Cherokee County Commission Approves Six Items in Regular Meeting
The Cherokee County Commission held its regular meeting this week, where no public comments or awards presentations were made. Commissioners approved the agenda, followed by the consent agenda, which included minutes from the previous meeting and payables.
No staff agency reports were presented beyond those discussed in the earlier planning session. The Commission also had no public hearings and no old business to consider.
In new business, six items were brought forward, all of which passed unanimously without objection:

Adopt Resolution Regarding Simplified Sellers Use Tax Program – The resolution encourages the Alabama Legislature to oppose any changes to the current system, which provides counties with funding through internet sales tax collections distributed across the state. The Commission also authorized the chairman to sign the resolution.
