Obion County changes road department leadership

The law establishes a road superintendent to lead Obion County’s highway department and oversee road and bridge construction and repairs. The current superintendent serves through the end of that term. Afterward, a majority of the entire county legislative body selects the superintendent. Four-year terms begin July 1, 2027, and every four years after that. The superintendent’s qualifications, pay, powers, duties, and limits follow Tennessee’s County Uniform Highway Law, including future amendments. The superintendent handles department purchases, proposes its budget, and tracks inventory under state law and local rules. A later county law adopting centralized purchasing replaces this act’s purchasing rules. The superintendent can spend highway fund money within the county-approved budget. Road fund payment orders require signatures from both the superintendent and county mayor. The county can also create an advisory committee to recommend road needs. County operations under the act require approval by two-thirds of the county legislative body. Its presiding officer must announce approval or rejection and certify the result to the Secretary of State.
