Commissioner Reports & Comments

Commissioner Giles: The Ride Mt. Juliet event will take place this Sunday and is sponsored

by the BPAC of Mt. Juliet. This family-friendly event includes opportunities to register to win a

free bicycle, provided by the Veloteers Bicycle Club. Children will have the chance to follow a

fire truck as part of the activities. He also highlighted the increased presence and efficiency of

local emergency services, sharing that he personally experienced an incident over the

weekend and witnessed firsthand the excellent care provided by EMT personnel.

Vice Mayor Trivett: Thanked everyone for attending and noted that both he and the City have

been very busy. He acknowledged ongoing traffic concerns, especially along Lebanon Road

and in the Providence area, and encouraged those engaging with developers to also

communicate with local schools. He expressed appreciation to the citizens who have reached

out to him for assistance, thanked Public Works for their continued efforts, and announced

that the Parks Department's splash pad will open on May 27th as temperatures begin to rise.

Commissioner Hefner: Thanked everyone attending in person, watching online, or tuning in

on TV. He congratulated and thanked the Main Street Media Award winners, nominees, and

voters. He emphasized the importance of roads and infrastructure, noting that the public often

doesn’t see the extensive work that takes place behind the scenes-explaining that placing a

cone on a road is just one of the final steps in a much longer process. He praised the Public

Works Department for their dedication and encouraged residents to visit the City’s website to

see updates on ongoing projects. He shared his recent experience working on a project from

the developer's perspective and commended City staff for being phenomenal and great to

work with. He reminded the public not to leave pets locked in vehicles as the weather warms.

He concluded by congratulating his wife for winning “Best Musical Artist” at the Main Street

Media Awards.

Commissioner Milele: Spoke about the upcoming Ride Mt. Juliet event, highlighting that the

Police Department will host a bike rodeo and safety training beforehand. She emphasized

that it is a free, family-friendly event and provided an overview of the planned route.

Commissioner Milele gave a shout-out to EMS personnel, sharing a personal story where she

had to use their services and commending them for their quick and effective response. She

announced that her city monthly newsletter will be released on Friday and thanked Main

Street Media for recognizing her as a finalist in their recent awards.

City Manager's Report

City Manager Kenny Martin thanked everyone for attending and expressed his appreciation to

City staff for their ongoing hard work and dedication. He also thanked the City Commission for

their continued support. He recognized Ray Daniels, a local business owner of a franchise

restaurant, who will be retiring soon, and spoke highly of his impact on the community and

longstanding contributions to the city.

He encouraged residents to shop local and noted that the City has benefited from maintaining

low property taxes for many years. City Manager Martin also shared the passing of former

Police Chief Charles McCrary, mentioning that he had the opportunity to visit with him last

week. He expressed his gratitude to both Chief McCrary and Danny Farmer for giving him the

opportunity to serve the city. He concluded by reminding everyone that we never truly know

what others may be going through.

Mayor Maness made a motion to hear items 13.I. and 13.J. together. No objections

were raised.

Commissioner Hefner proposed a voluntary contribution of $7,500 per lot, totaling

approximately $3.255 million, to be allocated toward the widening of Lebanon Road

within the City limits, starting from the school area and onward. The motion was

seconded by Vice Mayor Trivett.

Engineering Director Shane Shamanur reminded the Board that contributions should

be collected at the time the erosion control permit is issued for each individual home.

The board agreed.

A representative of the Mira Bella development inquired whether the contribution and

erosion permit applies to each home, and it was confirmed that it does.

No objections were raised.

Back on 13.I. and 13.J. as once amended.

Discussion was held

Chief of Police Mullins and Fire Chief Foulks provided comments on how the proposed

development would impact their respective departments and the city as a whole.

Discussion was held.

Commissioner Milele made a motion to amend the ordinance, 13.I., to include a

paragraph under section 1 that states "Should the associated preliminary master

development plan and planned unit development fail to receive approval from the

Board of Commissioners, the annexation and plan of services shall be void." This

amendment was read and written by City Attorney Burnett, and was seconded by

Mayor Maness.

No objections were raised.

Back on the ordinances as twice amended.

Commissioner Milele made a motion to amend the ordinance to add a 10% rental cap

on the development and that no more than one owner can own more than two homes,

under item 13.J., in the Planning and Zoning section. Commissioner Milele would like

this written in the HOA bylaws, as the city cannot enforce this. This was seconded by

Commissioner Giles.

City Attorney Burnett recommended that the Board not take action on this matter,

stating it should be left to the discretion of the Homeowners Association (HOA).

Discussion was held.

Commissioner Milele moved to withdraw the motion, with a second by Commissioner

Giles. No objections were raised.

Back on items as once amended each.

Discussion was held.

Discussion about requiring sprinklers in homes until another fire station is built was

held. City Attorney Burnett advised that the city does not currently have the authority to

require single family residential sprinkling.

Commissioner Hefner requested that Public Works provide detailed figures before the

second reading. Utilities Director Tim Forkum noted that in order to generate accurate

calculations, he would need data from the developer. Commissioner Hefner asked for

a phased breakdown of the project year by year, aligned with the developer’s timeline,

as well as an analysis of the true depreciation costs.

Commissioner Milele, Vice Mayor Trivett, Commissioner Giles, and Commissioner

Hefner voted in favor, while Mayor Maness voted against. The ordinances passed to

results, without the Traffic Commission’s consideration or approval.

(add to b1) If the 85th percentile speed is less than 8 mph over the posted speed limit,

the Public Works Director may allow a request for speed control devices to go forward

to the Traffic Commission for consideration, only if there is inadequate intersection

sight distance or stopping sight distance that poses a safety issue. An intersection

sight distance or stopping sight distance analysis must be performed to document that

the available sight distance is less than the required sight distance by AASHTO

standards. "

by Vice Mayor Trivett.
