Jackson-Madison County, TN Commission CALLED Meeting on 8-26-26

The Jackson-Madison County Commission held a called meeting on August 26, 2026. Commissioners considered a compensation resolution that initially proposed raising monthly pay for county commissioners and school board members from $500 to $750, and pay for each board’s chair to $1,500. The discussion also addressed whether commissioners could participate in the county health insurance program; the resolution before the commission had no insurance provision.

A motion to increase compensation was withdrawn, and the resolution was amended to keep pay at current levels. The amended resolution passed, superseding the April 15, 2024 resolution and maintaining current pay beginning September 1. This was a compensation decision rather than a procurement action; no contracts, vendor selections, or purchasing decisions were identified.
