TREZEVANT (January 8) — Trezevant’s Board of Aldermen met in their first session of 2019 with a short agenda of business. Mayor Bobby Blaylock declared a vacancy on the board due to the resignation of Alderman Joe Fowler, who has moved from the town since the last meeting in November. Blaylock recommended former Water Department supervisor Tim Rogers to fill the vacancy which was unanimously approved. He was present at the meeting and was sworn in by town attorney Charles Trotter.
The board heard updates on the status of properties being cleaned up and the recent engineering survey done on Park Street. Street department employee Mary Jo Hall told the board she had not had any contact with the Grimes since early December as to the cleanup process at their property. City Recorder Kathy Edwards advised Mr. McRae had been in touch and made much progress at his property. It was announced that the preliminary survey work had been completed on Park Street by A2H Engineering and the town would soon be able to proceed with work to be done on that project.
Jeff Goad advised the Board an amendment to the water budget would be necessary because the state had sent $168,640 to pay Tegrah Engineering to pay for water line related survey work being done to the proposed four lane. Goad said there would be no expense to the town.
