Hamilton County commissioners distributed proceeds from the sale of Signal Mountain Middle School to three high schools today.
East Hamilton School, Signal Mountain Middle-High School and Soddy-Daisy High School each will receive $266,087.
The commission also approved two on-call magistrates – Marty Lasley and Robert Meeks – on a vote of 6-3.
Commissioners Warren Mackey, Jim Coppinger and Richard Casavant did not support the proposal, saying they have concerns about the cost and growth of the program.
Commissioners also discussed a $144,195 grant application for infrastructure on behalf of Southern Tool Steel Inc. to help pay for a $1.7 million expansion of the company. The expansion will add 25 new jobs within first year of completion and 25 to 40 jobs within the first three to five years.
