will ask you to remain standing for the pledge of allegiance.
Let's pray.
Heavenly Father, we're so grateful for your blessing on this great nation
and on our wonderful community of Bartlett.
Lord, we pray that you will lead, guide and direct these Alderman and Mayor McDonald.
Father, I pray that you'll bless them with great wisdom and sincere compassion.
We're so grateful for the selfless sacrifice of our police officers
and firefighters, those first responders here in our community
that work so hard to protect us and serve us
and we pray that you'll protect and bless them.
Again, Father, thank you for your hand of blessing over our great city of Bartlett
and pray that you will lead, guide and direct our leaders.
In your holy name, we pray. Amen.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Thank you all very much. Thank you.

Thank you all. Thanks for coming.
And now I'll ask the healthier Bartlett Marathon folks,
Marathon in a month, folks if they will, to join me down at the podium.
You all know Sharon, Sharon likes to tell me what to do.
You do, that's right.
So they're going to tell you in just a minute about what they undertook,
what we, several of us undertook as a community.
But we don't want this to be just a one-time event and they'll tell you about that as well.
We really, one of the goals for this administration in the next four years is a healthier community.
And so these good folks are helping us undertake that.
And with that, I'll turn it over to Sharon Fryman.
We represent the Healthier Bartlett Wellness Council.
And we just finished an initiative called Marathon in a Month,
which was an international competition trying to log miles over the month of October.
And we are very, very proud to say that Bartlett came in third in the whole nation in the top city
by logging 20,589 miles.
So we have this plaque to present to the mayor and to the alderman
to be so proud of Bartlett's efforts.
Some interesting kind of things that Bartlett averaged 664 miles a day for the month of October.
And we had some outstanding groups.
Bartlett's soulmates gave 40% of the miles and Bartlett Recreation Center members gave 37% of the miles.
We beat San Antonio, Chicago, Houston, Albuquerque, Dallas, Round Rock, Texas.
We had over 260 people register and 212 people achieve their goal or exceeded it.
So that was fabulous to have so much participation.
We look forward to even more fun in the future.
The other mayors of other cities have been very excited about this.
And so the mayor of Austin is very supportive of this effort.
So he tipped his hat to you for doing such a great job, Mayor McDonald,
and gives you a t-shirt, whoops, sorry, for our next effort,
which is Million Mile Month coming in April.
And Austin says we are out to get you.
So we want to get right back to get Austin because we actually, as a city,
walked to Austin every day.
So we can definitely stomp all over them next year.
So Austin says, come get us.
Thank you, congratulations.
Thank you for putting this down here.
Go ahead, you're going to...
Yeah, if we can get...
Let me get the taller ones in the back and we can...
You know who you are.
And the rest of us kind of get on each side here
and we'll balance this side a little bit.
Is that good for you?
Well, I think...
Are you not getting a picture, baby?
He's going to take it.
Great. Thank you all. Thank you all so much.
So I have one thing to say before I go back up there.
This t-shirt is a large.
It is.
And so I'm hoping by April a miracle will happen
and I'll be able to wear this t-shirt.
So we'll be working on that.
Thank you so much.
Now for the official business of the day.
First item being approved in minutes for October 23rd.
Have a motion.
Second.
And a second.
Is there any discussion?
If not, will you go to your device and cast your vote please?
The minutes are approved unanimously.
Our next item is a public hearing.
Any individual may speak for a maximum of three minutes,
either for or against the item,
with a total of 20 minutes for each side.
Before we go to the public,
Mr. Jim Brown is here to give us a reminder
of what all is involved in this
and it's lots of pages so we're not going to read it.
There's probably 13 different code books that we go by.
This adoption will bring us up to the requirements
for the state of Tennessee as well as ISO.
Memphis and Shelby County are both moving forward together
to adopt this very same code.
Great.
Thank you very much.
Now we will go to the public.
Anyone wishing to speak in favor of ordinance 1806
should come forward at this time.
Seeing no one coming, anyone wishing to speak in opposition?
Seeing no one coming, this public hearing is adjourned
and we'll move to unfinished business.
Madam Clerk.
Third reading of ordinance 1806
and ordinance adopting the 2015 editions
of the international codes as amended.
And move we approve.
Second.
We have a motion and a second.
Any discussion?
If not, will you go to your device and cast your vote please?
The ordinance 1806 passes unanimously
and thank you for your support on that.
The ISO has been really honest to get that done
and thank you, Jim, for your hard work
to get that done in a timely fashion
so that we would meet their requirement.
Tonight we have 13 items on the consent agenda.
Anyone on this board can remove any item
for separate discussion.
Is there any item anyone wishes to remove
for separate discussion?
If not, Madam Clerk,
will you read them into the record please?
Item one, special event permit
for Trail of Tears commemorative walk.
Item two, bid for one 2019 Ford F-350
with utility crane bed.
Item three, bid for one 2019 Ford F-350
with eight foot bed.

for Elmore Park drainage improvements.
Item 11, renaissance bank
treasury management services.
Item 12, planning commission report
for October 2018.
Item 13, planning commission report
for November 2018.
You've heard the consent agenda.
What's the will of the body?
Have a motion and a second.
Will you go to your device
and cast your vote then please?
Consent agenda passes unanimously.
I do want to say that I hope
item eight, the bid for construction
of assault storage dome
is not something that we need anytime soon
with the weather forecast we have.
I know the young people out there
don't necessarily agree with that.
They'd like to have some snow days, I'm sure.
Under new business, Madame Clark.
One item under new business.
First reading of ordinance 1808
an ordinance to amend title eight
chapters one, two and three.
Sections eight, 101, 1A and B.
8202, 8212, 8216, 8219,
8306 and 8310 of the codified ordinances.
Mr. Ed McKinney, city attorney.
Thank you, Mayor.
This is the first of what may be
two amendments to the beer ordinance
and is to bring it in line with state law.
Changing the definition of a beer
to 8% or less
and then there's a high alcohol content beer
which is defined in here too.
It changes the hours for the sale
of a beer to 8% or less
and then there's a high alcohol content beer
which is defined in here too.
It changes the hours for the sale
of a beer to 8% or less
and it changes the hours
for the sale of beer to coincide
with people who have a state
license to sell liquor under the ABC.
It changes the hours
on Sunday from noon until
10 to be consistent
with state law also
and it
there's also a limitation
in our beer ordinance
about only one establishment
can be operated by a retailer.
That won't work under the new laws
with the sale of wine
because of retail stores like Krober
so we had to come up with some language
to change that
and that's in section 3
of the proposed ordinance
and then
The Sunday sale of wine will be effective as of January 1st, 2019. And I think those are
the only changes now. There may be some others that will come later. Any questions?
We have to get a motion on the floor first. Motion.
And does that include setting the public hearing on December 11th? Yes, it does.
Thank you. And a second? Have a motion and a second? Now, is there any discussion
or questions for Mr. McKinnon? All right. Seeing no one seeking to be recognized, we will go
to the vote. Madam Clerk, if we will go to your device and cast your vote.
I would just say I wasn't the seconder. That was Paul, I believe.
Okay. Thank you.
This motion carries on first reading unanimously with the public hearing to be set for December
11th, 2018. That concludes our regular business, and it is our tradition to allow anyone to
speak to this board on any matter before we go to the public for that. Is there anyone
on the board that would like to make any announcements or have anything they'd like to say?
Alderman Pleasant.
Yeah, I was just kind of wanting to wish everybody a happy ending. Our races for Alderman and Mayor,
it was between decent people, and there was no problems. People run for position because
they have their right to, and it's free countries that we're blessed to live in.
And Emily and I was just talking a while ago about, you know, running against people that make
enemies out of them. In most instances, it makes friendships. And I know that's been in
my life, and that's my case. And then, like you're kind of, I mean, unless something horrible
was to happen, you're planned on leaving in four years. If we're both alive, we'll be,
I'll probably be leaving with you. But anyway, so I just, I've been, you know,
joined working with y'all these years. And sometimes it worries me when things
comes up, like different things that's come before the board, people that are bothered about things
in the neighborhoods. But I know you, and I know you're concerned about it. And when you tell
people that, you know, sometimes you have to go through pain, but there's silver lining at
the end of it. But that's really not a lot of comfort to them. But I do know you're also trying
your best, you and your administration and trying to work out different things that people are not
aware of, trying to make it better for the people living in the community and have been
bothered with the parking problem. So I just, I wish you well on it. I'm glad it's you,
and particularly not me anyway. So thank you. Keep up good work, baby. Thank you all, my pleasant.
Who else, anyone else? Well, I would like to say thank you to the voters of this community
for the support that I received in my reelection bid and thank you for the opportunity to serve.
And we do have a plan that we're ready to roll out first of the year for the next four years
that is an aggressive plan. It's not a plan where we just sit back and wait four years to pass.
It's going to be something that's going to take a lot of our time and energy to get things done
that we want to see done, or at least get it so that someone else can pick that up and take
it and make it even better. We want to make sure our finances are left in great shape,
including our pensions. So there's a lot of work for all of us. You take, it's not one person,
it's all of us. We have to get four votes to pass anything. So it's a group effort and then
the great men and women that we have working for us in our departments and the people that
work for them. My gratitude to all of you for the success that we've known for 16 years and the
success I know we will continue to have for the next four years. So thank you very much.
Anyone else? All right, I would go to our appointees. Any of you have anything you need to share?
Michael's not here because he's got a play going on. It'll be going on this weekend,
homegrown play. I encourage you if you have a chance to go out and see that at Bartlett
Forming Arts Center, but otherwise he would be coming to announce that. So I'm kind of announcing
that for him, but don't tell him that. Anyone else? If not, any of the public that has
anything they'd like to share at this time. Seeing no one coming for this being the conclusion
of our regular agenda. This meeting stands adjourned.
