The commission quickly moved several resolutions to the front, then unanimously approved four measures: two bridge-naming resolutions honoring local families, a road-closure resolution for Wink Parker Road, and a resolution setting procedures for constables to obtain law-enforcement information from 911 dispatch. The longest substantive discussion was an economic-development briefing focused on what Hickman County lacks to compete for employers: shovel-ready sites, infrastructure, water-capacity clarity, and third-party data. Commissioners then authorized a letter of intent for the state’s free PEP property-evaluation program, while a broader countywide economic-development study estimated at $50,000–$75,000 was discussed but not approved.

Other notable threads included notary approvals, reappointment of Andy Maddox to Planning and Zoning, approval of quarterly reports and the September financial summary, adoption of eight budget amendments totaling several large school, grant, ARPA, HOME, election, and capital-improvement items, concern that a state comptroller request may conflict with state law, radio-coverage and software-update issues discussed by the 911 board with B&E Radio and Harris, discussion of forming a parks and recreation committee, recognition of a private donation saving the sheriff’s department about $100,000, and a request for commissioners to respond to a school-system invitation for a joint work session amid difficult budget and possible closure discussions.

  • Opening prayer and pledge were given.

Approval of Agenda 7:09

  • 7:26 Motion to amend the agenda to move Resolutions 2638, 2639, 2640, and 2641 to immediately after approval of minutes; approved by voice vote.

Public Comments 9:58

Bridge-naming support 10:10

  • 10:18 A family representative thanked the commission for considering a resolution to name a bridge after his mother, saying the bridge is near a family cabin and burial place and that the recognition was meaningful to the family.

Parks and recreation committee request 10:51

  • 11:09 A speaker urged the commission to revisit a county parks and recreation committee, saying the agenda item deserved input from people actively involved in youth sports and park operations.
  • 11:32 He described involvement at Dual/Ballpark operations since 2017 and coaching since 2014, and contrasted visible city-side investments—Riverwalk improvements, basketball courts, pickleball, trail expansion, CA Thompson changes, and Banana Pudding Festival growth—with the lack of a unified countywide recreation strategy.
  • 12:54 He cited nonprofit revenue growth from about $38,000 average annually from 1999–2017 to $87,000 annually since 2018, with the last two years exceeding $120,000, calling it a 129% increase and evidence that local groups can expand recreation activity.
  • 13:31 He said state softball tournaments in 2024 and the past summer brought more than 3,500 visitors in various capacities, generating local spending beyond direct park revenue.
  • 14:30 He said the request was not for county money or a county takeover, but for a sustainable countywide approach and renewed attention to the 2021–22 master recreation plan that “didn’t get off the ground.”

New Business / Agenda Items 15:27

Resolution 2638 — rename bridge as Jean Pauls Bridge 15:27

  • 15:35 Resolution 2638 was presented to rename a county bridge as Jean Pauls Bridge.

  • 16:43 Additional floor comments briefly praised the family and honoree’s character.
  • 17:01 Resolution passed by roll call, 14–0.

  • 17:51 Resolution 2639 proposed naming a county bridge after Roy and Barbara, Ollie Jenkins, and the Johnston family.
  • 18:06 Sponsors said family members had called in support and argued that the Jenkins and Johnston families were foundational to that part of District 7 and deserved the recognition.
  • 18:44 With no opposition or amendment, the resolution passed by roll call, 14–0.

  • 20:59 Resolution 2641 established requirements and procedures for Hickman County constables to request law-enforcement information from 911.

  • 21:45 Resolution passed by roll call, 14–0.

Special Recognitions 22:31

Family photo pause after memorial resolutions 22:31

  • The chair allowed a brief pause for family photos after the bridge-naming resolutions so families would not need to remain through the full meeting.

State proclamations for commissioners 25:27

  • 25:36 Proclamations from state officials, including Jody Barrett, were read and distributed to commissioners who had not attended the earlier rifle-presentation event, recognizing their election or reelection and public service.

  • 27:23 Two notary applications were presented: Charlie Pruitt and Emma Varel.
  • 27:29 Notaries approved by voice vote.

  • 28:17 Appointment approved by voice vote, with remarks that he had served well.

  • 28:48 The commission received the trustee, county clerk, circuit court, register of deeds, sheriff’s department, and chancery court reports.
  • 29:19 With no questions raised, the quarterly reports were approved by roll call, 14–0.

County Mayor communications 30:10

  • 30:17 The mayor reported a busy month of trainings and meetings with EMA, TVA, the governor’s conference, the Association of County Mayors, the Tennessee County Services Association conference, the South Central Tennessee Development District, and the South Central Tennessee Human Resources Agency.
  • 30:46 He said he had gathered information to share in committee settings and framed economic development as a campaign and county priority.
  • 31:25 He asked Carla Moore to brief the commission on economic and community development so the many new commissioners would have a baseline understanding.

Economic and Community Development briefing 31:36

  • 32:00 The presentation argued that economic-development outcomes depend on choices about infrastructure, workforce, land, and readiness made long before a company call arrives.
  • 33:03 The speaker emphasized the meeting was not a project update but an explanation of what economic development is and is not, and how the county competes for jobs and investment.
  • 34:16 Economic development was defined as a long-term strategic process, not just business recruitment, aimed at attracting investment, supporting business growth, expanding the tax base, creating jobs, and improving quality of life or “quality of place.”
  • 35:02 A list of company site-selection conditions was discussed, including rooftops, population, traffic counts, workforce, infrastructure, purchasing power, and available property.
  • 35:38 Examples given: Chick-fil-A wants 50,000–100,000 residents within 3 miles, roughly 20,000–40,000 rooftops; Aldi wants 25,000–35,000 residents within 3 miles, roughly 9,000–14,000 rooftops.
  • 36:12 Traffic-count expectations were also cited: Aldi seeks about 20,000 vehicles per day and Chick-fil-A about 30,000–40,000 vehicles per day.
  • 36:41 The county was said to have only one publicly listed site on the TVA site-selection database: airport property that has been listed for about 20 years.
  • 38:38 Business retention and expansion were stressed as immediate priorities, with the claim that 80% of county business revenue comes from existing businesses; that was used to justify focusing on current employers as well as recruitment.
  • 39:16 The county’s current weakness was described as lack of a ready product to market: no shovel-ready industrial pad, no clear ready site, and uncertain supporting infrastructure.
  • 40:22 Other economic-development elements named included entrepreneurship, Main Street, chamber work, tourism, housing, education, healthcare, and retail.
  • 42:40 Public Wi-Fi on the square and at a tourism venue was cited as an example of economic development; a $100,000 technology-project opportunity was used to fund it.
  • 43:06 Water capacity was presented as a major unresolved issue. A water-resources task force exists, but the county still does not have clear answers on how much water is available or how it should be allocated among retail, industry, and housing.
  • 44:30 Workforce barriers included childcare; Hickman County was described as a child-care desert, and TVA was said to have a program to help startup daycare providers with items like diapers and cribs to support labor-force participation.
  • 46:09 A Costco example in Thompson’s Station was used to argue that development decisions made in 2008 can lead to wins 18 years later, reinforcing the county’s need for long-term planning rather than a wish list of brands.
  • 47:22 The commission’s role was framed as governance and funding: set policy, decide infrastructure and land-investment priorities, and direct the ECD office’s strategy.
  • 48:21 The briefing stressed data-driven decisions over intuition and led to two potential next steps:
    • 49:06 The state’s free PEP property-evaluation program, which would analyze up to several candidate properties, identify gaps, and recommend which sites are worth developing. Only about 5–6 counties are selected in a cycle.
    • 50:51 A broader comprehensive economic-development study, estimated at $50,000–$75,000, that could assess industrial, manufacturing, retail, commercial, housing, and related opportunities countywide and produce a five-year roadmap.
  • 55:19 On funding, the presenter said a prior request for a $35,000 ThreeStar grant for a retail study had been denied, likely in part because the county had already won another ThreeStar grant for an entrepreneurship center and funds were limited; reapplication was encouraged when funds reopen.
  • 56:14 The presenter said a comprehensive study might be financed through shared participation, possibly including the Town of Centerville or other partners, but no commitment was made.
  • 56:37 Commissioners asked whether the free PEP process should be started immediately; the response was yes, because the letter of intent should go in now and the full application deadline is January 14, 2027.
  • 57:39 The presenter added that certain state and federal grants require third-party data, making PEP or a formal study useful beyond planning.
  • 59:03 Additional questions drew out the history of the water-resources task force as a subcommittee formed after a county water meeting the previous year.
  • 1:00:33 Discussion explained that one task-force goal was to have engineered water projects ready when state funds become available, including potential interconnections between systems such as Centerville and Bon Aqua/Bakclaus water authorities.
  • 1:02:21 In response to what the county is missing most, the answer was land, infrastructure, roads, and available sites. A recent inquiry from a frozen-cookie-dough company seeking a 100,000-square-foot building with power, water, rail access, and room to expand illustrated the county’s inability to respond with a ready property.
  • 1:03:03 The county was said to own almost no land and rely on private owners, making coordination with the property assessor and landowners essential.
  • 1:04:47 Commissioners asked whether PEP and the larger study were sequential “step one, step two” efforts; the answer was they could occur together, but PEP alone could begin now while broader study discussion continues.
  • 1:05:19 The presenter said that absent a site to market, her time would likely remain focused on business retention, expansion, and workforce preparation rather than active recruitment.
  • 1:06:38 The role of the Industrial Development Board was discussed; it can grant PILOT tax arrangements, but it had not met in some time because no project was before it and quorum problems persisted.
  • 1:07:48 A vacancy issue was raised: 5 seats on the industrial board were said to be unfilled, creating a readiness problem if a prospect suddenly needed a PILOT discussion.
  • 1:08:45 A motion was made to authorize the ECD director to write the letter of intent for the PEP program.
  • 1:09:51 In discussion, commissioners asked whether the recently completed land-use plan could count as third-party data; the answer was yes, and it was suggested that a future comprehensive study could be built on the land-use plan plus PEP results.
  • 1:10:24 Motion authorizing the PEP letter of intent passed by voice vote.
  • 1:10:35 The mayor underlined the presentation’s theme that economic development is “a process, not a wish list,” and added that he has been meeting with neighboring county mayors about water-system ideas and comparisons.
  • 1:11:20 A commissioner noted that during a past Centerville water shortage, an emergency-management grant had been explored to connect Town of Centerville water and Bon Aqua/Bonis systems.

  • 1:15:08 Grouped motion to approve Amendments 2717–2724 passed by roll call, 14–0.
  • 1:16:04 The budget chair also reported a letter from the comptroller’s office had been discussed; clarification is still being sought because the comptroller’s request may differ from what state law actually requires.
  • 1:16:21 A possible joint meeting with the school system was mentioned as the venue for further discussion of that issue.

Economic and Community Development follow-up 1:16:40

  • 1:16:51 ECD announced a business-education-council meeting this week on workforce-investment ideas for high-school seniors.

  • 1:17:14 The board’s fourth and final meeting of the year was set for 9:00 on November 3 at the Board of Education.
  • 1:17:22 November availability would be limited because of travel, training, conferences, vacation, and Thanksgiving, though projects would continue.

Industrial board 1:18:00

  • 1:18:00 The industrial board had not met.
  • 1:18:06 Members said the board has largely been reduced to handling PILOT-related matters, but there may be other ways to involve it more.
  • 1:18:22 The county plans to work on additional appointments and get members who will attend.

911 board 1:19:02

  • 1:19:02 A commissioner reported that the 911 board had met and that B&E Radio and a specialist from Harris were working to diagnose radio problems in parts of the county where radios were cutting out unexpectedly.
  • 1:19:18 The troubleshooting had been underway for about 2–3 weeks.
  • 1:19:51 Members discussed a new radio-update program allowing radios to be updated over Wi-Fi rather than manually plugging each one into a computer at the building.
  • 1:20:13 The plan is for a few hotspots across the county so EMS, fire, and others can receive software updates automatically when entering those areas.
  • 1:20:37 A commissioner asked that 911 board minutes be sent to the county office because the commission had not been receiving them.

Approval of committee and board reports 1:21:03

  • 1:21:03 Motion to approve reports passed by voice vote.

Unfinished Business 1:21:39

  • No unfinished business was listed.

New Business / Agenda Items 1:21:39

Parks and recreation committee discussion 1:21:39

  • 1:21:51 A commissioner said many residents had asked before, during, and after the election for a parks and recreation committee, largely to create more opportunities for children and to address trails and outdoor recreation.
  • 1:22:07 The argument for the committee was tied both to grants and to the “community development” side of economic and community development, especially quality of place.
  • 1:22:36 The speaker said the UT/CTAS site indicated a minimum of 5 members and that 2 members need to work for the school district, though legal/administrative clarification is still needed on how that applies locally.
  • 1:22:59 The matter was intentionally brought as discussion only so a fuller resolution could be drafted for the next meeting after gathering opinions.
  • 1:23:16 Other commissioners said parks and recreation had also been a repeated campaign issue and agreed it fits the county’s goal of making Hickman County a place where families want to live, work, and play.
  • 1:23:43 Members suggested checking the maximum number of members so the full county could be represented rather than keeping the committee at the bare minimum.
  • 1:24:25 Commissioners also supported including community members, especially people already active in youth sports and park management.
  • 1:24:37 A question arose about whether members would be appointed by the mayor and approved by the commission or selected another way; no answer was finalized, with advice to consult CTAS.
  • 1:25:31 A local park representative said their board currently has 9 members, including officers and scheduling roles, offering a possible model.
  • 1:25:56 A commissioner suggested at minimum that the chairs of existing park-related boards should have seats or designated positions on the county committee.
  • 1:26:27 Discussion also noted the difference between athletic-park boards and broader community-park organizations such as the Friends of Buford McCord structure.
  • 1:27:03 It was noted that the Town of Centerville does not have a separate parks and recreation board; the park structure is under baseball.
  • No motion was made; matter left for further research and a possible future resolution.

Sheriff’s department donation recognition 1:27:31

  • 1:27:31 A commissioner raised a recent presentation by SIG Sauer and Shawn Ryan, who donated weapons and committed funds for medical kits for sheriff’s deputies.
  • 1:28:03 The commissioner said a thank-you resolution may be prepared with the county clerk because the donation was substantial.
  • 1:28:21 The sheriff said the contribution saved taxpayers about $100,000 by upgrading rifles and first-aid kits for the department and had generated significant outside attention.
  • 1:28:48 He said additional interest and communications had followed, including outreach from a TV show, and he emphasized gratitude for the support.

Joint work session with school system 1:29:10

  • 1:29:10 A commissioner reminded members that Superintendent Michelle Gilbert had sent an email proposing a joint work session, likely offering 3 January dates, and said only 6 commissioners had replied.
  • 1:29:38 He tied that appeal to the evening’s “one county, one strategy, one message” theme and urged stronger cooperation with the school system ahead of budget season.
  • 1:29:54 He warned that difficult months are ahead, including hard funding choices and possible school-closure discussions, and said the commission should avoid being confrontational with the school board.
  • 1:30:09 He praised the superintendent’s work under difficult circumstances and said even replying to the invitation would show support and improve morale.
  • 1:32:11 The chair agreed that support does not require agreement on everything and said the commission should use dialogue to work through problems and pick workable dates.

Adjournment 1:32:45

  • 1:32:45 Motion to adjourn was entertained and seconded.
  • The transcript then continues with post-adjournment side discussion; no further official action is clear from the record.
