EP: 30 "Tree Debris is Rolling!”
Welcome to Episode 30 of Hello Fairview, your local podcast made right here in Fairview, for people in Fairview, TN, and the surrounding areas. This is a weekly show, released every Wednesday, featuring stories that aim to inform and inspire. Local Radio stations and newspapers don’t exist in small towns like ours, so we will use Hello Fairview to fill that void with news related to Fairview. This is a Value for Value podcast, which means you contribute what you can based on the value you receive. This concept was founded by the PodFather himself, Adam Curry, and his Co-host, John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show, over 18 years ago.
Currently, this is a one-man operation, so if you have any ideas, events, business opportunities, or job openings, please don't hesitate to let me know. Use the contact form on the website, and we will work to get updates into the next episode. You are a producer of this show; you are not the product, because your time and attention are not being sold to advertisers for their value. Some shows will be longer, others shorter, and I'll keep things relevant.
Traffic Time
Construction Busy, where you can wait 5-20 minutes in the morning and the afternoon to make a left and sometimes a right turn on 100 from Old Cox to the Rec Center. The sidewalk project is from Bowie Park to the Rec Center. There have also been lane closures that caused serious backups here and there. The road closures have also been further down towards the Rec Center and School as those drains are installed. There have been a lot of problems with school pickup times, as they are not done before 230, when things start getting busy. It’s truly Luck of the draw if there is a lane closure each day on 100, good luck!
Redlight Update – We currently still have five (Old Cox, Publix, Walmart, 2 at I-40). Still, we will soon be getting one at the new City Center Entrance and at the Cumberland and 100 intersections when that expansion occurs. I’m not sure how it will help or hurt yet, but I hope the crossing guard can manage it during the morning and evening school rush hours.
City Center – They are digging over there again near the road, which appears to still be some utility work, and with the mountain of fill dirt in the back, it will be a while before we see something cool happen.
We’re Growing
They are working on Bowie, so we are still waiting, but there are now piles of trees around, which is a great sign. The storm cleanup trucks made it down Old Cox, and I have seen them running around town every day.
We got two new Firefighters promoted through the process, which is great to see.
Budget Check – With all the talk about the fallout from the City Manager situation, I wanted to dive a little deeper. I will do more looks, but I think the second page tells enough about the story where we knew or estimated that we would be 3.13 million in the hole, and this was known at the middle of last year.

1. Call To Order
2. New Business
a. Consideration and discussion of prospective candidates for the Interim City Manager position.
i. Candidate A – 6:00pm
1. Ken Mclouglin – Thanks for your time, have a lunch on Tuesday. 45 years of public Service, started out as a Marine and was in the Marines for 6 years. Got an internship in Virginia and went up from there with more employees and bigger. He worked at one place in Virginia for 13 years and retired here. Had a 5-year contract at Nolensville, then went to Thompson Station, then retired again. 10 Years in TN.
2. Commissioner Roberts – You have had a couple of conversations. What do you think the top things you would start with?
a. Time constraints on the budget have to be met, and the staff has been working on it, so we have to work on that.
b. Go through the top priorities for each department to see what we can do in this short runway to provide some relief.
c. Land Use and Development Code
d. Police and Fire things like the new Fire truck.
e. Making meetings include a work session to shorten their length, and some other things.
f. Getting things done and moving forward.
3. Vice Mayor McDonald – What is your leadership policy?
a. Open door, and you have to have a close working relationship with them. Schedule regular group meetings and individually, and we may have more budget meetings to get that done.
4. Commissioner Hall – Have you had any experience with FEMA or TEMA?
a. Yes, that’s a unique process. The time constraints and the reimbursement process, and just going through the steps.
5. Mayor Anderson – When at Nolensville and Thompson Station, what was your greatest accomplishment and challenge?
a. Nolensville, I was the first administrator, and this new position presented some challenges. Making the commission and forming a more mature government.
b. Thomsons Station – Infrastructure capacity increased because they couldn’t grow, and wastewater was a big problem. Utility work was a large focus there.
c. There was a lot of change in both places over those 10 years.
d. Worked with Mayor Anderson on some of the coverage for Fire and Police, and how that worked when they needed their own departments.
e. What was your Budget? 5 Year CIP budgets instead of things. This gives you some benefits when it comes to funding and saving for projects.
f. 6-7 million and up to 8-10 million. In Virginia, it went from 50 million to 100 million with some projects.
g. Did you ever propose raising property taxes?
h. No never seen it work because they are more of a burden. Then he talked about how some of the state projects and loans, grants, and other ways to do things. Never found a solution, and working with commercial funding. They have been able to keep a very low property tax and could almost lower it to nothing, but they kept it.
ii. Candidate B – 6:30pm
1. Former Dickson County Mayor Bob Rial
2. UT Martin Public Administration Degree and moved into Banking and Finance for 27 years, and then started working with Dickson County and moved around. Got to drive around, look around, and see things I didn’t recognize.
3. Commissioner Bufalini – How much time can you give the City of Fairview between now and September?
a. Worked with the team to put a schedule together, and worked with the team he had to get going.
b. 20 hours to 27 hours over the next couple of weeks.
c. Working there for 16 years, they have some PTO that he can use. There are some standing meetings. Can start working very soon.
4. Commissioner Roberts – What is some of the first things you need to do based on what you have seen and heard so far?
a. I have been able to research some things.
b. Meeting with the staff to familiarize and hear about the issues, then triage from there. Budget and FEMA, and setting up meetings with the team, and mentioned the Sunshine Laws. I have some ideas.
5. Vice Mayor McDonald – What is your leadership style? Financial Issues, how you dug out.
a. Work with the staff to listen to them. We can solved 90% of the problem by listening to those people. There are also other elected positions with different strategies.
b. We had a large interest payment, and we had to just stop. We never brought anything to the team without a plan to fund it. We had a partially built jail, and we had to change the layout because of staffing requirements stemming from the linear design. They implemented some landfill fees, which helped fill the budget hole by 10 dollars per house.
6. Commissioner Hall – I like the businessman’s approach you have talked about.
7. Mayor Anderson – Greatest Accomplishment and Challenge, I think you figured that out.
a. He talked about a crazy 2009 meeting that felt like a Jerry Springer episode. Worked with the mayor, who didn’t agree, but after a year, they were working. We worked on so much economic development and a couple of hundred million dollars. We had a team to get things going. We had a lot of things that helped education, too.
8. How

b. Current County Mayor: Bob Rial (First elected Aug. 2010, took office Sept. 2010)
c. Previous Known Candidate: Robert Stone (mentioned in 2014 and 2022 contexts)
d. Important Distinctions:
e. Dickson County Mayor vs. City of Dickson Mayor: The information above refers to the Dickson County Mayor (serving the entire county). The City of Dickson has a separate mayor, which is currently Dr. Don L. Weiss Jr., who has served since 1993.

Brought up that they are all liable to the same standards because you knew. Bufalini has too much power, with his wife running for County Clerk; he thinks it is bad for him to hold others to a family standard in government.

i. Passed 5-0

2. There is an amount of money associated with working with the City Counsel and we need to be Mindful. That was from Mayor Anderson and Mr. Carter.
3. We need to get a City administrator because there isn’t anyone at the helm right now. There is an easement battle right now.

b. Resolution 22-26

iv. A Resolution authorizing the issuance of FEMA Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes of the City of Fairview, Tennessee, in a principal amount of not to exceed Two Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and No/100 Dollars ($2,750,000); making provision for the issuance, sale and payment of said note, establishing the terms thereof and the disposition of proceeds therefrom; and providing for the levy of tax, if necessary, for the payment of principal thereof and interest thereon.

v. If you have a house that will be demolished, reach out to your city.
12. Roundtable: Mayor and Commissioners
a. Commissioner Bufalini – Thanks to the City Attorney for the code of conduct. Condolences to the Green Family. April 27th, Ascension will be at OneChurch Home, being catered by Uncle Lenny’s. There is still help for disasterassistance.gov
b. Commissioner Roberts – Thanks to all. Nice to have the cleanup, and it’s nice to have a plan and know the park is about to happen. Excited about the Invest Fairview event, and we can come together to make things better.
c. Commissioner Hall – Thanks to the Green Family, and we have them in our prayers. Thanks to all the City Employees.

There is a park bench that will work to restore it.

d. Vice Mayor McDonald – Thanks to both applicants for the phone calls and coming to these meetings. The staff has done an amazing job over the past couple of weeks.

The State of TN (Not In Order)
1. When Boring Company officials took the stage in July to announce their new Music City Loop underground tunnel, federal, state, and prominent Nashville business leaders attending hailed the project as transformative. But missing from the gathering was any elected official who represents Nashville. Eight months later, company officials went before the Metro Nashville Council
2. A state-controlled board designed to direct Nashville’s tourist tax dollars to multiple projects will work under the direction of the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office, according to legislation moving through the legislature. House Bill 2085 sets up a nine-member joint capital tourism board to oversee $30 million in excess revenue generated by the development zone and $300 million in surplus funds held by the Nashville Convention Center Authority.
3. Despite constitutional questions, the Tennessee House passed legislation Wednesday giving the state attorney general the power to audit and seek the removal of the Shelby County district attorney for refusing to prosecute crimes. The Republican-controlled House voted 71-23, along party lines, to target the district attorney general in the 30th Judicial District, in this case, DA Steve
4. A political action committee set up to support Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s effort to become Tennessee’s next governor received a $1 million donation from TikTok investor Jeff Yass.
5. Tennessee House Republican leaders aren’t endorsing the revival of legislation providing a $20 million tax break to FedEx, despite a billion-dollar-plus investment planned in Memphis. Rep. Mark White, an East Memphis Republican, hopes to return House Bill 1978 to the House floor for another vote after it failed 37-45 two weeks ago
The Bills
All House Session Senate Stuff is busy
How’s the hill, weather report
Back to it, How’s the hill? Passable. Well, it’s been hot and then chilly, but I think we are kinda in hot phase right. This week, the Weather Guessers are predicting highs from 87 to 74 and lows from 40 to 68, with rain forecasted for next Thursday.
New Businesses
Nothing New was spotted. Jingo Java moved over by Uncle Lenny’s, and Vigilance Martial Arts moved to Publix. Ace Hardware is getting a lot closer, and they are hiring now, too. There are still a couple of properties for sale around the area. There are now three commercial properties still for sale: one on Drag Strip Rd and Loblolly Pine Blvd, and one beside Citgo on Hwy 96 at I-40. Then three for lease at : 1707, 2305, and 2332 Fairview Blvd.
Farmers Market
Make sure to head to the Farmers Market every Saturday Morning, 8 AM to 12 PM, at Meseck Chiropractor and Fairview Fresh Deli Doughnuts, located across the road from Publix. There are so many good places to get breads and treats, local beef and pork, local fruits, and vegetables, along with some hot sauce, fishing lures, and other gifts.
Brick and Mortar Highlight
Publix
We need some groceries, and this is one of the main places to get them. On Sept. 6, 1930, George Jenkins opened the first Publix location, known then as Publix Food Store, in Winter Haven, Florida. Today, that brick-and-mortar building still stands and is a part of the National Register of Historic Places. By 1935, Jenkins opened his second location on the opposite side of Winter Haven. In January 2010, Brentwood-based PGM Properties finalized a deal to develop a 14.8-acre site, bringing a Publix-anchored shopping center to Fairview.

The seizure of Native American lands.
Ignoring the British prohibition against settling on Indian lands, backcountry Virginians and North Carolinians built four different communities in northeastern Tennessee: on the Watauga River, in North Holston, in Nolichucky, and in Carter Valley. The white man’s goal was no longer to have trading privileges but to take possession of land.
These are the beginnings of the race to grab Western lands. One standout is Richard Henderson, the most ambitious speculator of Hillsborough, North Carolina. He managed to negotiate a treaty with the Cherokee for the purchase of a vast tract of land (much of Kentucky and Tennessee, totaling close to 20 million acres) in exchange for six wagons filled with goods valued at 10,000 British pounds. One Cherokee Chief, Dragging Canoe, opposed the sale of the ancestral lands and established the Chickamauga tribe that harassed the settlements for twenty years.

For the Kids
There are tons of activities and sports in Fairview to keep your kids engaged. There are cheer programs and recreational teams for Baseball, Basketball, Softball, Football, and more. There is a thriving Girl Scout and Scouting America program in Fairview. If you have a homeschooler, always check the Bowie Park schedule for clubs that meet there. If you have kids who are interested in dance, gymnastics, or cheer, please check out LaLa’s Dance Studio and Elevate Gymnastics and Cheer.

Faith Moment
Unbelief Is Not a Lack of Faith - Bill Johnson Sermon Clip | Bethel Church
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0DmwxLaPSI
I hope you learned about the Parable of the Sea and Sower. I like their description. Having a small amount of faith is not the same thing as unbelief. In this sermon clip, Bill Johnson teaches on faith and the danger of unbelief. Unbelief is not having little faith (faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains), but it is the presence of unbelief. Learn how to tend the garden of your faith by weeding out unbelief to make room for and strengthen your faith. Mark 9:17 was also brought up and dug into a bit, too. The full sermon “The Mountain of Unbelief.”
