Back on the main association webpage http://www.tncountycommissioners.org/ we have added some new material to the Legal Issues section of the website. Click on the tab for "Legal Issues" to access this information or use the links below.
One item is a flow chart of the procedure for adoption of a resolution of the county legislative body. This chart covers the basics and gives citations to the Tennessee Code provisions related to the approval and veto process. Depending on your local rules, there may be some additional steps or details in your county. The chart can be found here: http://www.tncountycommissioners.org/files/resolution_flowchart.pdf
The second item is a set of Samples Rules of Procedure. These sample rules for a county legislative body were drafted by the County Technical Assistance Service. Many counties operate in accordance with Robert Rules of Order. But if you are interested in a set of rules more specifically designed for the functions of a county commission, you may want to consider these rules. These rules also appear in the appendices of the County Government Handbook, one of the many CTAS publications. A direct link to these rules is here:

I hope these materials are useful to you. If you know of resources or items that would help you in your service as a county commissioner, do not hesitate to ask. Send me an e-mail or post a comment and I'll see what I can do.
