The meeting’s substantive action centered on two policy matters: unanimous adoption of a resolution opposing the **Columbia Power and Water** permit to increase withdrawals from the Duck River, and unanimous repeal of **Resolution 18-29**, which commissioners said had created unnecessary hurdles for home-based businesses seeking business licenses. Public commenters and commissioners framed the Duck River item as a long-term environmental and water-supply issue, citing low-flow conditions, wildlife impacts, and concern that the permit allows continued withdrawals even in drought conditions. The repeal of the 2018 business-license measure was urged as a pullback from overregulation, especially for residents working from home.

Other notable business included creation of county membership on the joint animal shelter committee; approval of multiple budget amendments covering grants, internal cleanups, insurance recovery, medical insurance, legal costs, sheriff vehicles, and courtroom security; surplus declaration and transfer of two county properties to the rescue squad and Pleasantville volunteer fire department; a facilities update on the Harville building opening; planning work on the land use plan; and scheduling the new joint committee’s first organizational meeting.

## Call to Order, agenda, and public comments 2:27
- 4:05 Agenda amended to move **Resolution 24-06** to immediately after adoption of the minutes; amended agenda approved by voice vote.

### Public comments on Duck River permit 5:52
- 6:07 A resident living on the Duck River for **22 years** opposed additional withdrawals, saying she has personally seen high and low river conditions and warning that lower water levels could harm birds, fish, mussels, and other wildlife.
- 7:54 A longtime river user said he has fished the Duck River about **50 years** and has already seen navigation become harder, warning that added withdrawals could reduce the river to “creeks instead of river.”
- 9:31 A speaker described the permit as raising **Columbia**’s withdrawal from **20 million gallons per day** to **32 million gallons per day**, with additional permits expected behind it. He argued the current permit language allows pumping even at extremely low flows, said a recent public meeting at the high school led to formation of “Hickman County for the Duck River,” and said the group plans to challenge the permit before an administrative law judge.

## New Business / Agenda Items

### Resolution 24-07 opposing Duck River withdrawal permit 45:39
- 45:48 Resolution **24-07** concerned Hickman County’s opposition to the aquatic resource alteration permit application submitted by **Columbia Power and Water System** to the **Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation**.
- 46:11 Sponsors argued the requested increase of **12 million extra gallons**—from **20 million** to **32 million gallons per day**—would harm river flow and Duck River conditions in Hickman County.
- 46:42 A principal objection was that the intake location was placed near the Hickman County line and, as described by speakers, below tributary inputs needed to satisfy flow assumptions.
- 46:52–47:09 Commissioners also objected to what they described as a **zero-flow restriction** problem: concern that the permit would still allow pumping during drought or very low-flow periods.
- 47:25 Another commissioner supported the resolution with personal observations that navigation has worsened over time, even with a jet motor, and argued the current approach is not a sustainable long-term water-supply solution.
- 48:12 A commissioner said comments had previously been submitted to **TDEC** and legislators but had not drawn meaningful responses beyond automated acknowledgments, which was offered as a reason local governments and citizens needed to act collectively.
- 49:10 Supporters urged shifting toward long-term solutions that draw from larger water bodies rather than increasingly depleted streams.
- 50:12 Before the vote, the chair stated that if the resolution passed, copies and a narrative would be sent by the chair and mayor’s office to the **TDEC** commissioner and assistant commissioner, the governor, Senator **Mark Pody**, and Representative **Jody Barrett**.
- 50:54 Resolution adopted by roll-call vote **12 yes, 2 absent**.

### Repeal of Resolution 18-29 on business-license logistics 51:19
- 51:19 The chair opened discussion on repealing **Resolution 18-29**, a **2018** measure that had imposed logistical requirements on people seeking business licenses.
- 51:43 The clerk and planning/zoning office had reportedly advised that these requirements were no longer needed.
- 52:20 Motion made to repeal **Resolution 18-29** in its entirety.
- 52:52 Planning/Zoning Director Robert Akinson said the county should not require someone working from home on a laptop at a dining-room table to make extra trips through county offices, arguing the county was overstepping and that any needed land-use protections could be handled elsewhere.
- 53:57 County Clerk Casey Dorton said the county was the only one among Tennessee’s **95 counties** doing this and argued the **TCA** requires the clerk to issue business licenses rather than add extra local hurdles; if a business later violates applicable rules, that can be addressed afterward.
- 54:56 Repeal approved by roll-call vote **12 yes, 2 absent**.

## Announcements and Adjournment 55:27
- 55:27 No additional unfinished business or major announcements were taken up.

New Business / Agenda Items

Resolution 24-07 opposing Duck River withdrawal permit 45:39

45:48 Resolution 24-07 concerned Hickman County’s opposition to the aquatic resource alteration permit application submitted by Columbia Power and Water System to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
46:11 Sponsors argued the requested increase of 12 million extra gallons—from 20 million to 32 million gallons per day—would harm river flow and Duck River conditions in Hickman County.
46:42 A principal objection was that the intake location was placed near the Hickman County line and, as described by speakers, below tributary inputs needed to satisfy flow assumptions.
46:52–47:09 Commissioners also objected to what they described as a zero-flow restriction problem: concern that the permit would still allow pumping during drought or very low-flow periods.
47:25 Another commissioner supported the resolution with personal observations that navigation has worsened over time, even with a jet motor, and argued the current approach is not a sustainable long-term water-supply solution.
48:12 A commissioner said comments had previously been submitted to TDEC and legislators but had not drawn meaningful responses beyond automated acknowledgments, which was offered as a reason local governments and citizens needed to act collectively.
49:10 Supporters urged shifting toward long-term solutions that draw from larger water bodies rather than increasingly depleted streams.
50:12 Before the vote, the chair stated that if the resolution passed, copies and a narrative would be sent by the chair and mayor’s office to the TDEC commissioner and assistant commissioner, the governor, Senator Mark Pody, and Representative Jody Barrett.
50:54 Resolution adopted by roll-call vote 12 yes, 2 absent.

Repeal of Resolution 18-29 on business-license logistics 51:19

51:19 The chair opened discussion on repealing Resolution 18-29, a 2018 measure that had imposed logistical requirements on people seeking business licenses.
51:43 The clerk and planning/zoning office had reportedly advised that these requirements were no longer needed.
52:20 Motion made to repeal Resolution 18-29 in its entirety.
52:52 Planning/Zoning Director Robert Akinson said the county should not require someone working from home on a laptop at a dining-room table to make extra trips through county offices, arguing the county was overstepping and that any needed land-use protections could be handled elsewhere.
53:57 County Clerk Casey Dorton said the county was the only one among Tennessee’s 95 counties doing this and argued the TCA requires the clerk to issue business licenses rather than add extra local hurdles; if a business later violates applicable rules, that can be addressed afterward.
54:56 Repeal approved by roll-call vote 12 yes, 2 absent.

Announcements and Adjournment 55:27

55:27 No additional unfinished business or major announcements were taken up.
55:27 Motion to adjourn approved by voice vote.

myself do either of you wish to speak to this matter commissioner C uh resolution 46:1146 minutes, 11 seconds247 uh just speaks to the permit uh that Columbia Power and Water has asked for 46:1846 minutes, 18 secondsand it is in the appeal process now and uh we just feel like it will be detrimental to Hickman County Duck River 46:2646 minutes, 26 secondsis one of the the great things about Hickman County um the 12 million extra gallons that they're going to pull out 46:3546 minutes, 35 secondsum feel like it's going to affect the flow um the the big red flag for me personally is that they put the tap 46:4246 minutes, 42 secondsright on the Hickman County Line CU they had to get uh enough flow they had to get past a couple tributaries and the um the public 46:5246 minutes, 52 secondscomment period very well said by the by the citizens and um the the zero Flow 46:5946 minutes, 59 secondsRestriction is a problem uh because the when the drought conditions hit and they still can pull out the 12 million extra 47:0947 minutes, 9 secondsgallons the 32 million gallons uh we feel like it's going to cause a real problem to uh the Duck River and Hickman County and I would appreciate your 47:1747 minutes, 17 secondssupport in this resolution commissioner chesher I agree with what commissioner calicott said 47:2547 minutes, 25 secondsalso what the citizens that spoke said as well um on a personal level I've grown up on that River fishing on it 47:3347 minutes, 33 secondswith my grandfather uh my dad and uncle both sides of the family own Farmland we we still own a a small cabin uh Upstream 47:4147 minutes, 41 secondsfrom here um and and I believe it's something that's worth protecting um I don't have a degree in environmental 47:4947 minutes, 49 secondsscience but I know as a kid we could run just about anywhere we wanted on that River with a propeller motor and fast forward to I'm in high school and my 47:5747 minutes, 57 secondsgrandfather has to buy a jet motor and we could still run where we wanted to and now today in the summertime with my own boys there's times we can't even get 48:0448 minutes, 4 secondsup and down the river with with a jet motor so I know there's less and less water in that River each summer um when 48:1248 minutes, 12 secondsthis whole permit was proposed I commented the tck like was asked I also 48:2048 minutes, 20 secondsemailed every one of our representatives and Senators not just that represent Hickman County but that represent an area the pedu flows 48:2748 minutes, 27 secondsthrough I tried to go about it that way first and out of all those emails sent out other than the automated response from that office saying thank you for 48:3648 minutes, 36 secondscontacting us I got zero responses back and some of those same folks are claiming to be all for us 48:4448 minutes, 44 secondsnow when the government at the higher levels does not listen to the individual voices of the people in a community saying we need 48:5348 minutes, 53 secondshelp then those voices have to join together and The Voice has to get a little bit louder and that's what this group's doing now and uh once it's gone 49:0249 minutes, 2 secondsit's gone this isn't something we can say well we should have thought about that a little bit more uh the solution is not to continue pulling more and more 49:1049 minutes, 10 secondswater from already depleted streams we need a long-term solution pulling water from bigger bodies of water that can 49:1749 minutes, 17 secondsaccommodate that growth and so I believe um what the group is asking what this 49:2449 minutes, 24 secondsresolution is just saying we support is is to pump the brakes and get all of the heads in the room together and say 49:3149 minutes, 31 secondswe need a better long-term solution because this is not going to sustain long-term growth and so I applaud the 49:3949 minutes, 39 secondsefforts of the group that's that's fighting this and I'm going to enthusiastically vote Yes on this resolution tonight thank you Mr chairman 49:4849 minutes, 48 secondsany other comments on resolution 2407 commiss M he talks last has the least to say I
