1:551 minute, 55 secondsand you'll have three minutes to speak and um and then I'll I'll read the item.
2:012 minutes, 1 secondThis request by James West Morton for future laning plan amendment approval for about 7.02 02 acres at 65 and 85
2:082 minutes, 8 secondsRutley's Lane from RPO to CI in the UGB planning commission recommend staff comment that the request is unnecessary
2:152 minutes, 15 secondsfor the proposed use by a vote of 800 at the May 26 meeting this reference orders number 267441.
2:232 minutes, 23 secondsAll right, go ahead. Good evening. My name is Tanner Pucket.
2:272 minutes, 27 secondsUm I live at 720 Rocky Valley Road here in Lebanon, Tennessee. We're the applicants filing on behalf of Mr. James for this property because we're looking to purchase it for our store.
2:372 minutes, 37 secondsUp here and say that we worked with um city planning on this project and come to find out our specific use for
2:452 minutes, 45 secondsthis property is not a problem. Um based off what we've heard from um city planning members and the county, the the
2:542 minutes, 54 secondsproblem with it is the unrestricted commercial uh that this land use amendment would open the gates to. And so what we've agreed to do is accept
3:033 minutes, 3 secondssome restrictions on this property in order to restrict it down to something like our use or our use. Um that way it
3:113 minutes, 11 secondsprotects the neighboring property owners which we're all for. So that process is to do a put overlay with the C2 reszone
3:183 minutes, 18 secondsin the county and that will be coming back to city planning here in the next month or two and that's when those legal restrictions will be put into place.
3:273 minutes, 27 secondsNow, until that point, until it comes back to city planning, we are going to agree to written restrictions. Um, and so if there's anything that happens in
3:363 minutes, 36 secondsthe county or anything like that, we will be restricted in writing. Um, so that's kind of where we're at right now.
3:433 minutes, 43 secondsJust wanted to say we appreciate y'all's time, Miss Christie and Mr. Josh, for taking the time to help us through all this confusing stuff. Um, I know you guys have a lot going on. Thank you.

7:377 minutes, 37 secondsNo clapping, no booing, those types of things. So um with that being said, go ahead.
7:427 minutes, 42 secondsHi, my name is Gloria Lopez. I live at 501 Scarlet Oak, um which is the 55 and
7:497 minutes, 49 secondsolder new development, and I'm here on behalf of some other um residents. we
7:567 minutes, 56 secondsare getting our water bills and they're really high because the irrigation that we did is not on a separate meter and so
8:058 minutes, 5 secondsum for example my monthly bill that I received today was $329.80.
8:128 minutes, 12 secondsSo, because a lot of us are on a fixed budget, um I was told that y'all had this two years ago or removed it two
8:208 minutes, 20 secondsyears ago that you used to estimate like throughout the month and it was a uh it was a certain amount. Um, for example,
8:288 minutes, 28 secondsum, MTE does it and I pay $48 a month and then, um, so I know what I'm going
8:358 minutes, 35 secondsto be paying every month. And I was told that you guys did do that for the water and sewer bill. I don't know if that's
8:438 minutes, 43 secondstrue or not, but um, I just wanted to see or some of us wanted to see if that would be a possibility to bring that
8:508 minutes, 50 secondsback. There have been um a lot of three $500 bills and when I talked to the
8:578 minutes, 57 secondsBecca at the water place, I went there today and she said some one of the residents called because they had a
9:049 minutes, 4 seconds$1,000 bill. So, it's really tough for us that are on a fixed budget. So, I'm just hoping you guys would reconsider
9:139 minutes, 13 secondsand maybe just bill us, you know, average throughout the year.
9:199 minutes, 19 secondsThank you. Very well speak.
9:329 minutes, 32 secondsI live at 529 Scarlett Oak. I'm not really here about the thing, but I think that's something maybe to explore.
9:399 minutes, 39 secondsThere's probably some reason why you switched it the last time. Uh I just want to say two things. one. Um, I wanted just to appreciate, uh, express my appreciation for everybody that
9:489 minutes, 48 secondsworked really hard to put together the Fourth of July program. I know the weather didn't cooperate, but I know a lot of people worked really hard to practice music and to put floats together and all of that kind of stuff.
9:589 minutes, 58 secondsAnd I and the guys out on the side of the road putting up the banners and the flags. It all looked really nice and, you know, it it feels good to move
10:0710 minutes, 7 secondssomeplace here where that kind of stuff is celebrated. So, I really appreciate that. Sorry. You know, uh, so public works, whoever did that, I know there's
10:1410 minutes, 14 secondsa private company that or people that do that as well. So, appreciate that. Um, the other thing I noticed in reading the minutes from the last meeting, I
10:2210 minutes, 22 secondsappreciate the mayor's comments and some of the other people with respect to the county commission passing a resolution opposing uh the water treatment plant
10:3110 minutes, 31 secondspossibly being in the county. Um, why they do that those kind of things, I don't know if it's because it's an election year or what, but it just seems
10:3810 minutes, 38 secondsa little uh tonedeaf given the fact that all of us who live in Lebanon also vote in the Wilson County elections. Um, and
10:4610 minutes, 46 secondsalso um, as you pointed out, uh, the county uses the water sewer treatment
10:5310 minutes, 53 secondsfacility quite a bit here. And so for them to kind of take that position without anybody here um a little disappointing.
11:0211 minutes, 2 secondsSo I do appreciate those comments as well. Thank you. Anyone else?
11:1511 minutes, 15 secondsHi council. Thank you for letting me speak. Um so I've been watching our council meetings over the past several months. Just your name and address please. Adam Pratt 502 Avenue.
11:2411 minutes, 24 secondsThank you. And you know, I've I've worked in the state house and our state senate a lot. And I've seen a lot of dysfunction in government, but what I
11:3211 minutes, 32 secondsseen in our last meeting was over dysfunction. During the meeting, there was a concern raised by a city council member about $30,000 that has been spent
11:4111 minutes, 41 secondson office supplies for the Mitchell House.
11:4411 minutes, 44 secondsUm, give me a minute. These items that have been told that they are not period appropriate, they um are an eyesore on
11:5211 minutes, 52 secondsthe house. And if these reports are accurate, the people of Lebanon deserve answers. We deserve transparency, accountability, and through a thorough
12:0012 minutesinvestigation into how our taxpayer dollars are spent. What troubled me the most was not just the reported spending.
12:0612 minutes, 6 secondsIt was the response. Instead of welcoming questions and oversight, it appeared our city mayor and the county attorney decided to attack a council
12:1412 minutes, 14 secondsmember and saying it was not her place to micromanage the city.
12:1812 minutes, 18 secondsFrom I can tell you from my own experience, it does not take $30,000 to furnish an office. I have furnished
12:2512 minutes, 25 secondsmany. There does not take $30,000. Maybe 5,000. If that figure is accurate, then the taxpayers deserve a full amounting
12:3312 minutes, 33 secondsof every dollar spent. The people of Lebanon work hard for our money. Our families are struggling to put food on the table, pay rent, keep up with rising
12:4212 minutes, 42 secondscosts, and they expect their taxpayer dollars to be managed responsibly, not spent without meaningful oversight. And I live in war two and we have many many
12:5012 minutes, 50 secondsissues that feel ignored. We have we see infrastructure needs, neighborhood concerns, and community priorities that continue to go unressed. While questions
12:5912 minutes, 59 secondsremain about major spending decisions, let me be very clear. The city council is not here to simply approve whatever
13:0613 minutes, 6 secondsthe mayor wants. It is your responsibility to oversee the city's finances, protect our dollars, and that
13:1413 minutes, 14 secondsis exactly why the people elected you is to hold people like Mayor Bill accountable. No mayor, regardless of who occupies that office, should operate without scrutiny or accountability.
13:2413 minutes, 24 secondsChecks and balances exist for a reason.
13:2713 minutes, 27 secondsWe urge the council to take its authority, demand transparency, and re remember that your first obligation is
13:3513 minutes, 35 secondsnot to fear Bill, but it is to the people of Lebanon, and it's definitely not to the city administration. Thank you.
13:4313 minutes, 43 secondsThank you. Anyone else?
13:5113 minutes, 51 secondsI need to be passed out.
13:5713 minutes, 57 secondsHere you go. Uh, Adria Higgins, 105 Mall Court. I'm here because I've got a question.
14:0614 minutes, 6 secondsAs city officials, do you ever go back and listen to the city council meetings?
14:1214 minutes, 12 secondsIf not, let me suggest you go back and watch the June 16th, 2026 city council meeting.
14:2314 minutes, 23 secondsAnd I want you to self-reflect on what you hear.
14:2814 minutes, 28 secondsAs a citizen of Lebanon, I've lived here all my life. Actually went to high school with Mayor Bill and Chris Kraut.
14:3614 minutes, 36 secondsUm I was very disappointed to listen to the retaliation that was going back and forth.
14:4714 minutes, 47 secondsLet me be clear. Wilson County Commission. Yes, they passed a resolution, but they passed that resolution because
14:5614 minutes, 56 secondsthey were listening to their constituents.
14:5914 minutes, 59 secondsI ask you to think about this ordinance 267445 that you plan to vote on tonight.
15:0715 minutes, 7 secondsIs this something that you think your constituents want you to do? And that's to take funds away from the expo center.
15:1715 minutes, 17 secondsMayor Bale actually stated at the June 16th, 2026 city council meeting, "Ledon
15:2515 minutes, 25 secondsdoes more for Wilson County than Wilson County does for Lebanon." I did some Freedom of Information Act requests from Wilson County government.
15:3715 minutes, 37 secondsThis is what I have found out.
15:3915 minutes, 39 secondsYou do not pay $300,000 a year for the cost sharing of reappraisals to the property assessor's office.
15:5015 minutes, 50 secondsThat's $300,000 a year. That's not in your paperwork, but that's coming from the property assessor's office and I
15:5715 minutes, 57 secondswill get that information also.
16:0216 minutes, 2 secondsAnd and by the way, that was an agreement between Mayor Hudo and all of the city mayors, not just the city of Lebanon, is what I've been told. Um, you
16:1116 minutes, 11 secondsalso you also have the county paying you $50,000 a year now to the Lebanon airport every single year. That's in your paperwork.
16:2416 minutes, 24 secondsAlso, the county also pays $1,500 for Think Green, Think Clean. As a teacher
16:3116 minutes, 31 secondsfor 28 years, I participated in Think Green, Think Clean. I think it's great.
16:3516 minutes, 35 secondsI'm glad that the county is involved in that.
16:4016 minutes, 40 secondsAlso, the county also paid you impact fees for that jail that Mayor Bale called the prison. Well, actually, it
16:4816 minutes, 48 secondswas the courthouse that he called the prison. They paid you $454,753
16:5516 minutes, 55 secondsfor that courthouse. impact be county also serves city students who go to a county high school.
17:0317 minutes, 3 secondsYour time is up. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else like to speak?
17:1617 minutes, 16 secondsDerek Dawson 106 Chapman Drive. The city will never be as fun again on Saturday night because folks won't be able to
17:2517 minutes, 25 secondsfeel the breeze between their knees in the city of trees down the road from Liquid City.
17:3317 minutes, 33 secondsI was a long-term listener back to the 80s.
17:3817 minutes, 38 secondsalso simultaneously listened on Saturday night to the oprey
17:4517 minutes, 45 secondsJune 16 city council meeting minutes page three. Well done
17:5317 minutes, 53 secondspresentation Mayor Bale regarding city sewer serving county buildings. I
18:0118 minutes, 1 secondrealize that councelor Carmarmac is not here tonight. Um,
18:0918 minutes, 9 secondscouncilors Carmarmac and Brian's Nightmare City Council meeting has
18:1718 minutes, 17 secondsarrived. And here's why that is. I'm blowing them kisses.
18:2418 minutes, 24 secondsThe reason why is tonight they are trying to demonstrate how to fix a city
18:3218 minutes, 32 secondsmisstep which was annually giving $100,000 to the expo center for 20 years. In the
18:4118 minutes, 41 secondsfuture, that $100,000 could be used to fix my issue with the current
18:5018 minutes, 50 secondscity budget, which I'll address at another time.
18:5518 minutes, 55 secondsObviously, no public officials in the history of the United States have ever
19:0119 minutes, 1 seconddealt with the hairball as y'all are in the site selection of a
19:1019 minutes, 10 secondspublic utility project, which is a sewer plant site.
19:1819 minutes, 18 secondsthe two-page document I'm having handed to y'all. Few folks ever consumed documents so interesting and I barely scratched the surface.
19:3319 minutes, 33 secondsThank you. Anyone else? I take Joy's too if you want to.
19:4119 minutes, 41 secondsCharles Smith, Leon. Um, okay.
19:4519 minutes, 45 secondsI have a hard time understanding why we like to turn straight lines into zigzag puzzles, uh, such as taking what was
19:5319 minutes, 53 secondsHartsville Pike and that ran all the way down to Leland Lane. I get by part of it had to be cut off by the expansion of the new Hartsville Pike. But why on
20:0120 minutes, 1 secondGod's a green earth? We stuck a rock and and a couple of oversized saw horses in the middle of the road for no reason. It's beyond me.
20:1020 minutes, 10 secondsUm I don't understand what the deal is with withholding money from the expos. It seems kind of silly. I mean, the city
20:1920 minutes, 19 secondsprobably makes a couple million out of the revenue from that. I don't know. I don't math much. Um,
20:2620 minutes, 26 secondsI I don't want to see a a county city battle, you know, seeing who can be the most stupid. Don't do that. Um,
20:3720 minutes, 37 secondsa big problem I see a lot all over the city is it looks like the city has turned into Bradley Parkway. It's one unfinished project after the another
20:4520 minutes, 45 secondsafter the other. My my road, Leon Lane, was supposed to be finished over a year ago, and it's stupid that it hadn't been done. Meanwhile, I'm driving over golf
20:5320 minutes, 53 secondsdivots all up and down the road. It's dumb. It causes wear and tear on my suspension, wear and tear on my tires, wear and tear on my back. I got a bad
21:0121 minutes, 1 secondback. Quit it. Um, finish stuff up. It's not that hard. Start it. Finish it. If you don't have the materials on hand to finish up the job, don't start the job.
21:0921 minutes, 9 secondsThe science is really tough, right? Can we get that? Um, yeah, that's about it. Guys, you're
21:1621 minutes, 16 secondssupposed to be stewards of the city. Do better. Thank you. Anyone else?
21:2621 minutes, 26 secondsOkay, seeing none, we'll move on to my comments. Um I do have several things tonight. Uh the first one is um as you
21:3421 minutes, 34 secondsguys know, councelor Carmarmac is not here tonight. He want me to let one know that he's returning from vacation today and so and that's something he told us a couple months ago.
21:4421 minutes, 44 secondsAlso tonight I'm announcing that um u Jalissa Tubs uh is being added to the board of the Lebanon Housing Authority.
21:5321 minutes, 53 secondsUh she comes at the recommendation of Patrick Johnson. Um and uh so I appreciate I appreciate her willing to
22:0122 minutes, 1 secondserve on this committee. It's a very important committee and um and taking part in process of of uh looking after
22:0922 minutes, 9 secondsthe housing authority. Um, also, uh, there is a, um, a project out on Highway 109 that is going to begin next week.
22:1822 minutes, 18 secondsUh, T DOT is going to do some some work out there around the I40 interchange.

22:3822 minutes, 38 secondsof July. I do want to thank everyone um who worked um on um on the celebrations

22:5522 minutes, 55 secondsorganizations that were going to be involved, have floats. I know several of you on the council are going to be involved as well. So, um I appreciate
23:0323 minutes, 3 secondseveryone, all the city employees who worked on that, the city employees who are going to be involved. Um everyone, um out there, um you know, that was
23:1123 minutes, 11 secondssomething special with the 250th and um and so um I hate it didn't happen. Uh but it was u it was a call for the
23:2023 minutes, 20 secondsweather and it was it was, you know, it was uh it was disappointing. Uh but um because I know a lot of people looking forward to it, but uh but I do thank
23:2823 minutes, 28 secondseveryone who who worked on that. Uh we were able to have our our annual celebration at the fairgrounds uh this
23:3523 minutes, 35 secondsthis uh this weekend, Saturday night. Um we estimate that's the biggest crowd we've ever had. Um it was there was a

24:2724 minutes, 27 secondsthe 4th of July I think uh there were a couple water rain breaks across the city. And uh so our um guys in the
24:3524 minutes, 35 secondsutility department, street department, they were out there working to make sure that was fixed. And so you know that work never stops um you know to u to
24:4324 minutes, 43 secondsmake sure that things are working right, especially in the utilities area. And so I appreciate everyone who got there and did that on the holiday. Uh you know, we

28:4428 minutes, 44 secondsLeague. Through the Civic League, he petitioned the Lebanon City Council to redraw the voting district so a minority could be elected to the council. The
28:5128 minutes, 51 secondscity agreed. Fred was elected to the Leven city council in 1985 to fill that seat. He has also served on the Levip
28:5928 minutes, 59 secondsairport commission, the 911 board of Wilson County, vice president of Wilson County Civic League, and a member of the
29:0629 minutes, 6 secondsMount Zion Baptist Church. He is a member of the Judge Blues Music Foundation Lewis County Chamber of Commerce and was chosen mayor pro Tim
29:1429 minutes, 14 secondsthree times as counselor. Fred led the charge to upgrade the Bluebird Road and Charles Ferry Pike areas. He was instrumental in getting a million dollar
29:2229 minutes, 22 secondsgrant to run SURA and restore quality homes to those areas. So far, Council Burton has served five terms on the Lebanon city council.
29:3129 minutes, 31 secondsRight. Fantastic. Fred goes on the air at W&T. The format gets in the groove as Fred spans a mix of rhythm and blues,
29:3829 minutes, 38 secondssoul, disco, rock and roll, and hip-hop spanning several decades of music. He has a wide listening audience all over Middle Tennessee. Fred, a family man, is
29:4729 minutes, 47 secondsmarried to Billy Anne. They have one son, Fred Jr., who is a mechanical engineer at Nissan. Grandson, Neil, is currently stationed at the Air Force
29:5529 minutes, 55 secondsbase in Mississippi, where he's trained to be a fighter pilot.
29:5929 minutes, 59 secondsfor his personal achievements and inspiration to others. The city of Lebanon wishes to recognize Fred Anthony Burton as the legend of Lebanon, a title
30:0630 minutes, 6 secondsfor those exemplary individuals who make lasting contributions to our community.
30:1030 minutes, 10 secondsAnd Fred certainly made a lasting contribution to our community. So um as u as Lisa said in his prayer uh please
30:1930 minutes, 19 secondskeep the burn family in your in your prayers and uh as I go through this time and again his service will be will be
30:2630 minutes, 26 secondsSaturday at 4:00 and he will lie and stay here from 10 to 12 Saturday.
30:3230 minutes, 32 secondsCouncelor Ashley um I think first of all I would like to um extend my sympathy to Fred's family.
30:4230 minutes, 42 secondsUm, I mean, obviously, as mayor stated, Fred was a huge part of the city council and a huge part uh for WI.
30:5330 minutes, 53 secondsUm, I only knew Fred for a brief period of time, but he was always incredibly supportive to me. He invited me to his
31:0231 minutes, 2 secondshome. Uh, he called me at late hours and told me what I was doing wrong and what I was doing right. and and I um really
31:1231 minutes, 12 secondsappreciate his wisdom. I think he is a legend and um he is going to be greatly missed for
31:2031 minutes, 20 secondsall the things that he did for the city and particularly for War II. Um I have a couple of other things that I
31:2831 minutes, 28 secondswanted to see if I could get some updates about. Um, Stephen, I wanted to see if you could give us an update in
31:3531 minutes, 35 secondsterms of when we're going to get our ordinances up to date. Um, I've been
31:4331 minutes, 43 secondstrying to be independent and review some of our ordinances and I actually got some of them through a foyer request and
31:5331 minutes, 53 secondsI'm incredibly frustrated with the records that we have that they're not even legible. They look like they came
31:5931 minutes, 59 secondsoff a 1962 microfish. So, uh, and I don't know if you want to look at these or not, but I mean, I've put a magnifying glass on them. They're
32:0732 minutes, 7 secondsblurred. You can't read them. I know that we've hired a vendor. Um, it seems like when you're trying to look at an
32:1532 minutes, 15 secondsordinance that some of the old ordinances have not been removed. Um, um, they're stacked on top of each
32:2332 minutes, 23 secondsother. Um, so I hope that we can get these updated. Do you know any information about when our ordinances are going to be updated?
32:3232 minutes, 32 secondsI believe you passed a an ordinance to kind of recodify that and Beth is currently working with an online provider called Municode to get that
32:4032 minutes, 40 secondsformatted and I think it should go live sometime between two weeks to the next month, I think.
32:4832 minutes, 48 secondsDo you uh would they take out all the old ordinances as well? It should be updated to everything that's been passed
32:5532 minutes, 55 secondsthrough. Um, it'll be current and it'll be easier much easier to update as we go forward on the online portal than it was in the past.
33:0533 minutes, 5 secondsDo you will it still be like I didn't even know OnBase existed? So, would it still be Onbase? I mean, is there a way
33:1333 minutes, 13 secondsfor the public to access our ordinances as well?
33:1633 minutes, 16 secondsYes. It's not through OnBase. It's through another company. Okay. And it's called Media Code. It's used all across the United States. It's actually very
33:2433 minutes, 24 secondseasy to use and very easy to access. You can actually when you go through it, it has different formats that you can download specific parts of the code if
33:3133 minutes, 31 secondsyou wanted to or you can download the entire code. And like I said, as we go forward and you pass ordinance here, changing the code, it'll be much much
33:3933 minutes, 39 secondseasier to update online with the MUN code than it has been in the past. So, it should be much easier to uh keep it
33:4633 minutes, 46 secondsand it'll be very legible and it'll be very good. But do you know what I'm talking about? Would you know what I'm talking about?
33:5233 minutes, 52 secondsI don't know that specific thing. So, I'd have to look at it.
33:5433 minutes, 54 secondsYeah. I just want you to look at it because I don't even know how somebody could update that. It looks like it came off a microfish.
34:0634 minutes, 6 secondsAnd again, we don't have to discuss it, but it's concerning that it's not legible. And I don't even know how you could reproduce it based on the form that it's had.
34:1734 minutes, 17 secondsThat came out of OnBase, Stephen. Pardon?
34:2134 minutes, 21 secondsUh Lindsay was just saying this came off of OnBase. Yes.
34:2434 minutes, 24 secondsThat'll be a different like the the ordinances I'm talking about. That's your m your municipal code. That's what's going to be on MUN code. So
34:3334 minutes, 33 secondsthat's different than what's on on base that these I believe and Lindsay can correct me if I'm wrong. there's a com some kind of system we have to scan this in and it formats it and puts it online.
34:4434 minutes, 44 secondsUh I'm not too familiar with the specifics of that. So maybe Lindsay if we can get some more information on for you on that.
34:5134 minutes, 51 secondsOkay. Uh but and that's good to know.
34:5334 minutes, 53 secondsIt's in a couple of weeks that we probably have those updated. I'll take those back if you don't mind. Um I also uh So go ahead.
35:0335 minutes, 3 secondsYes. to say I'm very much looking forward to let's getting the MUN code on that website because you know as an attorney I have other attorneys that
35:1135 minutes, 11 secondslook for it and it's going to be much easier to find and also any member of the public it'll be very easy to find it'll pop up well in Google searches so
35:1835 minutes, 18 secondsthat should make it much more transparent going forward.
35:2135 minutes, 21 secondsOkay. I hope so. Um Kristen, I wanted to ask you as well. I heard a really bad rumor that something has happened with our sidewalk project.
35:3135 minutes, 31 secondsIs that right? Is there some issue with federal funding on sidewalk projects?
35:3635 minutes, 36 secondsWe just have to rebid it. So, it'll come back to you. So, it's still moving forward. We just probably lost three weeks or so. So, um it's part of it.
35:4435 minutes, 44 secondsSometimes that happens when you have state or federal funds. There was a change in the federal something in the bid book that needed to be updated. Okay.
35:5135 minutes, 51 secondsBecause we have federal funds and T dot didn't accept our bids and they asked us to rebid it. So, it's still moving forward. is currently out to bid, but
35:5935 minutes, 59 secondsand you'll have it back um before you in a couple weeks, couple meetings. It's still moving forward.
36:0536 minutes, 5 secondsThe market street and Yes, ma'am. Forward. It just is a bit delayed.
36:1036 minutes, 10 secondsGotcha. Okay. Um I think that's it. I mean, I just had
36:1836 minutes, 18 secondsone other comment that, you know, I did appreciate Aiden's comments. Um I I still am not fully recovered from being
36:2636 minutes, 26 secondstold that um after a budget is proved that I don't have the ability to question expenditures and and that just
36:3336 minutes, 33 secondsgoes against my common sense. Um I do want to point out that in our charter
36:4136 minutes, 41 secondsuh there is in our charter an obligation of the finance department providing us with monthly financial information.
36:5036 minutes, 50 secondsThere's also an obligation of the mayor prom to provide to review all the expenditures on a 30-day basis. So, I
36:5836 minutes, 58 secondswould like for us to revisit this mayor if we could look at our charter and make sure we're upholding the obligation of our charter in terms of reviewing the
37:0737 minutes, 7 secondsexpenditures because I believe Aiden is absolutely correct that we do need to know what is going out the door and we
37:1537 minutes, 15 secondswe should have a right to scrutinize those expenses. Okay. Thank you, Counc.
37:2437 minutes, 24 secondsUm, I would like to thank everybody from the city and everybody um in general who did try to participate in the uh 250th
37:3337 minutes, 33 secondsanniversary. Um it was fun and we appreciate all the hard work of our employees um and staff for for helping with that.
37:4437 minutes, 44 secondsUm uh my condolences go out to the Burton family as well. Um it was a complete
37:5137 minutes, 51 secondshonor to be able to sit beside Fred uh for the last um six years. Um he was a good man. He was a mentor as well to me.
38:0238 minutes, 2 secondsUm and um he was a good time and I am the city is losing a legend for sure and
38:1038 minutes, 10 secondsum I will be here Saturday to pay my respects and and very much to the family. He will be missed. Um especially
38:1938 minutes, 19 secondson Saturday nights. Um uh Miss Brian, it's so good to see you here. We've missed seeing you and of course we've
38:2738 minutes, 27 secondsmissed seeing Mr. Brian a lot too. So, thank you for taking the time to be here tonight. Um,
38:3538 minutes, 35 secondslet's see. Uh, uh, Mayor, I I sent an email, uh, on
38:4338 minutes, 43 secondsJune the 19th, I believe, and I have not received a response regarding East Main
38:5038 minutes, 50 secondsLights in phase in phase one. In my email, it stated that I was disappointed to learn that another event was being
38:5838 minutes, 58 secondsheld in my ward without any prior discussion or communication with me. I am also unclear on the purpose of a
39:0539 minutes, 5 secondslighting ceremony for what appears to be a relatively relatively small segment of roadway described as phase one. This
39:1439 minutes, 14 secondsraises several questions. How many phases are planned? This is the first I've heard of it.
39:2439 minutes, 24 secondsWell, Council Berdine, uh, when the light project was presented, um, originally to city council, um, you and
39:3439 minutes, 34 secondsCouncil Ashley as well, um, were concerned about, um, lights going up College Street and and further up East
39:4139 minutes, 41 secondsMain Street. Um, we understood those concerns. We met uh,
39:4839 minutes, 48 secondsin December. we met about that and uh we were all there. Lee was there. I think Kristen was there too. I can't remember if she was there or not to talk about
39:5639 minutes, 56 secondsthose those that part of it. So um when
40:0340 minutes, 3 secondswe talked about that I consider that phase two. There's phase one, there's phase two. So um
40:1240 minutes, 12 secondswas there more than one phase besides two and three? because we've got other parts of the square.
40:1940 minutes, 19 secondsWell, I will say this. When when Lee and I discussed lights on East Main Street, uh one of the things that we talk did talk about was that eventually
40:2840 minutes, 28 secondsum at some point in the future, there'd probably be lights on the other other three spokes going out from from the square.
40:3740 minutes, 37 secondsBut in this instance, I was specifically talking about what you and councelor Ashley and I discussed with Lee and on
40:4540 minutes, 45 secondson the street that day. So I I believe phase two is what we discussed. Okay.
40:4940 minutes, 49 secondsNow, if there are future phases, they have not been discussed. Uh it's just what we've talked about.
40:5540 minutes, 55 secondsOkay. And what's the timeline for this phase one and phase two? Because we were told spring. So Lee, do you have an update on that?
41:0241 minutes, 2 secondsYes, I have actually two lights on order, but we we bought the Ballard lights hoping that they would be a
41:1141 minutes, 11 secondssufficient for it, and when we put them up, they weren't. Then I found a separate company that we order were going to order from.
41:1941 minutes, 19 secondsThey were about three times the cost of anything else I could find. So, I kept looking and I have now found some that
41:2741 minutes, 27 secondswill fit on the existing poles just like the ones that are around the square and they're supposed to be here
41:3541 minutes, 35 secondssometime the end of July for us to put those up and assess those to see if they will I'm hoping that they will work for us.
41:4541 minutes, 45 secondsAnd where will they be put up?
41:4741 minutes, 47 secondsSomewhere on College Street. Sort of. We put the others over what is that where Smith's Catering somewhere right in that area. so that we could tell in that area what they how they performed.
41:5841 minutes, 58 secondsWe were never told that you put some up to try. I think he may have told me.
42:0442 minutes, 4 secondsI I thought the ballard lights that we had, they may still be there. We I don't know if we've taken them down or not. We had the small ones, but they just didn't put out quite enough light.
42:1442 minutes, 14 secondsRedoing a sidewalk, too. So, we are we coordinating with the sidewalk?
42:1942 minutes, 19 secondsYes. Well, the these that I'm trying to find are a solar light so that we will not have to lay all the conduit and the
42:2642 minutes, 26 secondsuh wire underneath all the sidewalk because once you do going up uh east main. So, we're going to try to these
42:3442 minutes, 34 secondssolar lights and hopefully they will work for us.
42:3642 minutes, 36 secondsOkay. And then are we going to use the the string lights as well? What did we decide on that?
42:4342 minutes, 43 secondsUh no, we were not going to go with the string lights. We had decided that we would stop one block off the square in each direction with the string lights
42:5242 minutes, 52 secondsand just do hopefully lighting that would be similar to the square on out but stopped with the string lights one block off.
43:0143 minutes, 1 secondOkay. Thank you. Um so by August we should have those lights up.
43:0843 minutes, 8 secondsYes. As soon as they get here, we've got a couple of temporary polls to put them up, like I said, to see how so what the consensus is on how they perform.
43:1743 minutes, 17 secondsAll right. Um and then, um you know, mayor, are when is the park going to be
43:2443 minutes, 24 secondsfinished? Are we planning on having a celebration for that? Are we going to start holding separate um events and
43:3143 minutes, 31 secondsceremonies for each? It seems, like I said in my email, that it seems to be more practical given the cost um demands
43:4043 minutes, 40 secondsof our city resources that we, you know, combine some of these events.
43:4543 minutes, 45 secondsCouncil Berdine, the the event on East Maine did not cost much. Um it was it was an event. As I said in my
43:5343 minutes, 53 secondsemail to you guys, I do apologize for late notice. Uh we did coordinate this with the Chamber of Commerce and the businesses on that block. uh the
44:0144 minutes, 1 secondbusiness participated um really um appreciated uh the event. Um
44:0844 minutes, 8 secondsyou know part part of the event I paid for myself. So um I I don't think a ribbon cutting or an event like that
44:1544 minutes, 15 secondsreally really cost us cost us all that much. U obviously you can you can see the park itself uh is close to being
44:2344 minutes, 23 secondsfinished. There will be ribbon cutting for that. There will also be a ribbon cutting for the splash pad and we'll probably have more ribbon cutings and and celebrations going into the future.
44:3144 minutes, 31 secondsUm, but you don't know when.
44:3444 minutes, 34 secondsSo, we're working the splash pad. No, I don't know when that's going to be the park that's in my ward.
44:4044 minutes, 40 secondsThe park in your ward. I would like to have on July 17th here. So, I'd appreciate it if you'll reschedu that. Okay.
44:4844 minutes, 48 secondsBecause that's not much notice.
44:5144 minutes, 51 secondsUm also um um it does cost resources. It causes our
45:0145 minutes, 1 secondum um police um time and overtime to do that and I I
45:0945 minutes, 9 secondsjust think it should be worked out together that we do one, you know, event. Um
45:1545 minutes, 15 secondswell, Council Burn, I disagree. Uh which we do that.
45:1945 minutes, 19 secondsIt's my ward. I understand it's your word. Um, but just like you talked about the the Fourth of July event, the the pray it didn't happen.
45:2645 minutes, 26 secondsYou know, these are events that people enjoy and that's something that we do uh for our citizens for people to get out, be able to get out, appreciate our city,
45:3445 minutes, 34 secondsenjoy our city. It was a night that I said the businesses really appreciated.
45:3945 minutes, 39 secondsUh, people enjoyed it. Uh, people will enjoy the event on the square. Uh, they'll enjoy en enjoy the splash pad.
45:4545 minutes, 45 secondsThat's part of what we do as well. And um we're going to continue having events.
45:5045 minutes, 50 secondsWell, and the Main Street um program weren't given much notice either. Neither were the merchants association.
45:5745 minutes, 57 secondsSo, I think it'd be important that we collaborate with these um groups that especially on the square.
46:0446 minutes, 4 secondsWell, I'm I'm glad to know that because every indication I got from them was they they enjoyed it. They thought it was a great night. They appreciate it.
46:1046 minutes, 10 secondsSo, thank you for letting me know that there was a different opinion about that. Well, they didn't get much notice.
46:1646 minutes, 16 secondswas the different opinion. Not that they didn't enjoy it. They didn't get any notice. Um
46:2546 minutes, 25 secondsum you mentioned something Jerry about the ordinances and those. So is the financial ordinances different than what
46:3446 minutes, 34 secondsour codes will be Stephen on a different system? I mean wouldn't our everything be together any kind of resolution or
46:4346 minutes, 43 secondsordinance we've made? Well, that's a little bit different. Your municipal code, that's the laws you've passed. So, that's different than the resolutions or
46:5246 minutes, 52 secondsbudget ordinances, all that kind of stuff. The OnBase is a recordkeeping system where you scan in the documents
46:5846 minutes, 58 secondsthat's that's um that's generated. And so, it's like a public access portal for people to do their own kind of public
47:0647 minutes, 6 secondsrecord searches. The MUN code is just us posting here's our municipal code regarding, you know, here's our property
47:1347 minutes, 13 secondsmaintenance provisions, here's our traffic provisions, here's um here's how the boards and commissions that are organized under title two, I believe.
47:2147 minutes, 21 secondsHere's how that is. So, that's basically your law. So, it'd be like your uh be equivalent to the Tennessee code annotated that you can see online. It'd
47:3047 minutes, 30 secondsbe just like that. This is your your laws that you that you uh you enforce.
47:3647 minutes, 36 secondsAnd so that's a little bit different than your recordkeeping system which is what onbase is.
47:4147 minutes, 41 secondsOkay. Well, I thought mayor had asked um y'all's department to have that done by the end of last year, but I thought it
47:4847 minutes, 48 secondswas all the ordinances that we can pull up.
47:5247 minutes, 52 secondsIt well in this scenario ordinances it just basically means ordinances passed for your municipal code. Those are also
48:0048 minutesreferred to as ordinances. It's actually it's entitled your code of ordinances is what it is. And again, it's a little bit different than an ordinance that you
48:0848 minutes, 8 secondspass here. Say if you pass an ordinance that says, "We're going to amend title 13 to add this section to your property maintenance code." And then it has a
48:1748 minutes, 17 secondssection in there. It says, "Section one, we adopt this." That language in section one is actually what goes into the municipal code. Whereas the ordinance
48:2548 minutes, 25 secondsdocument itself that has the preamble and all this stuff, that would be scanned in onto base. So you can see that record.
48:3848 minutes, 38 secondsOkay, you've lost me.
48:4248 minutes, 42 secondsSo it won't be as easy to read on on base as it will with this other group.
48:4848 minutes, 48 secondsUh I would have to see exactly how you're accessing it when I'm when I go on there and doing printing. I'll download it as a PDF and that allows me
48:5648 minutes, 56 secondsto look at it a little bit better. So, I don't know exactly what steps you use. I can't say it's going to be better, it's going to be worse until I know exactly what you did.
49:0649 minutes, 6 secondsSo, all of them are going to be updated.
49:0849 minutes, 8 secondsIs that right, Mayor? What What was your goal? I thought it was to get everything updated.
49:1449 minutes, 14 secondsYeah, my goal was to uh to update the ordinances and um and you're right to to update everything. So, um you know, we did hire that what was the name of the company?
49:2649 minutes, 26 secondsMun Code. Yeah. Community code to to update everything. So, um, Stephen and I will dig into it to see exactly what that means, but that's that was the ultimate goal.
49:3549 minutes, 35 secondsOkay. And that was when I passed like three years ago.
49:4049 minutes, 40 secondsUh, no. I believe you passed one on second reading at the end of last month to recotify.
49:4749 minutes, 47 secondsYeah, but there was there was something we we we passed ordinance to hire community code to Yeah.
49:5349 minutes, 53 secondsOkay. I I don't know exactly when the date with that was. I just know as far as recodifying and doing what Mayor Bell had talked about, I think that passed a
50:0250 minutes, 2 secondscouple weeks ago and so that's what we're posting on Munich code to completely update all the or code of ordinances for the municipal code.
50:1050 minutes, 10 secondsOkay, that's it. Thank you, Councelor Cra.
50:1750 minutes, 17 secondsThank you for uh uh for you and the city for all of the work that went in on the fourth celebration. Um we were all lined
50:2650 minutes, 26 secondsup on Friday and there were some great floats actually u some public officials and uh one person said they had been
50:3650 minutes, 36 secondsworking on something for a while and and uh was a lot of promise there.
50:4150 minutes, 41 secondsUnfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us, but uh I thought that the spirit uh in the community was outstanding. Honestly, there were a lot
50:4950 minutes, 49 secondsof people that had lined up up and down the street and uh people that really wanted to participate and I think a lot of those people came out on Saturday,
50:5750 minutes, 57 secondshonestly. Um that that they were determined to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country and u you know
51:0651 minutes, 6 secondshopefully we've we've still got the best country on earth. um the people that are here and online. Um you know, we're not always going to agree on everything that
51:1451 minutes, 14 secondsthat comes up before us. Uh but I still think that we find a way to come together uh and and to make our government work. And I honestly I think
51:2351 minutes, 23 secondsmost government most really good government happens on the local level.
51:2851 minutes, 28 secondsAnd I think one of the reasons for that is because, you know, we can't run away from each other.
51:3451 minutes, 34 secondsYou know, if I'm in Washington, I might not be a have to face any of you folks out here. But, you know, when I'm in Lebanon, Tennessee, I'm probably going
51:4151 minutes, 41 secondsto run into you at Kroger or Walmart or the ball field or waiting for the fireworks to start or whatever. And and
51:4951 minutes, 49 secondsso, you know, when we have we have uh differences of opinion, we have to work them out some way or another, but hopefully there are lots of good things
51:5651 minutes, 56 secondsthat we can agree on. And I think having that celebration Saturday night was uh was terrific.
52:0352 minutes, 3 secondsI wanted to touch on the uh the the East Main Lights just for a second. It's it's not in my ward, but because it was in
52:1052 minutes, 10 secondsour city, I did attend that night. Um and you know, there have been events that have held in my ward that I couldn't attend because I was out of
52:1752 minutes, 17 secondstown or on vacation or whatever and we all have life and we have to to live life to the fullest. U but that particular night, I thought there's a
52:2652 minutes, 26 secondsreal good turnout, positive PR. The businesses that I went in, they were all excited about it. Um, and it's good to see our city moving forward on on on
52:3452 minutes, 34 secondsmany different levels. Uh, so I just appreciate everyone including the city workers uh who provided security for us
52:4252 minutes, 42 secondsthat night. Uh who provided u uh guidance, manh hours, elbow grease, Lee, all of your crew that got out there and worked. It means a lot to our community.
52:5252 minutes, 52 secondsSo appreciate what was done there. And and um also recognize Miss Brian. I was I told Tick I was thinking about Mr.
52:5952 minutes, 59 secondsBrian over the weekend. and he used to bring us little peanut butter and crackers uh before the water before the meeting. And you know, he's the kind of
53:0753 minutes, 7 secondsperson who's been involved in our community for a long long time, long time.
53:1153 minutes, 11 secondsAnd he's he's been in seats of decision making like this and he's been in the audience. And frankly, that's important.
53:1953 minutes, 19 secondsIt's important for people to continue to be involved uh when they get involved in in early years that they stay involved because they can provide a lot of guidance and wisdom uh as we go along.
53:2953 minutes, 29 secondsSo, um, best wishes to to both of you in that. And also, welcome Commissioner
53:3553 minutes, 35 secondsJerry, uh, Jeremy Ridge out there, uh, on our county commission. He and I serve a lot of the same constituents and, uh,
53:4353 minutes, 43 secondswe've been friends for a long time and appreciate his service there. Um, and I hope that we can continue to to figure
53:5053 minutes, 50 secondsout ways to to make our city and county government work together well. Also, thank you, mayor. Thank you, Councelor Brown.
53:5953 minutes, 59 secondsYeah, thank you, mayor. Uh, first of all, what was the time of uh the Lion State here? 10 to 12, maybe.
54:0754 minutes, 7 seconds10 to 12. 12.
54:0954 minutes, 9 seconds10 to 12. Okay. I need to make a note of that.
54:1354 minutes, 13 secondsYeah. And I know there was a lot of people disappointed in the um uh Fourth of July parade. We at Blue Devil
54:2054 minutes, 20 secondsBroadcasting were prepared to uh for the very first time video, you know, we always video the Christmas parade and
54:2754 minutes, 27 secondslive stream that on Facebook Live and we were all set up ready to go and we're about ready to do our first test run
54:3554 minutes, 35 secondswhen we got the call. You know, it was cancelled, but it was for the better because, you know, we set through a lot of lightning out there. I don't know.
54:4354 minutes, 43 secondsI'm sure you could see that uh from city hall, but it it was getting kind of dangerous. So, it's better safe than
54:5154 minutes, 51 secondssorry, and I hate it. Maybe maybe next year, you know, we can do that. We would look forward to uh videoing that, live streaming the Fourth of July parade.
55:0255 minutes, 2 secondsAnd um I want to say a few things about the um
55:1055 minutes, 10 secondsordinance about the uh donations to the expo center. I'm thinking
55:1855 minutes, 18 secondsI probably am the only one here when that went into effect originally 10 years ago.
55:2855 minutes, 28 secondsDoes anybody else remember that other than me? uh maybe Lee, but um Mayor Craighead when they were starting up the
55:3655 minutes, 36 secondsexpo center, you know, we waved gas, water, and sewer fees to help them. And Mayor Craighead, at the time I was
55:4555 minutes, 45 secondsserving on the city council. We all agreed that it would be good to donate
55:5255 minutes, 52 seconds$100,000 a year to help to to one two to help them kick kickstart
56:0156 minutes, 1 secondthe uh expo center cuz even the uh county commission, you know, it was a big risk, you know, uh building that
56:1056 minutes, 10 secondsthing and we wanted to help them out and help them get started and Uh we agreed
56:1856 minutes, 18 secondsand the original agreement stated that we would donate and it's a donation, you know, it's not we're not obligated to do
56:2756 minutes, 27 secondsit. It was a donation up to $100,000 a year up to 20 years.
56:3856 minutes, 38 secondsNow what that up to means, we could cancel it at any time. We could have cancelled it five years ago.
56:4856 minutes, 48 secondsWe could cancel it, you know, two years ago. We could have cancelled it 3 years
56:5556 minutes, 55 secondsafter we voted it in. So, we weren't legally bound to continue donating it because it was up to 20 years.
57:1057 minutes, 10 secondsI originally asked about this.
57:1457 minutes, 14 secondsIt was over two years ago or I asked our um former
57:2357 minutes, 23 secondspublic works director Jeff Baines. I talked to him.
57:2857 minutes, 28 secondsI talked to uh our finance director, former finance director
57:3457 minutes, 34 secondsand uh Stuart Lawson. and I spoke with the mayor and this was a couple of years ago.
57:4257 minutes, 42 secondsSo, I've been wanting this to happen. I haven't I think talked to Phil about it and most people on the council as
57:5057 minutes, 50 secondsrecently as a year or so ago about doing it and um the reason behind it is because
57:5857 minutes, 58 secondsthe expo center has been doing so well from everything that I have read and
58:0758 minutes, 7 secondsheard on the radio about how well the expo center is doing.
58:1458 minutes, 14 secondsUh they're constantly booked, have all kinds of events in there, and I don't think $100,000 a year is
58:2258 minutes, 22 secondsgoing to make or break the expo center because it is a donation.
58:2958 minutes, 29 secondsIt's a donation. You know, we have donation uh in our budget if you uh will think it
58:3758 minutes, 37 secondsput it that way. Uh, we decide who we want to donate to nonprofits and things
58:4358 minutes, 43 secondsall the time. Some people get the donation, some don't. I just believe that we can use $100,000. You know,
58:5258 minutes, 52 secondseverybody's always talking about saving the taxpayers money. Well, this will save the city a million dollar over a 10-year period.
59:0359 minutes, 3 secondsSo, I would like to defer this tonight and because I would like all the city
59:1159 minutes, 11 secondscouncil people to be here when we vote on this. And if it would please the council, I would like to defer this until our next meeting cuz I would like,
59:2059 minutes, 20 secondslike I say, everybody to be here when we do it. But uh that's really the history
59:2659 minutes, 26 secondsof how all this started and we did it uh wanting to help the expo center be successful and they are uh wildly successful now.
59:3859 minutes, 38 secondsSo uh I appreciate it if y'all would go with that with me tonight. Uh we'll uh visit it in two weeks. Would that be okay?
59:4959 minutes, 49 secondsYou can make the motion when the time comes. Okay. That's all I have. Thank you, Council Morhead.
59:5559 minutes, 55 secondsI wanted to touch on that as well. I didn't know what uh Councilman Brian was going to say, but uh I do know when it started, it was intended to be a
1:00:031 hour, 3 secondskickstart to get them going. And and as he said, the the it is not the Wilson County Fairground anymore. Not only is
1:00:101 hour, 10 secondsit just our community fairground, it's also where we hold the state fair. The state is, you know, built the uh Maiden Tennessee building. They've done road
1:00:191 hour, 19 secondsimprovements for us. So, as a counselor for the city of Lebanon, do I think that $100,000 is probably doing some good out
1:00:281 hour, 28 secondsthere? Absolutely it is. But would that $100,000 benefit more directly to citizens of Lebanon, whether it be seniors, whether it be children, or
1:00:371 hour, 37 secondswhether it be, god forbid, we just don't spend the money and save the taxpayers some money. So, uh I do think that it
1:00:451 hour, 45 secondswould be the right thing uh to to resend that u ordinance that we did back at that time only because I don't think
1:00:531 hour, 53 secondsthat money is needed at that time and I think it's a better use of dollars uh for the citizens of the city of Lebanon at this time. And I know the city and
1:01:011 hour, 1 minute, 1 secondthe county do get along great. This is not a vendetta. The the our fire department, police department are out there at the state fair. I know what what the city gets reimbured for that.
1:01:101 hour, 1 minute, 10 secondsnowhere covers the cost to have our folks out there. I know the city has waved in excess of $130 in fees for
1:01:181 hour, 1 minute, 18 secondsdifferent things the county uh has built throughout the city that we have we've waved their fees and I assume we would continue to do that. So I think we do have a good work working relationship.
1:01:281 hour, 1 minute, 28 secondsThis is not a tit fortat item. It's really just trying to look out for the taxpayer dollars of the city of Lebanon. Thank you.
1:01:361 hour, 1 minute, 36 secondsThank you. We have a consent agenda with five items on I'll read each one of those. Or number 267434, second reading to authorize budget amendment for the wastewater treatment

1:03:281 hour, 3 minutes, 28 secondsspace to C ice interchange commercial in the urban growth boundary and ward one request by James Worm.
1:03:341 hour, 3 minutes, 34 secondsI'm going to make a motion to defer this item.
1:03:391 hour, 3 minutes, 39 secondsSecond a motion councelor Krauss, second by councelor Morhead. discussion and could we call Josh up to the the podium to because with the comments that
1:03:481 hour, 3 minutes, 48 secondswere made before it sounds like something is going to be done in the county and I'm not sure not really sure what action I know it was denied by the planning commission
1:03:561 hour, 3 minutes, 56 secondswhich I'm on but I'm not trying to hurt the applicant but I'm a little unsure of what based on his comments what our next step is.
1:04:041 hour, 4 minutes, 4 secondsSure. So this what's in front of you is just the future land use amendment. The county resonings do not come to city council that goes to the county commission. The only role city council has is with the future land use plan.
1:04:141 hour, 4 minutes, 14 secondsWhat they're trying to do is consistent with the existing designation of rural preservation open space, which is why we recommended denial because it's not
1:04:221 hour, 4 minutes, 22 secondsnecessary to support what they're trying to do. However, the county zoning that they need to pursue would be a commercial zoning to allow for that type of business, which is why they made this
1:04:311 hour, 4 minutes, 31 secondsrequest. Uh the reason they're going this different route with the with the PUD would be to like we do with SPS restrict that to a more selective use
1:04:391 hour, 4 minutes, 39 secondslist of uses that would still be consistent with the future land use plan that's in place now. To do that, they would not need this future land use
1:04:461 hour, 4 minutes, 46 secondsrequest. And I would still suggest that you don't do the future land use request as as presented here. Uh if you do it,
1:04:551 hour, 4 minutes, 55 secondsthat pretty much removes the city's say in any future resonings. What they're asking for is interchange commercial, which is the broadest commercial
1:05:021 hour, 5 minutes, 2 secondscategory there. So that would without coming back to city council could be reszoned for car lots, car washes, gas stations, motel, self storage, auto
1:05:091 hour, 5 minutes, 9 secondsrepair, auto sales, and even a mobile home park could be could be permitted under that without ever having to come back to the city council. So we're not
1:05:171 hour, 5 minutes, 17 secondstrying to prevent what they're trying to do there. We think it's fine and it works with what's in there. But the city's council's role in this with the future lane use plan is just not
1:05:251 hour, 5 minutes, 25 secondsnecessary to support what they're doing really. the timeline of it and and the the way that they handle that with the county zoning is what's important. It's
1:05:331 hour, 5 minutes, 33 secondsjust not really the city council's decision to do that. I think putting restrictions through a PUD is the correct way to go to enable them to do
1:05:411 hour, 5 minutes, 41 secondstheir business. But the city council has no say in what those restrictions are if or if they even get put in place if if this does get approved.
1:05:481 hour, 5 minutes, 48 secondsSo, and I guess that would we need to allow the county commission time to to do that, right?
1:05:541 hour, 5 minutes, 54 secondsIt would take some time. They'd have to submit that PUD. PUD um restrictions would come to planning commission.
1:06:001 hour, 6 minutesAgain, that would go to our planning commission, then back to the county commission. It would not come to city council for any input there. it will
1:06:061 hour, 6 minutes, 6 secondstake some more time to to achieve that which I know the applicant has indicated they don't want that extra time which is why why this is still on on your agenda
1:06:151 hour, 6 minutes, 15 secondshere but it's just really opening the door to a lot of things the city is trying to protect against in this area while they can achieve what they're
1:06:241 hour, 6 minutes, 24 secondstrying to do without us giving up that control just from my standpoint I feel like this is the this is the furthest I would want
1:06:321 hour, 6 minutes, 32 secondsto go um on this item especially without the the councilman representing that ward uh present for um because I
1:06:411 hour, 6 minutes, 41 secondscertainly wouldn't want to approve it and not knowing what's going to happen with the PUD request from the county.
1:06:471 hour, 6 minutes, 47 secondsYeah, if they go the PUD route, they again won't need this request.
1:06:501 hour, 6 minutes, 50 secondsHopefully, it will just be withdrawn if that if they do pursue that and that that gets approved. Uh that would be the ideal path here. But like I said, I
1:06:571 hour, 6 minutes, 57 secondswould certainly not advise to approve this ahead of the PUB because that would open the door and give up any control that the city council would have in the situation.
1:07:061 hour, 7 minutes, 6 secondsDrawback to deferring the item to allow the councilman representing the the ward to be present for. Is there?
1:07:151 hour, 7 minutes, 15 secondsI wouldn't say that there's any drawback. I don't think it really achieves anything more than than denying it would. Um hopefully they would
1:07:221 hour, 7 minutes, 22 secondswithdraw the request. Again, if they go the putt route, it won't be needed.
1:07:251 hour, 7 minutes, 25 secondsYeah, what they're trying to do is is not needed for this request and you can defer it and they can either withdraw it or you can vote vote on it the next
1:07:341 hour, 7 minutes, 34 secondsmeeting. But I think the only reason it really stayed on the agenda that I had this conversation with councelor Carmarmac and the applicant about what to do. The reason it stayed on the
1:07:421 hour, 7 minutes, 42 secondsagenda was to not slow them down to, you know, try to keep that moving. So deferring it and denying it is I guess the same end goal as far as the the applicant would be concerned.
1:07:521 hour, 7 minutes, 52 secondsOkay. And then if for some reason something changes in a positive direction, then it could be changed at the second, you know, when this comes
1:07:591 hour, 7 minutes, 59 secondsback from a deferral. I would just defer it for one meeting if we think Joey's going to be here next time.
1:08:061 hour, 8 minutes, 6 secondsThat's my my motion with the second. Okay. Any further discussion?
1:08:141 hour, 8 minutes, 14 secondsOkay, we have a motion to defer. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Thank you.

1:11:261 hour, 11 minutes, 26 secondsWilliam Porter parks recreation director motion by councelor Kra second by councelor Berdine discussion
1:11:351 hour, 11 minutes, 35 secondsa little bit about these fees. Um, William,
1:11:491 hour, 11 minutes, 49 secondsflag football and junior pro basketball are the two that we run. Uh, they've been $50 for 15 years or whatever. and
1:11:581 hour, 11 minutes, 58 secondswe're looking at going to up to 100 and that way it may we may settle on 75 but we went ahead and put it to ask for move
1:12:081 hour, 12 minutes, 8 secondsthem to 100 and that way if we go to 75 we've got a chance we could go to 100 without having to come back to council the next time but that's not saying we
1:12:151 hour, 12 minutes, 15 secondswon't do 100 but that's what that's what our process is. Uh we're still way cheaper than that's still way cheaper
1:12:221 hour, 12 minutes, 22 secondsthan any other flag football league you can go play in. Uh uh and basketball league as far as that goes. Uh and then
1:12:301 hour, 12 minutes, 30 secondsthe the other fee is for the the next thing y'all got on your agenda is about us trying to start a reg volleyball
1:12:381 hour, 12 minutes, 38 secondsleague here. And uh so and that's a part of the reason why we were looking to raise the others too is that that one's
1:12:461 hour, 12 minutes, 46 secondsgoing to be in our estimation it needs to be around $200 because it's 250 275
1:12:521 hour, 12 minutes, 52 seconds$300 everywhere else. And if we were to keep our other fees at 50 and have that one at 200, everybody's going, "Well,
1:12:591 hour, 12 minutes, 59 secondswhy is you know what what what's the and the main reason is is just because it's it it's in other places already and
1:13:081 hour, 13 minutes, 8 secondstheirs are 275 $300 to play those wreck leagues and we think 200 would be a start for where we want to go. Also
1:13:161 hour, 13 minutes, 16 secondswe're playing out of one gym basically to start with. We're going to do it in the spring of 227 is when we're looking at, you know, starting it next spring. U
1:13:241 hour, 13 minutes, 24 secondsand we're limited at probably 120 tound, you know, 30 kids that we can take and run the league uh in one gym. And so we
1:13:341 hour, 13 minutes, 34 secondswant to walk and we want to crawl and walk before we run. So we want to keep it in that number somewhere for the
1:13:411 hour, 13 minutes, 41 secondsfirst year. If things go good and and it's working like we want, then maybe we can talk to Winfrey Bryants or some Walter Jay's and maybe we can get
1:13:491 hour, 13 minutes, 49 secondsanother gym one night a week to do something to where we can play. But uh so that's it's uh and it's going to be
1:13:571 hour, 13 minutes, 57 secondsgirls. It's we're it's going to be a girl sport. It's not going to be co It's going to be a girls uh sport. And uh so
1:14:051 hour, 14 minutes, 5 secondswe think uh we've got a lot of stuff that the boys do. We think this will be a good thing for the for the girls to have and with us being in a limited
1:14:131 hour, 14 minutes, 13 secondsnumber. We're going to limit it to girls and we're going to get so many in each age bracket and go from there and see how it does. So that's basically what
1:14:211 hour, 14 minutes, 21 secondsthe fees were for y'all for doing the volleyball. That's exciting in us expanding our sports. Um what is
1:14:281 hour, 14 minutes, 28 secondsnormally a typical football basketball fee? Well, uh, TAPA has a flag football
1:14:361 hour, 14 minutes, 36 secondsleague that they have two and theirs is like $135 or $140 for their league and, uh, for their flag football league. I
1:14:441 hour, 14 minutes, 44 secondsthink their tackle football is even more than that, but their flag I know we've got, uh, Tristar is a rec volleyball
1:14:521 hour, 14 minutes, 52 secondsleague that's in Mount Juliet and we've got a lot of kids in Lebanon that are playing in that league and uh, and it's 265, $275 to play in it.
1:15:021 hour, 15 minutes, 2 secondsSo, so that's what we're looking at. And so, and we're looking at probably making four to six teams in four age brackets
1:15:101 hour, 15 minutes, 10 secondsand and like you said, so you're looking at, you know, we'll have a limited amount of space that we can take. And if
1:15:181 hour, 15 minutes, 18 secondsI had it at $100 and I would have f, you know, you would have everybody trying to play and we can't accommodate everybody. you know,
1:15:261 hour, 15 minutes, 26 secondswe can't accommodate that many at this moment with one gym that we got 500 kids trying to play basketball out of one gym basically. So, uh,
1:15:351 hour, 15 minutes, 35 secondssounds like we used the Floyd Well, we used the Floyd Center for some practices. Uh, and I'm hoping with the renovations that we've got over there
1:15:421 hour, 15 minutes, 42 secondsthat that's what I've been trying to preach in here for two or three years of I've been a a proponent of doing something at the Floyd Center,
1:15:491 hour, 15 minutes, 49 secondsespecially with the gym, so that we can use it for our league also. You know, like I can only use that gym for
1:15:581 hour, 15 minutes, 58 secondsonethird, a third of the kids that play in my league because the goals don't let down. And the twothirds of my league is
1:16:061 hour, 16 minutes, 6 secondskids that play on 8 and 1/2, 8 foot goals, which we let down at our place, but they don't let down over there. So all I can play over there are my nine
1:16:151 hour, 16 minutes, 15 secondsand 10 year olds. And of course, it's like any other thing. The higher up you go, the less kids you have playing, you know, like they all want to play when
1:16:241 hour, 16 minutes, 24 secondsthey're little. And then of course they've got schools to play for. So that takes a lot of our kids out as they get older. They've got middle schools to
1:16:311 hour, 16 minutes, 31 secondsplay for and and stuff to do. So you you you limit some of your participants, you know, with that. But is is First Baptist still doing upwards?
1:16:421 hour, 16 minutes, 42 secondsI I don't think they've done that for a while.
1:16:451 hour, 16 minutes, 45 secondsI don't think they've done it the last I don't think they're doing it anymore.
1:16:491 hour, 16 minutes, 49 secondsAnd and that was one of the things, you know, ours used to be that Upward could take a lot of those smaller co because
1:16:581 hour, 16 minutes, 58 secondsin my estimation it was a great league and it was a great thing, but it was more for younger,
1:17:051 hour, 17 minutes, 5 secondsyou know, it was more for youngerbased kids. Uh, and so we had older kids, but
1:17:141 hour, 17 minutes, 14 secondslike I said, the reason we started taking the younger kids 10 to 15 years ago is because we started having uh uh
1:17:211 hour, 17 minutes, 21 secondsyou had the blue league now that you know they started the blue league. I think I think it's been 10 to 10 or 15 years ago we started the blue league
1:17:301 hour, 17 minutes, 30 secondsbecause Addie played in it when it was first started. So she's been out. So that's Yeah, it's going on close to 12 to 15 years because she was in the third
1:17:381 hour, 17 minutes, 38 secondsfourth grade. So I think it's 15 years old. So, as that league got more prominent,
1:17:461 hour, 17 minutes, 46 secondswell known, you you lost all your third, fourth, and you lost you're losing 150 third, fourth, and fifth graders because they're playing in the blue league.
1:17:551 hour, 17 minutes, 55 secondsAnd now some would play both. But now at when they first started, some would play both, but now you have very few that play both, right?
1:18:031 hour, 18 minutes, 3 secondsBecause they've got so we've got so much other stuff going on, they don't want to try to to do both of them. Okay. Thank you. Yep.

1:21:571 hour, 21 minutes, 57 secondsYeah. Uh could you tell us a little bit about that and then I wanted to kind of add in something about this one on the business tax?
1:22:071 hour, 22 minutes, 7 secondsSure. Um so we currently are using local government for business tax. It just doesn't offer very
1:22:161 hour, 22 minutes, 16 secondsit just doesn't offer a whole lot. So um we're upgrading with Tyler which has a much better platform um for the citizens as well. that has a portal that they'll
1:22:241 hour, 22 minutes, 24 secondsbe able to go online and um pay for their business license and they'll also be able to request miscellaneous permitting and do everything through the
1:22:321 hour, 22 minutes, 32 secondsportal. Um so be helpful for them and for us. Okay. Um I did want to make a comment about what um Miss Gloria said
1:22:411 hour, 22 minutes, 41 secondshere earlier regarding the um utilities and and balancing that out. I failed to
1:22:481 hour, 22 minutes, 48 secondsdo so in my introduction, but I guess it goes along with it. you were kind enough to answer my email today when I asked about that because I didn't remember
1:22:561 hour, 22 minutes, 56 secondspassing something saying that we weren't doing that. It seems it was an internal
1:23:021 hour, 23 minutes, 2 secondsum decision based on the um technology I guess we have or difficulty. Is there
1:23:101 hour, 23 minutes, 10 secondsany a way with this tech Tyler technology to to use to to do a budget for people because I think
1:23:181 hour, 23 minutes, 18 secondsthat's very helpful. Mhm. Um so not for that particular thing because that's utility billing side of it and this is
1:23:261 hour, 23 minutes, 26 secondsonly going to host business tax and miscellaneous permitting. So um but that is something that I can revisit with Harley because that was a decision made
1:23:341 hour, 23 minutes, 34 secondsprior to me. Um so I can look into it deeper with her as far as why and just in brief with your email was that you know the system
1:23:421 hour, 23 minutes, 42 secondshad trouble dealing with it and we weren't getting a lot of support with NextG. So I can do a deeper dive into that for you.
1:23:471 hour, 23 minutes, 47 secondsYou don't mind? I think that would be great especially with our 55 and older communities that we have. Um, yeah, that'd be great. All right, thank you.
1:23:561 hour, 23 minutes, 56 secondsOkay, any further discussion? All in favor say I. Any oppose?
1:24:011 hour, 24 minutes, 1 secondThank you. Uh, thank you everyone for being here tonight. We are journed.
