[0:03] It is 6:32 on August 6th, 2026.

[0:04] We will call to order the Board of Commissioners regularly scheduled meeting.

[0:08] With all 5 commissioners here, we do have a quorum.

[0:11] The first item on the agenda is our prayer,

[0:13] and I would like to invite Pastor Squires from Nolensville First United Methodist.

[0:18] Would you bow your heads as I pray?

[0:20] Dear wise, loving, and gracious God, known by many names and beyond all names,

[0:24] First, let me say thank you on behalf of all who have gathered here tonight.

[0:28] Thank you for the many abundant blessings.

[0:31] Thank you for life itself,

[0:32] for the measure of health we need to fulfill our callings, for sustenance,

[0:36] and for friendship. We ask your blessings on the people who have been called to lead

[0:41] the community in which we live and work and play.

[0:44] Give them personal peace in their lives and joy in their task.

[0:47] Bless our agenda for this evening to be fruitful and for the common good.

[0:51] Grant that our mayor and board of commissioners have ears to listen to the

[0:55] commissioners have ears to listen to the people

[0:56] they serve and the wisdom to act for justice.

[0:58] Help them as leaders to not ask first, how do we fix this,

[1:01] but what do we need to learn? How might we need to change?

[1:05] And to whom do we need to listen?

[1:06] Remind them, because we all forget from time to time,

[1:09] especially in the noisiness of what passes for political debate and dialogue today,

[1:14] especially during a campaign season,

[1:16] that they're not only leaders but also servants.

[1:19] And it is their responsibility and ours to serve the common good for all.

[1:23] Remind them that no matter where we live, everyone is our neighbor.

[1:27] Remind us all of that fact as well, and that throughout the ages,

[1:30] prophets have called the leaders of the people to respect and protect the least of

[1:35] those among us: our children, the elderly, the poor, those who are hungry,

[1:39] those who have no homes, those who are ill in body, mind, or spirit,

[1:43] the strangers in our midst, those who live on the margins, and those who are alone.

[1:47] And those who are forgotten.

[1:49] Graciously grant us tonight your guidance as we begin this meeting,

[1:53] and grant them and us the wisdom and courage to know and do what is right and

[1:57] courage to know and do what is right and good

[1:57] and true, and the best path when there are several.

[2:00] Help us now engage in meaningful discussion.

[2:02] Allow us to grow closer as a group and nurture the bonds of community and the

[2:07] ability to work together in harmony, even when there is honest disagreement.

[2:11] May they and we speak out when it's time to speak out.

[2:14] And listen patiently and receptively when it's time to listen.

[2:18] May they and we always be guided by the spirit of the community,

[2:21] by the spirit of justice, and most of all, by the spirit of love.

[2:25] This we pray in the name of all that we hold sacred and holy, all that we hold

[2:29] hold sacred and holy, all that we hold good,

[2:29] right, and true. It is in your blessed name, for which me is found in Jesus.

[2:34] May it be so for all of us. And everyone who'd like to said—

[2:37] Amen.

[2:38] Amen.

[2:40] Thank you. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

[2:42] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the

[2:49] United States of America and to the republic

[2:50] for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible,

[2:55] with liberty and justice for all.

[3:40] Resolution 26-044 with the motion being made by

[3:40] Vice Mayor Salamita,

[3:42] but we've been advised that that's not something that has to be changed in the

[4:42] Okay.

[4:43] All right, get my notes here. One more time for our pinning ceremony here.

[4:49] Um, we'll add the—

[4:51] change it up a little bit from, from my usual speech, but, uh, In the service,

[4:55] the badge represents more than just a position or a rank to us.

[4:59] It symbolizes the trust, the duty,

[5:01] and the sacrifice and commitment we have to serve our community and other people

[5:05] here. This ceremony also recognizes the support of family and friends and

[5:10] support of family and friends and colleagues

[5:10] as well, and the mentors who have worked with,

[5:13] with him through over his years of service here to help make this achievement

[5:17] possible. So we're going to have, um, New Nick.

[5:20] New Nick.

[5:22] We've got multiple Nicks now, so we got New Nick.

[5:26] He comes to us from Manchester,

[5:28] who quickly returned the favor and challenged us to the ice bucket challenge,

[5:34] so we had to perform that for them. 9 years of total service in the fire

[5:39] years of total service in the fire service.

[5:39] He has pretty much achieved his requirements shortly before we hired him

[5:44] requirements shortly before we hired him to be an

[5:45] engineer, so he came straight into us as an engineer.

[5:49] Uh, on A shift and, uh, hopefully be serving here for a while.

[5:53] So we'll go ahead and bring you up.

[5:56] Uh, he'll be getting pinned by his mother, Kim, today. Make sure—

[6:00] I get sticky?

[6:02] Do you want to step back a little bit further towards the

[6:08] bench so you can get a good picture?

[6:11] There's your mother's pills.

[6:14] I'm doing my best not to poke the kid.

[6:20] Once it's through the first hole, you just let it hang.

[6:27] It'll be good.

[6:28] It's not fitting

[6:36] in.

[6:38] Thank you,

[6:43] Chief,

[6:46] and

[6:48] congratulations

[6:56] to Engineer Nick

[7:04] Thompson.

[7:09] Our next item on

[7:18] the agenda is

[7:25] citizen

[7:28] comments,

[7:33] and we have

[7:39] Cheryl Hughes

[7:46] signed up for

[7:53] citizen

[7:57] comments.

[8:01] And Ms.

[8:05] Hughes,

[8:09] if you don't

[8:15] mind pulling the

[8:24] microphone up.

[8:31] Yeah.

[8:34] Hello, I'm Cheryl Hughes, 1752 and 1790 Burke Hollow Road.

[8:39] I have some comments about the Van Slyke annexation request.

[8:43] The back of the property runs to Burke Hollow Road. I grew up in Burke Hollow.

[8:49] I went 4 hours away to college and I have lived away,

[8:53] but I've always spent time at home as my parents lived out their lives there.

[8:59] Our mother was the last to pass 2 years ago,

[9:03] so it's me and my siblings and 225 acres and 3 parcels in question.

[9:08] One parcel is elsewhere.

[9:10] And we aren't selling any of it because Burke Hollow is lovely,

[9:14] but it's easy to remain in a place I have a history with.

[9:19] The Burke Hollow area has been zoned RD-5 since at least the late '80s.

[9:24] It didn't just revert to RD-5 with that 2020 County Commission vote like other

[9:30] unincorporated areas such as Bethesda or College Grove,

[9:34] which were zoned 1 or 2 acres per unit prior.

[9:38] The 2012 county zoning document described Burke Hollow as the area east of I-65 and

[9:44] Leiper's Fork west of 65 as the 2 areas reserved to preserve and encourage rural

[9:50] reserved to preserve and encourage rural and

[9:50] agricultural pursuits. I chose to stay.

[9:53] In contrast, the people who have moved into Burke Hollow in the last 30 years

[9:59] into Burke Hollow in the last 30 years chose

[9:59] a rural area over a subdivision or being inside the city limits.

[10:04] Thank you.

[10:06] They chose no sidewalks, municipal fire department, fire hydrants,

[10:10] streetlights outside the perimeter of pizza delivery,

[10:14] and 15 to 20 minutes to the nearest grocery or restaurants.

[10:18] The flip side is that we get to enjoy daily the unspoiled hills and pastures,

[10:24] hawks screaming overhead, owls hooting at night, elbow room and space.

[10:29] Little noise and less traffic. Kids skateboard on the road.

[10:33] People jog, walk dogs, ride horses.

[10:36] We have streams of cyclists because they get a workout on the hills,

[10:40] and motorcyclists love the winding curves.

[10:43] People hunt and trap, practice target shooting as we're in the county,

[10:48] so gunfire is common. Farming is still going on.

[10:52] So these people chose a rural way of life.

[10:55] If they had wanted to live in a high-density area,

[10:58] they could have chosen Ballinger Farms with homes on a quarter acre,

[11:03] McFarland Woods half-acre lots, or Barrington's one-acre lots on Highway 96.

[11:09] And all of those things I listed that Hollow— that the Hollow is without.

[11:14] Each of us in the Hollow have chosen rural living as our quality of life,

[11:19] and we have a right to maintain that quality of life.

[11:23] Thank you.

[11:24] that we as property owners have invested so much money, time,

[11:28] and effort in creating. We don't want development encroaching on our way of

[11:33] development encroaching on our way of life.

[11:33] So for all of these reasons,

[11:35] I'm opposed to a subdivision that runs onto Burke Hollow Road.

[11:39] Thank you for your time and for your service to the town.

[11:43] Thank you. Anyone else for citizen comments that did not have the opportunity

[11:48] comments that did not have the opportunity to

[11:48] sign up? The next item on the agenda is an announcement and report from our town

[11:54] manager.

[11:54] The first thing that we need to look at with regard to this is the,

[11:59] the Resolution 260-90.

[12:01] It was a resolution to,

[12:03] to basically renew the interlocal agreement between Williamson County and

[12:08] agreement between Williamson County and Town of

[12:09] Nolensville for the firefighting services that we provide.

[12:13] It's basically a reimbursement for the firefighting services that we provide.

[12:19] They sent that to us last week and said, oh, we need to get this renewed.

[12:24] So that's why it was not on your work session agenda.

[12:28] It actually did expire at the end of— or right at the beginning of July.

[12:34] So, um, this is something that We need to move—

[12:37] if you all are still okay with the agreement that we developed with the

[12:43] agreement that we developed with the county.

[12:43] So this is something that we would need to renew, put back in place.

[12:49] And basically what it does is gives us a reimbursement every time our trucks roll

[12:55] and go into the county.

[12:56] Where would you like to move it to the agenda?

[12:59] You can move it in even as the last item of the agenda if you want to.

[13:04] That's not a problem with me.

[13:06] We just—

[13:07] it's just something that we need to address.

[13:08] So you want it under new but 11?

[13:14] Yeah, you could put it as 11.

[13:16] Okay, motion to move, uh,

[13:19] Resolution 26-090 to now be part of new

[13:23] business item 11.

[13:25] Second.

[13:26] Any discussion on the motion to move Resolution

[13:30] 26-090? All in favor of the motion signify by saying

[13:35] aye.

[13:35] Aye.

[13:36] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[13:38] Second thing that I wanted to address tonight is, um, we just saw our,

[13:43] our chief do a pinning ceremony, and, and tonight is our chief's last hours with us.

[13:50] Uh, today was his last official day,

[13:53] and he has taken a job as chief up in I've forgotten the county name, uh, the, uh,

[13:59] um, Reno Township. Exactly, in Michigan, uh, back going— being able to go back

[14:05] uh, back going— being able to go back home.

[14:05] And, uh, and I think just as we heard the last speaker made a choice to go back

[14:11] home, that's always a great thing when, when someone's able to do that.

[14:17] And, uh, so congratulations on being able to To get back to your, your home area.

[14:23] Uh, when Matthew joined us in, I think, 2021, spring of 2021, um,

[14:28] we didn't know him that well.

[14:31] David knew him, I guess, a little bit, but, but he had, uh,

[14:35] he came with great credentials.

[14:38] And while he was with us,

[14:39] Matthew completed his master's degree and then also executive fire school.

[14:45] Is that a fire officer school? Uh, with us.

[14:49] Yeah.

[14:49] And has just excelled.

[14:51] And he was our first fire marshal,

[14:54] did an outstanding job in setting up that program,

[14:59] and has done very well as our chief after David left.

[15:04] And so he's definitely going to be missed.

[15:08] But Matthew, just want to say thank you so much for all the contributions

[15:15] you have made to the town of Nolensville.

[15:19] And you can probably just come on up here because we're going to get a

[15:26] picture with you on your last, your last night.

[15:30] Oh, she loves this.

[15:32] Well, you put that resolution at the very end so I'm here the whole time.

[15:36] There was a reason.

[16:01] All right, I'll go first and then Katie can

[16:06] do hers, even though ladies should go first.

[16:12] Ready? 1, 2, 3.

[16:15] Perfect.

[16:16] 1, 2, 3.

[16:20] Okay, thank you.

[16:44] I would add to that announcement that we have asked Captain Weingart to kind of

[16:49] have asked Captain Weingart to kind of step

[16:50] up and be our interim chief as we go through the process of selecting the new

[16:55] through the process of selecting the new chief.

[16:55] So we'll have Adam as the one that we will be reaching out to to work through things

[17:01] on the day-to-day basis. He'll still And have to command his shift and what all.

[17:07] So it's, uh, it's, it's, it's big double duty, but, uh,

[17:10] they have kind of spread the workload out so that it's not overwhelming.

[17:15] Hopefully won't be overwhelming on him alone.

[17:19] Uh, uh, we sure would appreciate that administrative assistant sooner than

[17:24] administrative assistant sooner than later.

[17:24] Um, so anyway, uh, we're looking forward to a, a good process.

[17:28] Kelly has already been reaching out to MTAS to get that process put into place.

[17:34] And I think— did we get that advertised this morning?

[17:38] So the position's posted tomorrow. So, um, anyway, so congratulations, Matthew.

[17:43] Congratulations, and thank you, Adam, as well.

[17:48] That's all I've got.

[17:48] Thank you, Victor. The next item on the agenda is our report from the town

[17:54] agenda is our report from the town attorney.

[17:57] The impact fee oral argument was held yesterday.

[18:01] We should expect a ruling sometime in the next 3 to 9 months,

[18:05] hopefully on the shorter side of that.

[18:09] And the Lamar billboard argument in trial court is set for August 11th.

[18:14] Okay. The next item on the agenda is our consent agenda.

[18:18] Before we vote on the consent agenda,

[18:20] I do want to note that the fire department report will be updated on the agenda

[18:26] because the report that is there is not actually the report.

[18:30] I guess I should have asked this before we started.

[18:33] Does that need to be pulled from the consent agenda and considered separately

[18:38] consent agenda and considered separately since

[18:39] it has to be updated?

[18:40] Okay, so we'll pull the fire department report from the consent agenda.

[18:45] Is there a motion for the consent agenda minus the fire department report?

[18:50] So moved.

[18:51] Second.

[18:52] All in favor of the consent agenda signify by saying aye.

[18:55] Aye.

[18:55] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[18:58] So Matthew sent an updated fire department report, um, just before,

[19:03] just before the meeting.

[19:04] It is the standard report,

[19:06] but there was just an error with December numbers on the previous one,

[19:11] and then I think it said April as the subject line.

[19:14] So does anyone have any questions on the updated fire department report?

[19:19] All in favor of the fire department report signify by saying aye.

[19:23] Aye.

[19:24] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[19:27] The next item on the agenda is unfinished business.

[19:31] Item 1, second reading of Ordinance 26-09,

[19:34] an ordinance amending the zoning map of Nolensville,

[19:38] Tennessee to rezone properties referenced as Map 058, Parcel 08400, Map 059,

[19:44] Parcel 07100, and Map 059,

[19:47] Parcel 07101 in the Williamson County tax maps from Municipal Growth Area—

[19:52] Municipal Area District 1, MGA-1, to Rural Character District CD-2,

[19:58] Williams property. Is there a motion?

[20:01] Second.

[20:03] We have a motion and a second. Any discussion for second reading of Ordinance

[20:08] discussion for second reading of Ordinance 26-09?

[20:09] This item has been discussed at length, so I don't want to belabor the point,

[20:14] but this particular property I think is important to at least have some discussion

[20:20] with the vote in that it is a key property in Nolensville's urban growth boundary

[20:26] that has been a planned future area for literally decades.

[20:30] With the east-west connector, that's a future major thoroughfare.

[20:34] There's a piece of this property from Nolensville Road at Williams to

[20:39] Nolensville Road at Williams to Clovercroft at

[20:40] Williams that would be a significant piece of that east-west connector for the

[20:45] portion that passes through Nolensville, not to mention future,

[20:50] future commercial area that would be expected to be part of this.

[20:54] While this annexation really is a one-to-one annexation from what is zoned

[21:00] one-to-one annexation from what is zoned in the

[21:00] county. The prep— what precipitated this, to my knowledge,

[21:04] was action by Williamson County to petition the legislature to no longer give

[21:09] petition the legislature to no longer give us the

[21:10] authority to annex things that were in the urban growth boundary without approval

[21:16] from Williamson County.

[21:17] So the town did not go looking to annex this piece of property or the other one

[21:23] that's on the agenda, but we have to consider what is before us.

[21:27] And so I'm still in favor of annexation.

[21:30] Thank you.

[21:31] But do think there should be some information shared as part of the vote.

[21:35] Any other discussion for second reading of Ordinance 26-09?

[21:38] I'll just make a quick comment here. I am not opposed to this annexation.

[21:43] I think given the history we have with this property,

[21:46] I think it's important for us to realize that when we start down this path,

[21:51] we are now responsible for Williams Road as a part of the transportation plan and

[21:56] what that means. And so that is something we,

[21:58] we currently and future boards will need to consider when we talk about budgeting

[22:03] for road improvements, widening, expansions, things like that.

[22:08] So any other discussion for Ordinance 26-09?

[22:12] Mayor, I appreciate your commentary as well as that of Commissioner Struford,

[22:17] and we have discussed this at length at several public meetings, More recently,

[22:21] of course, at our workshop leading up to this month's voting meeting.

[22:25] But I think what you said was on target.

[22:27] It bears referencing, if not repeating the entire dialogue,

[22:31] because this is a significant part of Nolensville's plans for decades now.

[22:35] It is in our urban growth boundary that's just right there on the cusp of our,

[22:40] of our present corporate boundaries.

[22:42] And yeah, the, the county put us all in a kind of On notice last year when they

[22:46] decided to unilaterally move forward with trying to get our legislature to change

[22:51] the state statute that would have withdrawn from our body the ability to

[22:55] withdrawn from our body the ability to annex

[22:56] properties without consent of the county.

[22:58] So this is a necessary move for a host of reasons,

[23:01] and that's being one of them for sure.

[23:03] And I appreciate the mayor for pointing that out.

[23:06] I believe we ought to move forward tonight and do, do what we've already discussed,

[23:11] but I think the public visiting with us tonight,

[23:14] as well as might be joining us by livestream,

[23:16] deserve to hear exactly what we've discussed in the past and just reference

[23:21] discussed in the past and just reference those

[23:21] conversations.

[23:22] Thank you. Any other discussion for Ordinance 26-09?

[23:26] All in favor signify by saying aye.

[23:30] Aye.

[23:31] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[23:34] The next item is Resolution 26-044,

[23:36] a resolution annexing certain territory upon written consent of the owners and to

[24:11] Is there a motion?

[24:12] Motion to approve.

[24:13] Second.

[24:14] We have a motion and a second.

[24:15] Any discussion for this resolution that is also paired with the ordinance that we

[24:20] just discussed? All in favor of the resolution signify by saying aye.

[24:24] Aye.

[24:25] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[24:28] The next item on the agenda is second reading of Ordinance 26-10,

[24:51] 1, MGA-1, to Rural Character District CD-2, Vance Lake. Is there a motion?

[24:56] Motion to approve.

[24:57] Second.

[24:58] We have a motion and a second from Commissioner Carpenter.

[25:01] Any discussion for second reading of Ordinance 26-10?

[25:08] Mayor and Commissioners,

[25:09] we've had this discussion again in similarity to the Williams property.

[25:13] I think what's important, and this does apply to the Williams property as well,

[25:18] is we do need to look a little bit deeper at the zoning to allow a little bit more

[25:22] flexibility. I know we're in the process of that right now,

[25:25] but I think it's important for us to consider some additional flexibility to

[25:29] consider some additional flexibility to allow

[25:30] the town to get a product that they want as well as the developers who are part of

[25:34] this process to get what they want as well.

[25:36] So a couple comments about the Vance-Lyke property.

[25:40] When we started, these 2 annexations came together but started about a month apart.

[25:45] I have expressed support previously of continuous annexation.

[25:50] The Vance-Lyke property is continuous— is contiguous Outside.

[25:54] I think I said continuous the first time too. I meant to say contiguous.

[25:59] I have expressed support of contiguous annexation that does not unnecessarily

[26:04] increase density just for the sake of increasing density.

[26:08] There have been annexation requests that the board, including myself,

[26:12] have voted against. With the Van Slyke property, there's been several challenges,

[26:18] one of which is, is how far south it goes.

[26:21] I think the challenge for the town of Nolensville and the services that we

[26:26] Nolensville and the services that we provide

[26:26] is an interlocal agreement that we will consider at the end of this agenda.

[26:31] And it's something where we provide fire service to unincorporated Williamson

[26:37] service to unincorporated Williamson County

[26:37] down to our urban growth boundary.

[26:39] That's not an exact mark of the line, but down Birkhollow,

[26:43] we actually provide fire service even though the people that live on Birkhollow

[26:49] though the people that live on Birkhollow do

[26:49] not pay taxes.

[26:50] Okay.

[26:50] to the Town of Nolensville.

[26:52] It's the same for Silverstream, and it's also the same south to,

[26:57] to the Vance Lake property.

[26:59] And so I think that presents an interesting conundrum for the town,

[27:04] because if we're providing services without the corresponding way that we pay

[27:09] without the corresponding way that we pay for

[27:10] those services, that, that's an issue.

[27:12] If these annexations were increasing density outside of what it was already

[27:18] density outside of what it was already zoned in

[27:18] Williamson County, I would have concern for that.

[27:22] But this falls into the same category for me as the Williams annexation.

[27:27] I think it's unfortunate that the town is,

[27:30] is being tasked to annex close to 600 acres tonight.

[27:34] I mean, this is quite possibly the most total acreage of annexations that the town

[27:40] has done in any one night that I'm aware of,

[27:43] certainly in the last almost 6 years that I've I've been on the board.

[27:49] But it still is a fact that if we're going to continue to have to service these

[27:54] areas for fire service, it makes sense for us to annex in our urban growth boundary,

[28:01] especially when those annexations are essentially a one-for-one for, um,

[28:06] what could be developed in, in the county.

[28:09] One other thing is that this property does not have sewer capacity.

[28:14] Neither does the Williams property.

[28:16] So just because there's an annexation does not mean that there will be development

[28:22] anytime soon because we don't have sewer capacity from Metro.

[28:27] So I am still in support of the annexation of the Vance Lake property,

[28:32] which as of the last ordinance is now a contiguous annexation within Nolensville's

[28:38] municipal boundaries. Any other discussion?

[28:41] All in favor of second reading of Ordinance 26-10, signify by saying aye.

[31:00] we will be presenting some further amendment to you at the upcoming work

[31:06] amendment to you at the upcoming work session.

[31:06] So keep an open perspective on that.

[31:09] We're doing our best to streamline fees as we implement our online portal system.

[31:21] Yes.

[33:09] So I did contact all of the current members

[33:27] Any other discussion for Resolution 26-078?

[33:32] All in favor signify by saying aye.

[33:35] Aye.

[33:47] Motion to approve.

[33:48] Second.

[33:49] It's yours.

[33:51] Motion and a second by Commissioner Gill.

[33:55] That's—

[33:55] we have a lot of ties tonight.

[33:57] I'm telling you.

[34:02] And Victor is wearing a tie. That is, that is true.

[34:05] So is Captain Weingarten.

[34:06] This is a serious event.

[34:09] Listen, this could be the chief's last time. Does that mean we give him a hard

[34:14] time. Does that mean we give him a hard time?

[34:14] I'm just here for questions if you have any questions.

[34:17] Do you want to share anything?

[34:20] Who do you think you are? Leaving us now.

[34:24] I'm just following Chuck's example up here.

[34:27] Just standing, standing waiting.

[34:31] Okay.

[34:32] All right. Any discussion on Resolution 26-082?

[34:34] Oh, Chuck said—

[34:35] did you have a question?

[34:36] No.

[34:37] So just to clarify here, sorry, the plan is to purchase the truck,

[34:42] then outfit with equipment?

[34:44] Yes.

[34:44] Correct.

[34:45] Okay.

[34:45] Thank you.

[34:46] And I think it bears repeating.

[34:48] Of course, the funding for this is coming from fire impact fees.

[34:53] Thank you.

[34:54] Any other burning questions for Chief Lupo?

[34:59] Oh, I see what you did there. Burning questions. I see.

[35:02] Like, it's not as good as Victor's dad jokes, but I'm trying.

[35:04] I don't know, Mayor, you used conundrum earlier tonight. I'm— I was impressed.

[35:08] I mean, you used ameliorate last week.

[35:12] And we— before we got underway,

[35:13] the vice mayor and I discussed the meaning of the term eleemosynary.

[35:18] That's a new one.

[35:19] Anyway, I guess we ought to vote now.

[35:21] All right, all in favor of Resolution 26-082 signify by saying aye.

[35:28] Aye.

[35:28] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously. The next— thank you, Chief Lupo.

[35:32] The next item on the agenda is Resolution 26-084,

[35:34] a resolution expressing support for the development of a pavilion on the Greystone

[35:38] Park property in partnership with Friends of Nolensville Parks.

[35:42] Motion to approve.

[35:42] Second.

[35:43] We have a motion to approve by Commissioner Carpenter. Was there another

[35:47] Commissioner Carpenter. Was there another tie?

[35:47] No.

[35:48] And a second by Commissioner Gill. Any discussion for Resolution 26-084?

[35:53] Can I just ask for confirmation?

[35:56] Um, so I know that Victor— there was a question raised about the pad,

[36:00] and so I know pricing came to all of us about the cost of the pad.

[36:04] One of the questions I had asked was,

[36:07] is that something that you all are hopeful to Correct.

[36:10] And I just wanted to confirm that that was an actual—

[36:14] You are using the word hopeful. Would you like to specify?

[36:18] When we had talked about it, it seemed like there was slight confusion over the

[36:22] like there was slight confusion over the pad,

[36:22] so I just wanted to confirm that the question—

[36:25] It is my understanding that we will be funding it.

[36:27] Perfect. Thank you.

[36:28] That is all I wanted.

[36:28] Can I get the pricing information that y'all got? I also got some.

[36:31] We can exchange notes.

[36:32] I think it was sent today.

[36:33] Oh, okay.

[36:34] Great.

[36:35] We can exchange notes.

[36:36] I will forward you the email that I sent.

[36:38] Thank you.

[36:40] All right, any other discussion for Resolution 26-084?

[36:43] All in favor signify by saying aye.

[36:46] Aye.

[36:46] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[36:50] The next item is Resolution 26-087,

[36:53] a resolution to approve TDOT Statewide Partnership Program Agreement contract

[36:59] Partnership Program Agreement contract number

[37:00] 260105 for Nolensville Road Widening Project, PIN 133919.00.

[37:05] US 31A, US 41A, State Route 11. Is there a motion?

[37:09] Motion to approve.

[37:10] Second.

[37:11] We have a motion and a second. Any discussion for Resolution 26-087?

[37:16] I just think somebody needs to talk about the significance of what this is.

[37:23] The Nolensville Road— does anybody else want to go into it? I mean, I can.

[37:31] No, Haley.

[37:34] Um, you know, Commissioner Carpenter really likes it when I repeat the same

[37:38] really likes it when I repeat the same things

[37:39] over and over again,

[37:40] so I'll start off by saying I'm most likely to get yelled at over Nolensville

[37:45] likely to get yelled at over Nolensville Road.

[37:45] And actually, during the election,

[37:47] I had a woman walk up to me and ask who was the mayor of Nolensville because she

[37:52] really wanted to punch him in the face.

[37:55] And it was over traffic, and she actually was very kind in the end.

[37:59] But Nolensville Road, I think,

[38:01] is the undisputed issue within our community with 1 North-South, um,

[38:05] 1 North-South Road. I think this board was very, uh,

[38:08] proactive in the approach that we took to apply for the Statewide Partnership

[38:13] Program. It is the only way that TDOT has identified how to get state routes onto

[38:18] their 10-year list. So with that application that was submitted on behalf

[38:23] application that was submitted on behalf of the

[38:23] Town of Nolensville We have already submitted a check for—

[38:27] or are in short order submitting a check for $500,000 for the design and then have

[38:32] this contract to move forward with that will start the process for widening

[38:37] Nolensville Road. I think it's important for the community to understand that even

[38:42] though we're on the 10-year list, it does not mean construction will start tomorrow.

[38:47] It actually means construction will start in 10 years.

[38:51] That is very painful for, I think, anybody that is along Nolensville Road daily,

[38:56] as many of us are. But it is a step,

[38:58] and it is one of very few projects across the state that were added to the list.

[39:03] It is not a— it is not something that every community is able to say that they

[39:08] every community is able to say that they got

[39:08] their state road added to the 10-year list.

[39:11] So I am very proud of us being on this list,

[39:13] and I hope I believe the rest of the board is. I hope the community is as well.

[39:18] It is, it is a big commitment.

[39:20] The scary part of that commitment is the financial commitment.

[39:24] We initially proposed $10.5 million as our contribution.

[39:28] That is not how TDOT operates.

[39:30] TDOT operates where they will give a specific amount and you have to fund any

[39:34] overages. So I, I think it's incumbent upon us as an organization with staff to

[39:39] upon us as an organization with staff to work

[39:40] very closely with TDOT to try to keep this project within scope, within budget,

[39:45] because it is a significant financial contribution.

[39:48] It's almost equal to one year's operational budget for the Town of

[39:52] operational budget for the Town of Nolensville,

[39:53] and when it was submitted, it was closer to it than what the budget is for '71.

[39:58] So I think that we should move forward with this.

[40:01] I think Nolensville Road has always been a key for economic development.

[40:05] Our businesses need to be able to have— I think that's a great point.

[40:10] cars be able to come to them to visit them.

[40:12] It's also quality of life for the citizens of Nolensville.

[40:16] So I hope the board will continue to support Resolution 26-087.

[40:20] Oh, I haven't said much tonight, so now is my chance.

[40:24] Um, I, uh, I'll just say that I think we have a lot on our plate right now.

[40:30] We have a lot of competing Needs that are not something that we can just push aside.

[40:37] And I think that this project is, is going to be the,

[40:41] the biggest of those things in terms of longevity,

[40:46] in terms of how we will remember our time up here.

[40:50] Road projects— and I know this goes without saying,

[40:54] but there's an economic factor to this.

[40:57] Um, our town is rapidly growing and we are getting more commercial,

[41:02] and I know we all desire even more commercial.

[41:06] People have— like the mayor said, people have to have a way to get there.

[41:12] And one of the things that— I said this at the last meeting—

[41:17] but one of the things that I heard a lot over the last couple years was that

[41:23] employees are hard to retain because they don't want to drive down Nolensville Road.

[41:30] Right.

[41:31] Customers are switching to online ordering, which thankfully we still get

[41:37] ordering, which thankfully we still get the,

[41:37] the benefit of that.

[41:38] But if we want to, to continue to support our businesses, to support our people,

[41:45] this is, this is the best thing that we can do.

[41:48] And speaking from a position of, in my professional life,

[41:52] seeing a lot of these projects, getting on this list is huge.

[41:57] And it's It's really the only way that this is going to happen.

[42:02] And so yes, the dollar figure is big,

[42:05] but we've taken small steps this last budget cycle to,

[42:09] to start getting to a place where we, we will be ready when TDOT calls.

[42:14] And so I'm actually really proud that I'm up here and able to vote on this because I

[42:21] think it's going to be— Thank you.

[42:30] Please.

[42:30] Oh, no.

[42:31] Mayor, I will say that what you and Commissioner Carpenter offered tonight is

[42:36] Commissioner Carpenter offered tonight is right

[42:36] on point. And I remember the night that we sat at this desk and we had to hash out

[42:42] what would be our contribution to this.

[42:44] And we, we can't discuss this outside of this room, nor should we be.

[42:49] And everything we do is in the public eye and we had to exchange ideas.

[42:53] And why do we think this figure might work better than that?

[42:57] And we came to the $10.5 million figure.

[43:00] And one thing I will just share with all of my neighbors across Nolensville,

[43:05] this is TDOT's program.

[43:06] This is the way they have chosen to run their, their business.

[43:10] And it's a 10-year plan. Nolensville was not on it a year ago, but we are now.

[43:15] And it's pay to play.

[43:16] Okay.

[43:17] We had to pony up some. And Victor, thank you for keeping it on the forefront.

[43:21] Thank you for keeping it where we would be acting on it.

[43:24] Mayor, I've had a brief conversation with our state senator who happens to be the

[43:28] majority leader of the state Senate, Jack Johnson.

[43:31] This is before the TDOT gave us the word that we were on the list.

[43:35] And he said to me, he goes, hey,

[43:36] I saw Haley the other day and I told her that was huge what y'all did,

[43:40] the vote y'all took to add $10.5 million. I'm like, really?

[43:43] Yeah.

[43:44] Okay, good. Maybe we'll get some good news.

[43:46] And surely enough, like 3 or 4 weeks later, we got the—

[43:49] we got the news we were on the list.

[43:50] It is going to be a decade away, but if we don't start doing it now,

[43:54] it'll be 2 decades away before anything might change for our people.

[43:57] And the quality of life for the—

[43:59] for the people that call Nolensville home would not be impacted unless we took the

[44:03] steps we— we took. So we ought to say thank you, um,

[44:05] to the taxpayers that are going to be financing this when it—

[44:08] when the bill comes due. The taxpayers know we're going to be doing it.

[44:12] But if I can also say thanks to each of my colleagues,

[44:14] I hope the people of Nolens will see that in this specific vote and hopefully other

[44:18] votes we've been doing,

[44:19] that we are trying to do the people's business and do it well and do it

[44:23] business and do it well and do it thoughtfully

[44:23] up here. And we're acting collegially,

[44:25] but we're also diving into the details because that's how we arrived at that

[44:29] because that's how we arrived at that $10.5

[44:29] million figure. We dove into the details.

[44:31] And lastly, the mayor referenced the dear lady who was at the polling place.

[44:35] As I recall, Commissioner Carpenter and I were standing nearby And I offered,

[44:39] I said, Haley, do you want me to tell her that Jake McCalmon's the mayor of

[44:42] Nolensville? And she goes, nope, I got this.

[44:45] So good on you for taking it what it was.

[44:47] But, um, I was going to send her to say—

[44:48] I was going to point towards State Representative Jake McCalmon and say,

[44:52] that's the mayor of Nolensville right there, lady. Go talk to him about that.

[44:56] But no, Haley stood up and took it. So thank you to everybody in this matter.

[44:59] All right. Any other discussion for Resolution 26-087?

[45:49] Park project and commitment to initiate budget amendment to fund a portion of

[45:54] construction costs not covered by LPRF grant. Is there a motion?

[45:57] Motion to approve.

[45:58] Second.

[45:59] We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? All in favor signify by saying

[46:06] discussion? All in favor signify by saying aye.

[46:06] Aye.

[46:07] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

[46:10] That takes us to item 11, which is Resolution 20— uh, 26-090,

[46:14] a resolution to approve the interlocal agreement between Williamson County,

[46:19] Tennessee, and the Town of Nolensville for the provision of firefighting Services.

[46:24] Is there a motion? Motion to approve. Is there a second?

[46:28] Second.

[46:29] With a motion and a second, any discussion?

[46:31] Chief Lopu, I'm so glad you get to come up again.

[46:34] I feel like we really have to make sure that, that, uh,

[46:37] apparently Vice Mayor Salamita wanted to make sure you were here to the bitter end

[46:41] of the meeting.

[46:42] Yes.

[46:43] Commissioner Strieper, did you have questions?

[46:47] Pace has been acceptable.

[46:49] I already packed my razor, so I didn't get the chance to shave,

[46:52] so I apologize for that.

[46:53] So just to be clear,

[46:55] and I want this to be clear for everyone, Victor,

[47:00] you said this was just sent to us last week?

[47:03] Correct.

[47:05] Relatively soon.

[47:05] So I think that was— to me, that's the only surprise in this,

[47:10] is if it does lapse in July, are we not tracking that?

[47:13] Are we waiting for them to call us?

[47:16] I just— my concern is, was there a legitimate lapse in cross-service?

[47:21] It was waiting on them for them to vote on it from their aspect.

[47:25] It is just a continuation of the exact same agreement we had in place,

[47:29] and as long as we get it resolved on our end before October 1st,

[47:33] which would be our next submittal for payment, then, then they're good.

[47:38] Okay.

[47:39] I— as we deal with our own short-staffed,

[47:41] it's even more important and critical to have this agreement in place.

[47:45] So I just want to make sure we weren't putting ourselves at risk or our residents

[47:50] putting ourselves at risk or our residents at

[47:50] risk at all.

[47:51] So, okay.

[47:51] So within the original agreement—

[47:54] so what's on our agenda is the addendum to the agreement,

[47:58] but in the original agreement there is the provision for $250 per call.

[48:03] Yes.

[48:04] For every other agreement we have with Williamson County For example,

[48:09] animal control and E911 services, they are done per capita.

[48:13] So the total cost of the service is added up,

[48:16] and then if there's 17,000 people in Nolensville and there's increases in

[48:20] population, there's an increase in the amount that we pay to Williamson County.

[48:26] This agreement is not done that way,

[48:28] and I do understand that Fairview implemented a similar agreement last year

[48:33] implemented a similar agreement last year They're

[48:34] in a similar situation where they have use—

[48:36] our second station is tied to this agreement and is the Williamson County

[48:41] agreement and is the Williamson County building

[48:42] at the corner, kind of the corner of Clovercroft and Nolensville Road.

[48:46] Um, can we talk a little bit about the $250 per call,

[48:50] which the updated fire report that came in earlier tonight for the year from

[48:55] Williamson County for about 21% of our total calls going into Williamson County

[49:00] Equals out to about $35,000 a year.

[49:02] It's about 70.

[49:04] So that report that, um,

[49:06] for the June 2026 said that their year-to-date

[49:11] was, uh, 142 calls.

[49:13] It's a January to December year looking at from that aspect.

[49:18] Okay, so it is closer to 70.

[49:20] Yes.

[49:20] Um, still with an annual operating budget.

[49:23] And this is no surprise because this is the exact same stuff that I said last

[49:28] the exact same stuff that I said last time.

[49:28] I'm going to vote in support of the agreement, so Spoiler alert.

[49:32] But I think it's valid that we have to make sure that we are negotiating what the

[49:38] cost per call is and make sure that if the cost that we pay to Williamson County for

[49:43] other services goes up each year, which it has,

[49:46] that we're looking at that for this agreement as well.

[49:50] With the timing of this, I,

[49:51] I'm just curious what kind of negotiations were included with Williamson County on

[49:57] the, the cost per call.

[49:58] And, you know, we're kind of just now getting final reports,

[50:02] which is normal time frame for us to get final reports for,

[50:06] for June for looking at full fiscal year.

[50:09] But how are we evaluating that for the cost of— for the town of Nolensville?

[50:13] Our intent was to basically continue this into this next year,

[50:17] and then we would be reevaluating probably early in 2027 to see how—

[50:22] just have discussion with the county.

[50:24] So then the next time we up our agreement for July,

[50:28] that would be where that discussion would come in prior to that.

[50:32] So by July, hopefully, of 2027, if we had to adjust those numbers,

[50:36] that's when it would take place.

[50:38] So the, the adjustment, or the way that the numbers were developed to begin with,

[50:44] we did them— we looked at it 2 ways.

[50:47] First of all, we We did an empirical dive into what we think it costs us to make

[50:52] that run, provide that service.

[50:55] And we came up with a dollar figure on like a—

[50:58] on what a call would take if it was an hour-long call or something like that.

[51:03] And then we turned around and looked at FEMA reimbursement rates.

[51:08] What if we are working on a project that's Or there's an agreement that FEMA will

[51:14] reimburse us or a city will reimburse us for the rates.

[51:18] And what we came out with amazingly is those numbers were very close.

[51:23] And so this particular number I think reflects the FEMA reimbursement rate for

[51:28] reflects the FEMA reimbursement rate for that—

[51:29] for the apparatus that's going out.

[51:31] So FEMA reimbursement rates are not operational reimbursement rates though.

[51:36] That to me has been the consistent challenge with the arrangement that I

[51:41] challenge with the arrangement that I still want

[51:41] to publicly voice as a long-term concern.

[51:44] I'm also curious if, because we have 2 neighborhoods that are in our fire

[51:48] neighborhoods that are in our fire district,

[51:49] one being Silver Stream and the other being The Farm,

[51:52] if there's been any review of like— and I don't even know if these are legal,

[51:57] but like subscription-based services.

[52:00] I know there are other communities that do that.

[52:03] Yes.

[52:04] How have we explored those types of models to ensure that as the demand for services

[52:10] within the town of Nolensville goes up,

[52:13] that we are first and foremost serving the town of Nolensville taxpayers?

[52:19] Last year, the, the tax rate increased to, to cover costs for service,

[52:24] and I think it's important for us to to make sure that we're evaluating that.

[52:29] This wasn't on our workshop,

[52:31] so I didn't have the benefit of asking these questions in a workshop,

[52:36] but I do think it's important for us not to just rubber stamp everything that comes

[52:42] through and to have those discussions.

[52:45] Well, I can tell you that we have not evaluated a subscription service piece

[52:51] evaluated a subscription service piece yet,

[52:51] but when we set this in place We were looking— we were already,

[52:56] because of the dynamic that we had with the county in utilizing their building,

[53:02] we were already making those responses.

[53:05] We were looking at basically trying to, as far as the service territory,

[53:11] trying to keep the operations like they were and then get reimbursed for what it

[53:17] were and then get reimbursed for what it was

[53:17] costing us. And yes, we're using FEMA rates.

[53:21] Okay.

[53:21] But those FEMA rates mirrored what our operational costs would be.

[53:26] No, we haven't put in a 2% add-on for cost of living or something for this

[53:31] particular year to try to renegotiate that for this year.

[53:35] But as Chief Lupo said,

[53:37] it is our intent to do that in the upcoming contract by starting that

[53:42] upcoming contract by starting that dialogue soon

[53:43] and start— And I think that's a good point.

[53:46] Seeing what, what changes do we need to make going forward.

[53:51] And if anything, our,

[53:53] our numbers running into the county are going to be well under the hour per

[53:58] call based on the type of the call types we run out there.

[54:01] It's mainly medical, right?

[54:03] Yeah, medical, car wrecks, those sorts of things.

[54:05] I might ask my colleagues if there's any appetite.

[54:08] I'm aligned with what the mayor said about us ensuring that we're getting We're

[54:12] protecting the, the treasury of the taxpayers of Nolensville first, foremost,

[54:17] and always. We also want to be good partners to our neighbors that reside in

[54:21] partners to our neighbors that reside in the

[54:21] county. But I believe I heard Chief Lupo say that as long as we get something done

[54:26] ahead of October 1st, that's when we're going to submit our next bill to the

[54:30] going to submit our next bill to the county,

[54:30] we should be okay, right?

[54:32] Yes.

[54:32] Well, that being considered,

[54:34] is there any appetite on this board to perhaps let's table this until we take it

[54:38] perhaps let's table this until we take it up

[54:38] at our next work session to give Victor and his team a chance to perhaps come back

[54:43] with some better numbers, uh, or should we move forward tonight?

[54:47] I just want to kind of poll everybody, see, does that make sense?

[54:51] If we've got time to do it, perhaps that's what we're going to do.

[54:54] I think there's 2 components you have to look at,

[54:57] and I think what Chief Lupo is saying is valid,

[54:59] that from the submittal of the reimbursement—

[55:02] but this interlocal agreement is actually the legal authority we have to serve in

[55:06] the county. And so in order for us to I'm not the attorney.

[55:09] Charles, do you want to step in?

[55:10] Well, you asked me and I said yes.

[55:14] Uh, yeah, the interlocal agreement should be, uh, put back in effect, I guess. Okay.

[55:18] It should have been July 1st.

[55:20] I mean, like, realistically,

[55:21] we need to not do this a month late because it is the legal authority to

[55:25] because it is the legal authority to continue to

[55:26] do it.

[55:27] It does.

[55:28] But you could change the time frame. I mean, like, if you— if you—

[55:32] so to answer your question, no,

[55:34] I'm ready to move forward with the interlocal agreement.

[55:37] And we've had this discussion multiple times,

[55:40] and I can appreciate where you're coming from, and it's the charge-out,

[55:44] an expense that is covering the operational costs, and I can respect that.

[55:48] We're going to the call either way.

[55:51] We are making the support for these calls that are coming in.

[55:54] Now we have somewhat of a reward, if you will, in being paid the $250.

[55:58] So to answer your question, no, I'm ready to move forward.

[56:02] I think prolonging this could potentially get into those fees that we need to bill

[56:06] out for and an error on our side of not being able to collect those.

[56:10] And so my answer would be ready to move forward and give a yes to move forward.

[56:15] So to the Vice Mayor's point,

[56:18] what leverage do we have to actually negotiate?

[56:22] Because My understanding is that, like Silver Streams for example,

[56:29] if we don't have an agreement, who responds if there's a fire?

[56:34] Most likely we're still going to get called out, right?

[56:38] So I understand the, the mayor's point.

[56:41] I actually think we should look into and get a better rate if, if that is possible.

[56:47] And so my genuine question is, what leverage do we have?

[56:52] Because it seems like We're responsible regardless,

[56:56] and having the agreement just simply gets us a little bit of, um, not revenue,

[57:02] but something for that.

[57:04] County's been very cooperative working with us on this, and they've, you know,

[57:09] from the very beginning they've said they're open to renegotiating and looking

[57:13] they're open to renegotiating and looking at

[57:13] these numbers again in the future.

[57:15] Um, this— to answer for the subscription service,

[57:18] the problem with that is it would still leave county residents without fire

[57:23] protection, which would then leverage the county to reopen the volunteer station up,

[57:28] which would then relocate us out of there,

[57:30] which would have an effect on our ISO by losing that station.

[57:34] So there's logistical stuff with that tracking who is a subscriber, who isn't.

[57:38] So I would, I'd be opposed to that in my last day.

[57:41] Good. I choked up. Because it's your last day.

[57:45] Um, okay, so I do think there's, there's value in getting— it's not time, you know,

[57:52] pressing, but getting some kind of, uh,

[57:55] evaluation or a staff report or something that can help us understand if,

[58:01] if we need to negotiate for a higher rate.

[58:04] Like the mayor said, before, before July 1st date.

[58:08] Um, I mean, I would like to see it much sooner than later, but I,

[58:14] I would like to see something like that. I think it's worth looking into.

[58:20] We're looking into other fees and, and whatnot, and so, you know,

[58:25] staff can do with that as they may unless the board also feels strongly about that

[58:32] as well.

[58:33] But—

[58:33] I think one of the things that we could do, uh, Commissioner Carpenter,

[58:37] is take a look at the data that Uh, for the runs, the,

[58:41] the 142 calls that have been since January, I think, take a look at those.

[58:46] Uh, they do have the, the time in, time out, time back.

[58:49] Yes.

[58:49] So we would know how much time are we spending on those calls.

[58:53] And then we can take a look at those individually and then collectively to say,

[58:58] okay, well, did that call cost us $250 that we got for?

[59:02] Uh, so at the end of the, at the end of that 6-month period, Are we good?

[59:06] Are we under? You know, and,

[59:08] and that will dictate whether or not it has covered our operational costs.

[59:12] And as I understand it, just correct me if I am way off here,

[59:17] but as I understand it,

[59:18] all calls that we've made out to county have not been met with a,

[59:23] a call that we have not been able to serve our residents. Is that correct?

[59:28] Correct. We, we Most are definitely medical and car wrecks.

[59:32] Most of our calls out in the county are a single unit response,

[59:36] so most of our duplicates or overlapping calls after that,

[59:40] we still have a unit available in the town.

[59:42] Thank you.

[59:46] And it's always the secondary unit that responds, is that correct?

[59:49] Yeah, I think the only—

[59:51] we—

[59:51] I think we've had one incident which was an actual structure fire where we had to—

[59:55] we sent, uh, Arrington,

[59:56] I believe we had to call for mutual aid for Arrington to respond.

[59:59] But we would have went to that fire.

[1:00:00] We would have been called for mutual aid to that fire whether we were in this

[1:00:04] agreement or not.

[1:00:05] Was that that brush fire, or was it— it was—

[1:00:08] there was one that was in the town that was not in the

[1:00:12] mutualized area.

[1:00:17] I will support the reevaluation of our negotiated rate.

[1:00:21] I think that's a good idea to look at.

[1:00:24] what it truly does cost us operationally to roll out to these calls.

[1:00:29] Um, but I do think we, we need this agreement in place.

[1:00:33] It's, it's vital for our service of our residents and even those that are maybe

[1:00:39] residents and even those that are maybe just

[1:00:40] outside our town boundary. Um, that's where I stand.

[1:00:43] So this agreement's for a 1-year extension, I believe,

[1:00:47] in the original interlocal agreement, which is not what's on the agenda.

[1:00:52] There was a provision that said that if there was any renegotiation,

[1:00:56] you had to give 6 months' notice.

[1:00:58] So I think, Commissioner Gill, to your point, I support what you're saying, but

[1:01:03] point, I support what you're saying, but I,

[1:01:03] I think for a lot of reasons, uh, it should move forward with the 1 year.

[1:01:08] We said this last year.

[1:01:10] I really don't— Commissioner Struford, I think,

[1:01:13] said it well at the beginning of discussion for this.

[1:01:16] That we've got to be on the front end of it, not on the back end.

[1:01:20] And, um, I understand that it's an interlocal agreement with the county,

[1:01:25] but because it's the legal foundation for us responding into the county as primary

[1:01:30] response, I wish we were more proactive in how we got these on the agenda and had

[1:01:36] them voted on, especially given that when the draft agenda came out on Thursday It

[1:01:41] wasn't on there. I actually did not see this.

[1:01:44] I had reviewed the agenda, I think on Tuesday, did not see it.

[1:01:48] And then thankfully went through it again today is when I, when I saw it.

[1:01:53] So when these get added,

[1:01:54] I think that communication is really important so that everybody can be

[1:01:59] important so that everybody can be informed,

[1:01:59] because I imagine the rest of the board would have liked to have read the full

[1:02:04] interlocal agreement, not just the, um, the addendum. Thank you.

[1:02:09] Can I ask before we move on, uh, Victor, when can you have something for us?

[1:02:15] So you mentioned that you could look at time and, and costs and all that.

[1:02:21] When can you have a staff report for us?

[1:02:24] I'm gonna have to look first, see how complex the data is.

[1:02:27] Um, my goal would try to be have something at your work session Um, but I haven't—

[1:02:33] not looking at the data and understanding what all is going to have to be, how,

[1:02:38] how difficult it is to get the information that we think we need, um, it might—

[1:02:44] I would say worst case it would be the following work session,

[1:02:48] but our goal would be to try to get you something by the work session so you all

[1:02:53] something by the work session so you all can

[1:02:53] have that information.

[1:02:55] Thank you. I— thank you.

[1:02:57] Okay, any other questions or discussion for

[1:03:01] Resolution 26-090? All in favor signify by saying

[1:03:05] aye.

[1:03:05] Aye.

[1:03:06] All opposed? Motion passes unanimously. Thank you, Chief Lupo.

[1:03:10] I am sorry to give you a hard time right at the very end.

[1:03:13] Wouldn't have it any other way.

[1:03:18] All right, that takes us to reports and comments from commissioners.

[1:03:21] School's about to start.

[1:03:24] That's a, that's a good Good thing,

[1:03:28] bad thing.

[1:03:30] Here comes the traffic.

[1:03:31] Well, yeah. We did receive the staff report for sewer service and the urban

[1:03:37] report for sewer service and the urban growth

[1:03:37] boundary, and it was excellent, very helpful to understand.

[1:03:42] That 1997 interlocal agreement with, um,

[1:03:45] with Metro did indicate that we were supposed to be working proactively with

[1:03:50] supposed to be working proactively with Metro

[1:03:51] for sewer. I think there's a real opportunity for the town to better engage

[1:03:56] opportunity for the town to better engage with

[1:03:56] Metro to have an understanding of sewer capacity.

[1:04:00] The report that listed out the projected capacity— and I don't remember the date,

[1:04:06] the year stamp on that report— um, was helpful.

[1:04:10] And I think especially with annexation requests and understanding future growth

[1:04:15] requests and understanding future growth we

[1:04:16] have a responsibility as a board to be planning for that,

[1:04:20] and sewer capacity is an integral piece of that.

[1:04:23] And I would love to see us more proactively interact with Metro Sewer and

[1:04:29] proactively interact with Metro Sewer and would like

[1:04:29] to hear more from the board but also staff on ways to make that happen.

[1:04:35] I also think that should be happening with, um,

[1:04:38] Nolensville College Grove Water Utility,

[1:04:41] and I've heard other members of this board share that as well.

[1:04:46] I received feedback from a citizen earlier this week related to water,

[1:04:51] and while I know we have no authority over either of those utilities,

[1:04:56] that interlocal agreement that was brought forward related to sewer service—

[1:05:02] Metro was agreeing to work with us when they took over sewer service in this area.

[1:05:08] So I would love to hear more, not necessarily tonight, But it,

[1:05:12] when appropriate about those areas.

[1:05:15] And if you have stuff to share tonight, I'm happy to talk.

[1:05:19] I'll just make this one comment.

[1:05:21] When, when we were looking at the new revised urban growth boundary,

[1:05:26] we reached out both to Metro and to, uh,

[1:05:28] Nolensville College Grove before we even brought to you all the scope of the urban

[1:05:34] growth boundary and said, okay, we, you know, we're looking at our planning area,

[1:05:39] the potential growth area.

[1:05:41] What's, what's your, Intents, what is your ability to serve?

[1:05:44] And at the time we had received information that, yes, we will have

[1:05:49] information that, yes, we will have capacity.

[1:05:49] You know, we can serve that area. We can do that.

[1:05:53] Now, Metro had said at that point that they wouldn't go beyond the Ridgeline,

[1:05:58] but as far as everything that was in that current UGB, you know,

[1:06:02] they would have the capacity to serve.

[1:06:04] Okay.

[1:06:05] Um, so, and, and we've heard something similar from, um,

[1:06:10] Nolensville College Grove Utility District.

[1:06:14] So we haven't been— we haven't been devoid of, of conversations.

[1:06:20] Mm-hmm.

[1:06:20] But I do think that the whole issue of, um, that has come about with the, uh,

[1:06:27] us being surprised that they did have a capacity issue in their trunk main will

[1:06:33] create the ongoing conversations of, you know, what your model will look like,

[1:06:39] where are we. Here's— every time that we would do a growth plan update,

[1:06:45] we'll probably be having those conversations with them about what does

[1:06:50] conversations with them about what does that look

[1:06:51] like in their systems as well.

[1:06:54] Go ahead.

[1:06:56] I think it would be immensely valuable if we got them to sit down with us as a

[1:07:01] board, whoever that may be at Metro Water,

[1:07:04] to talk about strategically what they're looking at, what their goals are,

[1:07:09] how that fits in with what we're seeing boots on the ground here,

[1:07:13] whether that's Enoch making that connection or you.

[1:07:16] I think it's immensely important for us to understand timeline for the trunk line

[1:07:21] replacement.

[1:07:22] Okay.

[1:07:22] replacement they are working on, what that looks like,

[1:07:25] how far they really truly do intend to go when it is all said and done.

[1:07:29] I think that would be great for them and us to have a work session and really go

[1:07:33] through that.

[1:07:34] Okay.

[1:07:37] I have got a question regarding the sewer document that was sent out.

[1:07:42] Under the section that was most interesting to me,

[1:07:46] and I think the thing that we are really focused on here,

[1:07:51] The section of waste disposal regulations outside the town limits of Nolensville but

[1:07:57] within the UGB and outside of the drainage basin.

[1:08:01] Um, you mentioned that staff has asked the county multiple times for a copy of the

[1:08:08] policy that they claim says that we, we have the ability to,

[1:08:12] to give property owners the right to For alternative sewer.

[1:08:17] Um, have you heard anything?

[1:08:19] I know this recently came to us, but when can you expect that?

[1:08:24] Yes, I, I have heard something, and that's not yet a written policy.

[1:08:30] Uh, it is a— it is the way that they are operating,

[1:08:34] but it has not yet been officially adopted.

[1:08:37] So does that mean that Officially, we don't have the authority to allow—

[1:08:45] Well, it just means for them, it gives them the—

[1:08:50] it basically says that they would be able to grant us— well, no,

[1:08:56] that's where we would be trying to work toward is for them to be able to grant us

[1:09:04] authority or grant authority.

[1:09:07] Let them grant the authority for an alternative system within the UGB outside

[1:09:15] alternative system within the UGB outside of

[1:09:15] Metro system. Um, they're, they're—

[1:09:18] the policy that they're enforcing right now is that they're not allowing them,

[1:09:26] period, if it's in the UGB. But that's not written right now.

[1:09:33] But the thing that follows that statement is a statement that the county's

[1:09:39] planning staff has indicated that language modifying the policy— okay,

[1:09:44] I see. They could consider modifying it if we decide to.

[1:09:48] Okay, that makes sense.

[1:09:50] And they are very interested in modifying that policy if indeed we are.

[1:09:54] Okay.

[1:09:56] They've been very candid about that.

[1:09:57] Uh, you know, when I talked to their planning staff, they, they thought that

[1:10:02] planning staff, they, they thought that it—

[1:10:02] that the original one had already been codified.

[1:10:05] But when they went back, I went back through their stuff, I couldn't find it

[1:10:09] through their stuff, I couldn't find it online.

[1:10:09] And then they called me back later in the afternoon and said, oh, guess what,

[1:10:13] it's not been officially adopted, but here's, here's where we're at.

[1:10:17] Okay.

[1:10:21] Do we serve the Jenkins Farm for fire?

[1:10:28] Yes.

[1:10:29] So this report that came out is not on our agenda,

[1:10:31] but I do think it bears additional discussion and would like it to be on our

[1:10:35] discussion and would like it to be on our next

[1:10:36] workshop.

[1:10:36] Yeah.

[1:10:39] Is there anything else that you all would like to see

[1:10:44] addressed or evaluated inside that particular That

[1:10:50] topic.

[1:10:50] I, I would like it to be distilled to the point of like,

[1:10:55] these are our options should we choose to go down that road of—

[1:11:01] because I think this helps a lot to really understand what the options are,

[1:11:07] especially when we're talking about, um,

[1:11:11] restricting a property that is outside of our town I think it would be helpful

[1:11:18] to know what the possible policy tracks that we could go down would be.

[1:11:24] Okay.

[1:11:27] Do you want me to do anything?

[1:11:29] I think I understand. I'll have some offline commentary—

[1:11:31] Sure.

[1:11:32] Chat with you and just make sure I've got in mind what you're looking for.

[1:11:36] Okay.

[1:11:37] Was the planning report from Metro something that we already had in our

[1:11:41] something that we already had in our files,

[1:11:41] or did we go get that from Metro to generate this report?

[1:11:44] Um, Enoch was able to find that.

[1:11:52] Um, I found it in a box that Don had in the closet.

[1:11:55] I mean, I called Metro 2 or 3 times, tried to get information.

[1:11:58] They didn't have anything.

[1:12:00] So I went and dug through the closet upstairs Joel had,

[1:12:03] and I found that in the bottom of the box, just a sewer.

[1:12:06] So I scanned it, sent it out.

[1:12:10] So do we— presumably Metro creates these reports for other areas.

[1:12:14] Do we think that they've not restudied the Nolensville Basin since 1997, or do you—

[1:12:19] is it possible— I understand they haven't been willingly giving it to you,

[1:12:24] but they did sign an interlocal agreement saying that they would cooperate with the

[1:12:29] town of Nolensville, albeit in 1997, related to sewer.

[1:12:32] Um, when they determined that the trunk line was functioning at 80% capacity?

[1:12:37] There must have been some studies. Can, can we—

[1:12:40] I think what they did was redo their modeling, uh, and had, uh,

[1:12:45] it was my understanding that they were going through systematically, uh,

[1:12:51] taking a look at their sewer models and that they were in the process of redoing

[1:12:58] that they were in the process of redoing it

[1:12:58] when they discovered via the model that they were much higher capacity than what,

[1:13:05] uh, what they thought. Um, I don't know that they've done a full basin, uh, study.

[1:13:11] That's certainly something that we can inquire, but—

[1:13:16] Yeah, I've talked to Metro 2 or 3 times, and they've had a lot of people retire.

[1:13:20] Cyrus Tucci's retired, Mike Marshall's retired.

[1:13:23] Um, I've been talking to Steve I know a lot of the folks that work there.

[1:13:27] I don't talk to Scott Potter much, their director,

[1:13:30] because he's not really been involved with the basin studies.

[1:13:34] But they really started studying this when Farrington and Beezer came in,

[1:13:38] when they had to upgrade the Kidd Road system. They put an 18-inch line down

[1:13:42] system. They put an 18-inch line down Kidd.

[1:13:43] They took out 5 lift stations that served a lot of the Stonebrook area.

[1:13:47] That's what triggered them to really start studying that area.

[1:13:50] Well, they determined about a year and a half ago that It was at capacity.

[1:13:55] Uh, so they have issued a purchase order to Garney Construction to upgrade that

[1:13:59] line.

[1:14:01] They've ordered pipe.

[1:14:01] I think they've got some delays on getting pipe.

[1:14:04] I don't have a— when today they're going to start digging through town,

[1:14:08] but they're moving forward with it now, you know.

[1:14:11] But they have studied— like,

[1:14:12] one of the things that came up with the county dealing with Mike Madison when the

[1:14:17] farm came in You know,

[1:14:18] Metro's saying they should not have been able to put in an alternate system there

[1:14:22] without the county's approval, without their approval.

[1:14:25] The county said, we didn't know nothing about it, we just did it, you know.

[1:14:29] Uh, so that kind of thing.

[1:14:31] The Metro says, you know, they've—

[1:14:33] the county wasn't forthright with them about that.

[1:14:35] They should have asked, got their approval first,

[1:14:38] because that's part of that agreement. But, um, but—

[1:14:41] And I think there's other county agreements.

[1:14:43] And the county had signed the agreement.

[1:14:44] They had the agreement too, but nobody looked at it.

[1:14:47] It was a long time ago, I guess.

[1:14:49] But, uh, that's one thing that the county said to him,

[1:14:51] and Mike Madison and Victor's talked to him as well, is, yeah,

[1:14:54] we don't have an official policy,

[1:14:56] but anything in the urban growth boundary of Nolensville,

[1:14:59] whether it's subdivisions or anything,

[1:15:01] we want the town's thoughts on it because they're going to annex it someday.

[1:15:04] We want to make— meet their policies. kind of thing.

[1:15:07] Whether they have to or not, I don't know,

[1:15:09] but that's sort of where they are right now in their operating procedures.

[1:15:13] Whether it's in their ordinances or not, that's the way they want to look at it.

[1:15:17] I have comments, but I think, I think we'll— I'll save mine for the work

[1:15:23] we'll— I'll save mine for the work session.

[1:15:24] Okay.

[1:15:28] Any other reports and comments from commissioners?

[1:15:31] The only other item I'd really like to,

[1:15:34] to discuss some time frames with is the update to the zoning ordinance that's

[1:15:39] update to the zoning ordinance that's still

[1:15:40] in the Planning Commission.

[1:15:42] That's something that's been in process for a little while now, and, uh,

[1:15:47] I don't know if Brad has any— I didn't give you a heads up or anything about

[1:15:52] give you a heads up or anything about that.

[1:15:52] That's okay. That's all right.

[1:15:54] Um, Planning Commission is next Tuesday,

[1:15:57] and We've sent out to the Planning Commission members for their agenda the

[1:16:02] Commission members for their agenda the draft of

[1:16:03] Article 8. So we mentioned, I think it's been maybe a year ago now,

[1:16:08] that I sat probably right here and mentioned that this process is going to

[1:16:13] mentioned that this process is going to take a

[1:16:13] long time. And we are beginning Article 8 of 9.

[1:16:17] Um, 4 and 8 were always going to be The rough ones, the, the very difficult ones.

[1:16:22] So 8 is because there's a relatively lighter agenda for Planning Commission.

[1:16:28] We wanted to go ahead and get that on that agenda for Planning Commission to take a

[1:16:33] look at it and provide any comments that they had.

[1:16:37] I imagine that 8 is going to need a second Planning Commission discussion coming off

[1:16:43] that. We've looked at it internally,

[1:16:45] but I think we would like continue to look at it internally, but due to, uh,

[1:16:51] you know, the nature of knowing the timing and, you know, we went ahead and,

[1:16:56] and got that for, for Planning Commission to review.

[1:17:00] So we are hoping that maybe this month and next month for 8,

[1:17:04] 9 could potentially be kind of wrapped up, um,

[1:17:07] as a part of putting them all back together.

[1:17:10] So, you know, as we mentioned, we've been on We've been doing this— I,

[1:17:15] I looked at it, I think it was maybe August,

[1:17:18] maybe July of last year where our initial Planning Commission Article 1 discussion

[1:17:24] was. So it puts us so close enough, um, you know,

[1:17:28] then we got to put it all back together.

[1:17:31] We've looked at 1, we've looked at 2, but like I mentioned,

[1:17:35] it's been months and months since we looked at 1.

[1:17:38] Are we still using the same terminology? Now we got to push it all back together.

[1:17:44] So I'm imagining that's maybe a couple months as well at the Planning Commission

[1:17:49] level, hopefully, hopefully sooner, and then ultimately up to the board.

[1:17:55] Did that answer anything?

[1:17:56] Okay. So Article 8 for August and September, presumably Article 9 in

[1:18:03] September, presumably Article 9 in October.

[1:18:04] 9 is definitions, so definitions could almost be handled kind of as we look at it

[1:18:10] all back together. So it could potentially be 1 through 9 is,

[1:18:15] is looked at that in October.

[1:18:18] Yeah.

[1:18:18] Okay. And then as part of that review process, um,

[1:18:22] Commissioner Strufert brought it up earlier tonight,

[1:18:27] and I agree with him that the hamlet zone that was in the zoning ordinance is

[1:18:34] a little bit challenging.

[1:18:36] And has there been discussion at the Planning Commission or with staff about

[1:18:43] how the Hamlet Zone gets modified and/or something similar to a PD or PUD

[1:18:49] like there was previously?

[1:18:52] There has been discussion.

[1:18:53] And spoiler, you know, I think Article 8, or on this upcoming Tuesday's meeting,

[1:18:59] I would assume may go around that a lot.

[1:19:01] Um, couldn't— I don't know what, what we'll ultimately talk about.

[1:19:06] It's— I think just Article 8 is 109 pages as it is,

[1:19:09] so with red lines it's much longer.

[1:19:11] Um, so it's— I mean, that's just that portion of it.

[1:19:15] Um, you know, we didn't really— I'm trying to recall.

[1:19:18] I think with Article 4,

[1:19:20] which is where the zoning bulk standards for the zoning districts are in the

[1:19:25] for the zoning districts are in the current

[1:19:25] ordinance, we didn't, we didn't adjust much of that CH and RH,

[1:19:29] which are the hamlet districts.

[1:19:31] But as we've gone through it,

[1:19:33] there's been increased discussion and interest in what do PUDs look like.

[1:19:38] Is there a process in which that we can facilitate that and, and that the,

[1:19:43] the board is ultimately comfortable with them,

[1:19:46] whether if it's a modification of standard approach as other municipalities utilize

[1:19:51] that Um, where you're either doing a development by right and you kind of do

[1:19:56] development by right and you kind of do this

[1:19:56] process, or if you're asking for any modifications to standard and, and,

[1:20:01] and you very clearly are asking for them individually.

[1:20:04] That's one of the questions that has come up, and, uh,

[1:20:08] staff has written a little bit that, you know,

[1:20:11] brought that into some of the changes in Article 8,

[1:20:14] and we'll get feedback on Tuesday.

[1:20:16] Thank you. I appreciate that. All right.

[1:20:19] Any other reports and comments from commissioners?

[1:20:23] Mayor, if I just may take a personal moment.

[1:20:26] Um, I shared with the vice mayor before we got started tonight.

[1:20:30] I'll need to share it with the chief of police, if that's all right.

[1:20:34] Chief Armour, as of 3 o'clock this afternoon,

[1:20:37] there's another Gil on the highway driving.

[1:20:40] My 16-year-old son got the perfect score, we were told,

[1:20:43] at the driver's testing center.

[1:20:45] He takes after his mother, obviously, when it comes to test-taking,

[1:20:49] but I'm afraid he may take after his father when it comes to having a lead

[1:20:54] father when it comes to having a lead foot.

[1:20:54] So nonetheless, congratulations to my son Taylor on getting his driver's license

[1:20:59] today.

[1:20:59] Congratulations, Commissioner Gill.

[1:21:03] All right, is there any other comments or a

[1:21:08] motion to adjourn?

[1:21:09] Second.

[1:21:11] All in favor of adjournment signify by saying aye. Aye.

[1:21:13] All opposed?

[1:21:13] Motion passes unanimously.

Regular Meeting
