CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — (CLARKSVILLENOW) Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett has requested a Special Called Budget meeting on Thursday, July 25, at 6 p.m. to correct a procedural error.
During preparation of the official documents reflecting the actions taken at the Montgomery County Commission Meeting of July 15, the County Clerk’s office discovered that after amendment of Resolution 19-7-4 to establish a tax rate in Montgomery County, Tennessee, at $2.99, the main motion then, as amended, was not called to the floor for a vote. At the time, no one noticed the oversight. A vote on the main motion as amended would be required to complete that business.
Pursuant to the rules that govern procedures, this would be classified as unfinished business which must be taken up at the next meeting to its conclusion. Mayor Durrett has convened a special meeting by giving five days’ notice and appropriate notice to the Commissioners to appear at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 25.
After the meeting has been called to order, the unfinished business set out in the Notice will be called, and the resolution as amended reflecting a tax rate of $2.99 will be called for a vote of the legislative body.
As with all County Commission meetings, the public is invited to attend. Public comments are not permitted during Formal Commission meetings. To request to speak at an Informal Commission meeting, email smbaggett@mcgtn.net. For further information call (931) 648-5787.
