[00:00:01]
WE DID DO THIS AS A THREE YEAR
[ Brentwood City Commission Briefing October 8, 2026 Click on Download PDF Packet above to view Briefing Agenda Following discussion of the October 12th Agendas, the items below will be discussed: Commission's direction for the City's request to the Election Commission regarding Early Voting details for the 2027 election, including desired satellite location(s) within Brentwood and the requested timeframe within the statutory window Q&A for Public Records Requests This informational meeting is an opportunity for the Board of Commissioners to discuss the upcoming agenda, to ask questions of staff and applicants, and to request additional information prior to the formal Monday meeting.]
AGREEMENT WITH TWO OPTIONAL ONE YEAR TERMS. SO NEXT FIVE YEARS ON THIS WITH CPI INCREASES, SO THEY'RE NOT STUCK AT $30,000 A YEAR.UM, ALSO IN YOUR AGENDA ITEM, THEIR PRICE SHEET, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
BUT, BUT AGAIN, THE, THE AMOUNT PER YEAR IS, IS REQUESTED TO BE $30,000 FOR FOR THAT.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? YEAH, JUST SO SOME OF OUR LED STUFF IS FAIRLY NEW EQUIPMENT.
UM, IS ANY OF IT STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND ARE THERE ANY WARRANTY CONSIDERATIONS OR AT THIS POINT, IS EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH OUTTA WARRANTY? AND THIS IS, UH, I DON'T KNOW, DALE, DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT ABOUT THE ELED IF ANY OF IT'S UNDER WARRANTY? UM, SOME OF IT IS KEN, YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU CALLED ME A COUPLE TIMES LAST YEAR WHEN IT'S A LOT OF THE UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL LINES IS WHAT SOUTH PRO DOES FOR US.
SO THE LED SWITCHOVER WAS ANOTHER COMPANY.
THIS IS BASICALLY THE MAINTENANCE.
SO THE BEAUTY OF SOUTH PRO IS HE HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH NES THAT WHEN HE'S OUT THERE, IF IT'S NE S'S SIDE, SO SOMETIMES THEY DON'T KNOW UNTIL THEY GET INTO THE PROBLEM OR A FULL BOX OR THE UNDERGROUND, HE HAS AUTHORITY TO GO AHEAD AND REPAIR NE S'S SIDE AND REPAIR OUR SIDE AND HE BUILDS SEPARATELY AND ACCORDINGLY.
TO WHERE IF HE, HE DID NOT HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP AND IT WAS ANY S'S, HE WOULD HAVE TO STOP, WE'D HAVE TO PUT IN A WORK ORDER AND SOMETIMES WAIT TWO WEEKS TO TWO MONTHS FOR NES TO FIX THEIR SIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL.
SO THAT IS, SO THIS, SO THIS IS A ONE ONE STOP SHOP.
SO THEY CAN DO, THEY CAN DO THE WARRANTY WORK OR THE CUSTOMER PAY WORK WAY.
AND HE CAN BILL BOTH ENTITIES SEPARATE WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT AND PAUSE AND, AND THEN A WORK ORDER FROM NES, WHICH COULD TAKE MONTHS.
AND ALSO WE CAN LOOK ON THAT, THE LED TO FIND OUT ABOUT WARRANTY.
JUST IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, I CAN LOOK THAT UP.
NO, I MEAN Y'ALL ANSWERED EXACTLY THE QUESTION I WAS ASKING, SO JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS UNDER WARRANTY OR THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A BIG HINKY SET UP IF WE FOUND SOMETHING THAT A WARRANTY AND HAD TO STOP AND START OVER.
BEEN DIAGNOSED IN WARRANTY OR NOT.
IT'S A KIND OF BIG DEAL SOMETIMES.
OKAY, THE NEXT ONE, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH MID-SOUTH RESTORATIONS FOR THE CIS CISTERN RESTORATION AT THE RAVENSWOOD MANSION.
AND THAT CISTERN, LIKE AN OLD WELL PUMP TYPE THING IS OVER BY THE ROOT CELLAR.
I THINK Y'ALL MIGHT REMEMBER THAT IN, WHAT WAS IT, 2023 I THINK JIM THOMPSON OF CENTRIC ARCHITECTURE DID A BIG, UM, SURVEY ESSENTIALLY OF RAVENSWOOD OF OUR HISTORICAL PROPERTIES TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SHAPE THINGS WERE IN.
AND HE DID NOTE THAT THIS ONE WAS ESSENTIALLY FALLING APART.
SO MID-SOUTH RESTORATIONS HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH US THERE AT, UM, AT THE MANSION AND AT COAL SPRINGS HOUSE.
SO THEY WILL BE DOING THE WORK FOR, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BID BECAUSE THIS IS, AGAIN, SO SPECIFIC, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT A LOW BID TYPE ITEM.
SO, UM, BUT Y'ALL CAN SEE, OH, I THINK I ACTUALLY HAVE PICTURES.
UM, SO THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN YEAH.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL BE A GOOD REPAIR.
IT WON'T FUNCTION OF COURSE, BUT IT'LL, IT'LL BE BACK LOOKING LIKE IT USED TO.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE MORE THAN WHAT THE DOLLAR HAD.
I WAS AFRAID IT WAS GONNA HAVE ANOTHER NUMBER IN THERE.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT CAN PRETTY BIG PROJECT.
IT WORKED OUT AND LOOK GOOD AND BE SAFE AND ALL THAT STUFF.
ALRIGHT, NEXT WE HAVE A REQUEST TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR A COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL PROCESS FOR AV EQUIPMENT AT THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
UM, Y'ALL MIGHT REMEMBER THAT PURSUANT TO CODE, YOU HAVE TO AUTHORIZE US TO DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND THOSE ARE DONE WHEN EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS COST.
UM, SARAH MIGHT WANNA WEIGH IN, BUT YOUR MEMO EXPLAINS THAT SINCE 2021, SOME OF THE AV EQUIPMENT HASN'T WORKED OUT QUITE AS, AS WELL AS WE WOULD LIKE TO AND, AND DONE EXACTLY WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO OR NEEDED TO.
SO SARAH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO I IT UP AND IT'S FIVE YEARS OLD AT THIS POINT.
IT'S KIND OF OUR NORMAL REFRESH SCHEDULE ANYWAY.
UM, AND OF COURSE ANY CONTRACT THAT IS AWARDED PURSUANT TO THE COMPETITIVE PROCESS, WE'LL COME TO YOU ALL FOR APPROVAL.
SO OF COURSE WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE CHALLENGES IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM.
ARE THERE OTHER ROOMS BESIDES THE COMMUNITY ROOM THAT ARE COVERED BY THIS OR? YES, WE'RE GOING TO DO, UM, SOME OF THE CONFERENCE ROOMS AS WELL AND, UH, THAT CLASSROOM THAT'S DOWNSTAIRS.
SO WE, WE DID, UM, KIND AN INVENTORY OF THE WHOLE BUILDING AND ALL THE AV EQUIPMENT THAT'S IN THAT BUILDING OKAY.
TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WHAT WE CAN KEEP.
OKAY, THIS NEXT ITEM IS A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE ADMITTED CLASSIFICATION OF PAY PLAN AND PERSONNEL SCHEDULE.
UM, YOU ALL HAVE KIND OF GIVEN THE HEAD NOD TO THE PERSONNEL SCHEDULE.
IT WAS ALL THESE ITEMS WERE LISTED IN YOUR BUDGET TRANSMITTAL MEMO.
UM, AND HISTORICALLY THIS HAS BEEN ADOPTED AS PART OF THE BUDGET, BUT, UM, LAST YEAR I THINK WE AS STAFF DECIDED IT WAS BETTER TO ADOPT THESE
[00:05:01]
SEPARATELY BY RESOLUTION SO THAT THEY CAN BE UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS POSSIBLE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DO A FULL BUDGET AMENDMENT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.BUDGET AMENDMENT OF COURSE, HAS TO BE DONE BY ORDINANCE.
THIS COULD BE DONE BY RESOLUTION.
SO THIS IS KIND OF A HOUSEKEEPING MEASURE.
AGAIN, YOU ALL HAVE GIVEN HEAD NODS TO ANY CHANGES IN THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT UM, WHAT WAS PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL ALREADY IS, UM, PUBLIC WORKS CONVERTING A MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN INTO A TRAFFIC OPERATIONS TECHNICIAN PLANNING AND CODES THE SENIOR CITY PLANNER POSITION TO ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR FIREARM RESCUE, ADDING AN ASSISTANT FIRE MARSHAL AND IN HUMAN RESOURCES CONVERTING ONE PART-TIME HR SPECIALIST TO A FULL-TIME HR SPECIALIST POSITION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? APRIL? WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY.
ALRIGHT, WE ARE ROCKING AND ROLLING Y'ALL.
OKAY, THIS NEXT ONE, ANOTHER, UM, HUMAN RESOURCES.
THIS IS AMENDING THE CITY'S PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS.
AND THIS IS INCREASING THE, UM, INCENTIVE FOR ADVANCED EMTS.
UM, SO IT'S CURRENTLY A DOLLAR 45 AN HOUR IS THE INCENTIVE THAT PROPOSED IS 2 25 AN HOUR, WHICH WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO $4,653 INCENTIVE OR PER YEAR INCENTIVE.
AND FOR PARAMEDICS IT'S THREE 14 PROPOSED TO BE $5, WHICH WOULD BE AN ANNUAL EQUIVALENT OF 10,340.
SO AGAIN, THAT'S JUST KIND OF STILL TRYING TO KEEP THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST AND INCENTIVIZE THESE FOLKS WHO ARE REALLY GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO GET THESE CERTIFICATIONS.
DOES THAT MAKE US COMPETITIVE THEN WITH OTHER, UH, SERVICES THAT USE PARAMEDICS? I THINK WE'RE STILL TRYING.
SO ARE, ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT OF OUR, OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALL UNDER THIS ALSO PART OF OUR FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT? OR IS THIS, THESE ARE CITY EMPLOYEES, SO, SO THIS IS ANYBODY WHO, OKAY, SO FIRE AND RESCUE, RESCUE EMPLOYEES DOING THIS? YES.
NOT, NOT WILLIAMSON COUNTY EMT.
THESE, SO, AND DO WE HAVE WILLIAMSON COUNTY EMTS THAT WORK? OUR, OUR, WE, WE HAVE THEM IN OUR LOCATIONS AS WELL, RIGHT? WE DO.
THEY COME SO THIS IS LOCATION SPECIFIC? THIS IS JUST NO, NO, THESE ARE FOR OUR CITY EMPLOYEES.
THESE ARE FOR OUR BRIGHTWOOD FIRE AND RESCUE STAFF WHO HAVE THESE CERTIFICATIONS.
NEXT WE HAVE THE PURCHASE OF TWO AMCAS COMBI TOOLS FOR ENGINE 52 AND POWER 51.
THESE ARE EXTRICATION TOOLS AND ANYONE WHO'S DONE CITIZEN FIRE ACADEMY HAS GOTTEN TO PLAY WITH THESE TOOLS TO CUT OPEN AND SPREAD OPEN THE CAR.
SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT THESE ARE, THESE ARE, UH, SOLE SOURCE.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, SAME KIND OF EQUIPMENT TO MATCH UP WITH WITH THE OTHER EQUIPMENT.
IT IS A SOLE SOURCE, SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE AND IT WAS OF COURSE IN THE BUDGET.
SO, OKAY, MOVING ON TO OLD BUSINESS.
THIS IS JUST OUR SECOND READING OF THE, UM, AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW PROPERTY FOR THE FIRE STATION OFF OF MOORE LANES.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? NO, WE'VE HADN'T BEATEN THAT HORSE.
AND AFTER THIS IS APPROVED, THEN CHIEF COLLINS AND I WILL WORK TOGETHER TO GET A PROPERTY CLOSING SET UP AND GET THAT UNDERWAY AND WE'LL KEEP Y'ALL POSTED ON THAT.
THIS IS THE FINAL ACTION AFTER THIS IS READ.
AND FROM THAT, PER THAT POINT, WE MIGHT STILL HAVE SOME MINOR TWEAKS OF THE CONTRACT TO WORK THROUGH.
AND THE ORDINANCE DOES SAY THAT WITH THE CONTRACT THAT YOU, ANDREWS CAN SIGN THE CONTRACT IN SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM AS WE'VE PRESENTED IT TO YOU, SUBJECT TO MY APPROVAL.
AND THAT IS JUST TO GET, LIKE, IT WILL NOT SUB SUBSTANTIVELY CHANGE, IT'S JUST IRONING OUT SOME, MAYBE SOME DATES FOR CLOSING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, AND REMIND ME, OR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW OR NOT, IS THIS ALREADY IN THE BUDGET AND AUTHORIZED TO PAY WHERE ONCE WE DO THIS AND THEN I SIGN THE CONTRACT, ASSUMING EVERYTHING GOES WELL, DOES IT COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION FOR FOR PURCHASE OR IS THAT IT? THE MONEY'S ALREADY, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
JUST MAKING SURE THAT'S AWESOME.
SO WE ARE READY TO ROCK AND ROLL ONCE YOU GUYS, IT'S A GREAT LOCATION AND A REALLY IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT FOR OUR, UH, SERVICE.
SO THAT IS, AND AGAIN, HERE'S THE MAP AS YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH.
NO OLD BUSINESS, BUT OUR NEW BUSINESS IS ASSIGNING A ZONING TO THAT WATER TANK PROPERTY OFF OF HICK CREEK BOULEVARD.
SO AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS, AS YOU ALL KNOW.
UM, IT WILL BEGIN TO THE, THE REZONING PROCESS TO ASSIGN SI THREE ZONING TO TO IT, WHICH IS SERVICE, INSTITUTIONAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL, AND GOVERNMENT.
UM, SO DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? AGAIN, JUST CHECKING THE BOX
[00:10:01]
SO IT'S NOT LIKE AN S SI THREE SR OR ANYTHING BECAUSE, CORRECT.SO S SI THREE IS ALREADY WRITTEN WITH THIS IN MIND.
IT IS, THIS IS THE YES FOR GOVERNMENT USE, THE USE THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY, THERE ARE NO SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
SO THIS IS THE TANK THAT'S ALREADY BUILT.
AGAIN, HERE'S THAT I NEED TO GET BETTER.
HOLLY'S OUT SICK TODAY, SO I'M A LITTLE BEHIND WITH MY, WITH MY CLICKING.
AND AGAIN, HERE'S THE PROPOSED SCHEDULE.
WE ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE, UM, WITH THIS ASSIGNING THIS STILL GOT MORE TO GO.
UM, COMMISSIONER TRAVIS, OF COURSE YOU'LL GET SOME MORE PLANNING COMMISSION VIEWS OF IT AS WELL.
SO THE FIRST ITEM OF DISCUSSION, WE HAVE TWO ITEMS TODAY.
UM, THE FIRST IS GETTING DIRECTION FROM YOU ALL ON REQUEST TO THE ELECTION COMMISSION FOR EARLY VOTING DETAILS FOR THE MAY TWO, MAY 4TH, 2027 ELECTION, WHICH I KNOW WE ALL KNOW WE'LL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.
UM, SO, UH, OKAY, SO HERE YOU GO.
YOU HAVE THE ELECTION IS MAY 4TH, AND AS Y'ALL REMEMBER, TENNESSEE LAW ESTABLISHES THE EARLY VOTING PERIOD AND IT'S KIND OF A WEIRD WINDOW.
HOLD ON A SECOND, LET ME SHOW YOU THE, THIS IS WHAT IT'S GONNA BE.
SO IT'S, IT'S THE PERIOD THAT'S BETWEEN 20 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION AND FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
SO THAT'S THE STATUTORY WINDOW.
UM, NO MATTER WHAT THE ELECTION COMMISSION STAYS OPEN AS A PRECINCT DURING THAT ENTIRE TIME, BUT CITIES CAN REQUEST THE ELECTION COMMISSION FOR TO HAVE SATELLITE VOTING LOCATIONS.
UM, YOU COULD DO ONE, YOU COULD DO TWO, YOU COULD DO 14.
UH, BUT OF COURSE WE HAVE TO PAY FOR STAFFING OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 'EM AND STUFF.
SO, UH, WHAT WE DID FOR THE 2025 ELECTION WAS JUST ONE WEEK AT THE LIBRARY WITH THE WEEKDAY HOURS BEING EIGHT TO SIX, AND THEN THE SATURDAY HOURS BEING EIGHT TO ONE.
NOW THAT ELECTION, Y'ALL MAY REMEMBER IT WAS KIND OF BOUNDED BY EASTER AND I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE DECISIONS TO DO ONLY ONE WEEK.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S, IT'S, IT'S COMPLETELY UP TO THE COMMISSION WHAT WE REQUEST OF THE ELECTION COMMISSION.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I DON'T THINK THAT THEY WOULD EVER TURN US DOWN FOR WHAT WE REQUEST, BUT AGAIN, IT IS JUST A REQUEST TO THEM.
UM, EASTER THIS YEAR IS IN MARCH, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GOOD FRIDAY YEAR ANY CLOSURES OF, UM, VOTING PRECINCTS DUE TO THAT STATE HOLIDAY.
SO CAN WE LOOK AT THE CALENDAR? ABSOLUTELY.
AND AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WELL, I SHOULDN'T SAY MORE IMPORTANTLY, BUT SIMILARLY IMPORTANTLY TO THE HOLIDAY, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WE SUFFERED ANY LACK OF VOTER TURNOUT.
SO BASED ON THE NUMBERS AND MM-HMM
AND IT IN SOME WAYS IT SEEMED LIKE IT MADE IT EASIER FOR VOTERS TO FOCUS MM-HMM
UM, AND I THINK IT WAS, WHEN WE SAY ONE WEEK, I THINK IT WAS WHAT, TWO SATURDAYS? AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ONLY ONE SATURDAY AT THE TIME.
WAS IT ONE SATURDAY? IT WAS, I THOUGHT IT STARTED ON THE SATURDAY.
UH, YOU COULD ACTUALLY, I THINK SO EIGHT 24TH, IT WAS A THURSDAY.
I FEEL LIKE IT WAS TWO SATURDAYS.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND THEN TWO SATURDAYS.
IS WHAT WHAT I FEEL LIKE IT WAS OKAY, BUT I'M, UNLESS ANYONE HAS, UM, YOU KNOW, AN OBJECTION, I MEAN, PERSONALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON VOTER TURNOUT AND THAT IT HELPED PEOPLE FOCUS BETTER AND THAT IT ALSO, THERE'S SIGNIFICANTLY LESS EXPENSIVE IT IS.
I DON'T MIND USING THAT AS OUR PATTERN GOING FORWARD.
SO ONE WEEK, WHICH WOULD BE THE OR, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S, YEAH.
LEADING UP TO THE 30TH IS ONLY FOUR DAYS.
SO YOU WOULD DO THE 22ND THROUGH THE 29TH.
DOES THAT WORK? GIVE US ONE SATURDAY.
I THINK IF WE WENT TO THE, IF WE STARTED ON THE 17TH, THAT WHOLE WEEK OF THE 26TH WOULD BE TOO LONG.
AND WE DON'T WANT DO IT FROM LIKE THE, THE FRONT END OF THE EARLY VOTING PERIOD WHEN WE HAVE A LONG GAP BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
SO, SO ENDING ON THE LAST DAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY AND BACKING UP FROM THERE, IT GOTTA END ON THE 29TH.
29TH IS YOUR LAST POSSIBLE EARLY VOTING PERIOD.
22ND THROUGH 29TH IS OKAY BECAUSE IN SCHOOL BREAK WAS THE COUNTY SCHOOL BREAK.
UH, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY BREAK DURING THAT TIME.
IS IT TRADITIONALLY THE EASTER TIME OR DO THEY IT IS, YEAH, IT IS, YOU'RE RIGHT.
SPRING BREAK IS USUALLY FAR ENOUGH.
IT'S IN MARCH, ELECTION DAY THAT, THAT'S USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE PUT THEIR SIGNS UP MM-HMM
SO AGAIN, THE ELECTION DAY IS, WOULD BE THE BLOCK RIGHT BELOW THE 27 FOR, UM, FOR THAT, UM, HISTORICALLY NOT COUNTING 2025, HAS IT BEEN LIKE A, A ONE WEEK PERIOD? YOU KNOW WHAT, IN 2023 AND 2021, IT WAS CLOSER TO THE FULL TWO WEEK PERIOD.
AND AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IMPACTED DEAD POLLS, WHICH AGAIN, WHO, WHO KNOWS? THERE
[00:15:01]
COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF REASONS FOR THAT.BUT YEAH, AS, AS MAYOR ANDREWS SAID, THERE IS A COST FOR HOW LONG YOU HAVE IT AND HOW MANY LOCATIONS.
WE ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL REMEMBER, I USED TO HAVE IT HERE AT CITY HALL TOO.
WE, SO WE HAD TWO, WE HAD THE LIBRARY AND CITY HALL AND I THINK CITY HALL WAS PROBABLY LIKE KIRK, ME AND KAREN VOTING LIKE LITERALLY.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TURNOUT WE HAD IN HERE ONE TIME AND THEY'RE LIKE, YEAH, NO, NO, NO.
SO I ALSO THINK, I MEAN, I AGREE THAT THAT TWO WHOLE WEEKS IS TOO LONG BECAUSE THE OTHER THING YOU HAVE TO, UH, RECOGNIZE IS GETTING COLD WORK OR RIGHT.
UM, TO MAN THE MACHINES, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT LONG.
WELL AND JUST THE LIBRARY TO NOT MAKE IT SO CHAOTIC FOR THE KIDS AND JUST YEAH.
IT WAS REALLY MY, MY FIRST CAMPAIGN, YOU, KEN AND STEVE AND I WERE ALL OUT THERE IN 2019.
I WAS SHOCKED HOW BUSY THE LIBRARY IS.
YOU KNOW, SO TRYING TO COMPETE WITH ALL THAT AND I THINK WE CANCELED ONE OF THEIR YOGA CLASSES
WELL AND THAT IS A GOOD POINT TOO BECAUSE THE ELECTION COMMISSION TRUMPS AS, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL REMEMBER THE LAWSUIT BEFORE I CAME HERE.
SO THE ELECTION COMMISSION DOES TRUMP WHATEVER CITY ACTIVITIES WE HAVE.
SO I, THE, UM, THE BOOK SALE GAVE BOOK SALE WOULD PROBABLY BE THE WEEK OF THE SEVENTH.
THE SECOND WEEKEND, SECOND WEEK.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE 22ND THROUGH 29TH AND I'M ASSU I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO CLARIFY THAT THAT WOULD BE AT THE LIBRARY.
AND THEN WE WILL ALSO ASK WHAT WE DID LAST TIME.
THEY WILL DO WHICHEVER SATELLITE VOTING LOCATIONS, BUT WE ASK THEM TO DO BRENT HAVEN CHURCH AND THE LIBRARY FOR THE ELECTION DAY.
I WILL SEND YOU IF THAT LETTER WILL COME FROM JASON, BUT I'LL PROBABLY DRAFT IT UP FOR HIM AND WE'LL SEND IT OUT TO YOU ALL FOR REVIEW IF THAT WORKS.
AND EVEN THOUGH WE SAY 22ND THROUGH 29TH, SUNDAY'S NOT INCLUDED.
DALE, DO YOU HAVE A POINT? I DO BECAUSE WE, WE JUST PICKED UP THE EARLY ELECTION FOR OCTOBER.
CAN I JUST ASK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THE, THE ONE IN OCTOBER THAT RUNS FOR FOUR FROM THE 14TH OF THE 29TH? DO WE NOT SELECT? WE DON'T SELECT.
THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I GET, I HAVE YES, ABSOLUTELY.
AND WE HAVE TAKEN THE SIGN BEFORE RIGHT.
AND HAD SOME CONFUSION IN THE PAST WHERE JOHN P HOL HOURS WERE DIFFERENT THAN WILLIAMSON COUNTY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT STUCK WITH THAT, BUT I HAD THAT.
THEY, THEY DIRECT US COMPLETE AND, AND WITH THAT SAID, THEY DIRECT US FOR THIS TOO, BUT WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE THE REQUEST AND LIKE I SAID, THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING OF OUR REQUEST AND I, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY THEY WOULDN'T BE THIS TIME EITHER.
SO WE'LL GET THAT LETTER DRAFTED UP.
WE TYPICALLY DON'T SEND IT OUT TILL LIKE JANUARY, BUT, UM, WE'LL GET IT READY.
AND I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT YES.
UH, THE ACTUAL VOTING DAY, HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTE? I'M THINKING THE, OUR FURTHEST UH, FOR OTHER ELECTIONS, OUR FURTHEST EAST STATION IS SAFETY CENTER.
HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTE THERE? BECAUSE WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL THOSE PEOPLE, THE CLOSEST ROOM WOULD BE ALL GOING DOWN FROM COURT.
AND EDMONDSON IS ONE IS OVER THERE TOO.
I KNOW I VOTED AT BOTH OF THOSE PLACES.
I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST WONDERING IF
WHETHER IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A VOTING LOCATION AND SAFETY CENTER.
I CAN STILL VOTE IT WILLIAMSON AT THE ELECTION COMMISSION.
THE ELECTION COMMISSION IS ALWAYS OPEN.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT AGAIN, YOU CAN VOTE ANYWHERE SIDE OF TOWN EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO BE.
WHICH IS, IT'S SUPER NICE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
BUT I THINK WHAT JANET WAS SAYING WAS, IS THAT WE'RE STILL HAVING ONE OVER ON THE, ON THE EAST AND, AND WE CAN PULL THAT.
UM, I THINK IT WAS DETERMINED FOR THE 25 ELECTION THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POLL.
I I REALLY THINK IT WAS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED IN THERE IN 2023, WHICH IS WHY.
AND THE COST AGAIN, AND THE JUST DISRUPTION.
YEAH, I THINK 25 WAS THE FIRST TIME WE REQUESTED IT TO JUST BE BRENT HAVEN CHURCH AND THE, AND THE LIBRARY.
SO WE WILL GET THAT PUT TOGETHER.
THE NEXT ONE JASON HAD ON HERE IS JUST Q AND A FOR PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS.
I KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED FOR THIS AND I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED ME TO PREPARE ANYTHING.
HE SAID NO, HE JUST SAID SOME QUESTIONS HAVE COME UP FROM YOU ALL OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
UM, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THROW 'EM OUT.
IF NOT, YOU CAN ALWAYS EMAIL 'EM TO ME.
YOU ALL KNOW WE GET SLAMMED WITH 'EM.
I THINK WE'RE UP TO OVER, OVER 700 RIGHT NOW, UM, AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR.
SO THEY KEEP INCREASING EVERY YEAR, AS YOU ALL CAN IMAGINE.
AND I WENT TO MY, UH, CITY ATTORNEY CONFERENCE IN SALT LAKE CITY AND HAD A SESSION ON, POOR DEREK HAS HEARD THIS LIKE THREE
[00:20:01]
TIMES, BUT IS A SESSION ON CITY ATTORNEY RESILIENCY.AND THEY WERE TALKING JUST ABOUT HOW, HOW HARD IT IS FOR CITY STAFF NOW WITH CITIZENS USING AI TO COMPLETE RECORDS REQUESTS.
AND WE ARE SEEING AN UPTICK OF THAT WHERE THEY'RE JUST SUPER LONG AND SUPER DETAILED.
UM, AND I KNOW MAYOR ANDREWS, WE'VE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO FOR THESE VOLUMINOUS RECORDS REQUESTS? AND THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO.
SO, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETIMES IT'S ALMOST HARASSMENT YES.
IN THE SENSE THAT WHETHER THEY'VE GOT A, A BONE TO PICK WITH STAFF OR WHOEVER.
AND IT ALMOST SEEMS THEY DO IT INTENTIONALLY JUST JUST TO WASTE TIME.
AND THERE IS A STATUTE THAT IF, IF SOMEONE DOES MORE THAN, AND THERE'S ESSENTIALLY WE WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THAT THEY'RE DOING IT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISRUPTING CITY OPERATIONS AND THEN WE COULD TRY TO FILE FOR AN INJUNCTION.
SO, UM, ONE OF THE FIRST, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT CITY, SOME SMALLER, SMALLER THAN A CITY HAD JUST RECENTLY DONE THAT.
SO IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT WORKS THROUGH THE COURT AND WHAT THEY SIGNED WITH THAT.
SO IS THERE A, IS THERE A MINIMUM NUMBER OR A MAXIMUM LIKE AFTER THIS NUMBER WE, WE CHARGE FOR THAT? YES.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
SO IT'S FOUR OVER FOUR IN A CALENDAR MONTH, THEN THEIR LABOR CHARGES AGGREGATE.
SO TYPICALLY IT'S FIRST HOUR FREE OF LABOR.
UM, AND THEN THEY PAY FOR THE ANY DOCUMENTS.
MOST OF THE TIME IF IT'S ELECTRONIC, THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING 'CAUSE IT DOESN'T COST US ANYTHING TO GIVE THEM THE, UM, ELECTRONIC RECORDS.
BUT THEY GET ONE HOUR FREE OF LABOR.
SO IF THE RECORDS REQUEST TOOK STAFF FOUR HOURS TO COMPLETE, THEN THEY WOULD PAY FOR THREE HOURS OF LABOR, UM, WITH THE, WITH THE HIGHEST PAID PERSON'S HOUR BEING THE ONE THAT GETS KICKED OUT.
SO WITH THAT SAID, REAL NUMBER, IT DOES, IT'S NOT, NOT JUST A SET NUMBER.
SO WITH THAT SAID, THEY COULD DO, ONCE THEY WOULD HIT, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE FASTEST WAY TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS.
SAY THEY DID FOUR RECORDS REQUESTS AND EACH ONE ONLY TOOK 30 MINUTES AND, AND THIS IS SAYING IN A CALENDAR MONTH, EACH ONE TOOK 30 MINUTES, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY LABOR WHATSOEVER FOR THOSE ON THAT FIFTH ONE, WE COULD START AGGREGATING THE LABOR SO THAT, OH LOOK, NOW YOU'VE ALREADY HAD TWO HOURS OF LABOR.
SO NOW WHATEVER IT COSTS THEN DOES KICK OVER TO THAT TIME WHERE WE CAN CHARGE FOR STAFF LABOR.
LIKE CAN WE, WE CAN'T CHARGE MORE OR THAT'S STATUTORY.
SO YEAH, AND TENNESSEE DOES HAVE ONE OF THE MOST OPEN, OPEN RECORDS LAWS.
UH, WE ARE UP THERE WITH FLORIDA OF THINGS THAT ARE PUBLIC.
SO PRETTY MUCH ALL THAT WE DO IS PUBLIC.
AND ALSO WITH THAT SAID, MY MY FRIENDLY REMINDER IS IF YOU'RE DOING CITY BUSINESS ON YOUR PERSONAL PHONE, JUST DON'T, FIRST OF ALL.
AND SECOND OF ALL THAT IS PUBLIC RECORD.
SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT, AND, AND I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE SEEN THAT WHEN HOLLY EMAILS OUT AND SAYS, HEY, WE GOT A REQUEST AND THIS ANYTHING YOU MIGHT HAVE ON YOUR PERSONAL PHONE.
SO THOSE THINGS, IF YOU'RE DOING CITY BUSINESS LIKE ON ON YOUR GMAIL OR WHATEVER, THAT THAT IS STILL CONSIDERED A CITY RECORD.
SO JUST TRY TO KEEP EVERYTHING TO YOUR CITY EMAIL, UM, AND TO YOUR, ANY PHONE CALLS AND STUFF AND TEXT MESSAGES ON YOUR, ON YOUR CITY PHONE.
SO CHRIS, IF WE'RE USING OUR PHONE, OUR PERSONAL PHONE TO ACCESS THE OUT THE CITY OUTLOOK YES.
THAT, THAT'S DIFFERENT, RIGHT? THAT'S DIFFERENT.
SO IF WE MAKE A PHONE CALL FROM OUR PERSONAL PHONE MM-HMM
BUT THERE'S NO RECORDS TO HOW, I MEAN, HOW, SO IT, WE, AND WE HAVE HAD RECENTLY PEOPLE ASKING FOR CALL LOGS.
AND WE'VE JUST, UM, SCREENSHOTS OF THE, AND AND PROVIDED THOSE AND SOME OF IT, I MEAN LIKE ALONG THE LINES, YOU KNOW, AND HAVING HAD THE TRAINING ABOUT NOT USING YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNTS FOR, FOR STUFF THAT IS INVOLVED IN A VOTER DECISION BY THE COMMISSION, FOR EXAMPLE.
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE WE'RE BEING ASKED TO PROVE A NEGATIVE AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GUESS I HAD FOR SARAH, YOU KNOW, IS HOW DO YOU PROVE A NEGATIVE? I MEAN, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LIKE GO INTO COPILOT MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, WHICH MY, MY, MY PERSONAL ACCOUNTS ARE ALL PART OF THE MS 365 ENVIRONMENT.
SO GOING IN THERE AND LITERALLY FEEDING THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST INTO THE AI THAT HAS ACCESS TO ALL THOSE RECORDS AND HAVING TO COME BACK WITH TO SEARCH FOR IT.
SO, AND THEN SCREENSHOTTING THE RIGHT, THE THE SEARCH YEAH.
FROM THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST.
BECAUSE THAT'S, I MEAN, I GUESS THAT'S SATISFIES A REQUIREMENT.
THAT'S THE BEST THING I COULD THINK OF.
HOW DO YOU PROVE A NEGATIVE? RIGHT.
AND IT IS, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
IF IT, AND, AND WE OFTEN THE RESPONSE IS NO SUCH RECORD EXISTS.
WE DON'T, BY LAW, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CREATE A RECORD OR, SO WE ARE NOT, IF SOMEONE SAYS, GIVE ME A LIST OF ALL CITY EMPLOYEES THAT WEAR BROWN SHOES ON THURSDAYS.
LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE THAT LIST.
WE DON'T HAVE TO CREATE THAT LIST.
[00:25:01]
IF SOMEONE SAYS, HEY, I NEED ALL CITY SALARIES, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT APRIL CAN PRINT A REPORT FOR.UM, SO THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRINTING A REPORT AND CREATING A RECORD, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE RECORDS.
SO IT WOULD BE NEAT IN A WAY TO BE IN THOSE PEOPLE, SOME OF THE PEOPLE'S MINDS 'CAUSE THEY ASK THE SAME THING.
YOU KNOW, THEY ASK, THEY ASK FOR IT, YOU GIVE IT TO 'EM.
TWO MONTHS LATER THEY SAY THE SAME THING.
LIKE, WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED? YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF YEAH.
AND WE HAVE A LOT OF LIKE UPDATED LIKE TIME TIMEFRAME REQUESTS TOO, SO IT'S SO EASY FOR THEM.
SO IT IS, IT'S, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY IT'S OUR JOB, SO WE DO IT, BUT IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING.
HOLLY SPENDS A LOT OF TIME ON THESE.
SO DOES IT TEND TO BE THE SAME TOPIC OR SAME ITEM, OR LIKE, IS THERE A PATTERN THAT WE SHOULD IT GOES IN SPURTS? I WOULD SAY IT GOES IN SPURTS, YEAH.
SO THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WE SHOULD DO.
COMMISSIONERS CERTAINLY NOT TO TRY TO ABSOLUTELY NOT.
IS THERE A WAY, BUT IF LAB ELECTION IS AN INDICATION, I I EXPECT TO SPUR.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO JUST REACH OUT TO THE STATE TO SAY, HEY, LOOK, THESE ARE INCREASING AND CAN YOU GUYS REVIEW THE THERE IS.
WE, WE WILL ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.
SO I ACTUALLY HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S PRESENTING ON THE ISSUE ON THE BURDEN FOR CITIES THAT THAT HAS KIND OF NOT BEEN CONTEMPLATED AND WHETHER OR NOT ANYONE WILL SYMPATHIZE OF POOR CITIES FOR HAVING TO, BUT AGAIN, LIKE THEY DON'T, IT'S WITH THE INCREASE OF AI AND PEOPLE USING AI TO GENERATE THESE REQUESTS, WHICH OF COURSE IS WELL WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS, BUT IT'S, AGAIN, IT'S JUST, I DON'T THINK THAT THE TIME IMPACT WAS NECESSARY CON NECESSARILY CONTEMPLATED WITH THE POLICY AS IT IS NOW.
SO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO SUPPORT THAT.
IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR THAT THIS IS A NATIONWIDE ISSUE THAT EVERYBODY'S DEALING WITH THE SAME THING.
SO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS, I TOLD DEREK, I WAS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS COMFORTING OR MORE STRESSFUL TO ME THAT EVERYONE'S DEALING WITH THE SAME THING, BUT IT, IT JUST, I MEAN, IT'S JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE CHANGING.
SO, AND YOU KNOW, IT IS, IT IS AN INTERESTING THING IN THAT, I MEAN, I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE BURDEN IT PUTS ON, ON STAFF AND ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST USING IT AS A POLITICAL TOOL OR AS A HARASSMENT TECHNIQUE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I MEAN, I KNOW FOR BRENTWOOD WE'RE PRETTY, PRETTY COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENCY.
AND, AND I DO WANT TO PASS ON, ESPECIALLY TO, WELL CHARLES AND HERE, BUT TO THE TEAM, UM, AS A THING EARLIER THIS WEEK AND ONE OF THE FOLKS THERE WAS ANOTHER, THE CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE THAT'S COMING UP AND UM, AND THEY MENTIONED WHEN THEY WERE DOING THEIR RESEARCH JUST ON THE COMMUNITY, THEY WERE GOING TO VARIOUS CITY WEBSITES TO PULL DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS AND JUST LEARN SOME STUFF.
AND THEY WERE SO COMPLIMENTARY OF, IN PARTICULAR FOR BEING ABLE TO FIND OUR BUDGETS, OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, OUR PROCESS, OUR VIDEOS, I MEAN YEAH.
AND THINGS LIKE THAT RAVING ABOUT YEAH.
SAVE RECORDS REQUESTS BECAUSE IF PEOPLE CAN FIND IT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO A RECORDS REQUEST, THEY SHOULD, IF THAT'S THE GOAL OF THE PERSON.
AND WE DO HAVE A LOT OF, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY AGAIN, THE RECORDS REQUESTS ARE THERE, THESE ARE CITIZENS' RECORDS, THEY'RE THERE, LIKE WE WORK FOR THEM.
BUT, UM, SO YEAH, SOMETIMES WE DO HAVE JUST LIKE, HEY, I JUST NEED HELP FINDING THIS.
AND IT'S LIKE AS EASY AS JUST POINTING 'EM TO THE WEBSITE.
SO, AND I FEEL LIKE THIS COMMISSION HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING IN TRYING TO HELP ANSWER PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS.
AND, YOU KNOW, POINT 'EM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND POINT 'EM WITH THE MAPS AND POINT 'EM WITH THE STUFF.
SO I THINK EVERYONE'S BEEN SUPER RESPONSIVE IN THE CITY AS WELL.
I MEAN, CHIEF COLEMAN EARLIER THIS WEEK I THINK HAD A, A COUPLE, COUPLE DOZEN YEAH.
YOU KNOW, EMAILS JUST ABOUT SOME VERY SPECIFIC STUFF AND HE IS ON IT YEP.
IN TERMS OF REALLY GETTING BACK TO FOLKS AND GOOD FEEDBACK.
YOU KNOW, THE, THE TRANSPARENCY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ASPECT I DON'T THINK IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
NO, IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE, IT'S REALLY OPERATING WELL.
WELL AS ALWAYS, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO SHOOT 'EM MY WAY, GIVE ME A CALL, WHATEVER.
I, I GOT TWO QUICK THINGS YOU DO.
ONE THING AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, WE APPROVED THE NEW CELL TOWER AT THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE SITTING THERE.
NOT, I THINK ALL OF US READ 'EM WRONG.
WE THOUGHT, OH MY GOSH, THEY'RE GONNA PROTEST.
AND THEY CAME UP AND SHE, THEY STARTED TALKING.
WHAT THEY REALLY JUST WANTED WAS BETTER CELL COVERAGE,
THEY'RE PUT RIGHT BEHIND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEY SAID, NO, THEY LIVE OVER THERE WHERE STEVE LIVES.
UM, AND THEY SAID, WE CAN'T USE OUR CELL PHONE.
AND UH, SO IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS PRETTY POSITIVE.
I THINK OVERALL, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS NO OBJECTIONS TO ANYTHING THAT WE'RE REALLY DOING.
[00:30:01]
AND THEN SECONDLY, I JUST, I, AND I SENT RAY A NOTE.HE DIDN'T RESPOND, I JUST BRING IT UP.
HE GAVE ME A REPORT ABOUT A MONTH AGO ABOUT THE FUNDRAISING OR THE, UH, VETERANS MONUMENT.
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS.
UM, I WE'RE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
THIS WAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAY, A MONTH OR MORE AGO, IT WAS 135,000 IN RAISED.
BUT I THINK THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME KIND OF TRACKING SYSTEM THAT'S PUT IN PLACE THAT WE GET COPIES OF MAYBE MONTHLY.
UM, JUST JUST SO WE CAN SEE HOW THE FUNDRAISING'S GOING.
BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO END UP VOTING ON SOME OF THIS.
AND I, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE, YOU KNOW.
ON THE CELL COVERAGE THING, IT'S FUNNY, IT CAME UP AT OUR HOA MEETING, UH, LAST NIGHT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY PHONE AT THE POOL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T WORK AND HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR A WHILE BECAUSE IT'S A CELL-BASED PHONE CELL THAT'S A CODE VIOLATION.
WE'RE GONNA SHUT YOUR POOL DOWN,
WELL, AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS, WHETHER OR NOT WE RUN LANDLINE IN THERE RIGHT.
WHICH THAT US THERE SAY HELP US ON THE WAY.
YOU KNOW, DON'T, DON'T SPEND $5,000 ENTRENCHED IN LANDLINE JUST YET.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE, AND YOU'LL SEE IT.
BUT THE, THAT COVERAGE MAP, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT WE GOT, OH MY GOSH, IT GETS GREEN.
IT GONNA HELP THE TWO NEIGHBORHOODS, LIKE THE, THE HERITAGE AND YEAH.
AND, AND JUST I GUESS AS AN FYI, YOU KNOW, WOULD, SO THE ONE AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS OF COURSE IS THE ONE THAT'S FARTHEST ALONG, BUT PLACE APPROVED.
THE ONE WITH THE WATER TOWERS BY SMITH PARK IS A PERMANENT FACILITY THAT'S COMING ALONG.
UH, THE LOCATION OVER BY RAINTREE AND GOVERNOR'S CLUB OVER BY YOU GUYS IS A TEMPORARY ONE THAT'S COMING ALONG.
UM, THAT, THAT SHOULD PRESERVE EXISTING SERVICE WHEN I THINK SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK THAT THE TEMPORARY TOWER MAY BE THE SOLUTION.
BUT ALSO, INTERESTINGLY, I HAD A CALL FROM SOME COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING AT A LOCATION, UM, DOWN MURRAY LANE IN UNINCORPORATED COUNTY THAT'S, UH, I GUESS NEAR CURRY INGRAM OR OWLS HILL.
I DIDN'T PULL THE EXACT LOCATION, BUT THAT WAS THE GENERAL, GENERAL AREA OUTSIDE THE CITY.
BUT, UM, BUT THAT SHOULD ALSO HELP THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS THAT WERE A LITTLE BIT FARTHER WEST.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S PROBABLY, I MEAN, THOSE, THOSE LIKE CAN SIT, I MEAN JUST THE ONE TOWER MAKES A HUGE IMPROVEMENT AND UM, THE COUNTY LIKE, LIKE BRENTWOOD IS ALSO LOOKING FOR A CAMOUFLAGED TOWER.
SO, SO HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT GONNA BE A, A VISUAL CONCERN FOR FOLKS.
AND ARE THEY DOING THE SAME, UM, FOLDING LIKE THE, THAT'S JUST HOW STANDARD NOW THE STANDARD MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING OUT DATE THERE WAS OUR RIGHT.
SO ONCE IN TERMS OF THE WAY THAT THEY FALL, THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST HOW THEY, SO, SO THEY WON'T NEED, THEY'LL GO TO A SMALLER SPACE LIKE OURS.
THEY HAVEN'T THOSE HALL ZONES IT SOUNDS LIKE IN OVER A DECADE.
BECAUSE THAT'S BECAUSE THE CELL COMPANIES WANNA MAKE THE TOWERS THAT WAY AS WELL.
THIS ISN'T LIKE SOMETHING THAT THE TOWER COMPANIES RELUCTANTLY DO BECAUSE OF CITY REGULATION.
THAT'S JUST SOUNDS LIKE THE STATE OF THE TECHNOLOGY.
THAT'S NICE THAT THEY HAVE THE LEASE.
ALRIGHT, ELSE, WHAT AN EFFICIENT MEETING.
WELL, THANK I WAS GONNA TELL YOU TO THE MUNICIPAL, UM, WHATEVER, AND I JUST THINK WE HAVE AN AMAZING CITY STAFF.
