Commissioner Reports & Comments

Commissioner Giles: The BPAC Christmas Light Walk was fantastic. During the campaign

the widening of Lebanon Road was commented on many times. He and Public Works

Director Matt White meet with TDOT this past week. They stated that in order for us to

expedite the widening of Lebanon Road we would need to bring money to the table. He will

be asking for Voluntary Contributions of at least $7,500 per lot to help with the Lebanon Road

widening. He will continue to build a relationship with TDOT.

Vice Mayor Trivett: Thanked everyone for attending. He is positive that the residents that

have been here were also opposed to the current developments that we live in. Congrats to

Lt. Neely and his tenure and hellping build this City. Congratulated the Police officers that

received awards last week. Other surrounding cities are not as safe as MJ. The Christmas

Oarade is this Saturday. Please be mindful of the kids. They will run out in the street. As

parents and adults watch the kids and keep them safe. We do not want an injury. Merry

Christmas and Happy New Year.

Commissioner Hefner: Thanks to the residents in attendance and the online comments.

Appreciates the the emails. During the Christmas Parade please be mindful of the kids

running into the street to get candy. Shop Local anytime you can. Tax dollars drive Mt. Juliet.

Congrats to Lt. Neely. Congrats to officers who received awards and the entire department.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Commissioner Milele: Thanked those for attending attending and the comments. Will try to

educate herself on what the process is when you buy a home. Christmas Light Walk

Neely on his retirement. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thanked everyone for being here. Christmas Light Walk was like small town USA, the snow

made it extra special. Dunkin Donuts donated the hot chocolate for the BPAC walk. The

tree lighting ceremony was special. We always put safety first. Congratulated everyone for

the Police awards ceremony. Vol State Community College owns 20 acres and they still want

to locate here. Please Shop Local. Congratulated Lt. Neely on his retirement. Merry
