The Lawrence County Commission convened for its regular session on Tuesday, tackling a comprehensive agenda that saw a mix of approvals, rejections, and amendments. Among the approved items were a resolution to adopt a revised transportation fee schedule for Lawrence County EMS, a resolution to endorse the Lawrence County road list, and a resolution recommending Charlie Holt as the delinquent tax attorney. Additionally, the commission approved the purchase of a mobile convenience center truck for solid waste and accepted a health department building grant to facilitate the construction of a new health department building and improvements to the existing structure.
However, resolutions related to matching funds grants for two volunteer fire departments were amended and referred back to the Emergency Services Committee for further discussion on budget request guidelines. Another resolution, which sought to amend the budget by excluding the purchase of an LED sign, was also passed with amendments. On the other hand, a resolution to approve an agreement for solid waste services in Mississippi failed to garner enough support, with 7 commissioners voting for and 10 against, while 2 abstained from voting.
