DAYTON, Tenn. — Rhea County officials agreed that legal advice was needed before a collection agency could be chosen to recoup the county’s outstanding court fees and fines.
“Can we turn this over to our attorney? I can’t decide (between the bidders), can you?” County Commissioner Chris Goodwin said to Chairman Ronnie Raper and fellow board members at Wednesday’s weekly meeting of the Rhea County Purchase and Finance Committee.
Bids came in last month from GILA and Nationwide, both out-of-state collection agencies, Finance Director Bill Graham said after the meeting.
