Today marks the end of the first week in new fiscal year. Most of the governing bodies in middle Tennessee have approved and put their budgets to bed.
The Cannon County Commission has scheduled its July meeting for this Saturday and no budget is listed on the agenda. So far this year, all discussion of budget has been limited to the budget committee.
One commissioner will share her thoughts on how to deal with budget options. Commissioner Kim Davenport will float the idea of freezing the property tax rate for county residents. This reportedly will be in conflict with achieving the needs of departments. Commissioner Jim Bush during the last session of the commission explained in detail what would be needed to meet with current demands.
In other items on the agenda;
Road name changes needed by 911 Mapping, discussion of the sexual harassment policy and the hotel/motel tax.
Commission is scheduled to meet at 10am in the courtroom of the county courthouse.
