10/19/26 - Bradley County Commission Voting Session

Bradley County Commission voting session, October 19, 2026: Commissioners approved continuing employee health insurance coverage with Sigma Health and Life Insurance Company, offering four plan options, with county cost capped at $89.31 per employee per month. The resolution passed 14–0. The commission also approved a $30,000 grant through the Tennessee Department of Health for upgrades to the Bradley County Health Department’s front-lobby doors to provide an ADA-compliant entrance. The mayor reported that two projects on Menace Road were underway, but no project costs or contract awards were discussed.

The commission approved two rezoning resolutions, both by 14–0 votes; discussion of one development included concerns about traffic on Benton Pike and potential school capacity impacts. A separate proposed Dollar General rezoning on Springplace Road was discussed during public comment but was not on this meeting’s agenda and was expected to come before the commission in November. No procurement decision on that proposal was made at this session.
