Officially, it will be known as Resolution No. 915-34.
Realistically, it was local government - debate and discussion and ideas put to a vote - that worked at the most basic and proper level.
Resolution No. 915-34 allowed Hamilton County Commissioner Joe Graham to put his $100,000 in discretionary money back into the county's reserve fund. An amendment allowed Commissioner Marty Haynes, who is running to be Hamilton County's next property assessor, to put his hundred grand back, too.
The debate stirred discussion and passion - on this issue and commissioners' obligations.
That's a good thing.
It was made better because an ill-advised attempt to redirect the combined $200,000 from Graham and Haynes to Orange Grove Center was denied.
Nothing against Orange Grove, of course, they do fantastic work, but this debate at its core was more about a governmental lesson than which of the good-works organization in our county deserves more funding. (And if you are going to start cherry-picking which group you want to support, how to say no to the other two dozen or so groups in need of county funding?)
Forget how these discretionary funds were procured for just a moment - as hard as that may be for some of us.
The definition of these funds is discretion, and it is a commissioner's discretion to direct his or her money where each sees fit - in this case for Graham and Haynes back into the county coffers. That's where it originally was before the Sneaky Six pulled an 11th-hour fast one in July - that's their decision, and it's one they will have to live with come the next voting cycle.
The commissioners who worked to keep their six-figure accounts to help everything from park benches to neighborhood associations have said it's not about the money.
Graham's detractors - and Haynes' too - questioned their reasoning at Wednesday's commission meeting. They questioned the motives and their ideology, even alleging that giving the money back was political maneuvering.
OK, that's within the discourse of due process. But that line of questioning goes both ways. The funds assuredly offer a wealth of voter-pleasing power for sitting commissioners, and when are our political leaders not acting on their beliefs?
"I have been to five community meetings after this was announced," Graham said after the meeting Wednesday, four days after telling this paper's Louie Brogdon that he intended to do this and that there potentially was someone trying to move that money to another cause. "And in three of them, I received a standing ovation.
"The people of my district did not agree with the funds from the beginning, and I am acting on their wishes."
Graham, who was quick to note that he still has plenty of his untouched expense account to help his district, gave a fist pump after the two roll call votes fell his way, meaning the money went back to the county's reserve fund.
He admitted there has been a lot of pressure surrounding this issue.
And that pressure will only intensify.
The Sneaky Six started this ball rolling, but in truth there is a Power Five emerging that would make Huey Long and Fred Skillern smile and say, "Well done."
The mini-conglomerate will be a force moving forward, and it's something that certainly will be worth watching.
Let's be honest. On a commission of nine, the Power Five know it only takes five votes to move the courthouse to Collegedale or do just about anything else under the sun.
But as a wise man once told me, just because you have the power to move mountains doesn't mean you should.
