Signal Mountain Begins Process Of Hiring Administrative Officer To Hear Zoning, Property Maintenance Cases Monday, April 12, 2021 - by Judy Frank
With several looming zoning and property maintenance cases waiting to be resolved, Signal Mountain is actively planning to hire an administrative hearing officer to handle them as soon as possible.
The new officer will be replacing Charlie Poss, who held the position for about 10 years.
Mr. Poss, who now serves as the town’s mayor, said the officer does not necessarily have to be an attorney but will be required to attend periodic training sessions.
Town attorney Harry Cash and town manager Boyd Veal told council members that local attorney Jim Exum, who already serves as administrative hearing officer for both Collegedale and Red Bank, has indicated that he would be interested in filling the position for Signal Mountain as well.
