2026-1141.

50
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,319
Public hearing. And this will be the
final reading. Ordinance repealing and

51
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,319
replacing title 14 zoning and land use
control chapter 2 zoning ordinance of

52
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:37,280
the Mount Pleasant Municipal Code.
Corey.

53
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,840
» Yes, mayor and commissioners. This is
one we've talked about uh quite a bit

54
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:46,640
over the past several months. There is
no substantive change from the first

55
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,159
reading of this ordinance. However, it
does look different because the numbers

56
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,680
are different. So, the numbers
throughout the whole zoning text are

57
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:01,040
changed to coordinate with our current
municipal code. So, if you right now, if

58
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:05,680
you go on uh MUN code, you look in the
zoning ordinance comes up and appendix B

59
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,080
and it does that because the numbers
that are in our current zoning don't

60
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:15,120
match with the numbers that we had in
the old zoning and the rest of the MUN

61
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:18,479
code. So what we've done is again no
substantive change. There's been nothing

62
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,440
as far as the words that have changed,
but all the numbers are different. We've

63
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:27,199
also removed the reference to chapter 2
from the title and throughout because

64
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,560
this will repeal and replace all of
title 14. So which was the intent all

65
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:40,160
along and probably why it was in
appendix B in the first place. So

66
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:45,280
» any questions for Corey Phillip?
He none entertain a motion. Excuse me.

67
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,759
This is a public hearing and a final
reading. Would anyone care to speak?

68
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Please let the minutes reflect no one
care to entertain a motion for approval.

69
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:00,080
» I make approve a motion to approve
ordinance 2026-1141.

70
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,400
» Motion. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

71
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,160
» All those in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion carries. Monthly

72
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:14,160
report from mayor. I'll be brief. Uh
last uh Saturday afternoon evening we

73
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:20,479
had a farmers market here and it was
well attended. There were 16 vendors

74
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:25,039
along with three or four food trucks and
it was uh the first one. There's another

75
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:30,080
one scheduled for August
and I think as we continue to grow that

76
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:34,960
it'll get bigger. Uh, and then not this
Friday, but next f Friday is finally

77
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:38,960
Friday again and it'll be the shop
hopping and there is going to be a

78
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:45,759
cruise in as well with it for the cars.
The first one that we did, I think we

79
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:49,680
wound up with 87 cars. Uh, a number of
food trucks,

80
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,880
people hearing more about it. I'm
hearing more and more calling me about

81
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:59,800
it. So, I think that's just going to
grow. So, that's all I've got. monthly

82
00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:59,800
financial budget report

83
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,039
the preliminary financials out on
Friday. Um, usually in June, the June

84
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:11,440
financials that I present to y'all in
July are preliminary because we are

85
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,440
still closing the books. Everything I
presented to y'all is going to

86
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,280
definitely change in the next 60 days or
at this point probably 45 days. Um,

87
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:23,840
we're working on closing the books for
June 30th. So, we'll have a final set of

88
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,120
financials for you probably in September
and then of course audited financials

89
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,360
for this fiscal year will come from the
audit hopefully in January to try to

90
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,039
stay on track with this new audit firm
that we have. Um, our budget was

91
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:39,840
approved by the controllers's office. We
submitted it on September uh June 26 and

92
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,639
it was approved on June we submitted it
on June 22nd. It was approved on June

93
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:49,280
26th. That's probably the quickest our
budget has been approved. But the only

94
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,199
issue, I had emailed you all the
approval letter and I had checked with

95
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,360
them. We had no questions, no issues.
The only thing is because we were under

96
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,800
that gas notice last year, we have done
our rate increase, but now they're going

97
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,360
to watch us for two years cuz it took us
two years to get in the whole they're

98
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,360
going to watch us for two years to come
out of that, make sure that we keep

99
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:12,240
doing what they want us to do. So, we
won't uh get any awards or anything this

100
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,960
year just because of they're going to as
long as we're under that, we won't. But

101
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:19,199
they told us two years. This is our
first year. They'll probably watch 2027

102
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,400
as well. And then we'll see how we go
from there. And then we're working on

103
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,479
audit at at the moment. Just our
everyday stuff and audit. So if you all

104
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:33,680
have any questions,
>> yeah, get ready for that one.

105
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:38,639
Uh but uh here again, nobody take that
wrong about the uh being looked at for

106
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:42,080
two years on the gas because we borrowed
money from ourselves because it was a

107
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,759
whole lot cheaper than going to a banker
on the open bond market to get it

108
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,080
» and we needed to adjust our rates. I
don't think we do 10 years. So we did a

109
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:52,960
lot of changes. I think we updated all
of that in the November commission

110
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:57,599
meeting. So,
>> so I just always want to make that clear

111
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:59,440
» because they do a great job on that
budget.

112
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,000
» Yep.
>> Any questions for Schiffer?

113
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:07,520
» Hearing none. Entertain a motion to
approve the financial and budget report.

114
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,520
» Make a motion we approve the monthly
financial budget report as presented.

115
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:14,240
» Got a motion. How about a second?
>> Second.

116
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:19,199
» Got a second. All those in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion carries. Monthly

117
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,120
report from city manager Philip.
>> Mayor, commissioners, uh, don't have a

118
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:25,919
lot of things this month. Um, just to
start with, our side loader garbage

119
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:29,840
truck is in Nashville for repair the
steering boxes out. Should be back in a

120
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,200
week or so. Therefore, we've having to
take two additional employees to help

121
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,760
pick up trash and so we're behind on
grass cutting. Um, may work a little

122
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:41,839
overtime to catch back up because
there's been a lot of rain and

123
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:45,760
everything's green.
Yeah. Um, starting the process of car

124
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:51,680
engineering from Mount Joy Road. I hope
to have that bid out and um bids in by

125
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,240
next next meeting. hope to that's pretty
proactive,

126
00:08:52,800 --> 00:09:00,080
» but I just want you to know that we're
starting that process. And then lastly,

127
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:04,800
um employee spotlight on page two.
Impressive young man, firefighter Caleb

128
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Clayton. He's been full-time since 2024.
He holds a bachelor's from UT Southern

129
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,680
in public health education and is
pursuing his masters in business

130
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,440
administration. If you read, he's pretty
accomplished in trap shooting. I think

131
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,959
it says something about number one in
the nation. So, get a chance to read

132
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,240
that. Yeah, pretty impressive. But
wanted to spotlight him this month for

133
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,399
employee spotlight.
>> Good. That's awesome.

134
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:29,839
Anything else, Philip?
>> Not for the city managers.

135
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,680
» All right. Special reports from other
departments or committees. Wastewater.

136
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,480
» Wastewater. Um, I'd like to be able to
take this off one day, but I don't have

137
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:40,000
to change that ordinance, but I just
want to follow up from the uh study

138
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,120
session. There's still a few bugs at the
wastewater treatment plant. And when I

139
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:46,560
was talking about Thursday night, it was
a blown fuse for the compressor. So,

140
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:51,760
they traced it down. And there's a few
other things electrical wise uh but

141
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:55,360
other than that um they fix those
issues.

142
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:59,440
» Okay. Good. Gas system.
>> Gas. I forgot to put my note in here,

143
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:04,959
but we're still in the uh process of the
EDA grant for the high pressure gas u

144
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:08,720
gate station. Um I am meeting with Zach
sometime. It may be tomorrow just other

145
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,839
options. It may not be grant related,
but I didn't want to just see what that

146
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,279
where that goes. There may be some
avenues through the company to be able

147
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,320
to get that in if we don't if this
doesn't happen in a timely manner. I

148
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,480
think it's good for us to explore all
avenues.

149
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:23,760
» Okay.
>> And that's all I have for gas.

150
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:25,200
» Anybody got any questions for Philip on
that?

151
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,240
» No.
>> All right. Hearing none, we'll move into

152
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:33,920
new business. Ordinance 2026-1146.
This will be a first reading. An

153
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,320
ordinance of the city of Mount Pleasant,
Tennessee, amending title 4, chapter six

154
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:42,240
of the Mount Pleasant minister code
relating to travel rules, regulations,

155
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,720
and procedures. Corey,
>> purpose of this ordinance is to update

156
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:50,959
your travel policy. So, um, your travel
policy is in the municipal code. That's

157
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:57,920
why it's an ordinance. Um but the only
change is to change the definition of

158
00:10:53,040 --> 00:11:03,920
travel to include 35 miles from here
because um a lot of staff's continuing

159
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:08,399
education courses are now in Franklin.
So they're wanting to include that as

160
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:11,519
travel as well. It goes from 55 to 35
mile. That's the only change.

161
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,519
» Good.
Any questions? We talked about this

162
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Thursday night, but I mean the travel
trying to get back and forth north or

163
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:23,839
south at any time of morning or evening
and it's just hard for these people when

164
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:30,000
they have to go to that training to get
back. So, I'm fine with this.

165
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:34,480
» Yeah, it's I've done I do this a lot.
>> Yeah, that's right. um you know it may

166
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,680
even at 35 miles it may take you an hour
depending on what's going on and they'll

167
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:41,360
shut down roads and when you've got
employees that have been there all day

168
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:46,000
or late and
>> yeah I think that's that's a very smart

169
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:50,000
thing for us to do. Yeah, absolutely.
All right. Any other comments or

170
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,440
questions? Hearing none, entertain a
motion for the first reading.

171
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:57,680
» I make a motion that we accept ordinance
2026-1146.

172
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,000
» Got a motion. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

173
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:06,079
» Second. All those in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion carries. Ordinance

174
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:12,800
2026-1147.
Again, another first reading. Amending

175
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:16,800
titles chapter mending title 17. Chapter
three of the Mount Pleasant Municipal

176
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Code relating to open burning. Philip
and Corey.

177
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:26,880
» So, this is a comprehensive review and
revision to your open burning policy

178
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:31,920
which is part of municipal code. Um, it
basically just goes in line with best

179
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:38,160
practices. Ben is here to speak to the
technical part or Philip can whoever.

180
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Um,
>> y'all here for Ben? Yeah. Ben, would you

181
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:43,600
like to come up? You
>> mind?

182
00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:54,639
So, this ordinance updates modernizes
our open burning ordinance, which has

183
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:59,120
not been updated since 2013. The
proposed changes align the ordinance

184
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:03,920
with current Tennessee law. Tde
regulations and modern fire service

185
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:07,760
practices while giving fire department
uh clearer authority to protect the

186
00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:12,320
public. None of these changes prohibit
responsible open burning. They provide a

187
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:18,079
better safeguard, clearer enforcement
authority and more flexible flexibility

188
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:22,160
to address changing conditions. Some
quick points. It will prohibit the

189
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:27,760
burning of leaves and yard waste.
Unauthorized commercial burning. It

190
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:33,120
updates our cost recovery.
uh strengthens our enforcement, expands

191
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,040
burnban authority, clarifies permanent
authority,

192
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:41,920
and while our current ordinance has
served us well, it no longer reflects

193
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:46,240
the current state regulations, best
practices or the operational needs of

194
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:50,240
the department. These updates improve
the public safety, reduce liability, and

195
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:56,720
provide clear enforcement authority, and
ensure we can make sound uh decisions

196
00:13:53,680 --> 00:14:00,639
during periods of elevated fire danger.
Okay.

197
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,120
» Any questions? Pam, you got any? You
weren't here when they talk through

198
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,199
this, but it's uh
>> Yeah, I met with Philip and talk through

199
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:11,920
it, but it to me it just makes sense. I
think I'm not a lawyer, but from a

200
00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:15,680
liability standpoint, if we're not up to
what the state standards are and we have

201
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:18,639
a catastrophic event, that's going to
come back on us. And so, I think just

202
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,040
for the protection of the citizens and
to just do the right thing, we need to

203
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:26,320
be at least at state standards. And you
know, we've got like True Rail is a

204
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:31,279
commercial in the middle of all
residential homes and if they were to

205
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:34,639
they wouldn't, but if somebody was in
there and they did a big fire and it got

206
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:38,639
out of control, they could that could be
really catastrophic. So, I think it's

207
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,680
just a smart thing for us to do as a
city.

208
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,839
» Great.
Anything else you want to add to that?

209
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,320
» No, we talked about it pretty good
Thursday,

210
00:14:46,959 --> 00:14:52,399
» so I'm good with it.
>> Okay.

211
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:57,920
We'll entertain a motion for approval of
ordinance 2026-1147.

212
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,959
» Make a motion we approve ordinance
2026-1147

213
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,120
as presented.
>> Got a motion. Do we have a second?

214
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:10,959
» Second.
>> Second. All those in favor? I opposed.

215
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:15,360
Motion carries. Ordinance 2026-1148.
Again, this will be a first reading. An

216
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,199
ordinance amending title 14 zoning and
land use control of Mount Pleasant

217
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,959
Municipal Code. The same being the
zoning ordinance for the city of Mount

218
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:27,920
Pleasant, including the misal zoning map
incorporated therein by reszoning a

219
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:34,399
property from low dis low density
residential R1 to highway commercial CH

220
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:39,040
approved reszone. This is located at
1681 North Main Street. Corey,

221
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:44,639
» so the purpose of this ordinance is to
reszone the property at North Main from

222
00:15:41,839 --> 00:15:49,120
R1 to Highway Commercial. This is a
change to the zoning map. Um, it will be

223
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,759
under the new zoning ordinance that just
passed, but there has been no change to

224
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:58,639
highway commercial or or in the change
that you just passed. Um, the planning

225
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,040
commission held a public meeting last
Tuesday

226
00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:08,959
» and they recommended this reszone. U,
Miss Johnston can speak to it more, but

227
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:13,600
I think the general rationale was that
it used to be commercial and there's

228
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:17,519
commercial right beside it. Um the
planning commission's worksheet and the

229
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:24,079
resolution that they passed is in your
packet as an exhibit. And this will be

230
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:30,000
it's not the it's the orange card, but
the orange card will have new numbers on

231
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:34,880
it when you see it next next month.
>> Uh I'll speak on this very briefly. I

232
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:41,759
got a phone call this afternoon from the
owner of this property, Nolan Bone, and

233
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:48,959
they are covered up. Uh this company uh
puts up silk fencing in large commercial

234
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:53,279
locations. Um this property is a house
that they are leaving is residential and

235
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:58,560
then the property next door to it has
always been zoned residential, but it

236
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,759
was a car lot for years. So actually
what we're getting now is the property

237
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,039
zoned the way it ought to be zoned
because of what they're going to be

238
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:09,439
doing with it. There's not going to be a
lot of traffic there. It'll just be as

239
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:14,240
trucks in and out. Uh, and that's what
it is. And he wanted to let everybody

240
00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:18,880
know he got a big job and he said, "I
need to stay on it before this rain so

241
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,559
that I can get some rain on this." So,
um, made a lot of sense. So, uh,

242
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,360
anything anybody else would like to add
to this?

243
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:34,240
Hearing nothing else, entertain a
motion. Make motion we approve. Mayor,

244
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:40,080
» do you have a list? Is there anyone
signed up to talk about these? Okay.

245
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:44,240
Okay. I make a motion we approve
ordinance 2026-148

246
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,559
as presented. Okay.
>> Got a motion. We have a second.

247
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:51,760
» Second.
>> All those in favor?

248
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:55,440
» I opposed. Motion carries. Good. Move
into the resolutions. Resolution

249
00:17:53,679 --> 00:18:00,160
2026-38,
a resolution adopting a revised capital

250
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:06,720
improvement plan for the city of Mount
Pleasant, Tennessee for fiscal year 2023

251
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:11,039
through fiscal year 2031.
who wants to take care of that one. The

252
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,840
» caption pretty much says it, but
>> yeah, it does. Man,

253
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,559
» commissioners, this was actually a
10-year plan that's from 21 to 31. Last

254
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:22,480
time we revised it was in 23. So, it
hasn't been res revised since I've been

255
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,679
here. But I will say this falls in line
with the strategic plan that we went

256
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,280
through this year and was adopted. So,
they should mirror each other. And a lot

257
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:34,240
of things have changed, but we'll try we
will update this every year we should as

258
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,880
as needed. So that's just a re revision
of the 10-year plan that you

259
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:41,520
established.
>> And on the attachment, we tried to color

260
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:46,480
code it. We didn't remove the items we
completed. So on your attachment, the

261
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:50,480
items that are green are actually
already completed. So like the downtown

262
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:55,039
project, the bomb street firewall,
>> uh radio system upgrades, police officer

263
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:59,120
security updates, again, radio system
upgrade for the police. So those are

264
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:02,320
some of the items like there's park was
a huge item that we finished with the

265
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,320
pavilion and the basketball court.
Aramman's restrooms, purchase of the

266
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:10,160
back truck, grey link, Kanan Road. So I
mean it goes over everything that we

267
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,840
have completed in the last three years
and then ads and everything that we are

268
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:18,320
going to do in the future and also is in
line with the budget that we passed

269
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:22,160
because some of this was all of this was
in Philip strategic plan meeting that he

270
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:26,880
did with y'all a few months ago before
the budget and we try to tie everything

271
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,880
into the budget as well. So all these
documents between the strategic plan,

272
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:34,480
the budget and this tie in together.
Now, we wanted to bring this to you

273
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,120
after the budget passed because the
budget didn't pass the way it was, then

274
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:42,160
we would probably have to make changes
to this document.

275
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:47,640
» Any questions?
>> Hearing none, entertain a motion for

276
00:19:43,919 --> 00:19:47,640
resolution 2026-38.

277
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,360
» I make a motion that we accept
resolution 2026-38

278
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,679
as presented.
>> Second.

279
00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:00,400
» Got a motion and a second. All those in
favor?

280
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:03,760
» I opposed. Motion carries. Resolution
2026-39,

281
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:07,679
a resolution by the city of Mount
Pleasant, Tennessee, authorizing a

282
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:13,559
payment in lie of taxes for the Mount
Pleasant power system for fiscal year

283
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,559
2627

284
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:21,039
Rory Shipra.
>> Um that's we do three resolutions every

285
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:25,120
year
of taxes for government entities. Of

286
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:29,039
course, this is all controlled by TCAs
and things like that in the background.

287
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:33,280
The power company is budgeted about 400
some thousand in our budget this year.

288
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:37,120
Uh the numbers I base them off of is
last year's estimate. The power company

289
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:41,440
usually gives us a new estimate in
October once the tax rule comes out.

290
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:46,080
They know what the and their audit is
done. So all three of the next items

291
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,559
that's kind of like each one has its own
separate calculation done between the

292
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:54,400
power company does their own, the uh
housing authority does theirs and then I

293
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:59,600
do the one for the gas uh gas for our
city.

294
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,799
All right. Again, this happens every
year. These are just uh

295
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:07,280
» Do we do them together? No.
>> No. Have to do them separately. Any

296
00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:10,720
questions on this?
>> No.

297
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:14,720
» Entertain a motion for resolution
2026-39.

298
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:19,120
» I would make a motion that we approve
resolution 2026-39

299
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,440
as as presented.
>> Got a motion. Do we have a second?

300
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:26,480
» Second.

» All those in favor?
>> I.

313
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Resolution 2026-42,
a resolution to obligate LSTBG

314
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:27,679
funds for 272925
the downtown revitalization project.

315
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:32,000
Chipper
>> um this is um we discussed this last

316
00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:36,640
year last month meeting and uh it was
for the STG funds. We've been obligating

317
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,840
the last few years to the downtown
project. We had thought maybe this year

318
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:44,480
we wouldn't have to since the project
was almost done, but we found out from

319
00:22:42,159 --> 00:22:48,559
Laura Lee who as our grant manager and
then the state people that we may have

320
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,880
invoices that we have already paid in
the prior years that they may be able to

321
00:22:50,159 --> 00:22:56,559
go back and recoup funds on. So since we
have these funds and they these are very

322
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:01,039
restricted funds, we can only use them
for certain things. So they don't really

323
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:05,039
give you enough to as a city to do a
project on its own usually. So this

324
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:08,640
actually helps us with the grant project
with the completion of downtown. So, we

325
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,679
just the state just wanted a resolution
this year, so I'm going to send this to

326
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,280
them. So, we just wanted to get it done
today.

327
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:19,760
» Okay. Just as a quick side note, I spoke
with Brooksie Carlton. Brooksie is the

328
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:24,799
assistant commissioner of Tennessee
Department of Economic and Community

329
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:29,440
Development uh yesterday and invited her
down to come see what their money has

330
00:23:27,679 --> 00:23:33,679
done for us. And she's coming down. She
said she'd heard that the revitalization

331
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,520
of the square had led to a lot of new
vendors and she really wanted to see

332
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,120
what it looked like. So, she's going to
be out. So, it'll be nice to have her

333
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:47,916
be.
>> So, any other questions on uh

334
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,936
revitalization stgs?
[laughter]

335
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,880
» Yeah. Anybody?
>> Local state transportation block grant.

336
00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:01,039
» Yes. It's it's a bunch.
>> Very good. [laughter] Entertain

337
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,799
a motion.
>> Make a motion we accept resolution

338
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,280
2026-42
as presented.

339
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:09,679
» Got a motion. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

340
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:15,200
» Second. All those in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion carries. Resolution

341
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:20,000
2026-43,
a resolution approving change order

342
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:25,440
number two to the engineering contract
with civil and environmental consultants

343
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:29,039
for the water meter replacement project.
Mayor, commissioners, we had this on the

344
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,159
agenda last night and or not last last
month. You remember me scratching my

345
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,720
head that they was increasing it even
though we weren't going to spend all the

346
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:38,559
quantities and the money that's
allocated for it. So, I got them to see

347
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:44,400
it my way this month. So, we're reducing
the contract by uh $45,000.

348
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,360
Um this is to replace the line on
Scotttown Road that we know is leaking

349
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:51,279
and we're tired of repairing it. So,
we're going to replace the whole dag on

350
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:54,880
line. Sorry, I should have said don. But
um I get excited about water and and

351
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:58,880
getting it in the pipes.
>> Um and I apologize for that. But the

352
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:02,559
value of this is $10,000 and that's
approved in that contract.

353
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:07,840
» Change order. Sorry.
>> Uh stopping leaks. That's what's most

354
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:12,640
important.
>> Any questions?

355
00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:17,919
Hearing none. Entertain a motion.
>> Yeah. Coming [laughter] to accept this

356
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:20,559
resolution um 2026-43
as presented.

357
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:23,039
» Got a motion. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

358
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:28,679
» All those in favor? I
>> I.

359
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:28,679
» Motion carries. Resolution 2026-4244.

360
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:36,799
Resolution to approve the contract with
Sam Sarah for the camera system for the

361
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:42,320
sanitation truck.
>> So, this approves the three-year

362
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:48,000
contract with Sam Sarah for the camera
system. Um,

363
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,520
this actually
replaces the one that you did last year

364
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:57,919
because uh, last year's was just a
continuation of year three. So,

365
00:25:56,159 --> 00:26:01,440
obviously that year's already been paid,
but this [snorts] is a three years

366
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:08,320
starting from now. So, they only go in
three-year contracts before y'all

367
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:13,600
because of the length of the contract.
>> Any questions on that?

368
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:19,200
» Hearing none. Entertain a motion for
resolution 2026-44.

369
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:23,039
» Make a motion we approve resolution
2026-44 as presented.

370
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,679
» Got a motion. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

371
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:32,640
» All those in favor?
>> I opposed. Motion carries. Resolution

372
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,480
2026-45,
a resolution approving the engineering

373
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:41,200
contract with civil and environmental
consultants for the Mount Pleasant

374
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,120
Halong Avenue project.
The purpose of this resolution is to

375
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:49,360
approve a contract with CDC consultants
to do a topographic survey related to

376
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:54,799
the storm water and roadway improvements
on Halong. The propo the proposal for

377
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:58,960
professional services was in your packet
and is attached as an exhibit to the

378
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:04,559
resolution. The cost of the services is
$93,500.

379
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:08,320
The deliverable here is a survey and the
project will take two months weather

380
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:12,799
permitting. Uh Philip might be able to
speak to why we need this.

381
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:16,000
Mayor Commissioner. Um, this actually
was in the strategic plan about the

382
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,679
starting the process on Halong. We just
doing it a little quicker than we

383
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,880
anticipated. So, this will encompass
from North College all the way down

384
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:27,279
Halong and up Good Low. And it's going
to it's going to take a survey of

385
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:30,320
sidewalks and all all the way down. Um,
this is directly related to the hole

386
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:34,159
that's in the in the street right now
and storm water. And we're learning more

387
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:38,479
and more each day about that. And uh so
over the next few months uh being able

388
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:41,679
to see that water that's been under
[clears throat] the street for 50 years

389
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,880
and then where it's coming out on good
low it's it's opened a lot of eyes for

390
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,679
me. So we're going to do a lot of
camering and GIS and G and coordinances

391
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,799
with everything that we have storm water
related cuz the last thing I want to do

392
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,360
is come back you guys in a few months
and ask you to approve a whole design

393
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:02,399
that's going to be very costly and not
understand what we're doing. So, uh,

394
00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:06,000
this is a per first part of the storm
water program that you've established

395
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:09,640
and I think we're already going to be in
the hole a little bit.

396
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:18,559
Our budget is 75,000 in engineering this
year for uh, water already with part of

397
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:22,880
us setting up the new fund. So, this is
already so when we amend when I bring a

398
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:27,760
budget amendment in
winter months in January to all, we'll

399
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:32,640
have to amend it for this already. So,
but it's got to be done.

400
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,240
» Halong has prioritized itself.
>> Yes. [laughter]

401
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:37,120
Sadly,
>> it's in the top of the list. Yeah.

402
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Because I don't think it was originally
on the top of the list for water. So,

403
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:47,279
» I can tell you this. I've been involved
in it since the morning it opened up.

404
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:54,080
And I want to compliment our staff.
>> They have worked at this. I mean, guys,

405
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:59,159
it's I mean, when you got a community as
old as this one is, they've dug back in

406
00:28:56,159 --> 00:28:59,159
old

407
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:07,039
deeds and old site maps and stuff and
found stuff that, frankly, I don't think

408
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,600
anybody in this room knew existed back
then. I mean, there was a uh there was a

409
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:16,240
water system for all the city right down
here next door to where the library is.

410
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:22,799
I never knew that.
and uh there was uh places to tie up

411
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:28,559
your horses.
So, I mean it it's been very eye opening

412
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:32,880
of what we have up through there.
I mean, I can't talk enough about all of

413
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:39,200
the staff that's been a part of this. It
has been it's been excellent.

414
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:44,720
So, any other comments, Willie? I know
you've had a chance to ride with them

415
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:48,720
some, too, and get a look at it.
blowing my mind.

416
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,360
» I think I'm going to add to that, we
don't understand it yet, but we will

417
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,039
understand it. And I would agree with
Cy. We've never had a storm water

418
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:59,120
program. I think we've had a spring.
>> I think we have I think that's probably

419
00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:03,840
true.
>> And I I just appreciate the fact that

420
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:07,039
we're not just blowing ahead with the
whole program until we understand that

421
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:12,080
because if what we think is true is
true, that really changes everything,

422
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:17,200
the whole thing. So, I mean I to me
that's just a great blessing that that

423
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:20,880
whole opened up and um and I and staff
has just been incredible in all the work

424
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:25,679
they've done. So,
really appreciate it.

425
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:31,919
» All right. Hearing anybody got any other
comments on entertain a motion on

426
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:37,760
resolution 2026-45.
>> I make motion we approve 2026-45

427
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:41,200
as presented for the engineering and
civil environment consultants. Got a

428
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,000
motion. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

429
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,960
» All those in favor? I
>> opposed. Motion carries. CT form

430
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:54,559
downtown grant anticipation note
extension.

431
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:59,760
» This is just a FYI item. We approve the,
you know, downtown

432
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:04,399
grant anticipation note in 2025, June of
2025. It just keeps getting extended

433
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:09,200
till the downtown project closes. We
have $250,000 left to return to the

434
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:12,799
general fund. So once we return those
funds, this will be done. So this is

435
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:16,240
just the debt report that was approved
by the controller's office saying

436
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:20,039
they're good with our extension to
continue on.

437
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:20,039
» Yes.

438
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,799
» Oh, and it extends us to January
>> January the 29th 27.

439
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,799
» Yep.
>> Okay.

440
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:36,080
This is no action needed, but we felt
like this was important at $250,000 for

441
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:39,679
everybody to hear. And I'm required the
controllers's office requires me to let

442
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:44,000
you all know what steps they like they
they approved it. So required to

443
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,519
present.
>> All right. General comments from

444
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:52,240
citizens. Will we anybody sign up out
there for it? All right. Anybody care to

445
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,799
speak?
Mary Lee, we appreciate you

446
00:31:53,277 --> 00:31:57,799
[clears throat] serving. Thank you very
much.

447
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:05,519
Lots went on. Short period of time.
Uh, thanks everybody for being here and

448
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,440
try to stay cool. Maybe we're going to
get a little better weather. I I

449
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:15,039
hopefully we don't get the storms

band. What's wrong? [laughter]

460
00:32:52,320 --> 00:33:00,240
Um, and also I just I heard there was a
comment at the discussion meeting about

461
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:05,279
maybe
uh the commission not doing putting in

462
00:33:01,919 --> 00:33:08,240
the work but I mean the fact of all the
things that were that the staff has done

463
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:11,760
to make sure just from getting
coordinating all these things that have

464
00:33:09,679 --> 00:33:15,919
been in the wrong numbers and the app
attendances and and getting everything

465
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:19,679
to drive up and so that everything is
coordinated and it's right and we're

466
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:24,000
doing all these things in the last few
years to just make the city as it moves

467
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:28,080
forward all these things that have been
neglected all these years are being are

468
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:33,279
being taken care of so that as it grows
we now have a consist resistance system

469
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:38,000
and um you know thank god we passed the
budget so that you know we already you

470
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,880
know should have should have charged
more but I'm I'm just so I just want to

471
00:33:40,159 --> 00:33:47,248
say thank you to everybody on staff and
um a lot of what we have to do is is

472
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,600
made easier by the fact that we've got
[clears throat] incredible staff that

473
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:53,600
put it all together and give it to us
and and let us ask questions and

474
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,960
