Commissioner Reports & Comments

Commissioner Milele thanked everyone for attending. Monthly newsletter will go out soon,

please subscribe. Recognized Leadership Wilson participants. Pickles for Pups tournament

was very successful raised $5k for the 501C3 for the MJ Animal Shelter, thanked Cedarstone

Bank for being the sponsor of this event. Addressing the comment about greed and why cant

we just be Mt. Juliet. She has been here for 39 years. She did vote against Liquor by the

Drink, however others voted yes and it passed.votes. This has has changed our town. The

city has grown with this and the sewer. Everyone who has moved here for a few short years,

you are part of the growth especially, if you are in the new neighborhoods. All of the new

neighborhood were farm land or vacant tracts of land.

Commissioner Justice no report.

Vice Mayor Trivett thanked everyone for attending. Been here for about 11 years but he loves

this place. Shout out to the Parks Department for Halloween in the Park. Great to see

everyone. He was able to do a ride-along with Community Service, amazing on what goes on

at night after we are in our homes. Looking forward to working with all the city departments.

Thanked the sponsors for the City Beautiful vehicle. MJHS vs.GHHS game is this week, best

of luck to each team. Wants us all to be "MJStrong". We cannot slow down the landowners

who have every right to do what they want with their land (selling). Encouraged the

homeowners who do not want development in their area to buy the land and turn it into

greenspace.

Commissioner Hefner thanked everyone for attending. Much belated birthday to the MJFD.

Thanked everyone who reached out to he and his wife who lost their beloved dog, "Buddy".

Appreciates the thoughts and prayers. Halloween is next week, please be mindful of the kids.

Mayor Maness stated he is glad to be part of the Leadership Wilson group. He has done a

few ride alongs in the past with the MJPD, some nights lots happens others it is very quiet.

Always suprised about the number of Domestic Violence calls. This is Domestic Violence

month. Appreciates the police and fire and what they do with Domestic Violence. The

Mayors Cup game, MJHS vs. GHHSwill be played this Friday at MJHS. Thanked Volunteer

State Bank and R & M Printing for their sponsorships. Pray it is a safe game for both teams.

City Manager's Report

Thanked everyone for attending. Called Shawn Glover and Tina Burris with Volunteer State

Bank to be recognized. Stated these two ladies have worked in the community for many

years, grew up here and have been very supportive of the City including the t-shirts for the

game. They sponsor several other events at the Park. The local businesses support us and

save the taxpayers money. This is greatly appreciated.

Shawn Glover, Volunteer State Bank stated she honored to be invited to give back. She and

Tina were born and raised in Mt. Juliet, raised their families here and love this City.
