Public Works Committee - July 7, 2026

The Public Works Committee meeting of Rutherford County held on July 7, 2026, included discussions primarily focused on county infrastructure and environmental management. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of a quitclaim deed conveying a 50-foot strip of land on Two Deer Trail to the city of Murfreesboro to facilitate a state Department of Transportation (TDOT) project involving the expansion of Highway 840 and an interchange ramp. The deed was approved with the stipulation that the county assumes no liability or costs related to the conveyance. Additionally, the Solid Waste Department reported on operational metrics and introduced a new mattress recycling program starting August 1, which involves placing collection trailers at convenience centers and the landfill, with a disposal fee of $25 per mattress. The meeting also covered routine reports on building inspections, zoning enforcement, and litter grant activities, but no new contracts or budget allocations were explicitly discussed.
