During Monday night’s Roane County Commission meeting, officials officially transitioned the title of the county leader from County Executive to County Mayor, aligning the local position with the majority of Tennessee counties following action by the State Legislature. In other business, the commission approved fiscal year appropriations for 23 local nonprofit charitable organizations. However, a major agenda item regarding a proposed 25-plus-year lease for the nonprofit Planned Pet Hood at the Roane County Animal Shelter facility faced pushback. Commissioners voted to send the lease agreement back to the property committee for further review, with plans to revisit the request next month. Upcoming Events and Announcements
