A Little About Councilman Tim Cowles  

Tim Cowles was elected in 2004 to represent the citizens of District 4. He works for the US Army SMDC as executing agent and deputy division chief for lethality. 

Tim, his wife Carleen and children have lived in Madison since 1989. His daughter, now away at college, is a graduate of the Madison City School system. His son graduated from Bob Jones High School in 2006. 

As a parent and beneficiary of the excellent Madison City School system school issues are of great importance to Tim. As a member of the Finance committee, he also focuses on the budget. Tim favors a lean budget and makes sure Madison’s citizens get the most for their money spent. He also works closely with the Madison Chamber of Commerce, as the City council liaison, in an effort to bring businesses to Madison which will add to the city’s cachet and reputation as a great place to live. Tim is on the Downtown Redevelopment Committee which is concerned with keeping Madison’s past alive in a vibrant and populous historic downtown area. 

Tim is an engineer and project manager at the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command. He is a former Army Officer, having gone through ROTC at Vanderbilt University where he got his BS degree. He received a MBA at Florida Institute of Technology in 1986.  

Growth is a pivotal issue in an expanding city and Madison’s growth has been phenomenal As a member of the Planning and Zoning Committee Tim works hard to keep growth an orderly and positive facet of Madison. As the City expands its infrastructure must expand as well. Keeping infrastructure growing at the same pace as Madison is quite a challenge but one that Tim is committed to meeting.  

Another area of long-time interest is Madison’s Greenways. Tim has been active on the Greenways and Trails Committees long before he was elected to office. The amount of greenways, trails and bike paths a city has is an integral part of what makes that place a good one to live. Tim is committed to expanding Madison’s green spaces.
