The commission quickly moved several zoning and road items to the front of the meeting because residents had come to speak. One rezoning request on North Ti Road drew public concern over development impacts such as water and sewer capacity; rather than vote it through, the commission postponed it for a month so residents could raise questions at Planning and Zoning. Other land-use items — a road closure for a family safety issue, two rezonings, and an industrial-park road-list update — were approved unanimously among those present.
Other consequential actions included appointing Ron Puckett to fill the District 6 vacancy left by Commissioner Moore, approving a Solid Waste contract increase of $4,700 for a required bond on the East Center project, passing multiple budget amendments including one for courtroom security from reserves, and adopting a resolution asking the state to return half of the real estate transfer tax collected in each county. Additional threads included the mayor being out of town, Planning Commission work on the land-use plan, and the UT Extension office reporting that it is down to 1 active agent out of 3 positions after two departures.
Call to Order and opening business 4:28
- 4:37 Roll call found 9 present, 4 absent, and 1 vacancy, establishing a quorum.

Public Comments 6:27
Public concerns about North Ti Road rezoning 7:17
- 7:17 Several residents spoke about the proposed rezoning at 104 North Ti Road, saying they had unanswered questions about the project and wanted clarity before any development moved forward.
- 9:00 Concerns mentioned included infrastructure and utility issues such as water lines and sewer lines, and a broader desire for questions to be addressed before development proceeds.
- 8:22 The chair said those questions would be better handled in the Planning and Zoning Committee, noting there had been no public opposition voiced at the prior planning meeting and indicating the matter might need to be revisited there.
Request to close part of Taylor Creek Road 9:45
- 10:10 A resident asked the commission to approve closure of a small portion of Taylor Creek Road, saying the family owns property on all sides, the segment is essentially a cut-through, no utilities would be disrupted, and speeding traffic passes very close to a home with small children.
Expression of interest in Highway 7 tower property 11:10
- 11:19 A resident said she was interested in the property associated with the Highway 7 emergency tower and wanted to be involved in discussions if the property might be sold.
- 11:47 The chair said there was no actionable item on that subject that night and directed her to the Property Committee's next meeting for discussion.
Approval of Agenda 13:17
- 13:26 By motion and second, the commission moved Resolutions 2504, 2505, 2506, and 2507 forward on the agenda so the audience present for those matters would not have to wait.
- 14:16 The amended agenda was then approved without recorded opposition.
New Business / Agenda Items 16:03
Resolution 2504 — close a portion of Taylor Creek Road 16:03
- 16:26 The sponsor explained this was a short connector between roads that motorists use as a cut-through, creating a safety issue for a young family with children living immediately beside it.

Resolution 2505 — rezoning at 104 North Ti Road, Bon Aqua, from A-1 to R-1 17:38
- 17:46 This was the rezoning that drew residents to the meeting.
- 18:02 A commissioner moved to postpone the item for 1 month so residents could attend the proper Planning and Zoning forum and get answers from those better positioned to address their concerns.
- 18:34 The postponement passed by roll call, 9–0 with 4 absent.
- 18:59 Outcome: the rezoning was postponed to the February meeting rather than approved or denied.
Resolution 2506 — rezoning at 5688 Highway 100 19:30
- 19:49 The sponsor described this as a straightforward zoning change that had passed Planning and Zoning unanimously and said the property was eligible for the requested change.
- 20:15 The commission approved the rezoning by roll call, 9–0 with 4 absent.
Resolution 2507 — rezoning on Gordon Lane, Lyles, from A-1 to R-1 20:40
- 20:47 The sponsor said the parcel is not functioning as agricultural property but as residential property and described it as a simple zoning correction that had passed Planning and Zoning unanimously.

New Business / Agenda Items 38:04
Resolution 2501 — request state return half of real estate transfer tax to counties 38:04
- 38:04 The commission considered a resolution urging the 114th session of the Tennessee General Assembly to allocate one half of the real estate transfer tax back to the county where it was collected on a recurring basis.
- 38:33 The sponsor explained that the state currently collects 37 cents per $100 of property value on real estate sales, with the tax collected locally but remitted to the state.
- 38:46 The rationale was that property sold in the county generates the tax there, so the county should share in that revenue as a way to improve local revenue streams.
- 39:24 The resolution passed by roll call, 10–0 with 3 absent, indicating one additional member was present by this point.
Resolution 2503 — add industrial park road to county road list 39:53
- 40:01 This resolution updated the county road list by adding a road in the industrial park off Highway 46.
- 40:09 The sponsor said the road had been built by Mr. Rinker.
- 40:17 The practical reason for adding it to the official list was so building permits and related approvals could proceed properly.
- 40:25 A condition was noted in the resolution: a bond would be put in place because the builder would guarantee the road for the first year.
- 40:49 The resolution passed by roll call, 10–0 with 3 absent.
Adjournment 41:15
- 41:15 The chair reminded members that signatures were needed before they left.
- 41:30 The meeting adjourned by motion and second without opposition.
