10/5/26 - Bradley County Commission Voting Session

At the October 5, 2026 Bradley County Commission voting session, commissioners approved a four-year computer services and software agreement with Professional Governmental Research and Solutions, Inc. for the Register of Deeds, at $165 per instrument or document filed; no total contract value was stated. They also approved an employment and contingency agreement to join other local governments in litigation over alleged antitrust violations in the fire apparatus market, with no amount or firm identified. All recorded votes on these agenda items were 13 in favor, with one commissioner absent.

The commission voted unanimously to support the county attorney and mayor in defending the county’s data-center development regulations against a lawsuit; the county attorney said insurance had denied coverage and that budget amendments may be requested as needed for litigation costs. Commissioners also approved requests for road studies, prioritizing Peach Orchard Hill Road ahead of Hancock Road, and directing the road department to evaluate improvement options at Benton Pike and Mine Road and provide updates every three months. Public comment focused on proposed data-center and other industrial development; no moratorium was adopted or procurement for those projects approved.
