All Dickson County public meetings will take place electronically after a recent 10 percent increase in COVID-19 cases locally stated Dickson County Mayor Bob Rial in an order he issued Thursday.
The order, which is effective immediately and lasts until Aug. 31, led to a county planning commission meeting scheduled for Thursday night being moved to July 23 at 7 p.m. The agenda included more discussion of the Titan Partners fuel terminal planned for southeast Dickson County.
The meeting will be held electronically and details on the electronic access will be released in the coming days.
Rial said Friday that county EMA Director Rob Fisher is “working with the community wide committee to monitor the situation and give advice if we need to take further action.”
The county mayor said the planning commission meeting is also being delayed after Roger Waynick, the attorney representing the group opposed to the fuel terminal, was concerned about COVID-19 exposure and further in-person public meetings.
“We need to follow the governor's orders and show the public we take their health and safety seriously,” Waynick wrote in an email to Rial.
Rial said the county commission’s work session has been cancelled to give county officials tims to get the technology in place for online meetings.
According to the state Department of Health, Dickson County has just over 250 positive COVID-19 cases with 109 recovered and no deaths.
