Wayne County Commissioners Meeting of June 24, 2026

The Wayne County Commissioners held a meeting on June 24, 2026, where they addressed several procurement and contract-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the approval of a bid for three sheriff vehicles from Kelly's for $167,481, which exceeded the council-approved budget by $2,481; the commissioners approved a motion to seek additional council approval for the overage. They also approved a $334,182 contract with American Structure Point for construction engineering inspection services on the Fountain City Pike project, with funding partially covered by TDOT and the county responsible for the remainder. Additionally, the commissioners discussed the relocation of a water line at the fairgrounds parking lot, which was an unplanned expense to be paid over two fiscal years. Other topics included the approval of a driveway permit with a speed limit reduction, the vacation of certain public ways to facilitate property development, and the potential hiring of an external firm to assist with state-mandated housing inventory reporting, estimated at $7,000. The meeting also covered administrative items such as the disposal of non-functional filing cabinets and the management of tax sale surplus funds. Motions related to procurement and budget allocations were passed unanimously, and the commissioners planned to coordinate further with the council and relevant departments on funding and procedural matters.
