property would belong to the full body.
  • 1:54:57 The original motion was withdrawn.
  • 1:54:57 A new motion was made for EMA to report back to the Public Safety/Health-Safety-Properties committee next month with more information on yearly maintenance cost, utility cost, and ADA issues if EMA relocates to the armory.
  • 1:56:08 Because members wanted a “barometer” of support, the vote was taken by roll call.
  • 1:56:20 Motion passed 12–2.
  • 1:56:55 No one changed their vote.
  • 1:57:09 A follow-up motion proposing to give the current EOC building to veterans if it becomes available was debated but ran into legal and timing objections because the building may not become vacant and may still carry grant/use restrictions.
  • 2:02:20 That motion was withdrawn, leaving no committee recommendation on transferring the current EOC to veterans.

Codes / house foundation settlement 2:03:10

  • 2:03:18 The codes official said the office had missed a serious issue on a house and he was asking the committee to help make it right, openly admitting fault.
  • 2:03:25 He said the house had only nine piers/pillars under it when it should have had “20-something.”
  • 2:04:24 An earlier estimated fix around $26,000–$27,000 was described as excessive.
  • 2:04:38 After further work with the owner, the mayor, and engineers, the codes official said $9,000 should cover the repair and that the owner was willing to accept that amount.
  • 2:04:51 He said the payment could come from contract-services funds in the codes/cleanup budget, with money still left despite two pending court cases.
  • 2:05:20 The request was framed as necessary to preserve confidence in the codes office: if the county does not fix its own mistake, there is little point having the office.
  • 2:06:09 The county attorney was to draft a settlement agreement under which the owner would release the county, handle the work through her engineers, and have no second claim opportunity.
  • 2:06:49 The owner would also provide information to finance for a 1099, like any other contractor payment.
  • 2:07:41 Motion to endorse the mayor and codes official proceeding with the $9,000 settlement passed by roll call unanimously, 14–0.

Magistrate reappointments 2:08:38

  • 2:09:07 A motion was made to renominate two magistrates, identified as Bowman and Lisa, for another four-year term, with one serving full-time and one part-time in their current roles.
  • 2:09:44 Discussion clarified the committee was recommending the appointments to the full county commission rather than making the final appointment itself.
  • 2:10:20 Motion carried by voice vote.

Surplus North Hill Road property / auction proposal 2:10:27

  • 2:10:36 A commissioner raised newly added business on surplus county property on North Hill Road, said to total 22 acres.
  • 2:10:43 He said prior bids solicited several months earlier were too low to accept, but since then the mayor’s office, the committee chair, and he had received multiple new unsolicited proposals, including written offers exceeding earlier discussed levels.
  • 2:11:46 Rather than officials picking a preferred buyer, he proposed recommending to the full county court that the already-declared surplus property be sold by public online auction.
  • 2:12:18 He summarized input from auctioneer David Hudgens:
    • 2:12:26 online auction rather than live,
    • 2:12:26 not absolute, so the county retains the right to accept or reject any or all bids,
    • 2:12:34 10% buyer’s premium added to the purchase price,
    • 2:12:45 2% offered to licensed buyer’s agents who register clients,
    • 2:12:59 no county commission charged by Hudgens Auctions,
    • 2:13:07 advertising expenses estimated around $1,000 or less,
    • 2:13:19 online posting fee of $250,
    • 2:13:19 target auction timing in mid-May so closing could occur before fiscal year-end.
  • 2:16:05 Members asked whether use restrictions could be imposed; the response was that once sold, county control largely ends, though the county can reject undesirable bids before acceptance if disclosed plans are unacceptable.
  • 2:16:46 Discussion followed on who should have authority to accept or reject bids after the auction. The commissioner said the auctioneer preferred a small delegated group for speed, but some members wanted the matter returned to committee/full commission after bids were in.
  • 2:18:35 Several members said they wanted the final say to come back through the committee/full body rather than a three-person decision.
  • 2:14:24 Motion made to recommend to the full county court that the 22-acre North Hill Road surplus property be auctioned online through Hudgens Auctions.
  • 2:20:21 Motion carried by voice vote, with at least one audible “no.”

Adjournment 2:20:45

  • 2:20:57 Meeting adjourned on motion.
