SB 2714 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Grand Junction - Subject to local approval, authorizes the board of mayor and aldermen to appoint a town administrator; specifies the duties of the town administrator; transfers certain duties of the mayor to the town administrator; changes the appointment of the city recorder from the mayor to the board of mayor and aldermen. - Amends Chapter 75 of the Private Acts of 1969; as amended.

This bill amends the city charter for Grand Junction, Tennessee, to allow the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to appoint a Town Administrator who would oversee daily city operations. The Town Administrator would serve as the chief administrative officer, handling budget preparation, personnel management, and ensuring compliance with laws, while the Mayor would focus on representing the city and presiding over meetings. The bill also transfers certain duties from the Mayor to the Town Administrator and changes how the city recorder is appointed, shifting that authority from the Mayor to the Board. These changes aim to create a clearer division of responsibilities between the city's governing body and its administrative leadership.
