1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,020
Howdy, and welcome to episode 30 of Hello Fairview, your local podcast made right here

2
00:00:08,020 --> 00:00:11,740
in Fairview for people in Fairview, Tennessee and the surrounding areas.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,820
This is a weekly show released every Wednesday featuring stories that aim to inform and inspire

4
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:21,020
local radio stations and newspapers don't exist in small towns like ours.

5
00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:25,480
So we'll use Hello Fairview to fill that void of news related to Fairview.

6
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,880
This is a value for value podcast, which means you contribute what you can based on the value

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,780
receive this concept was founded by the podfather himself adam curry and his co-host john c devorak

8
00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:39,840
of no agenda show over 18 years ago currently this is just a one-man operation so you have any of the

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,240
ideas uh events business opportunities or job openings please don't hesitate to let me know

00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,560
use the contact form on the website and we'll work to get the updates out on the next episode

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,860
you are a producer of the show you are not the product because your time and attention are not

12
00:00:54,860 --> 00:00:57,040
being sold to advertisers for their value.

13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,760
Some shows will be longer and others will be shorter, but I always try to do my best to

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:02,460
keep things relevant.

15
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:03,560
Traffic time.

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,700
Well, still very construction busy.

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,600
You can wait 5 to 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon to make a left or right turn

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,080
on 100 between Old Cox and the Rec Center.

19
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:17,320
The sidewalk project from Bowie to the Rec Center is still on like Donkey Kong.

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,640
There's been a lot of lane closures that caused a lot of serious backups there.

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,980
the road closures have been further down now towards the rec center and the schools especially

22
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:32,220
in front of the elementary school there's been a lot of problems with school pickup times as they

23
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:36,840
are not done before 2 30 when things start getting busy when people start getting into the car rider

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,000
line at the middle school and high school and then eventually at the elementary school so it's truly

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,380
luck of the draw if the how the lane closure is going to affect you every day so definitely check

26
00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:54,540
your traffic app to see uh if it what color of not green it is on highway 100 red light update

27
00:01:54,540 --> 00:02:00,400
we still got a total of five old cox publics walmart and i-40 they're getting closer on the

28
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:07,160
city center entrance they had that paved now um so but you know we'll have to see how when they

29
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,760
are going to actually turn that thing on because i don't know how either one of those at the

30
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,560
cumberland and 100 and the city center are really going to help us city center yep they're still

31
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,060
digging, but they've got the pavement down. So it's rock and rolling now. Well, we're growing.

32
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:28,100
Well, on we're growing this time, well, they're working on buoy. So we're, we are still waiting,

33
00:02:28,260 --> 00:02:32,280
but there's still piles of trees and some of the pictures and updates that they're doing. So the

34
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,720
storm cleanup trucks have made it down old cocks that we've seen. And I've seen them every single

35
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,620
day running around town, doing chores and errands and stuff. So they're definitely out there. And so

36
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:47,240
there's been lane closures and partial lane closures here and there as they've been driving

37
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,660
down the road and picking up debris. Um, we got two new firefighters promoted through the process.

38
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:58,420
So that's great to see. And, uh, yeah, I had the budget stuff from last week, but you know,

39
00:02:58,420 --> 00:03:07,940
houses, we went up from a two 28 to 240, still a $3.9 million house and a $254,000 house.

40
00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:23,420
We had five houses sold this last week, March 23rd through 27th, with a $1 million, the most expensive $202,000 for the cheapest, bringing our average for that week to $657,000.

41
00:03:24,140 --> 00:03:30,000
And we've sold 578 homes since December of 2024.

42
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,320
And minimum price was $13,100.

43
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:37,240
And average was $685,000.

44
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,060
So it's not getting any cheaper.

45
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,620
Town meeting updates.

46
00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:46,240
There was no board of zoning appeals, but there was a planning commission on April 8th.

47
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,900
Seven of the nine commissioners were there.

48
00:03:49,820 --> 00:03:53,320
And Ms. Schilling and Mr. Ritt were not there.

49
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:57,900
We didn't have any big citizen comments or anything like that.

50
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:06,920
First old business was PC Resolution 1226, which was a Glenhaven Drive subdivision there.

51
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,060
Um, this basically was talking about, this is across from Jingo Java about the landscape

52
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:19,260
buffer, the steep slope disturbance, uh, the tree bank fund, all these different things

53
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:24,980
that we're trying to, um, get nailed down for, uh, this cause it's the going to going

54
00:04:24,980 --> 00:04:26,680
to be the Jingo retail center.

55
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,300
So there was a lot of back and forth there, but ultimately it passed seven zero.

56
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,120
So it's on like Donkey Kong.

57
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,800
And then Orange Shire had its final plat red.

58
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,240
That's another 14 homes.

59
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,000
That was them filling in the donut.

60
00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:48,240
This has already been converted five acres to R20 off Northeast Highway and doing all that.

61
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,540
PC resolution 1426 passed seven zeros.

62
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,180
This one took pretty much most of the time of this meeting.

63
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,840
This is 115 single family residential subdivision on 111 acres.

64
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:08,740
the commission voted to add a condition to remove the western stub street which provided a dead end

65
00:05:08,740 --> 00:05:14,200
to the county line to hickman county which passed seven zero a second condition required that all

66
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,740
t-dot recommendations regarding the traffic study had to be included in the construction phase

67
00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:24,760
also passed seven zeros however the requested exception for the allowing of disturbance of

68
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:31,160
greater than 20 on specific lots failed with a vote of three to four so basically there was a

69
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,440
couple lots that they were trying to get an exception to. They said they were going to make

70
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,720
the build plot 100 feet back from the setback to be the same. So it'll be flat. And then that means

71
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,760
you just be going off a steep slope from that. They didn't, I think they may have been able to

72
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,040
get that, but they didn't have the exact detail for that lot. It was just that the average was 20%.

73
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,800
And so the main development plan was amended, is passed as amended with those amendments.

74
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:05,000
and so we'll see that which means there will be less houses on that whole thing but the amount

75
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,200
of traffic impact that this have will be the greatest traffic impact to the west side of

76
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:17,900
fairview of any subdivision there has been to this point especially any residents on pinewood road

77
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:24,700
anyone on 100 trying to make their turn to get to 840 or to nashville or wherever they're going

78
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:32,120
so we will see how that keeps going pc resolution 1526 this was an applicant requesting a variance

79
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,560
to lower the posted speed limit from 25 to 20 miles an hour in a closed loop this reduction

80
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,600
allows better site grading with less environmental impact and for improve the neighborhood safety

81
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:51,180
and this was related to um let's see where is this one this one is oh it's the one that doesn't

82
00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:57,820
have the address the way that they wrote the thing down uh so you can't really see it that way um

83
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:07,260
yeah so yep so that passed uh and then the reports came out um from the city planner adopted the new

84
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:11,660
development code talking about all the new projects that were submitted under the new regulations

85
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:17,500
additionally the planning office welcomed the new associate planner nick meek who joined the team on

86
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:24,860
April 6th on several commissioners also wish happy birthday to Ethan of the city staff and then they

87
00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:31,060
adjourned. Then board of commissioners we had two meetings since then we had one on April 16th

88
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:35,560
which is why this show is late because I want to make sure and cover it and this was the interview

89
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:44,220
with the two candidates. Candidate A was at 6 p.m but that was Ken McLaughlin kind of thing

90
00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:51,160
but basically he's already had meetings with everybody he was a marine he did that for six

91
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,060
years got out as an internship in virginia and went up from there from bigger and bigger cities

92
00:07:56,060 --> 00:08:02,200
he worked in virginia for 13 years he had two he had a five-year contract in nolensville when they

93
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,260
first formed the kind of city government and had a city administrator and then he went to thompson

94
00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:12,620
station for five years for it was a contract uh so he has 10 years in tennessee commissioner

95
00:08:12,620 --> 00:08:18,700
Roberts asked, uh, you know, um, what do you figure you think would be the first thing you

96
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:23,540
start with? Uh, he talked about some of the time constraints on having to have the budget ready,

97
00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:28,600
uh, going through things and the priorities of each department to find out because we have a

98
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,660
short term, uh, relief contract and going through there and, uh, going over the land use development

99
00:08:34,660 --> 00:08:41,420
code, making sure that good, make sure that the police and fire things are good, uh, and working

100
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:45,560
on making sure to try to figure out the fire truck and how to fill that gap too and making

101
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:51,240
meetings work. Vice mayor, um, McDonald asked what the leadership policy was. He says, open door. You

102
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,620
have to be close working relationship with your employees, schedule regular group meetings and

103
00:08:56,620 --> 00:09:02,600
individually. Um, and we would be focused more on budget to start with commissioner all has to be,

104
00:09:02,660 --> 00:09:07,760
you had had any experience with FEMA and TEMA. And he says, yes, it's a unique process. The time

105
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,040
constraints and reimbursement process are pretty tough that you have to go through.

106
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,900
Mary Anderson asked, with Nolensville and Thompson Station, what was your greatest accomplishment

107
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:17,660
and challenge?

108
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:21,500
Nolensville, he said he was the first administrator, so it was a new position.

109
00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:25,100
So a lot of challenges just with that and forming a more mature government.

110
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,380
Thompson Station, there was a lot of infrastructure problems there as they increased because they

111
00:09:30,380 --> 00:09:34,260
couldn't grow anymore without wastewater and a lot of other infrastructure and utility

112
00:09:34,260 --> 00:09:35,160
related problems.

113
00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:37,180
But they were able to get a lot of that fixed.

114
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:43,360
and both those places had a lot of changes over the past two uh 10 years and then mayor anderson

115
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,220
asked about the fire and police of them being individual versus their kind of dove into that

116
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:55,540
asked what kind of budget experience he had had process with so he said a five-year cip budget

117
00:09:55,540 --> 00:10:00,340
this gives you a lot of benefits when you talk about capitalizing for projects and saving up for

118
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:04,380
that he recommended the city convert to that method.

119
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:12,300
But ultimately, he had $6 to $7 million and up to $8 to $10 million in Nolensville and Thompson Station.

120
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:18,680
In Virginia, he had budgets that were $50 million and up to $100 million with capitalized projects.

121
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,900
And then he ever raised, did you ever propose raising property tax?

122
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:24,000
He says no.

123
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:28,140
He's never seen it worked and never found it as a solution.

124
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:33,460
He used that with commercial funding and growth and those types of things were able to be more stable.

125
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,660
He said where he was, they were able to even almost make property tax zero because they were making money on all the other things.

126
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:49,580
Candidate B was the foreman, Dixon County, Dixon County, County Mayor, Bob Real.

127
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,080
He went to UT Martin, got a degree there, worked in banking and finance for 27 years,

128
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,540
then started working with Dixon County when his public administration degree.

129
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:04,480
He drove around and looked around things, and there was things that he recognized and things that he didn't.

130
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Commissioner Buffalini asked, how much time can you give the city a fair view between now and then?

131
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,560
He worked with his team, and basically it was like 20 to 27 hours over the next couple of weeks until September.

132
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,220
Working, he worked there for 16 years, so he had a lot of PTO.

133
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:26,600
So there's some standing meetings that he's doing, but he can start working very, very soon.

134
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,740
Commissioner Roberts asked what his first thing he would do.

135
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:40,220
He said he's been able to research some things, but he would start meeting with the staff to familiarize himself with the issues and that budget and FEMA stuff.

136
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,800
He'd be setting up a lot of meetings there and mentioned the Sunshine Laws, and he had some ideas of ways to make things more efficient.

137
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:53,540
uh mr mcdonald uh asked what his leadership style was and uh he said that he would listen to them

138
00:11:53,540 --> 00:11:58,940
and he would be focused on the staff department leaders because most of that stuff 90 of that

139
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:04,260
stuff we can solve by just listening to people um there are also other elected positions with

140
00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:10,240
different strategies and then he said he had any financial issues that he had to dig out he said

141
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,880
that there was a large interest payment that we just had to stop we never brought up anything to

142
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,640
a team to help fund it so that they were always responsible. If they said there was an idea,

143
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,960
we had a way to make it happen. And they had a partially built gel. And just because it was a

144
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,440
linear design, it meant that they had to staff everybody on day one instead of in a pod kind

145
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:37,640
of scenario. They started with some landfill fees that are monthly, $10 per month per house.

146
00:12:38,020 --> 00:12:43,200
And that helped dig them out of that hole and actually helped fund other things because of that.

147
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,960
So it was a small thing that didn't have to do with property tax.

148
00:12:46,580 --> 00:12:51,540
Commissioner Hall said that he likes how he has the businessman approach to a lot of things.

149
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:56,580
Mayor Anderson's asked what his greatest accomplishment was and challenge.

150
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:03,680
And he talked about a crazy 2009 meeting that in the Dixon County that was a Jerry Springer episode.

151
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,140
So I definitely want to go find that.

152
00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:10,580
Worked with the mayor who didn't agree with him for over a year, but eventually they started working.

153
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:15,920
and he had a lot of economic development and a couple hundred million dollars that came from a

154
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,960
business and businesses that came there and he says that's how we got things going and he says

155
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,860
we've done a lot of things in education from them and then that pretty much wrapped up that special

156
00:13:26,860 --> 00:13:32,500
meeting which was before and then they had a recess before they did the regular town hall session

157
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:39,820
and there was a lady at this one the citizen comments we actually had one

158
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:45,580
there she was in the back of the first interview just writing down notes but she

159
00:13:45,580 --> 00:14:03,530
brought up brought up that they are all liable every border Boulder Commissioner because they knew that Mr Daughtry had hired his son and they knew what the laws were and they did nothing until then

160
00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:10,110
And then she started targeting Mr. Buffalini, how he had too much power with his wife running for county clerk.

161
00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:18,570
And he thinks it's bad for him to hold others to a standard of, you know, family and government, but he doesn't hold himself to it.

162
00:14:18,990 --> 00:14:25,290
The city council, Mr. Mr. Carter, stopped her and said that this wasn't ethical, the things that she was saying.

163
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:29,570
And then there was going to be a motion because she had already went over the three minutes.

164
00:14:29,570 --> 00:14:33,830
And then that motion was failed without that.

165
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:36,190
So it was not allowed to do it.

166
00:14:37,630 --> 00:14:39,390
And then they passed the meeting notes.

167
00:14:39,650 --> 00:14:42,910
The fire chief had to add something to it for the last thing.

168
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:47,090
Arts and Crafts Fair on May 2nd is still set for Bowie Park.

169
00:14:47,550 --> 00:14:48,830
There are 60 vendors signed up.

170
00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:52,630
So they're trying to get this thing cleaned up in the next couple of weeks, which I think is good.

171
00:14:53,270 --> 00:14:58,190
Staff comments basically on the police side over time was up a little bit.

172
00:14:58,190 --> 00:15:04,550
training hours are down arrests were about the same as last year citations are down for the

173
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:10,530
quarter auto accidents are down with no fatalities calls for services were about the same slightly

174
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:16,730
down for february march shop with a cop will be starting on july 3rd during that celebration

175
00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:24,570
and raising money for that there was a new officer that got put on his first patrol assignment

176
00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:30,490
Fire Department Chief Hughes talked about that there was more calls last year for this same quarter.

177
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:36,270
Response times increased at 9 minutes and 58 seconds and average call duration was 24-17.

178
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:39,070
Had one structural fire in the city and three in the county.

179
00:15:39,870 --> 00:15:43,950
More emergency and medical than fire calls were done.

180
00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:50,730
The ice storm they dealt with damaged Highway 96 hull and it's getting covered by insurance.

181
00:15:51,210 --> 00:15:52,750
Training hours are doing well.

182
00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:58,790
uh awards and commendations were given out mr knox uh gave the financial report which basically

183
00:15:58,790 --> 00:16:03,450
he gave the account balances and some of the expense statements which was what was given in

184
00:16:03,450 --> 00:16:07,570
the past he was able to present that to them wasn't much questions about that or discussion

185
00:16:07,570 --> 00:16:12,870
and miss carol came up and talked about the economic development stuff that she does

186
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:19,770
i said they're working with tdot and that they could get bring 50 jobs for a project home

187
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:24,830
to our town. So we're there. She's working with a restaurant group, is looking for a piece of

188
00:16:24,830 --> 00:16:29,850
property and they may have found it. We have two healthcare groups wanting to be here. And we've

189
00:16:29,850 --> 00:16:34,710
talked about that quite a few times that St. Thomas with DMA with some specialty doctors and

190
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:40,270
TriStar is wanting to come here May 27th at 9am at Cordell Hall, which is across from the state

191
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:48,510
capital. There will be the healthcare facility of need debate. So that would be a very good meeting

192
00:16:48,510 --> 00:16:53,770
to get to to see what's going on. And so if you want this, make sure you're reaching out to

193
00:16:53,770 --> 00:17:00,170
whichever hospital you want or both of them, I guess, and go from there. We applied for a couple

194
00:17:00,170 --> 00:17:06,370
grants and didn't get it, but because there was too many applications submitted, there was a

195
00:17:06,370 --> 00:17:11,690
lighting grant that has had funding and they're getting ready to do that. This is the lighting at

196
00:17:11,690 --> 00:17:17,550
the I-40 exit. They're waiting for a consultant to get added to do some things, I guess, before they

197
00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:26,850
can start moving. Um, we are 95% down and building permits from last, uh, quarter. And, uh, that is

198
00:17:26,850 --> 00:17:31,190
a lot of that probably is the ice storm. Cause we had basically a couple of weeks of not being able

199
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:36,690
to work. Sales and property tax are up for this quarter. It's leveling out for the year. April 27th

200
00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:44,330
is the one church home event, uh, at, uh, for Ascension health and, uh, gave the invest fair

201
00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:49,870
view will be at Camp Marymount, May 15th, Friday night at 630. There'll be an auction, a get

202
00:17:49,870 --> 00:17:54,990
together, maybe recognize some people there too. They passed the previous meeting notes, all that

203
00:17:54,990 --> 00:18:01,910
good stuff. And then there was an interesting one here too. This was a resolution on, this is

204
00:18:01,910 --> 00:18:09,390
2026, past 5-0, a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute an addendum interlocal agreement

205
00:18:09,390 --> 00:18:14,910
for Williamson County for corroboration for the healthcare clinic. And so basically this was

206
00:18:14,910 --> 00:18:23,970
us saying that we'll work with any healthcare in the area. So, okay, makes sense. Old business,

207
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:37,790
1826. This was the actual contract for the new city manager. This past 5-0, Bob Rowe was nominated

208
00:18:37,790 --> 00:18:41,930
by Mayor Anderson, which meant that Mr. McLaughlin did not make it.

209
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:47,610
City Legal worked on the package with Mr. Jones, and that we needed to discuss things.

210
00:18:47,610 --> 00:18:53,250
And he said that he will only be working 25 hours this first time, but it's a monthly

211
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:55,350
salary, which is $13,100.

212
00:18:55,890 --> 00:19:00,510
So they asked if we could prorate it, and that was going from there.

213
00:19:00,510 --> 00:19:07,990
and then after that Commissioner Roberts and a couple others thanked them for coming

214
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:14,030
and then they passed on another addendum to this amendment so that it would be based on the hours

215
00:19:14,030 --> 00:19:18,590
worked until he got to full time and he would get to full pay by then and so that happened.

216
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:26,590
New business 1926 basically this was the city attorney talking about the BOC and the guardrails

217
00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:30,650
and there was lots of overlaps between city employees and working directly through the city

218
00:19:30,650 --> 00:19:36,950
manager. And that the BOC has technically just two employees, the city administrator and himself,

219
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:41,390
the city council. They went back and forth and be mindful of that. And they were talking about

220
00:19:41,390 --> 00:19:46,710
just trying to get things ready and written out for there. And that traditionally things would

221
00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:52,390
always go through the city administrator instead of directly to like say Ethan on the planning

222
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:57,590
department and that's the way the work chart works and so a new person may allow things differently

223
00:19:57,590 --> 00:20:04,710
um mr daughtry allowed some of those things to go through directly to there to just reduce friction

224
00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:08,830
and maybe we need to change that so this is the code of conduct that passed five zero

225
00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:15,590
2226 passed five zero two this was the safety action plan there's recommendations on highway

226
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:20,190
100 and the coordination from that and the t dot i'll probably have to do like a special little

227
00:20:20,190 --> 00:20:26,030
episode just on this because it's really interesting this is um this analysis is hundreds

228
00:20:26,030 --> 00:20:35,690
of pages long and basically this is fairview is called out uh in here about um head-on crashes

229
00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:41,850
for road departure this is fairview boulevard uh highway 100 from fairview boulevard to the county

230
00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:46,390
line basically there's wrecks as people were trying to make a turn on there then fairview

231
00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:53,190
Boulevard and Cox Pike, a lot of rear end crashes as people cross the road. Highway 96 and New Hope

232
00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:59,370
Road, rear end crashes, people crossing the road, trying to turn. Highway 96 and the I-40 ramp,

233
00:21:00,490 --> 00:21:05,870
head-on crashes and rear end crashes were there. Fairview Boulevard and Adele Road,

234
00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:10,690
rear end crashes and head-on crashes and pedestrian crashes. And so they basically

235
00:21:10,690 --> 00:21:16,930
make all these recommendations like short shorter crosswalk alignments, longitudinal

236
00:21:16,930 --> 00:21:22,730
rumble strips, transverse rumble strips, Fairview Boulevard and Pinewood Road and Spencer Mill Road,

237
00:21:22,850 --> 00:21:27,050
road departures and crash. Basically, if you think about it, those are all everyone that we've

238
00:21:27,050 --> 00:21:31,770
mentioned so far, major conduits where a lot of cars are going every day that they're trying to

239
00:21:31,770 --> 00:21:37,350
make a left or right. And they usually go kaboom. So they have a good map of this that will that's

240
00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:42,350
in the show notes that have all that. And then they basically rate which thing they want to fix

241
00:21:42,350 --> 00:21:50,630
first, which road segment has the highest cost or timeline. So Fairview Boulevard and Park Village

242
00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:56,230
Court to Festival Court has probably looks like it's going to be first. Highway 96, a Loblolly,

243
00:21:56,330 --> 00:22:01,390
Pine Boulevard, New Hope's Pass would be the next. And then Fairview Boulevard to the county line

244
00:22:01,390 --> 00:22:06,890
would be the top three. Fairview and Adele Boulevard is one of the top intersections they

245
00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:13,030
want to do first then fairview and cox and then highway 96 and new hope and then highway 96 and i

246
00:22:13,030 --> 00:22:17,830
40 and then fairview boulevard just spencer mill road and this is all based on like how much it

247
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:22,850
costs how much safety impact it has what the equity is what the context is and they basically

248
00:22:22,850 --> 00:22:29,070
have all this little scoring system and they have an exact budget for all this uh and this is

249
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:39,130
interesting on its own because uh it basically shows it was what like uh yeah 562 000 in

250
00:22:39,130 --> 00:22:46,570
improvements uh for most of the short midterms and then doing the widening uh safety shoulders

251
00:22:46,570 --> 00:22:51,970
and buffered bike lane uh which doesn't have the road but i'm guessing that's on highway 100 was

252
00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:57,590
two million dollars so basically between that was 3.2 million dollars uh and the construction

253
00:22:57,590 --> 00:23:04,290
contingency shows 25 and 640,000. Uh, so we'll see, there's a lot of good maps of some of this,

254
00:23:04,290 --> 00:23:09,590
uh, that they did. So, uh, we'll post those there so you can kind of see it, but basically it's 285

255
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:17,590
page report and a page 74 is when it actually has to do with us resolution 23, 26 past five zero.

256
00:23:18,590 --> 00:23:25,650
Basically this was, um, an update talking about some of the collect collection. Mayor Anderson

257
00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:30,610
said basically the amount of cubic feet that they have collected so far from the monitoring company

258
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:37,370
said that they were below where they did. And some of that had to do with that they did not go back

259
00:23:37,370 --> 00:23:42,690
and revisit other locations. So they didn't go pick up double the stuff. Like Bishop Roberts

260
00:23:42,690 --> 00:23:47,230
talked about that we're still going to finance the same amount of this $2.75 million. And that's

261
00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:52,450
because even if we don't use it all, we can immediately apply this funding to the loan and

262
00:23:52,450 --> 00:23:57,270
that will lower our interest payments. So basically try to pay it off as early as we can.

263
00:23:57,490 --> 00:24:04,110
That passed 5-0. Resolution 2526, this was added during the meeting. And basically this was an

264
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:09,670
official thing that the fire chief needed so that they could help with the demolition and training

265
00:24:09,670 --> 00:24:14,290
at a house that was going to be demolished. So if you ever have a house that needs to be demolished,

266
00:24:14,730 --> 00:24:18,930
make sure and reach out to the fire department and the city, and they will help get the permits

267
00:24:18,930 --> 00:24:24,690
and things ready so that they can practice live fire because if they just practice structure fires

268
00:24:24,690 --> 00:24:30,290
at their tower it's the same scenario every time and so this was really good then the round table

269
00:24:30,290 --> 00:24:35,970
as we wrapped up everything the commissioner buffalini was condolences to the green family

270
00:24:35,970 --> 00:24:43,570
for bobby green who'd recently passed away april 27th is the ascension at one ascension uh event at

271
00:24:43,570 --> 00:24:49,490
one church home which will be catered by uncle lenny's um there there's still help for fema stuff

272
00:24:49,490 --> 00:24:55,410
at disaster assistance.gov commissioner robert said thanks to everybody for coming and especially

273
00:24:55,410 --> 00:25:00,850
the nominees tonight excited about the invest fairview event that miss carol talked about and

274
00:25:00,850 --> 00:25:05,890
things going along from there commissioner hall thanks to the green family we have many prayers

275
00:25:05,890 --> 00:25:09,650
thanks to all city employees and everything they've done since the ice storm and the city manager

276
00:25:09,650 --> 00:25:16,810
event. They've done a fantastic job and they saved us money in the parks with the way they did and

277
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:22,510
all the volunteering they did at going above and beyond. So that was great. And that there was a

278
00:25:22,510 --> 00:25:27,650
park bench that they're talking about restoring. And so if any volunteer organization needs to help,

279
00:25:27,890 --> 00:25:32,490
that sounds like a good opportunity. Brought up how it was such a pretty sunset tonight. Vice

280
00:25:32,490 --> 00:25:36,810
Mayor McDonald basically said the same things as Ms. Roberts to thanking everybody and all the staff

281
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:39,610
for everything they've done and the candidates for coming.

282
00:25:40,170 --> 00:25:43,330
May Anderson thanked the candidates for their time in considering Fairview

283
00:25:43,330 --> 00:25:48,310
and that she had known Mayor Bob Riel for over 10 years

284
00:25:48,310 --> 00:25:50,050
and lucky to gain his experience.

285
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:52,230
Mission the Green family also in the community

286
00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:56,690
and that the flag is half staff at the ball field for Mr. Bobby Green

287
00:25:56,690 --> 00:26:00,430
because he used to run the CRA, which was what was before the FRA,

288
00:26:00,430 --> 00:26:05,110
and talked about his crappy fish recipe and how good it was.

289
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:10,350
but then our next thing uh april 30th we got our board of commissioners town hall

290
00:26:10,350 --> 00:26:16,830
and then parks and landscape board is back on the agenda may 14th and uh may 13th is around town

291
00:26:16,830 --> 00:26:23,310
coffee so that's good state of tennessee the boring company uh took its uh official stage

292
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:27,590
and trying to get some of the business leaders but missing a lot of things there so it's definitely

293
00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:34,770
going um so basically some of the stuff has changed the way it can control so the state

294
00:26:34,770 --> 00:26:40,510
can control it. A state-controlled board directed the Nashville tourist tax dollars to multiple

295
00:26:40,510 --> 00:26:46,130
projects will be used under the comptroller's office according to legislation. House Bill 2085

296
00:26:46,130 --> 00:26:54,110
sets a nine-member joint capital tourism board to oversee $30 million in excess revenue generated

297
00:26:54,110 --> 00:26:59,410
by the development zone and $300 million in surplus funds held by the Nashville Convention

298
00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:05,330
center authority. So basically they got more taxes with this than they expected, and now they

299
00:27:05,330 --> 00:27:11,070
need to figure out how to spend it. So I would hope they'd be using a spend at debt or lower the

300
00:27:11,070 --> 00:27:16,750
tax rate slightly. Uh, so they didn't do this because there's a lot of businesses really going

301
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:20,650
after there and talking about how they were probably as maybe their last year of business

302
00:27:20,650 --> 00:27:26,250
because their assessed value of the property has went up so much and their taxes. So Arnold's

303
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:31,130
kitchen was on a couple of news stories talking about how theirs went from 70 to $140,000.

304
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:37,470
And that's one of their most expensive expenses. And how did they keep doing that as a family

305
00:27:37,470 --> 00:27:40,810
owned? They're not Oracle, they're not Amazon, some of these big companies.

306
00:27:42,330 --> 00:27:55,420
And then the next one here is the constitutional question The Tennessee has passed legislation giving the state attorney general the power to audit and seek removal of the Shelby County District Attorney for refusing prosecution crimes

307
00:27:55,980 --> 00:28:03,180
The Republican-controlled House voted 71 to 23 to target that district attorney in the 30th Judicial District.

308
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:09,100
So basically, someone was not prosecuting crimes, and so they voted to get them out of there.

309
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:16,120
A political action committee was set up for Senator Marsha Blackburn's effort to become Tennessee's next governor

310
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:22,080
And a $1 million donation from TikTok investor Jeff Yoss was given

311
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,340
Tennessee House Republican leaders aren't endorsing the revival legislation

312
00:28:27,340 --> 00:28:30,620
Providing a $20 million break for FedEx

313
00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:34,520
Despite a billion-dollar-plus investment planned in Memphis

314
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,880
Representative Mark White in East Tennessee, East Memphis Republican

315
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:45,800
hopes to return House Bill 1978 to the floor for another vote as it failed 3745 two weeks ago.

316
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,540
The bills. Well, there's all kinds of stuff going, lots of schedules, but it's the really

317
00:28:54,540 --> 00:29:04,140
the House sessions is what it's all House session and Senate stuff is busy. So if we just go through

318
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:15,480
here. There is just a ton of things. So, um, there is, uh, you know, Senate bill, uh, zero two five

319
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:21,760
four. Um, basically this is just a correctional institutions committee. Um, there was another one.

320
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:27,320
I mean, I got a whole list of them here. Let me see. We can see, pick some of these. Uh, there

321
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,800
was a teachers and principals and personnel amends, uh, some stuff there to talk about how they

322
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,860
receive some of their permits and satisfaction and clinical practice requirements and EPP stuff.

323
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:46,280
Another one facilitates the county election commission to designate restroom facilities in

324
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:52,520
each building in which elections are held that are used for workers and volunteer workers during

325
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,520
the campaign. I guess there was access to bathrooms. So we have to put a law around it.

326
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:07,600
And then another one was blood lead level testing for students in certain schools and pregnant women requires the department to keep track of that stuff for lead poisoning.

327
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:10,520
As we have lots of old pipes that are probably still like that.

328
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:17,720
Uh, then another one was to look at damages and non-economic damages, $1 million in healthcare

329
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:25,140
liability arising from, um, obstetric maternity negligence and the death of premature, um,

330
00:30:25,140 --> 00:30:28,140
permanent injury of pregnant or postpartum women.

331
00:30:28,580 --> 00:30:31,060
So something to help there.

332
00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:36,580
Uh, then another one introduced required the department to provide at least one professional

333
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:40,160
development course that provides asynchronous instructions on the use of artificial

334
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,960
intelligence in the cloud made available at no cost to teachers in the grade six through 12

335
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,400
requires such teachers to complete at least one department approved professional development course

336
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,060
on the use before the end of 2027 before the school year starts there

337
00:30:55,060 --> 00:31:00,000
and then within two years of becoming a licensed teacher coming through there

338
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:07,280
then there was a whole bunch of amendments to a bunch of title codes from there authorizes the

339
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,060
Another one authorizes the head of the secretary of state and the adjutant

340
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:14,460
general to file electronically the annual report for functioning.

341
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:16,720
So try to make things a little faster.

342
00:31:18,260 --> 00:31:21,000
And then it was just all kinds of stuff.

343
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,120
I'm sitting here scrolling through it all,

344
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,860
just trying to even just cherry pick it.

345
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,040
The amount of sessions that they've,

346
00:31:26,180 --> 00:31:29,120
that they have on the board is impressive.

347
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,980
And this stuff was all voted on that day.

348
00:31:30,980 --> 00:31:33,740
And so that stuff wasn't even posted as to, you know,

349
00:31:33,780 --> 00:31:35,200
all the stuff that I'm looking like that.

350
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:43,480
So we keep going here. Yep. So that one's about more correctional trials,

351
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,440
Dale Turner correctional facility, um, trying to fix some things over there.

352
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,480
Um, and just keeps going and going and going and going. Uh, it's almost,

353
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,140
it's, it's real hard to try to pick some of this stuff cause it could,

354
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,800
I could probably spend an hour on there. Um, cause I mean,

355
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:04,900
this terminates the dyslexia advisory council and directs advisory council for

356
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:10,880
education of students with disabilities. I mean, this is, it's just every part of our life. Uh,

357
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,560
there's so many things in business that are all related to some of these that are on the floor

358
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:22,900
that were on the floor today. Um, so we'll skip past all this. How's the hill? Well, uh, well,

359
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,260
it's definitely passable and it's been hot and then chilly and mostly hot, but I think we're

360
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:35,160
kind of in the hot phase right now. And this week, the weather guesers are predicting highs

361
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:43,400
from 87 to 74 and lows back down to 40 to 68 with rain forecasted next Thursday. New businesses.

362
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Well, nothing new is spotted. Jingo Java still moved over to Uncle Lenny's. Vigilance moved over

363
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,740
to Publix. Ace Hardware is getting a lot closer. They paved their parking lot and they're hiring.

364
00:32:53,260 --> 00:32:57,240
There's still a couple of properties for sale and lease around here. There's three projects for sale

365
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,680
or three properties for sale and then three for lease if you're in there.

366
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:02,880
Farmer's Market.

367
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,780
Make sure you head to the Farmer's Market every Saturday morning,

368
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:09,680
8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Messick Chiropractic in Fairview Fresh Deli Donuts

369
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,640
located on the road across from Publix.

370
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:17,280
There are so many good places to get breads, treats, local beef, pork, fruits, vegetables,

371
00:33:17,540 --> 00:33:21,480
and along with hot sauce, fishing lures, and lots of other gifts all the time.

372
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,900
Local business highlight this week, we had to do the Publix, right?

373
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:28,220
When you need some groceries, this is pretty much one of the main places to get it.

374
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:36,200
Publix was founded on September 6, 1930 by George Jenkins, who opened the first location in Winter Haven, Florida.

375
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,260
Today, that brick-and-mortar building stands part of the National Register of Places.

376
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,360
By 1935, Jenkins opened its second location on the opposite side of Winter Haven.

377
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,420
In January 2010 is when we got ours.

378
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:55,820
The Brentwood-based PGM properties finalized the deal to develop this 14.8 acres, bringing

379
00:33:55,820 --> 00:33:58,640
a Publix anchored by the shopping center that we're used to.

380
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,380
Job openings.

381
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,120
Well, there is still 48 jobs opened.

382
00:34:03,820 --> 00:34:07,780
There's still a police officer position if you're looking for one there.

383
00:34:07,940 --> 00:34:12,620
And then just like we've said, pretty much there's also a Bowie Park maintenance crew

384
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:14,500
member as the two city jobs.

385
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:20,420
and then basically every business that you see a storefront there is someone that there's a job

386
00:34:20,420 --> 00:34:25,680
there and there's other places like big heart moving company uh there's a moving driver there

387
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:31,420
so that's a place you don't see unity chiropractic still has its job that's that shopping uh that's

388
00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:38,060
that shopping center by papa john's um so you can check that out and then there's like catalino

389
00:34:38,060 --> 00:34:45,020
management there's a physical bit there from there Sherman Williams AMS seals

390
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:53,120
has PG sonic Turner landscaping destination pet LLC so if you have any

391
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,000
other job posting make sure you use the contact form of the website and we'll

392
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,480
add it on here but otherwise we're always just scanning from their history

393
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:05,480
nugget we're going to switch it back to our normal history here 1769 the first

394
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:12,280
settler in Tennessee, William Bean, supposedly the first permanent settler in Tennessee, built a cabin

395
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:19,820
on Boones Creek near the Watauga River. In 1770, there was a seizure of Native American lands.

396
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,940
Ignoring the British prohibition on settling the Indian lands in the backcountry, Virginians and

397
00:35:24,940 --> 00:35:30,660
North Carolinians built four different communities in the northeastern Tennessee on the Watauga River

398
00:35:30,660 --> 00:35:34,800
and North Holston and Nolichucky and the Carter Valley.

399
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,820
The white man's goal was no longer to have trading privileges,

400
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:41,040
but to take possession of the land.

401
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,960
These are the beginnings of the race to grab the Western lands.

402
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,100
One standout is Richard Henderson,

403
00:35:48,820 --> 00:35:53,320
which was the most ambitious speculator of Hillsborough, North Carolina.

404
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:56,140
He managed to organize a treaty with the Cherokee

405
00:35:56,140 --> 00:35:59,120
for the purchase of a vast tract of land,

406
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:05,740
much of Kentucky and Tennessee holding close to 20 million acres in exchange for six wagons

407
00:36:05,740 --> 00:36:14,660
filled with goods valued at 10,000 British pounds. One Cherokee chief dragging canoe

408
00:36:14,660 --> 00:36:21,480
opposed the sale of the ancestral land established by the Chickamauga tribe that harassed the

409
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,180
settlement for 20 plus years. So there's a little bit of story about that. So that was kind of cool.

410
00:36:26,180 --> 00:36:33,280
upcoming events lots of stuff obviously the craft fair coming up is full sports season so you see

411
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:40,920

412
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,460
there'll be that uh flag retirement so that looked like that went good i saw the pictures from that

413
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:55,660
and so um that was great to see and that we're on april 18th uh there is another skating thing

414
00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:56,700
at the Fairview Rec Center.

00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:00,160
And this is going to be the Joust and Jam Skate Night.

416
00:37:00,940 --> 00:37:03,040
And so $6 per skater.

417
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,760
And you must bring your own skates for this one.

418
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,720
And then April 28th,

First Annual Four-Man Golf Tournament.

421
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,240
And then just like we said,

422
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,780
April has already been posted on the Bowie Park

423
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:17,860

424
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:19,900
So on the 23rd,

428
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,080
So it's great. So we'll see some of that.

429
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:41,160
It is voting time. Early voting has officially started on April 15th through 30th.

through eighth grade, they've got a program for you 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and this stuff is in the show

444
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:03,000
notes. And then on April 18th this weekend, we have the sports physicals at Franklin High School

445
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,880
or Fairview High School at 11 a.m. You can register to get your sports physical there.

446
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,320
School news.

447
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,860
Well, May 21st is all we're marching towards right now as the last half day of school,

448
00:39:13,980 --> 00:39:15,500
which will be a dispensable at 1120.

449
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:17,060
Hawk and Tiger news.

450
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:19,000
Well, no new news since last week.

451
00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:23,980
They just, I guess, they don't post the same stuff as everybody else.

452
00:39:24,620 --> 00:39:25,220
Falcon news.

453
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,240
The newsletter was on time.

454
00:39:27,340 --> 00:39:28,760
The Charlotte's Web play was a hit.

455
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:33,760
The girls' flag football is undefeated, has one more game before heading to the end of

456
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,400
season tournament.

457
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,080
Girls' softball is number one in the district.

458
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,480
The golf had an outstanding math with both boys and girls earning first place in their divisions.

459
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:54,300
And then we had a track person throw 78 feet, land in on an impressive three meet PR streak for the long jump.

460
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:58,160
The boys four by 200 earned second place on the battle of 840.

461
00:39:58,740 --> 00:40:04,980
And another one got a award for the hurdles placing second.

462
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:06,060
One of the girls did.

463
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,200
And then one of the others has sent multiple school records to.

464
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:18,160
The String Fling at the movies will be Friday, April 24th at Summit High School with a couple different bands playing there.

465
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,460
So that can be cool to go see.

466
00:40:20,260 --> 00:40:22,000
FMS awards are coming up soon.

467
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,220
So if your student was nominated, you should have already known.

468
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,020
And May 20th will be the Class of 2030 promotion.

469
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:32,080
And they wanted to make sure and thank everyone that helped donate to Grace Works because the food drive went great.

470
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:37,420
and then there was a Tattoo Your Teacher fundraiser that's coming up

471
00:40:37,420 --> 00:40:40,320
and this is from April 8th to April 16th

472
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,060
and this is where you donated money and you could get some tattoos on there.

473
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:47,940
So that was good to see

474
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:53,200
and as always there's been track meets and ball games every single time.

475
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,540
The Fairview Family Night and Student Mixer was this week too

476
00:40:57,540 --> 00:40:58,800
so hopefully that went well

477
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:09,120
and basically it's going to be a lot of stuff related to testing from here on as TCAPs and

478
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:16,360
all that stuff starts happening in the next week on April 21st. This summer orchestra camp is on

479
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,600
there and this is at Freedom Middle School. This is June 22nd through 26th so if you've got a

480
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,880
middle schooler that's in there that wants to do some stuff with the orchestra you can rock that

481
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,860
out jacket news got the newsletter this week most updates were really about the finals

482
00:41:30,860 --> 00:41:50,230
april 25th is the nhs walk 10 a to 2 p at the track basically all sports are rocking and rolling just like the middle school so it very very busy The tennis team is wrapping up some things with some championship The prom is coming up this weekend which makes this Friday today a senior skip day

483
00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:55,430
as everyone gets ready for the party. The FFA is having its plant sale next week April 14th

484
00:41:55,430 --> 00:42:01,870
through 17th and then 21st through 24th and they've got stuff from $5 to $25 and all kinds

485
00:42:01,870 --> 00:42:08,070
the cool flowers. April 23rd is the jazz and trivia night at Kano's being advertised there.

486
00:42:08,070 --> 00:42:13,690
April 17th is the girls high school wrestling. It starts getting going. So it's good there.

487
00:42:14,130 --> 00:42:19,830
The Fairview high school PTO doesn't have anything this time. There is a good video that the ag

488
00:42:19,830 --> 00:42:26,030
department did about farm to table and getting that food. And there's innovative stuff there.

489
00:42:26,170 --> 00:42:30,830
You can donate for the cause there. Senior jackets and rings can still be ordered and

490
00:42:30,830 --> 00:42:35,910
there's still some swag for sale. So definitely check that out. Faith moment this week. I wanted

491
00:42:35,910 --> 00:42:40,150
to look at something that's always been like a common problem within the Christian faith,

492
00:42:40,290 --> 00:42:46,910
you know, unbelief and doubt. And this is from Bill Johnson from the Bethel church.

493
00:42:47,290 --> 00:42:52,590
And I think he did a pretty good job at this. This is the, you know, the full thing, but I hope

494
00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:57,930
this there's a full sermon. This is just a good excerpt about this exact part. So let's get into

495
00:42:57,930 --> 00:43:03,490
it. Unbelief is not the absence of faith. It's the presence of unbelief. There is a difference.

496
00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:09,350
Later he says, I believe, but help me in my unbelief. The problem is, is you can have more

497
00:43:09,350 --> 00:43:17,210
than one seed growing in your garden. The longer I walk with Jesus, the more I find out he thinks

498
00:43:17,210 --> 00:43:23,730
different than me and he's not going to change. And I'm the one that's to change. So that's the

499
00:43:23,730 --> 00:43:28,670
journey I'm on. So what I'm going to do though, is I'm going to, we're going to take a story out of

500
00:43:28,670 --> 00:43:36,270
Mark 9, but I'm going to read a verse out of Matthew 13, out of the parable of the seed and

501
00:43:36,270 --> 00:43:44,410
the sower. I know that it is sometimes dangerous to take elements out of one parable or one story

502
00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:49,350
and mix them with another because they don't always translate well story to story. And you

503
00:43:49,350 --> 00:43:53,630
can sometimes end up with false information. I know that that's true. So I'm just warning you

504
00:43:53,630 --> 00:43:59,990
ahead of time, I'm going to do that. And you'll have to figure it out. I know that sometimes,

505
00:44:00,510 --> 00:44:06,930
for example, the fire of God is always the judgment of God, except that one time in Acts 2,

506
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:11,790
when the fire of God was the tongues of fire, and tongues are a language of praise,

507
00:44:12,190 --> 00:44:18,030
and it's for edification. So it's far from judgment. The snake is always the devil,

508
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:26,190
Except that one time, it was Jesus on a cross who became sin on our behalf.

509
00:44:27,310 --> 00:44:28,710
Earthquakes were always judgment.

510
00:44:29,530 --> 00:44:36,190
Except for that one time in Acts 4, when in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the entire

511
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:38,290
place was shook because of the presence of God.

512
00:44:39,030 --> 00:44:41,230
So what you don't want to do is become too rigid.

513
00:44:41,870 --> 00:44:46,090
And so I'm going to ask you to approach these two stories loosely, because I think one will

514
00:44:46,090 --> 00:44:50,590
actually give us the insight we need for the next one. All right. So this is what we're going to

515
00:44:50,590 --> 00:44:56,230
start is the parable of the seed and the sower. Now, because we're not doing the whole story,

516
00:44:56,270 --> 00:45:00,210
I'm just going to read one verse. I want to remind you, if you're unfamiliar with the story,

517
00:45:00,890 --> 00:45:05,690
parable of the seed and the sower, the seed in this parable is the word of God.

518
00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:11,390
The soil is the condition of the heart. Here's a very important lesson.

519
00:45:11,390 --> 00:45:16,690
the productiveness or the fruitfulness of a word that God spoke

520
00:45:16,690 --> 00:45:20,410
does not validate whether or not it was from God.

521
00:45:26,670 --> 00:45:30,090
Because that parable actually gives us four different kinds of soil.

522
00:45:30,470 --> 00:45:31,390
Three were no good.

523
00:45:32,270 --> 00:45:34,850
The word was authentic, but it just didn't bear fruit.

524
00:45:36,770 --> 00:45:39,570
The fault wasn't what God said.

525
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:46,350
See, many people make the mistake of saying, well, we judge a tree by the fruit.

526
00:45:46,430 --> 00:45:47,330
That's absolutely right.

527
00:45:48,010 --> 00:45:51,950
But they will say, well, we'll know whether this was a work of God or not by the fruit.

528
00:45:52,810 --> 00:45:53,590
Not always.

529
00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:56,790
Jesus talked about healing 10 lepers.

530
00:45:57,130 --> 00:46:00,730
Only one had a character change enough to return and give thanks.

531
00:46:01,350 --> 00:46:03,410
Did it mean the other nine were falsely healed?

532
00:46:04,890 --> 00:46:05,370
No.

533
00:46:05,370 --> 00:46:14,670
No, God's word, the validity of his word is not validated by what we do with it.

534
00:46:15,570 --> 00:46:17,910
In other words, it's not proven by what we do with it.

535
00:46:18,530 --> 00:46:20,350
God's not on trial by what I do.

536
00:46:21,170 --> 00:46:21,830
I am.

537
00:46:24,570 --> 00:46:29,870
In this particular illustration, we have in verse 22,

538
00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:32,770
he who receives seed among thorns

539
00:46:32,770 --> 00:46:34,470
is he who hears the word

540
00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:36,350
and the cares of this world,

541
00:46:36,530 --> 00:46:37,830
the deceitfulness of riches,

542
00:46:38,430 --> 00:46:41,010
choke the word and he becomes unfruitful.

543
00:46:41,110 --> 00:46:41,850
So here's the picture.

544
00:46:42,290 --> 00:46:44,130
My wife is the master gardener.

545
00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:45,750
She has not been gardening.

546
00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:47,650
She's been too sick.

547
00:46:48,410 --> 00:46:49,410
We have a garden though.

548
00:46:51,370 --> 00:46:53,290
The pepper plants are not this tall.

549
00:46:53,490 --> 00:46:54,870
It's the weeds that are this tall.

550
00:46:56,250 --> 00:46:58,970
We have been invaded by the weeds

551
00:46:58,970 --> 00:47:06,850
in this garden. And it's because we planted certain seeds, but not being able to take care

552
00:47:06,850 --> 00:47:12,570
and tend the garden, we have other seeds that have competed for the nutrients, observed the

553
00:47:12,570 --> 00:47:18,810
moisture, and have outgrown and actually cast shadow or shade over the plants that were supposed

554
00:47:18,810 --> 00:47:25,470
to be prolific and grow and provide food. The word of the Lord is the same way. Faith comes by what?

555
00:47:25,470 --> 00:47:27,970
Hearing and hearing by the word of God.

556
00:47:28,170 --> 00:47:30,570
Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God.

557
00:47:30,670 --> 00:47:31,330
Say that with me.

558
00:47:31,810 --> 00:47:35,270
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

559
00:47:35,370 --> 00:47:35,810
Say it again.

560
00:47:36,490 --> 00:47:40,050
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

561
00:47:40,350 --> 00:47:43,290
It does not say faith comes from hearing the word of God.

562
00:47:45,190 --> 00:47:48,190
If it did, then let's all of us go home, put on YouTube,

563
00:47:48,370 --> 00:47:50,550
where they're quoting scripture for the next 24 hours.

564
00:47:50,810 --> 00:47:55,170
Let's have it playing 24-7 in our sleep.

565
00:47:55,470 --> 00:47:58,130
and we'll have the Wigglesworth kind of faith by Friday.

566
00:47:59,390 --> 00:48:01,510
It doesn't work that way.

567
00:48:01,870 --> 00:48:03,070
Faith comes from hearing.

568
00:48:04,110 --> 00:48:06,210
It's your connection to the voice of God.

569
00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:10,230
But the voice of God is activated by your exposure to the word.

570
00:48:11,350 --> 00:48:14,710
It's the word that enhances and trains the hearing.

571
00:48:15,570 --> 00:48:16,590
Now, here's the challenge.

572
00:48:17,870 --> 00:48:21,490
I've got a word that God spoke to me, but I have another idea.

573
00:48:22,110 --> 00:48:23,730
And I have a disappointment.

574
00:48:23,730 --> 00:48:25,850
and I've got this criticism

575
00:48:25,850 --> 00:48:27,430
and I've got this complaint

576
00:48:27,430 --> 00:48:30,050
and I've got all these seeds that are vying

577
00:48:30,050 --> 00:48:31,610
for the same nutrients

578
00:48:31,610 --> 00:48:33,390
and what does the Bible say happens?

579
00:48:33,770 --> 00:48:35,090
It says the cares of this world,

580
00:48:35,470 --> 00:48:36,670
the other interests,

581
00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:39,890
the other burdens or concerns.

582
00:48:40,530 --> 00:48:42,590
Busyness is artificial significance.

583
00:48:44,910 --> 00:48:47,890
The enemy works to expand our busyness

584
00:48:47,890 --> 00:48:49,510
to increase our cares.

585
00:48:53,730 --> 00:48:58,850
The enemy works to expand our activity to increase our cares.

586
00:48:59,390 --> 00:49:04,250
Because if he can increase our cares, he plants seeds that compete with the word of God.

587
00:49:14,870 --> 00:49:16,230
Mark chapter 9.

588
00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:24,330
verse 17

589
00:49:24,330 --> 00:49:26,090
we're going to read quite a few verses

590
00:49:26,090 --> 00:49:28,710
so please do follow in your Bible

591
00:49:28,710 --> 00:49:29,330
or your neighbors

592
00:49:29,330 --> 00:49:31,470
as much as you can please

593
00:49:31,470 --> 00:49:32,190
verse 17

594
00:49:32,190 --> 00:49:35,650
then one of the crowd answered and said

595
00:49:35,650 --> 00:49:37,310
teacher I brought you my son

596
00:49:37,310 --> 00:49:38,710
who has a mute spirit

597
00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:41,630
and whenever it seizes him

598
00:49:41,630 --> 00:49:42,610
it throws him down

599
00:49:42,610 --> 00:49:44,590
he foams at the mouth

600
00:49:44,590 --> 00:49:51,970
gnashes at the teeth, gnashes his teeth, becomes rigid. So I spoke to your disciples that they

601
00:49:51,970 --> 00:49:57,130
should cast it up, but they could not. And he answered him and said, oh, faithless generation,

602
00:49:57,270 --> 00:50:03,010
how long shall I be with you? Let me stop there. I'm annoyed by, I love this translation, but I'm

603
00:50:03,010 --> 00:50:08,530
annoyed by their use of this word faithless, because it's not what it says. The literal word

604
00:50:08,530 --> 00:50:14,010
is the word unbelief. And there's a difference between faithless and unbelief. Unbelief is not

605
00:50:14,010 --> 00:50:16,470
the absence of faith. It's the presence of unbelief.

606
00:50:17,910 --> 00:50:21,510
There is a difference. Later he says,

607
00:50:22,050 --> 00:50:26,050
I believe, but help me in my unbelief. The problem is

608
00:50:26,050 --> 00:50:28,590
you can have more than one seed growing in your garden.

609
00:50:32,190 --> 00:50:34,050
To say it's a faithless garden

610
00:50:34,050 --> 00:50:37,090
is not accurate. There's faith in the garden.

611
00:50:38,610 --> 00:50:41,710
Are you following my analogy here? To call it faithless

612
00:50:41,710 --> 00:50:42,810
It's not accurate.

613
00:50:43,770 --> 00:50:44,930
There's just unbelief there.

614
00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:47,630
People come to me and they say,

615
00:50:47,630 --> 00:50:51,010
well, I have an intellectual bent.

616
00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:53,930
Oh, you mean you have an unbelieving bent.

617
00:50:59,410 --> 00:51:01,070
It's nothing to be proud of.

618
00:51:01,790 --> 00:51:04,490
God's quite smart and it doesn't interfere with his faith.

619
00:51:04,490 --> 00:51:11,610
so if my intellect

620
00:51:11,610 --> 00:51:14,610
is affecting my faith

621
00:51:14,610 --> 00:51:16,750
then I know the wrong things

622
00:51:16,750 --> 00:51:26,470
the knowledge of the tree of good and evil

623
00:51:26,470 --> 00:51:27,830
I know the wrong things

624
00:51:27,830 --> 00:51:32,350
I fill my garden with seeds

625
00:51:32,350 --> 00:51:34,030
that compete with what God is saying

626
00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:36,350
They compete with my destiny.

627
00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:41,290
True faith gives you access

628
00:51:41,290 --> 00:51:43,330
to your greatest point of intelligence.

629
00:51:45,610 --> 00:51:47,230
I believe in the days ahead,

630
00:51:47,310 --> 00:51:49,250
we're going to see the greatest intellectualism

631
00:51:49,250 --> 00:51:50,010
come out of faith.

632
00:51:56,070 --> 00:51:57,870
Yes, Bill, amen, keep it up.

633
00:51:58,830 --> 00:52:01,110
The Bible says by faith we understand

634
00:52:01,110 --> 00:52:02,350
the worlds are made out of nothing.

635
00:52:02,450 --> 00:52:03,470
By faith we understand.

636
00:52:04,030 --> 00:52:06,010
We don't understand by faith.

637
00:52:06,010 --> 00:52:08,750
We don't understand, excuse me,

638
00:52:08,850 --> 00:52:10,790
we don't believe because we understand.

639
00:52:11,410 --> 00:52:12,890
We understand because we believe.

640
00:52:17,110 --> 00:52:19,930
Faith gives us access to a level of understanding

641
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:21,550
you can't get through human reasoning.

642
00:52:27,030 --> 00:52:27,670
All right.

643
00:52:28,330 --> 00:52:30,270
I feel like I'm preaching all by myself here.

644
00:52:30,310 --> 00:52:30,730
It's all right.

645
00:52:31,050 --> 00:52:32,190
I'm not gonna quit.

646
00:52:32,370 --> 00:52:33,810
No, sir, I'm not gonna quit.

647
00:52:34,030 --> 00:52:39,750
I'm teasing. I'm just happy to see so many people in the room. There's humans. I just want you to

648
00:52:39,750 --> 00:52:46,210
know this last year I discovered I was addicted to humans. All right, let's move on here.

649
00:52:47,650 --> 00:52:52,430
Verse 19, he answered and said to him, oh, faithless generation. I'm going to change it.

650
00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:57,390
He answered and said to him, oh, unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you?

651
00:52:57,830 --> 00:53:04,010
How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me. Then they brought him to him. And when he saw

652
00:53:04,010 --> 00:53:09,650
him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground and wallowed foaming at the

653
00:53:09,650 --> 00:53:15,250
mouth. Why would he do that in front of Jesus? Because I think it worked in front of the disciples.

654
00:53:19,470 --> 00:53:23,130
If you can create enough disturbance with what you see in the natural,

655
00:53:23,130 --> 00:53:25,110
it can interfere with what you see in the spirit.

656
00:53:25,110 --> 00:53:35,190
the enemy was working to create a disturbance

657
00:53:35,190 --> 00:53:37,090
that they saw here

658
00:53:37,090 --> 00:53:41,370
that caused them to no longer see what they saw here

659
00:53:41,370 --> 00:53:44,430
and that was what God had already willed to happen

660
00:53:44,430 --> 00:53:51,870
faith doesn't deny a problem's existence

661
00:53:51,870 --> 00:53:56,370
it just denies the problem a place of influence

662
00:53:56,370 --> 00:54:05,310
they brought him to him he threw him on the ground wallowed forming at the mouth verse 21

663
00:54:05,310 --> 00:54:10,110
so he asked his father how long has this been happening to him and he said from childhood

664
00:54:10,110 --> 00:54:15,090
and often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him

665
00:54:15,090 --> 00:54:21,710
but if you can do anything have compassion on us and help us it's interesting it's the

666
00:54:21,710 --> 00:54:24,170
Smallest measure of faith I can find in the entire Bible.

667
00:54:24,550 --> 00:54:26,330
If there's a smaller one, please show it to me.

668
00:54:26,750 --> 00:54:28,290
This one barely moved the needle.

669
00:54:29,910 --> 00:54:32,190
When you come to God and say, if you can.

670
00:54:34,850 --> 00:54:38,690
God, if you have the ability to do this big problem.

671
00:54:40,290 --> 00:54:45,810
And the Lord turned the table on him and said, if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

672
00:54:46,350 --> 00:54:50,930
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord, I believe.

673
00:54:50,930 --> 00:54:57,450
help my unbelief. I've got more than one plant growing in my garden.

674
00:55:01,170 --> 00:55:05,630
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit,

675
00:55:05,750 --> 00:55:10,230
saying to it, deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, enter him no more.

676
00:55:11,330 --> 00:55:17,130
When the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him, and he became his one dead,

677
00:55:17,130 --> 00:55:18,370
so that many said he is dead.

678
00:55:19,270 --> 00:55:21,730
Jesus took him by the hand, lifted him up, he rose.

679
00:55:22,690 --> 00:55:24,370
And when he had come into the house,

680
00:55:24,870 --> 00:55:26,310
his disciples asked him privately,

681
00:55:26,430 --> 00:55:27,810
why could we not cast it out?

682
00:55:28,690 --> 00:55:30,290
And he said, this kind comes out

683
00:55:30,290 --> 00:55:31,750
by nothing but prayer and forgiveness.

684
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,080
Welcome back.

685
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,180
Well, I hope you learned a little bit from the parable of the sea and the sower.

686
00:55:38,420 --> 00:55:39,640
I like their description.

687
00:55:39,900 --> 00:55:43,840
Having a small amount of faith is not the same thing as unbelief.

688
00:55:44,260 --> 00:55:48,280
In this sermon, Bill Johnson teaches us on faith and the danger of unbelief.

689
00:55:48,420 --> 00:55:50,540
Unbelief is not having a little faith.

690
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,940
Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, but the presence of unbelief.

691
00:55:55,940 --> 00:56:02,540
learn how to tend the garden with your faith by weeding out unbelief and making room for strength

692
00:56:02,540 --> 00:56:07,920
to strengthen your faith mark 9 17 was also brought up and was dug into a little bit

693
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,760
and the full sermon is called the mountain of unbelief if you want to look it up and we've got
