UPDATE: First, this item was placed on the consent agenda which cannot be debated. I was successful at removing this item from the consent agenda so it can be debated. The very second this item came up on the agenda. Chairman Markham called on Commissioner Previti. Commissioner Previti immediately called for the question. This means if passed this item cannot be debated. This is unprecedented and frankly very questionable. All I am asking is that the company in question do what they have been hired to do but apparently others don’t see it that way. What a shame.

Video will be posted soon.

Tonight, the Maury County Commission is set to vote on an agreement with a construction company for upcoming projects as our owners advocate. This company initially provided a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for a project, but only recently did we discover that paving the parking lot is not included. I’ve reviewed meeting minutes from the park board and the county commission, pulled resolutions, and spoken to department heads and our county attorney. Yet, no one can tell me who removed the parking lot from the project scope.

Frankly, I’m tired of our projects being shortchanged, and I’m frustrated by the continued excuses from other commissioners regarding these issues.

Maury County deserves better. This is NOT the only building built by this company in Maury County that was left UNFINISHED.
