11/2/26 - Bradley County Commission Voting Session

Bradley County Commission voting session, Bradley County, Tennessee, November 2, 2026. The Commission unanimously approved a Finance Committee recommendation to award $574,723 in Healthy Community funding for 11 of 13 applications; some recommendations included partial funding or contingencies. The funds were described as originating from the sale of the hospital. The committee also discussed opioid funding, with recommendations expected to come before the full Commission in December. A science-wing groundbreaking at Bradley Central High School and a safe-house groundbreaking were noted, but no construction contract or vendor award was announced; a resident’s question about who received the high-school project contract was not answered during the meeting. The consent agenda also passed, though its items were not detailed in the transcript.

The Commission adopted updated rules of procedure, including clarification of public-comment rules, by a vote of 13–0 with one absent. The Mayor’s appointment of Terry Murray to the Regional Planning Commission was confirmed. Public comments raised concerns about the rules and a data-center-related lawsuit, but no related procurement decision or spending action was taken.
