Lifetime Achievement Award. The Chamber of Commerce made awards to local businesses.

At the city we promote the Mt. Julietbusinesses. He cannot think of anyone more deserving

than Kenny Martin, he has worked his way up the ladder from police officer, became Chief of

Police, then ECD now City Manager. Mt. Juliet is very dependant on what Kenny Martin has

brought to the City. This is a Lifetime achievement for the City. He is a great person. Young

man he has known since Little League, started Sonic, then went into Banking. Luke

Winchester received the Paul Bauman Award. Paul Bauman started the John Deal Company

who was one of the largest employers in the City. Congratulations. Rocky Lee, Erin, Jennifer

D. the entire parks department for the great event they had for the Daddy/Daughter Dance

this past weekend. Thanks to the parks department and the volunteers.

Commissioner Hefner: Congratulations to all the winners at the Chamber event. Appreciates

what Kenny Martin and Luke Winchester do for the City. The banquet was great. Thanked

everyone for attending tonight. and online.

Commissioner Milele: Recognized Judy Roark with Leadership Wilson who is attending

tonight. Congrats to Kenny Martin and all the winners. In her district the gas line has been

completed for the 3-way intersection. This has to be completed by the 100th CO. The Ethics

Mayor Maness stated the Vice Mayor is out of town due to work. All of the Elected Officials

are Part Time and have jobs outside of the City. Read Vice Mayor Trivett's comments.

Mayor Maness: Received number of calls and emails due to the graphic sent out about the

City of Mt. Juliet. We are a welcoming city and we welcome everyone that is here legally.

Has spoken to the Police Chief and the City Manager and we have no knowledge of anyone

being bussed into our community. We have even called the hotels. Immigration does not fall

under our Police Department's authority. The police department does a wonderful job. We

do need more Federal support. Received another difficult email, a gentleman who was an

illegal alien committed a crime. Our police did all they could on the investigation.

Congratulations to City Manager Kenny Martin and to everyone who helps make this city

great.
