Commissioner Reports & Comments  
Commissioner Justice: Attended the "Everyone's Wilson" Banquet, this is an organization  
headed up by Daryl Crouch that assists the schools, students and other organizations in  
Wilson County. George Thomas passed away, he has been a Real Estate agent and resident  
for many, many years. His contributions to the City have been to numerous to list. He was a  
true Southern Gentleman and had a big heart. Read his obituary. Had the privalege of being  
his friend for many, many years. He will be missed.  
Vice Mayor Trivett: Thanked everyone for attending in person and on-line. Congratulations to  
the new MJPD officers that just graduated. Attended the ribbon cutting for Hamilton Denson  
Park, parks is doing a great job. The electrical wrapped boxes are great. He counted over 83  
red, white and blue flags coming here tonight. Keep our military in your prayers. Happy  
Easter to everyone.  
Commissioner Hefner: There will be a Ethics Work Session with the Board of Commissioners  
and Ethics Commission this Wednesday at 6 PM, this is open to the public. Costco has a  
sign on the building. Shop local as always which helps fund MJ. Happy Easter to everyone.  
Three seats on this board are up for re-election. Encouraged everyone that is a resident to  
pull a petition to run. He is happy to help with this process.  
Commissioner Milele: Her newsletter will go out on the 1st. Walk Across Wilson started  
yesterday, the link is on facebook, the idea is to get out and get active for 4 weeks for 30
