City Manager's Report  
City Manager Kenny Martin stated he greatly appreciates the Veterans. Thanked Carrie  
Brandon for the treats provided and wish her the best on the new business. Alisha Clark  
grew up in Mt. Juliet, she was an All Star in College and has receive 3 WMBA awards.  
Very proud of her. Happy for Chief Hambrick and his new endeavor on retirement.  
Gino Marchetti, City Attorney read the following statement:  
So, you aren’t taken by surprise , I would ask for 3 minutes at tonight’s BOC to state that the  
following :  
There are currently 4 Ethics complaints filed by and against the commissioners .  
I want to state clearly that each is being addressed by a dedicated group of 5 individuals who  
comprise the duly erected and established MJ Ethics Commission.  
As you know, each commissioner chose one of the members of the 5 member EC.  
Further , due to conflicts I have as the City Attorney in advising the EC when the complaints involve  
a commissioner filing a complaint against another commissioner ,the EC voted to appoint Bill  
Farmer ,a former us atty and chair of the metro civil service and with over 50 years’ experience  
practicing before all state and federal courts in Tennessee is the atty advising the Ethic Commission.  
I will also advise that the Ethics Code and state law prohibit any commissioner discussing these  
proceedings or the investigation with anyone other than their atty or to investigate any complaint  
against them .  
Under no circumstance should any commissioner be contacting any of the EC members . To do so,  
exposes each commissioner engaged in that activity to possible civil and criminal liability.  
To conclude , the investigations are under the auspices and control of the EC . The City Manger has  
no right or the ability to conclude or interfere in the EC’s investigation . Therefore , he should not be  
contacted, nor will he engage in any conversation regarding the EC or these complaints and has been  
advised to so state if contacted by anyone other than the EC .  
As the city’s Ethics Officer , I can answer certain questions on process or procedures ,but will not be  
involved in any substantive review or advice on the merits of these complaints. If there is the  
likelihood of any conflict in any procedural matter question , I will defer to Mr Farmer .  
Thank you
