pledge thank you mayor yes

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:39,920
sir good evening Commissioners guests
and those at home today I have the

7
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:46,879
privilege to
introduce two fine people one is Tiffany

8
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:51,559
Kelly and the other Delaney Kane and
they're with Tennessee kids belong and

9
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,559
they're going to lead us off with a
little bit about what Tennessee kids

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,239
belong is about and then offer a prayer
and the

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,000
pledge thank you thank you for having us
too good evening I'm Tiffany Kelly I'm

12
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:09,680
with Tennessee kids belong and we exist
to equip leaders to enhance the

13
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:14,360
experience and change the outcomes for
kids in foster care and we primarily do

14
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:20,200
that through family recruitment whether
it is through foster care um or adoptive

15
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:25,200
families um much like Delaney here who
was adopted uh two weeks before attorney

16
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:30,439
18 at 17 years old through a recruitment
video that was seen by a family um that

17
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,920
desired to grow their family and provide
a safe place and a sense of belonging

18
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:38,399
and so our efforts are to walk alongside
the Department of children's services

19
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,880
and other child placing agencies to
bring people in and to recruit more

20
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,600
families to meet the need we also feel
though it it's very irresponsible to

21
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:50,840
recruit more Foster families without
simultaneously recruiting the support

22
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:57,039
system that is needed to walk alongside
these families and bolster them up about

23
00:01:53,040 --> 00:02:00,360
50% of foster families uh burn out um
due to the lack of social support um

24
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,439
around a year
and our goal is to really build a

25
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,039
community that says we see you we
support you and we want to walk

26
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:14,440
alongside you so that you can keep
saying yes to the kids that need stable

27
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:20,239
loving safe homes um whether it is to
get them back to the caregiver that they

28
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,560
have um left or to a permanent adoptive
family and so we recruit in the

29
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:30,319
community by bringing businesses in
helping Business Leaders build Foster

30
00:02:26,519 --> 00:02:35,120
friendly HR policies um offering local
uh uh offering local constituents uh

31
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:40,640
discounts on goods and services so a
free birthday cake discounted trampoline

32
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:45,680
park passes oftentimes families say the
one thing that they um decrease in their

33
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:50,680
home is that re Recreation and those are
opportunities where we provide stable

34
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:54,840
and loving and caring environments um
that are normal for our kids and so we

35
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,879
want businesses to find their yes and
that's a great Avenue to do so and then

36
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:02,040
we also equip our faith leaders our
churches in the community

37
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Christians are three times more likely
to step into foster care and adoption

38
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,680
because of the call and so we want to
make sure that they're doing that right

39
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,280
and our goal is to build Foster friendly
churches churches that are trauma

40
00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:18,440
informed churches that are cons
consistently and routinely serving and

41
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:24,680
supporting these families through
wraparound support parent night outs and

42
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:31,080
offering uh support along alongside them
in addition to talking about it in a way

43
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:35,640
where um it is from a public platform or
main Gathering but offering the right

44
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:39,599
language and encouraging others um and
bringing that education to families

45
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,640
because again not a lot of us know a lot
about foster care until you have it in

46
00:03:41,799 --> 00:03:47,959
your home or in your family or in your
community or until you know somebody and

47
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,920
then you start seeing the needs so our
goal and our efforts is to really build

48
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:56,720
a foster friendly Community a foster
friendly state of Tennessee so that when

49
00:03:54,079 --> 00:04:02,200
somebody says I came from foster care
I'm a foster parent or I know a foster

50
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:06,720
parent you guys can say hey I know how
to show up I know how to say I'm I'm

51
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,640
going to walk alongside this journey
with you um so that we can keep our

52
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,840
families providing safe stable places
for kids in care that need them at this

53
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:22,120
time so thank you for letting me share a
little bit about Tennessee kids belong

54
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,120

all these things Tennessee truly is a
volunteer state and uh we are proud of

106
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:51,440
what um we accomplished in this County
and uh we all work together and I just

107
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:55,560
uh in my uh 30 years of Public Service I
have always been amazed at the folks

108
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,920
that step forward and volunteer their
time to help our community when I worked

109
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,920
at the Sheriff's Department you had the
senior citizens awareness Network and

110
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:08,320
you had the the folks with the citizens
police academy and I just always thought

111
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:13,920
that that was wonderful that people
would step forward and help and and uh

112
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:18,079
do that just to be with their Community
um like I said we have some folks here

113
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:24,120
from our volunteer program uh with
Wilson County Animal Control and I'm

114
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:29,680
really proud um tonight to be able to uh
to introduce someone that's perhaps our

115
00:09:26,079 --> 00:09:35,519
first volunteer um before I do that um I
see that Mary Scruggs is with us tonight

116
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:39,240
my predecessor I'm not the I'm not the
first director of Animal Control I'm the

117
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,160
second so just wondering Mary would you
come up here and stand with us while we

118
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:46,760
do
this Miss Mary did an outstanding job as

119
00:09:45,079 --> 00:09:51,200
a director of Wilson County Animal
Control and we got it started all by

120
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:57,040
itself as a single Department appreciate
her and her diligence to make it a

121
00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:02,360
successful program and uh like I was
saying I would like to uh introduce like

122
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:05,800
I said perhaps our first volunteer for
animal control and a person that meant a

123
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:11,800
lot to me and has meant a lot to the
county and really helped shape animal

124
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:17,480
control the way it is today um Nancy
would you come up

125
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:23,480
here I don't think she was expecting
this Miss Nancy Andrews and I'll turn

126
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,480
this over to commissioner

127
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:32,880
Breeze well Nancy makes her way up here
we um I think we're successful in our

128
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,880
surprise

129
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:41,920
I Nancy has served on the animal control
committee for 14 years and as you'll

130
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:46,920
hear through her
Proclamation her history as to how she

131
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:51,519
helped actually get animal control
started in Wilson County and helped make

132
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:55,519
it the program that it is
today resolution of the board of County

133
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:59,399
commissioners of Wilson County Tennessee
and appreciation for the contributions

134
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:04,399
of Nancy Andrews to animal control in
Wilson County whereas Nancy Andrews is a

135
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:09,720
person very active in outdoor activities
including hiking and bicycling and

136
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:13,600
whereas prior to September 11th 2009 in
the afternoon Nancy Andrew had not been

137
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:18,639
involved with Wilson Kenny Animal
Control when on that day on posy Hill

138
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Road in rural West Wilson County she was
riding her bicycle training for the

139
00:11:20,839 --> 00:11:27,399
upcoming Cedars of Lebanon
Triathlon when three dogs began to chase

140
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,079
her and whereas as she continued
pedaling her bicycle trying to escape

141
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:35,519
the dog the larger dog grabbed her leg
tearing her calf causing a bloody deep

142
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,959
wound that would take 13 stitches to
close and whereas after calls for help

143
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,560
she begins a journey involving several
Departments of Wilson County government

144
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,160
including the Sheriff's Office the
Wilson County Health Department and

145
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,519
Wilson County Animal Control where it
seems when discussing the attack she

146
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:55,040
discovers that there's not a clear line
of responsibility for who takes charge

147
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:59,240
of investigating and Prosecuting dog
bites in Wilson County and whereas while

148
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,560
the attacking dog was ultimately
compounded in the custody of the owner

149
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,399
Mrs Andrews began to think about how
this type of attack which is bound to be

150
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:12,399
repeated in Wilson County in the coming
years could best be handled and whereas

151
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:16,079
after that event Nancy Andrews became
interested in Wilson County Animal

152
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,240
Control and was ultimately appointed as
a citizen representative on the animal

153
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:25,639
control committee in its Inception in
August of 2010 and whereas Nancy Andrews

154
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:30,720
served continuously being reappointed to
her position several times over the next

155
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:34,959
few years until she chose in 2024 not to
serve any further on the committee and

156
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,399
whereas during that time great strides
and improvements were made in Wilson

157
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:43,079
County Animal Control which has been a

graduate
683 and incoming freshman class is

418
00:34:45,399 --> 00:34:52,320
expected to be
1924 so that that that's a number we

419
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:56,760
watch and you put that on a fouryear
average looking at your high schools uh

420
00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:00,240
it's a good indicator and there's some
more numbers in there you can look at

421
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:05,880
shows that right now our growth seems to
be in 6 to 12 this year which is a flip

00:35:54,839 --> 00:36:02,400
expect a big turnout I will say that
certified we're better shape in in our

434
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:08,200
classroom teachers we've been probably
since I've been director I think we're

435
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:12,160
down to less than 20 uh and and most of
those being in special education we are

436
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:17,160
seeing an uptick in in drawing
applicants to Wilson County and that's a

437
00:36:15,839 --> 00:36:22,119
testament to some of the things we've
done with pay and our benefits and thank

438
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:25,960
you for for your support in that uh do
do want to highlight this time of year

439
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:30,520
the sheriff said safety's always on our
mind and there's there's two reporting

440
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:35,319
tools that we were getting out there as
much as possible this month One Is Safe

441
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:39,680
Tennessee it's through the Homeland
Security in Tennessee uh state

442
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:46,040
government it's an app it's downloadable
to a phone and it's Anonymous Reporting

443
00:36:42,319 --> 00:36:50,160
System it's 247 access and it's a great
place if if if you have children or

444
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:54,800
grandchildren come home saying something
they've heard something just to

445
00:36:51,839 --> 00:36:59,720
immediately go to that and they will
Begin work on that immediately and and

446
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:04,720
look at that and so I encourage you to
know about that app again it's safe

447
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:10,240
Tennessee you go to just download it
it's a great app to have also our

448
00:37:07,319 --> 00:37:15,480
sheriff department has a a reporting
form that you can go online and that has

449
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:21,359
both of these apps we've had threats
come through and that's like after hours

450
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:25,839
that is a great place for us to get
information and and they will trust me

451
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:30,040
it will be looked at immediately and and
they do a great job with that uh and

452
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:36,520
thank the sheriff's office for providing
that that's been a great uh Network for

453
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:42,640
community members parents uh Aunts
Uncles just hear something and our motto

454
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:47,119
is if you if you hear a threat report it
don't post it report it to law

455
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:51,640
enforcement and let them be the first
ones to get their hands on it uh that's

456
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:56,240
so important and and the world it's it's
hard to track down social media when

457
00:37:54,359 --> 00:38:00,240
you've got somebody hears something and
they put it on and it just goes

458
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:05,200
everywhere but if if we can educate
people to where to report it it be much

459
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:09,560
more efficient in in getting a hold of
the information checking out providing

460
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:16,240
safe schools uh we did have a great
turnout screen agers it was the last uh

461
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:20,839
uh parent student event partnering with

472
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:14,920
project updates on Lardo Elementary have
a report attached in Central Pike steel

473
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,720
sight progress work site work is in
progress I'll be attending a meeting

474
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:22,800
there this week to get a little more
information on how far that project is

475
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:26,839
that is my report I'll be glad to answer
any

476
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,359
questions I got a motion to Second
commissioner jent

477
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:38,839
yeah other states have moved to limit
cell phon in the schools do you have

478
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:43,480
anything is the state moving to that or
locally are we moving to that well we

479
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:47,640
we're already locally have several
schools that have different policies in

480
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,560
place in their schools but there's a a
bill I believe it got passed into law

481
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:56,920
last week waiting on Governor's
signature where that it's going to

482
00:39:52,560 --> 00:40:03,440
require us to uh the Lea to adopt a
policy that will limit be no cell phones

483
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,960
during instruction time and reading the
bill there's some other things they can

484
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:11,400
do if they decide to do that I know some
states have a little sack that when they

485
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,640
come in they put it in they lock it they
can take their cell phone with them but

486
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:17,640
they don't have to put anywhere yeah and
then when they leave the school they

487
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:24,119
unlock it to get it
back is that's that's a higher

488
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:28,000
technology solution it is but there's
also a higher cost with that exactly

489
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:32,839
strictest size what what seems to be
working most of our teachers that are

490
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:38,760
using a policy placing it in a
pocket in the room seems to be working

491
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:42,880
great uh and but yeah there there is
some legislation we'll be looking at to

492
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:47,880
adopt policiy thank you commissioner
Evans drove by the new Central Pike

493
00:40:45,319 --> 00:40:53,240

that's uh some good progress um but the

494
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:58,960
road out front of that is terrible is
there any talk with TT about doing

495
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:03,000
something to Central like before well
our part has a turning lane in there I

496
00:41:01,319 --> 00:41:09,160
understand the turning lane is fine but
the rest of the road is trash it is but

497
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:14,359
