The Henderson County Commissioner's Court decided Tuesday to set the speed and weight limit on CR 3412, located between Chandler and Moore Station. The decision, which came as part of the regular weekly meeting, set the speed limit for the road at 30 miles per hour, and the weight limit at 20 tons.

Ronny Lawrence, precinct three commissioner, said, "30 miles per hour is the lowest we can set a road without studying it."

A public hearing was held just before the decision was made. Two people spoke concerning the decision, one in favor of the speed limit and another against it.

Lawrence made the motion, and Precinct One Commissioner Joe Hall seconded, to set the speed limit for the road at 30 miles per hour, and the weight limit at 40,000 pounds. The motion passed.

The court also took action on an inter-local agreement with the Andrews Center.

County Judge David Holstein said, "The Andrews Center is an organization that helps us with mental health issues."

The contract renewal with the Andrews Center was motioned for and seconded by Wade McKinney, precinct two commissioner, and Hall, respectively.

There were two notifications of open positions the court announced. The first is for appointments for positions on the Hospital Authority Board, the second is for nominations for positions on the ETMC Athens Board of Managers. For the first group, the appointments must be from precinct two and three. For both groups, applications can be made by contacting the county judge's office or the appropriate commissioner.

After learning about the latest jail expansion issues, the court moved on to budget amendments. The motion to approve the budget amendments was made and seconded by Jerry West, precinct four commissioner, and Hall, respectively.

Finally, the court approved the payment of $238,849.84 in bills. West made the motion and Hall seconded.
