EP: 34 "Two ERs Approved + City Planner Leaving”

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,300
Howdy, and welcome to episode 34 of Hello Fairview, your local podcast made right here

2
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,720
in Fairview for people in Fairview, Tennessee, and the surrounding areas.

3
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:15,240
This is a weekly show released every Wednesday featuring stories that aim to inform and inspire.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,760
Local radio stations and newspapers don't exist in small towns like ours, so we'll use

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,380
Hello Fairview to fill that void with news related to Fairview.

6
00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:26,880
This is a value for value podcast, which means you contribute what you can based on the value

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,500
you receive.

8
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:34,900
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.

9
00:00:35,620 --> 00:00:42,180
Currently, this is just a one-man operation, so if you have any ideas, events, business opportunities, job openings, please don't hesitate to let me know.

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,920
Use the contact form on the website, and we'll work to get those updates into the next episode.

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,500
You are a producer of the show.

12
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:53,820
You are not the product because your time and attention are not being sold to advertisers for their value.

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,700
Some shows will be longer, some will be shorter.

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Always try to do my best to keep things relevant.

15
00:01:00,340 --> 00:01:00,940
Traffic time.

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,820
Well, it's definitely still construction busy,

17
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:09,100
where you can wait now about every 5 to 15 minutes since school's out

18
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:15,180
to be able to make a left or right turn on Highway 100 from Old Cox to the rec center.

19
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:21,580
The sidewalk project from Bowie Park to the rec center is waiting on the utility relocation to be done.

20
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:26,880
They sent some updates about that on TDOT on the website from Facebook page on Fairview.

21
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:35,100
The Cumberland 100 intersection got some more grading work done towards the middle school, which I guess will eventually fix the lake.

22
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:43,840
And then there's been some work done towards the schools on 100 and the widening of the actual road where that culvert's at.

23
00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:49,080
And then there's been some work done further down towards Tractor Supply Co.

24
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,000
and where Ace Hardware is and all that.

25
00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:54,580
The road closures have kind of been all over the place from Bowie to the rec center.

26
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,820
So there's still many days where there are two lane closures on the same road.

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,360
And now that school's out, I hope this will change the turning time a little bit.

28
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,640
But so far, it's been about the same, a little bit less.

29
00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:13,320
It's truly a matter of luck of the draw if there's a lane closure and on which part of Highway 100 every day.

30
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,960
There was also traffic sensors that have been run at the city center red light as they prepare, I guess,

31
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,860
to start installing the full control boxes, and maybe that's going to start happening now.

32
00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:30,480
Red light update, we still currently have five, Old Cox, Publix, Walmart, and the two at I-40.

33
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:36,080
Just like I said, the city center entrance is getting something. Their traffic sensors have

34
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:43,280
been cut into the road, and the Cumberland 100 will eventually be there. We'll see how that goes

35
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,900
with that, and we'll have to see if this actually hurts or helps as that goes through there.

36
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:56,020
City center, the mountain of dirt is basically gone now and the main road is paved and they've

37
00:02:56,020 --> 00:03:01,280
actually had pavers back out there again. And so I've seen some people actually cut through there

38
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,820
where they've turned right into there and then eventually came back out at the town hall. So

39
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:12,820
we'll see how that's going. And so there was traffic counters on the road where I guess they

40
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:19,320
were doing traffic study for that. And so those have already been ran out now. All right, city

41
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:27,480
news. Well, we've talked about this last show is both ERs were approved. There was a hearing at the

42
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,960
27th at the Cordell building where it was a unanimous eight to zero vote. This vote both on

43
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,060
voted yes for the Ascension facility, which is across from volunteer pools at 1866 Highway 96

44
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:46,620
and HCA, which is across from the entrance of Bowie Park at 2273 Fairview Boulevard facilities.

45
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:54,260
these two facilities are just two miles apart and one thing that i've seen over the years is i'm sure

46
00:03:54,260 --> 00:04:00,020
both of them will require red lights which will increase the travel time to all of us the one at

47
00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:05,100
buoy park may be welcomed because there's always been a tough time getting in and out of there

48
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:10,520
but at volunteer pools then that's just going to cause traffic to back up to the you know girls and

49
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,580
boys club and all that so i think it's going to be a little harder for that one to work up

50
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:18,380
if our red lights were actually synchronized throughout the city then that could help but

51
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:22,860
they're all independently so then sometimes you're going to get held up by one and then basically

52
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:28,220
just hit the domino of red lights and so i don't know how this is going to work um

53
00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:34,080
so basically you know if you're in in this new scenario if you're injured on the

54
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:43,260
buoy park side of fairview then you'll go to the hca facility and if you're hurt on the public side

55
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:50,400
then you'll go to the Ascension facility. Two of these in the same city, it seems to be

56
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,740
something that is a 100% anomaly that I've not been able to find in another city.

57
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:02,280
And so this is very, very interesting for us. And so this is the only place I know of at least

58
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:06,980
Williamson County and other where there's two freestanding ERs outside of the metro area.

59
00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:12,980
Um, the TriStar ER is only 17 miles away from the Natchez ER, uh, or 20 minutes.

60
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:18,100
And the Ascension will be 19 miles or 30 minutes away from the Ascension West facility.

61
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:21,740
So both of these are not that far away.

62
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,880
Uh, so, you know, Ascension has 10 rooms, HCA or TriStar has 11 rooms.

63
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,360
Um, and, uh, so we'll see how this goes.

64
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,200
I think, you know, we've talked about this facility for, you know, a couple of shows.

65
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Um, but you know, the Ascension with the, it's partnership with DMA and possibly having

66
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,320
some orthopedic or oncologist and stuff like that, uh, could be really good, uh, so that

67
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,280
people don't have to go all the way into town for there versus just having another ER.

68
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:56,260
Um, and why I say that a lot about the, the, when we go back to the red lights is that

69
00:05:56,260 --> 00:06:00,480
you have to have a right away for those ambulances to come in and out of those facilities.

70
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:07,720
and so that's going to be part of that and then the traffic associated with that and do we have

71
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:15,780
enough injuries to fill up that er so if everybody was going to pace for example uh for the runny

72
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:20,180
noses and all that are they now going to go to these facilities for those types of you know

73
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:25,700
flu-like symptoms and stuff like that instead of pace urgent care what will that do to even

74
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:32,560
pace urgent care. We will have to see, but it's going to be interesting. And part of city fire

75
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,360
news is there's a firefighter position opened, and they're also still looking for volunteers

76
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,740
and citizens to serve on the following boards, planning commission, board of zoning appeals,

77
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:47,820
and parks and landscape board to attain the application must visit city hall. And then all

78
00:06:47,820 --> 00:06:53,680
applicants must approve proof of residency and voter registration completed forms from there.

79
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,440
so you have to live in the city for those too this link is in there and there's also

80
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:04,380
the link that they posted originally on their facebook post did not work and since we don't

81
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:08,980
have comments the same way we can't even notify them of that so we had to send them an email

82
00:07:08,980 --> 00:07:16,360
so their decision to turn off comments on every post is not helping them in some of these instances

83
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,500
but we've got a link there and then we also updated the link of that voting district map

84
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:23,280
So you can see that.

85
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:25,880
But obviously right now we're in the month of June.

86
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,480
So we're getting ready for the July 3rd, 4th of July celebration, the 250th birthday of America.

87
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,960
And that's where Rubik's Groove is going to be there.

88
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,740
School of Rock, Nashville, Brian Rhee and Kobe Oakley.

89
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:43,520
And all that starts at 2.30 is the first performance and goes all the way to 7 p.m.

90
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,720
before the fireworks launch.

91
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,560
So that's going to be good.

92
00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:48,660
Houses, homes for sale.

93
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:53,360
There is 244 homes from sale from 234 since last week.

94
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,920
And the highs and lows are basically the same.

95
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,160
There's still a $3.9 million house.

96
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:04,600
And now there is a $240,000 house, which was a $248,000 house just a couple weeks ago.

97
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,900
That is a townhome.

98
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:06,960
So you got there.

99
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,140
And then in this period, May 4th through 8th, there was 19 homes sold with the most expensive

100
00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:14,460
being $1,031,000.

101
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,160
And the next was $113,000.

102
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:30,200
And then in May 11th through 15th, there was eight homes sold with the most expensive being $939,000 with the cheapest being $339,000, bringing the average for the first period $529,603.

103
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:44,640
And since December of 2024, we have had 644 homes sold with the most expensive being $7.8 million, the cheapest being $13,000, and our average is still above $650,000 at $672,000.

104
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,780
So we will see that keep cooking along there.

105
00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:49,280
Town meetings.

106
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,300
Well, there was no board of appeals.

107
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:58,000
There was no planning commission, but there was a board of commissioners meeting on May 21st.

108
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,740
And there's also one coming up soon.

109
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,680
But when we look at that citizen comments, nothing too crazy there.

110
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:11,600
And then as we got into all the staff reports, city manager report, all that was rocking and rolling there.

111
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:23,440
And then so when we get to old business, this was the first one was to approve the Adams Preserve subdivision with the city engineer, which was resolution 6225.

112
00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:26,460
And that passed 5-0 with really no questions or comments.

113
00:09:27,740 --> 00:09:33,800
Resolution 2426, which was related to the police training facility, that was a vote passed 5-0.

114
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:38,320
There was a lot of discussion between multiple members about budget cuts and the adjusted quotes.

115
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,900
The police chief discussed how some training possibilities, some of the training possibilities, even with some of the items cut.

116
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:59,220
They're basically cutting items that they didn't need day one to start training and that they could add at a later date and that they will allow other agencies upon approval to train there because we want to help get help from them in the future and the reciprocity of that.

117
00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:01,280
And we're not going to charge them.

118
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:05,980
There was also questions of we were going to charge people to come and go from there.

119
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:27,172
and uh so we got that and i have the details there in the show notes here and so basically fellowship construction inc plumbing is hall and sons hvac is united Mechanical Electrical is AIS Electrical masonry is NA It And the cost is million

120
00:10:28,332 --> 00:10:34,972
The number of days to achieve substantial completion is 210 days from when this

121
00:10:34,972 --> 00:10:42,172
contract is submitted. And so November 13th of 2026 is when they think that that's going to be

122
00:10:42,172 --> 00:10:48,112
done and when the final payment is going to be due is December 14th and the funding details.

123
00:10:48,292 --> 00:10:55,452
So basically we've got the site grading at 481,000 utilities run 296,000 the field house,

124
00:10:55,452 --> 00:11:02,912
which is the training room, all that stuff, which is good is 519,000. So basically to get

125
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:11,592
those three items is 1.296 million dollars then they were removing the fence which is 59 000

126
00:11:11,592 --> 00:11:17,692
uh a the way the roof is set was going to be set up with a more expensive roof was 38 000

127
00:11:17,692 --> 00:11:24,912
erosion control we're going to remove that 21 000 alternate lighting package 12 500 so 130 000

128
00:11:24,912 --> 00:11:32,412
in savings um and so basically we're at 1.165 million instead of 1.296 million dollars

129
00:11:32,412 --> 00:11:38,732
we've got all the exhibits in there and from that you can see that you know what they pulled back

130
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:46,772
from the storage shed and the range tower and all that so you got $132,000 for surfacing $120,000

131
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:54,292
for a storage shed and they brought this up that's kind of crazy $98,000 for the tower shed and $36,400

132
00:11:54,292 --> 00:12:01,352
$480 for the tower and the next exhibit shows them removing all the stuff there and basically going

133
00:12:01,352 --> 00:12:11,712
from a $24,000 by going to a lower gauge roof and then removing some of the other stuff for

134
00:12:11,712 --> 00:12:18,112
the lighting packages. And so then our next one was our budget meeting. And this was just a

135
00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:21,492
amendment. So there was a couple of comments about there were some minor corrections still

136
00:12:21,492 --> 00:12:26,752
waiting on the storm cleanup, which is really amazing to me that here we are in the month,

137
00:12:26,752 --> 00:12:34,272
the end of May for this meeting. And we still don't know when we're going to get the invoices

138
00:12:34,272 --> 00:12:38,692
for all that storm collection based on the amount of money that we had to even get a bond for

139
00:12:38,692 --> 00:12:44,012
to do all this. So it's pretty, pretty wild. So I guess we're going to get it eventually.

140
00:12:44,712 --> 00:12:49,672
But one of the things are there was a couple of decreases in the budget, basically $400 to the

141
00:12:49,672 --> 00:12:58,852
BOC, $79,000 for admin costs, $4,200 to court, $1,700 to finance, $90,149 in planning,

142
00:12:59,632 --> 00:13:10,312
$79,100 for a bond fund balance, and $320,000 to the parks. And the parks was to pay for some of

143
00:13:10,312 --> 00:13:15,212
the stuff for the cleanup. And a couple of increases, we had $57,000 for the police,

144
00:13:15,212 --> 00:13:23,192
$1.1 million for the fire, which I'm guessing is the exact amount for the fire truck and the $57,000

145
00:13:23,192 --> 00:13:31,892
for the next position, $23,300 for a Publix work something, $61,000 for admin and $285,000

146
00:13:31,892 --> 00:13:39,212
in planning. So they removed 90,000, but added that back and more. And then $52,000 for fire.

147
00:13:39,312 --> 00:13:43,892
So another firefighter position in there too. So basically another firefighter position,

148
00:13:43,892 --> 00:13:51,732
the I guess the fire truck and a new police officer in a new business 2826 this was to give

149
00:13:51,732 --> 00:13:58,952
a right-of-way easement at northeast highway for that we put the map up there or northwest highway

150
00:13:58,952 --> 00:14:03,132
sorry I always do that and basically you got a little thing there and basically they're trying

151
00:14:03,132 --> 00:14:07,592
to get the easement so they can run the power the way they need to and that's where the kink is

152
00:14:07,592 --> 00:14:12,892
where the single lane bridge is and how they're trying to put three-phase power over there for the

153
00:14:12,892 --> 00:14:21,952
new station 31 fire station that will eventually be on that side of town. And then resolution 2926,

154
00:14:22,312 --> 00:14:27,152
pretty much no major discussion tier. This was the site agreement for Casey's General Store,

155
00:14:27,612 --> 00:14:33,232
which is going to be at the end of Old Cox and 100, where that little like orange, yellowish

156
00:14:33,232 --> 00:14:38,152
house is. And one thing that's interesting to see when you look at some of these site agreements,

157
00:14:38,152 --> 00:14:44,652
So this is when you're going to see how much money the developer is paying the city in a reclamation bond.

158
00:14:44,792 --> 00:14:51,832
And so for this particular one, this is $373,311 for that.

159
00:14:52,232 --> 00:14:58,752
So the rest of the document kind of just shows the references and the rules that they're going to do for site inspections,

160
00:14:58,752 --> 00:15:01,932
basically saying, we'll let you inspect our site as we're building it.

161
00:15:01,932 --> 00:15:05,912
But this is, you know, a $373,000 tax to them.

162
00:15:06,292 --> 00:15:08,072
And that revenue comes in there.

163
00:15:08,152 --> 00:15:13,872
resolution 3026 past five zero uh one of the things they talked about is the name of this

164
00:15:13,872 --> 00:15:20,832
development has changed quite a few times at least three and this is for 45 homes and this one their

165
00:15:20,832 --> 00:15:25,952
reclamation bond is five hundred and fourteen thousand dollars and the same kind of thing there

166
00:15:25,952 --> 00:15:33,992
where they're doing that and and the another one is prior to the recording of the final plat

167
00:15:33,992 --> 00:15:39,912
for this enclave subdivision, the project shall require a performance bond of $2.2 million

168
00:15:39,912 --> 00:15:45,692
in accordance with the approved development plan of that. So they're paying $514,000 and then have

169
00:15:45,692 --> 00:15:52,092
to get a $2.2 million bond, which is insurance in that sense. And so the rest of the document

170
00:15:52,092 --> 00:15:57,712
just references that they're going to be good stewards of this. Resolution 3126, pass 5-0.

171
00:15:57,712 --> 00:16:11,552
This was a development agreement contract for Clear Crest subdivision, which is there, and they're paying $278,000 in their reclamation bond.

172
00:16:11,952 --> 00:16:22,912
So between these three projects and one meeting, we had almost $1 million in reclamation bonds that I guess will be able to go to the general budget.

173
00:16:23,092 --> 00:16:26,292
I'd love to get some details on that and have to do some more research.

174
00:16:27,012 --> 00:16:29,952
Then the next new business was 2026-09.

175
00:16:30,192 --> 00:16:36,232
This past 5-0, Mayor Real discussed the changes, and this is all related to the budget, and

176
00:16:36,232 --> 00:16:41,372
that there is a big budget shortfall, and that they have discussed some cuts, but also

177
00:16:41,372 --> 00:16:48,412
a 19-cent property tax raise would cover it exactly, and a 25-cent increase would help

178
00:16:48,412 --> 00:16:50,492
them cover into the next budget year.

179
00:16:51,032 --> 00:16:55,672
Apparently, we have not been doing some maintenance on our fleet, which is our fire trucks, public

180
00:16:55,672 --> 00:17:01,192
works vehicles and police vehicles. But I know we also just got some brand new vehicles not too

181
00:17:01,192 --> 00:17:06,572
long ago. So that's kind of a head scratcher for me. And we'll get back to that and hopefully get

182
00:17:06,572 --> 00:17:11,332
back on track of that. Vice Mayor McDonald suggested we had a work session before the

183
00:17:11,332 --> 00:17:15,432
next meeting, which is this week, to go over things so they can summarize some of those

184
00:17:15,432 --> 00:17:19,432
deltas before they have to have a meeting and actually make a decision. Commissioner Roberts

185
00:17:19,432 --> 00:17:27,112
noted that there were budgeted increases for city staff increases and that's due for 2017 ordinance

186
00:17:27,112 --> 00:17:32,872
that must be implemented so it must be done through raises or cuts so that means they can't

187
00:17:33,432 --> 00:17:39,672
take away the raises of city employees because in 2017 we passed ordinance that every so many years

188
00:17:39,672 --> 00:17:47,112
you must have a race and so that means we have to get to this budget shortfall by cutting things or

189
00:17:47,112 --> 00:17:52,412
raising tax revenue. Commissioner Roberts agreed that then suggested that we understand the

190
00:17:52,412 --> 00:18:00,212
financial impact and they gave some examples. So this 25 cent increase for a $250,000 house is 156

191
00:18:00,212 --> 00:18:11,552
bucks. 500K is $312.50. 750K is 468.75 and $1 million would be 625 more dollars per year.

192
00:18:11,552 --> 00:18:20,692
And the 19 cents, they talked about that again, that if they make that change, then they would just probably be back here next year to raise it again.

193
00:18:21,332 --> 00:18:25,772
And just as a reminder, Fairview City taxes are the most expensive in Williamson County.

194
00:18:26,352 --> 00:18:32,572
And out of 304 city taxes, they are 216th in property taxes.

195
00:18:32,572 --> 00:18:39,532
We are at 0.5904 and 7804.

196
00:18:40,292 --> 00:18:45,052
If we increase the 19 cents, we'll be 166 position.

197
00:18:45,352 --> 00:18:51,092
And if we go all the way to the 25 cents, we'll be at 0.8404 to 150.

198
00:18:51,392 --> 00:18:57,332
So we will be in the top, basically in the top half of all city taxes in the whole state

199
00:18:57,332 --> 00:18:58,012
of Tennessee.

200
00:18:58,012 --> 00:19:04,092
and people forget when it's small numbers times big numbers as in the value of your house times

201
00:19:04,092 --> 00:19:11,592
this number and how big a change that is so adding that 19 cents is a 32 percent increase

202
00:19:11,592 --> 00:19:21,332
and adding 0.25 percent 0.25 25 cents is a 42 percent increase so this is in there i've also

203
00:19:21,332 --> 00:19:26,392
got a link to the comptroller so you can see the tax rates for the whole state and the cities there

204
00:19:26,972 --> 00:19:40,032
There's also discussions from City Hall about if we were staffed at the proper levels and that basically we said that there are things that we could fill, but some of these things will wait till the second half of the year, which is that July 1st.

205
00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:45,432
They also talked about when the next workshop could be and they were going to have some time to digest it.

206
00:19:45,432 --> 00:19:57,852
And so one of the things that I posted in here in the simple terms of the budget is that taxes have increased from $828,000 to $877,000.

207
00:19:58,192 --> 00:20:04,372
License and permits have been $1.1 million and to $1.2 million, so a slight increase there.

208
00:20:05,032 --> 00:20:10,552
Fines and fees, $261,000 to $268,000.

209
00:20:11,392 --> 00:20:14,812
Intergovernmental is $1.4 million to $1.54 million.

210
00:20:14,812 --> 00:20:19,592
and other revenue was 681,000 to 520,000.

211
00:20:19,592 --> 00:20:21,592
And I would love to be able to see what that is.

212
00:20:23,132 --> 00:20:27,192
And so total cash was 117 in there.

213
00:20:28,012 --> 00:20:38,904
So real interesting I wish they would actually put a spreadsheet on here instead of a scanned PDF so that it was actually searchable Basically had to hand transpose all that stuff over

214
00:20:40,044 --> 00:20:43,404
And then as they wrap that meeting up, Commissioner Hall said thanks to you all.

215
00:20:43,524 --> 00:20:45,724
Commissioner Buffalini, thanks to you all and the kids.

216
00:20:45,824 --> 00:20:46,624
Have a happy summer.

217
00:20:46,784 --> 00:20:51,504
Commissioner Buffalini, Ethan Greer will miss you and our city will too.

218
00:20:51,764 --> 00:20:54,804
And thanks for all you've done and good luck with the state of Tennessee.

219
00:20:55,404 --> 00:20:58,584
Thanks to Mayor Real for all the things he's done and all the good meetings.

220
00:20:58,584 --> 00:21:03,344
and thanks for traffic being a little less busy, which is great, and I agree.

221
00:21:04,004 --> 00:21:08,884
Vice Mayor McDonald, thank you to Mayor Real and jumping in on this budget,

222
00:21:08,884 --> 00:21:13,044
and it was definitely tough, and helping out with Mr. Knox, and best of luck to Mr. Greer.

223
00:21:13,804 --> 00:21:17,524
And thanks to all the kids that get to go up to the next grade,

224
00:21:17,584 --> 00:21:19,924
and his youngest is officially headed to middle school.

225
00:21:20,604 --> 00:21:24,444
Mayor Anderson, thank you, Mr. Greer, for all you've done.

226
00:21:24,944 --> 00:21:27,964
And then in a very interesting turn here, Mr. Greer.

227
00:21:27,964 --> 00:21:32,824
he wanted to thank everyone and their team for the help thanks for so much person for all the

228
00:21:32,824 --> 00:21:37,724
things they do and their support and their help and understanding things and help make the best

229
00:21:37,724 --> 00:21:43,104
choices and future for the city mayor thank you for supporting our team you go above and beyond

230
00:21:43,104 --> 00:21:47,664
your duty and then this is where the surprise comes in commissioner buffalini was called out

231
00:21:47,664 --> 00:21:52,584
for making his staff look incompetent by over committing the city without first obtaining the

232
00:21:52,584 --> 00:21:57,844
necessary information you have asked employees to go against direct orders from their supervisors

233
00:21:57,844 --> 00:22:03,364
time and time again you have refused to listen to city staff regarding the dissemination of public

234
00:22:03,364 --> 00:22:14,644
information and you have shown lack of um lack of care for my city which is uh who you are and not

235
00:22:14,644 --> 00:22:22,644
who we are uh and this was just after you know mr buffalini um had thanked mr greer for his time

236
00:22:22,644 --> 00:22:27,124
and service and he hopes to see him around since he just lives down the street from him mayor

237
00:22:27,124 --> 00:22:32,404
Anderson closed out with a thank you for your service and a round of applause for Mr. Greer

238
00:22:32,404 --> 00:22:36,484
and everything he's done for the city. I wish everyone a happy Memorial Day weekend,

239
00:22:36,964 --> 00:22:43,724
which is counterintuitive. But she did add it there too. And those who gave it all,

240
00:22:43,924 --> 00:22:48,604
and that's why we have this. So she did a good job of echoing that back. Congratulations to all

241
00:22:48,604 --> 00:22:53,224
the graduates. And she's so excited to see what these amazing young people will do. And she's

242
00:22:53,224 --> 00:22:58,004
excited to be there at that commencement. And then the meeting was adjourned. And so our next

243
00:22:58,004 --> 00:23:03,164
Board of Commissioners meeting is July 30th. We already had a Parks and Landscape Board this week

244
00:23:03,164 --> 00:23:08,504
on June 1st. So the next one will be in July. Around Town Coffee is June 10th. And I don't think

245
00:23:08,504 --> 00:23:12,064
the location's been listed yet on the website that I've seen when I was checking it.

246
00:23:12,904 --> 00:23:19,244
The state of Tennessee. Well, a panel of Tennessee judges will soon decide whether the state's

247
00:23:19,244 --> 00:23:24,444
General Assembly overstepped its authority when members repealed a law preventing mid-decade

248
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:30,024
redistricting changes for the 2026 congressional election during a special election period.

249
00:23:30,024 --> 00:23:36,944
The NAACP conference and Project Glorious Sweet Love and others filed a lawsuit to halt Section

250
00:23:36,944 --> 00:23:42,944
2. The impact, while not explicitly overturning Section 2 of the VRA, Voting Rights Act,

251
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:48,284
the ruling makes it harder to prove violations requiring evidence that the state's intentionally

252
00:23:48,284 --> 00:23:53,104
use race in a way that violates the 14th Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause.

253
00:23:53,604 --> 00:23:58,804
And then we found this link today, and this is the redistricting research. I think it stands out

254
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:05,924
if you know. And this is Senate Bill 1909 introduced and removes a conviction for domestic

255
00:24:05,924 --> 00:24:11,964
assault from the definition of a violent offender for purposes of drug treatment courts, changes the

256
00:24:11,964 --> 00:24:18,144
definition to a violent offender for purposes of drug treatment courts from an offender with

257
00:24:18,144 --> 00:24:25,224
conviction with an offense involving certain acts to an offender with conviction of a felony offense

258
00:24:25,224 --> 00:24:33,564
involving certain acts in the previous 10 years. So this amends TCA Title 16 and Chapter 22. So

259
00:24:33,564 --> 00:24:38,484
changing the definition of that. And that's a good link that I have in the show notes there

260
00:24:38,484 --> 00:24:45,984
that will show you when those things get approved in our state house. Our new representative that is

261
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:51,884
in charge of us now since we have been moved to District 5 from 7 is in the news, which isn't good.

262
00:24:51,884 --> 00:24:59,644
But U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill for $59,000 for airtime by the new ad that U.S.

263
00:24:59,824 --> 00:25:04,844
Randy Ogles as he faces a primary challenge in the Agricultural Commission by Charlie Hatcher

264
00:25:04,844 --> 00:25:11,744
in August. So this is something that's not out of the ordinary because there have been previous

265
00:25:11,744 --> 00:25:18,844
cases and where there are allowed under our Tennessee laws to use that funding for that

266
00:25:18,844 --> 00:25:21,804
taxpayer funding for that because it's the same there.

267
00:25:22,164 --> 00:25:27,344
It's just, I think, almost a money shuffle, but it doesn't look good as this is our new

268
00:25:27,344 --> 00:25:27,864
representative.

269
00:25:28,464 --> 00:25:33,964
The Department of Revenue just posted two notices on their website, and basically one

270
00:25:33,964 --> 00:25:39,644
of the things that they did is a Notice 26, proof of citizenship or lawful presence required

271
00:25:39,644 --> 00:25:41,584
for motor vehicle registration.

272
00:25:41,744 --> 00:25:49,364
and that 2616 updates to vehicle financial responsibility requirements as in you've got

273
00:25:49,364 --> 00:25:54,364
to prove that you're a citizen to register vehicles in here and then you have to prove

274
00:25:54,364 --> 00:25:59,344
that you have financial responsibility on the vehicle and I guess that also kind of

275
00:25:59,344 --> 00:26:02,744
comes back to insurance and uninsured motorists and all that kind of stuff.

276
00:26:03,404 --> 00:26:07,144
Centennial High School in our county made the national news with pictures and videos

277
00:26:07,144 --> 00:26:14,444
of people out in the soaking rain. And lots of videos were posted of that. There was even parents

278
00:26:14,444 --> 00:26:19,384
that went out onto the field and put an umbrella over their kids and others just sat out there in

279
00:26:19,384 --> 00:26:24,184
the rain. And I thought this was pretty funny. And remember, this is always in journalism,

280
00:26:24,184 --> 00:26:26,744
and especially when they're editing things, you're always going to hear this.

281
00:26:27,904 --> 00:26:34,544
And so this is where if you interview 10 people in the street for a topic, you may have six people

282
00:26:34,544 --> 00:26:40,884
that support and see for people that dissent or vice versa. And this is basically the same thing.

283
00:26:40,964 --> 00:26:46,064
When News 2 spoke with a couple people, they said one of them said that it wasn't a big deal and they

284
00:26:46,064 --> 00:26:52,364
had a blast. Other people monitored it. This was the best graduation ever. And another one said it

285
00:26:52,364 --> 00:27:01,044
was a lot more memorable and fun with each other. And another person, there was no way that one of

286
00:27:01,044 --> 00:27:08,904
The parents said there was no way these kids wanted to split to go indoors to have half of them do a ceremony and the other half do a ceremony there.

287
00:27:10,184 --> 00:27:11,564
And we've got the link there, too.

288
00:27:11,644 --> 00:27:16,124
And we know, you know, the rain made Thursday night's graduation at Centennial.

289
00:27:16,424 --> 00:27:18,184
This is their public comment here.

290
00:27:18,844 --> 00:27:20,964
Franklin and Centennial and Franklin challenging.

291
00:27:21,164 --> 00:27:22,644
We appreciate the patience of our family.

292
00:27:23,304 --> 00:27:30,444
Each year, many of our students choose to hold ceremonies on our football fields because students and families have shared how meaningful it is to celebrate this milestone on campus.

293
00:27:30,444 --> 00:27:34,124
and allows more loved ones to attend based on the forecast and the radar.

294
00:27:34,664 --> 00:27:39,904
We expected to complete Thursday night ceremonies at Centennial, Franklin, and Franklin before

295
00:27:39,904 --> 00:27:42,084
the next wave of rain began.

296
00:27:42,244 --> 00:27:46,244
But unfortunately, the changing conditions brought the rain during the events.

297
00:27:46,424 --> 00:27:50,624
While the rain impacted those two ceremonies, it did not diminish our pride in Centennial

298
00:27:50,624 --> 00:27:51,644
and Franklin graduates.

299
00:27:52,304 --> 00:27:56,204
And so even in Fairview, they had to make the decision of going inside, outside.

300
00:27:56,204 --> 00:28:07,184
And that always is going to be a very tough judgment call because people we can't fit as many people in our base in our gyms than we can in our fields.

301
00:28:07,384 --> 00:28:13,384
And that's just a law of physics there. The bills. Nothing is going on here.

302
00:28:13,464 --> 00:28:24,884
They pretty much seems like they took the summer off. And I went ahead and put a link in here related to our double trouble of our two ERs getting approved.

303
00:28:24,884 --> 00:28:26,684
And so you can deep dive into there.

304
00:28:26,844 --> 00:28:28,244
There was no agendas posted.

305
00:28:28,364 --> 00:28:29,004
So we'll see that.

306
00:28:29,504 --> 00:28:29,964
How's the hill?

307
00:28:30,284 --> 00:28:31,564
Well, it's definitely passable.

308
00:28:31,924 --> 00:28:34,384
It's been a rainy one for the past couple of weeks.

309
00:28:35,444 --> 00:28:43,584
Even with almost seven inches of rain in the past two weeks, we're still behind a little bit in our drought.

310
00:28:43,824 --> 00:28:46,504
We're still in a D1 moderate drought for Williamson County.

311
00:28:47,364 --> 00:28:53,304
And we're back to warm in warm days and not really chilly nights.

312
00:28:53,304 --> 00:28:59,664
The weather guessers are predicting 82 to 86 for the highs and lows of 56 to 71.

313
00:29:00,344 --> 00:29:05,904
And I also added a link for the rainfall map from the TVA and the drought.gov for Williamson County.

314
00:29:05,984 --> 00:29:10,684
So you can see that new businesses, nothing new spotted.

315
00:29:11,404 --> 00:29:16,444
And basically the 1890 golf club is getting closer.

316
00:29:16,564 --> 00:29:17,624
They have a Facebook post.

317
00:29:18,064 --> 00:29:20,944
The unity chiropractic looks like it's to be open now.

318
00:29:20,944 --> 00:29:22,964
There are a couple of properties still for sale.

319
00:29:22,964 --> 00:29:26,804
There's still three for sale and three for lease in our facility.

320
00:29:26,924 --> 00:29:28,704
We've got the link of that in the show notes.

321
00:29:29,144 --> 00:29:33,544
The farmer's market is still there, so make sure every weekend you're heading to the farmer's

322
00:29:33,544 --> 00:29:37,504
market every Saturday morning, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Messick Chiropractic and Fairview

323
00:29:37,504 --> 00:29:39,924
Fresh Deli Donuts located across the road from Publix.

324
00:29:40,524 --> 00:29:46,544
There are many good places to get breads, treats, local beef, pork, milk, yogurt, local

325
00:29:46,544 --> 00:29:50,604
fruits and vegetables, hot sauces, fishing lures, and many other gifts all the time.

326
00:29:50,604 --> 00:29:56,184
and our brick and mortar highlight has to be the new ice hardware we have been talking about that

327
00:29:56,184 --> 00:30:01,704
for i guess a couple months and murphy's ace hardware is open and this new place is where

328
00:30:01,704 --> 00:30:06,284
definitely we're going to go to get the things if you need a grill they stock weber traeger and

329
00:30:06,284 --> 00:30:11,704
green egg and they carry steel chainsaws and other lawn tools and if you have a big power tool person

330
00:30:11,704 --> 00:30:17,124
they have a huge selection of dewalt and milwaukee they have most home repair items

331
00:30:17,124 --> 00:30:21,124
and their garden section is continuing to grow. They were still putting it out last week.

332
00:30:21,544 --> 00:30:26,264
They had a popcorn machine set out at checkout, which was really cool. And the staff was all there

333
00:30:26,264 --> 00:30:31,484
and eager to help, which is good to go on opening day. And I went back a couple of days after just

334
00:30:31,484 --> 00:30:37,144
to kind of see how it was. And I definitely suggest walking around there, go up and down

335
00:30:37,144 --> 00:30:41,644
all the aisles because that could save you a trip to Dixon, Bellevue, or Franklin for some of those

336
00:30:41,644 --> 00:30:43,784
other big box stores.

337
00:30:43,784 --> 00:30:57,296
I do wish they had a small lumber selection but they have a ton of things there so it gonna keep people rolling They not on the main Ace Hardware website yet so maybe they have to wait a week or two or I don know

338
00:30:57,796 --> 00:31:01,816
But they are open, and the Murphy brothers just keep doing more good for this town.

339
00:31:02,736 --> 00:31:06,816
They currently are the owners of the Food Saver at the intersection of Cox and 100.

340
00:31:07,676 --> 00:31:12,096
They support this community in so many ways through all their donations

341
00:31:12,096 --> 00:31:16,736
and support of teams and everything.

342
00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:21,336
along the way. And, you know, they support our town, so we should support them in this new

343
00:31:21,336 --> 00:31:28,176
opportunity. And it's great job openings. Well, we're still at 47 from 47. So there hasn't been

344
00:31:28,176 --> 00:31:33,076
any positions taken down. There's still a city planner position, a police officer,

345
00:31:33,236 --> 00:31:39,836
the firefighter position, um, ACE hardware, uh, had a couple of things. Looks like it's done,

346
00:31:39,836 --> 00:31:45,256
but basically that just got washed out with our firefighter position. So that's why the number is

347
00:31:45,256 --> 00:31:51,496
the same. So if you need a job, basically any business that has a storefront pretty much has

348
00:31:51,496 --> 00:31:56,456
a job, but then there's other jobs like UtiliQuest and a couple others that you don't see,

349
00:31:57,036 --> 00:32:04,976
Brookside Properties, Covenant Primary Care, Iron Lion Entries. There's a couple others that are in

350
00:32:04,976 --> 00:32:10,416
here that you don't have, they don't have stores that you see, but there are jobs here in Fairview

351
00:32:10,416 --> 00:32:16,216
every single week. And this list has grown to, I think this is the highest it's been at 47.

352
00:32:17,016 --> 00:32:19,616
And it doesn't seem like it's shrinking anymore.

353
00:32:22,116 --> 00:32:27,516
And if you have any other job postings, don't feel, just use the contact form of the website.

354
00:32:27,576 --> 00:32:33,136
If you don't have it posted on Indeed, and we'll get it on there. History nugget. Well,

355
00:32:33,136 --> 00:32:38,256
Well, you know, this was the Memorial Day episode.

356
00:32:38,976 --> 00:32:42,356
This is a federal holiday held the last Monday in May.

357
00:32:42,616 --> 00:32:47,896
It's the nation's foremost annual day to mourn and honor the deceased of servicemen and women.

358
00:32:48,536 --> 00:32:54,016
Originally called Decoration Day from the early tradition of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags.

359
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:58,936
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who died in service for our country.

360
00:32:58,936 --> 00:33:18,636
It was widely observed on May 30, 1868, to commemorate the sacrifices of the Civil War soldiers by proclamation of General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic and Organization of former Union sailors and soldiers.

361
00:33:18,636 --> 00:33:37,856
During this first national commemoration, former Union General and sitting Ohio Congressman James Garfield made a speech in Arlington National Cemetery, after which 5,000 participants helped decorate the graves of more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who were buried there.

362
00:33:37,856 --> 00:34:02,036
This national event is galvanized by their efforts to honor and remember those fallen soldiers that began with local observances at burial grounds in several towns throughout the United States following the end of the Civil War, such as May 1, 1865, a gathering in Charleston, South Carolina, organized by freed slaves to pay tribute and give proper burial to Union troops.

363
00:34:02,036 --> 00:34:07,656
In 1873, New York was the first state to designate Memorial Day as a legal holiday.

364
00:34:08,156 --> 00:34:15,596
By the late 1800s, many more cities and communities observed Memorial Day, and several states had declared it a legal holiday.

365
00:34:16,256 --> 00:34:27,416
After World War I, it became an occasion for honoring those who died across all American wars and was later more widely established as a national holiday throughout the United States.

366
00:34:27,416 --> 00:34:40,016
But in 1971, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established that Memorial Day would be observed on the last Monday of the month of May.

367
00:34:40,556 --> 00:34:50,076
Memorial Day is commemorated at the Arlington National Cemetery with a ceremony and a small American flag is placed on each grave.

368
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:54,976
Traditionally, the president or vice president will lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

369
00:34:55,796 --> 00:35:08,356
The GAR, which is that grand old Army of the Republic Order, placed a ceremonial observation on May 30th to ensure the availability of the choicest flowers of springtime all over the country.

370
00:35:08,356 --> 00:35:20,296
In observance, no other form or ceremony is prescribed but posts that comrades will pay their own arranged fitting services and testimonials in respect to circumstances as they permit.

371
00:35:20,296 --> 00:35:28,096
typical programs uh post include uh ceremonies that are punctured by putting flags up prayer

372
00:35:28,096 --> 00:35:34,076
in there so i know like scouting america and a couple other veteran organizations go all over

373
00:35:34,076 --> 00:35:42,076
middle tennessee especially and all over the united states as a whole to make sure they've

374
00:35:42,076 --> 00:35:47,096
placed flags on headstones of veteran cemeteries so there's always a good chunk of that so there's

375
00:35:47,096 --> 00:35:54,056
a lot of good history there. And we are thankful for everyone's sacrifice for this great country.

376
00:35:54,496 --> 00:36:01,956
And we want to have a day of remembrance on this Memorial Day. Upcoming events. Well,

377
00:36:02,456 --> 00:36:07,536
recap, school is wrapped. So have many sports. I wish there was a better way to keep up to date

378
00:36:07,536 --> 00:36:11,316
with this. I'll try to reach out to some of the coaches as we come into next year to try to get

379
00:36:11,316 --> 00:36:16,656
this done. Because many things end up on our calendar from Williamson County Schools. But I

380
00:36:16,656 --> 00:36:20,976
know there's a lot more teams and activities going on and I want people to be able to know

381
00:36:20,976 --> 00:36:26,516
where to go to support our young people and I also think it's important for those teams to have a

382
00:36:26,516 --> 00:36:31,976
place to post their school records playoffs and championships so that we have a board of call it

383
00:36:31,976 --> 00:36:36,636
call it pride and maybe I can work with the city of Fairview to actually put it on the website there

384
00:36:36,636 --> 00:36:42,076
which I think would be a good next new event coming up is the fishing rodeo veterans park

385
00:36:42,076 --> 00:36:45,116
This is on June 6th from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.

386
00:36:45,576 --> 00:36:48,756
And this is where you bring your fishing stuff.

387
00:36:48,956 --> 00:36:51,456
Lunch will be provided by the TWRA.

388
00:36:51,976 --> 00:36:53,316
Door prizes will be awarded.

389
00:36:54,136 --> 00:36:58,596
You'll probably see the scouts there and probably a couple other veteran organizations at the fishing rodeo.

390
00:36:59,076 --> 00:37:00,656
So definitely go check that out.

391
00:37:01,056 --> 00:37:09,196
Future events is basically we got the July 3rd celebration of 4th of July, 250th year anniversary.

392
00:37:09,456 --> 00:37:10,456
So this is the big one.

393
00:37:12,076 --> 00:37:20,316
and then august 1st were the back to school city bash at city hall nature fest is september 19th

394
00:37:20,316 --> 00:37:26,136
fall fun day is october 10th truck retreat is october 24th december tree lighting event is

395
00:37:26,136 --> 00:37:31,836
december 4th and the christmas parade should be december 5th or rain day on the 12th voting season

396
00:37:31,836 --> 00:37:35,776
is about to come up in the next couple months we'll have early voting for the state primary

397
00:37:35,776 --> 00:37:41,856
and county general and that starts on august 6th so we will start seeing some of that early voting

398
00:37:41,856 --> 00:37:48,016
July 17th through August 1st, and that'll start happening soon. For the kids, well, there's still

399
00:37:48,016 --> 00:37:52,196
tons of activities to do in Fairview to keep your kids engaged. There are cheer programs,

400
00:37:52,316 --> 00:37:56,796
recreational teams for baseball, basketball, softball, football, and much more. There's a

401
00:37:56,796 --> 00:38:00,656
thriving Girl Scout and Scouting America program here in Fairview. If you have a homeschooler,

402
00:38:00,716 --> 00:38:03,676
make sure you're always checking out the Bowie Park schedule for the clubs that meet there.

403
00:38:04,156 --> 00:38:08,416
If you have kids who are interested in dance, gymnastics, or cheer, please check out Lala's

404
00:38:08,416 --> 00:38:13,156
dance studio and elevate gymnastics and cheer vigilance martial arts is our local taekwondo

405
00:38:13,156 --> 00:38:18,836
and jujitsu school that teaches way more than just moves the fairview jacket youth wrestling program

406
00:38:18,836 --> 00:38:23,656
is another great option and has produced some state champions and college scholarship recipients

407
00:38:23,656 --> 00:38:29,856
and has also offered some cool summer programs too i know there's a couple people going to this

408
00:38:29,856 --> 00:38:37,036
to the yay camp at independents high school sun app ends next week by june 15th and this is july

409
00:38:37,036 --> 00:38:43,076
6th through 10th. And this is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. And this is for K through eighth graders. So really

410
00:38:43,076 --> 00:38:49,256
fun thing there. School news. Well, no news for the Hawken Tigers, no news for the Falcon news,

411
00:38:49,256 --> 00:38:56,696
and no news for the jacket news because we stayed out of the news by moving our graduation inside

412
00:38:56,696 --> 00:39:00,996
from the rain. This is a tough call, just like we talked about in the state of Tennessee segment

413
00:39:00,996 --> 00:39:05,856
where, you know, you don't have as much seating capacity and there's a number of tickets that are

414
00:39:05,856 --> 00:39:10,476
sold and given out that doesn't align with the actual capacity. And we still have to keep it

415
00:39:10,476 --> 00:39:16,096
safe, fire marshals, all that kind of stuff too. So it was really good to see that. And we're

416
00:39:16,096 --> 00:39:20,476
excited to see all the students have a lot of fun this summer and come back next year,

417
00:39:20,616 --> 00:39:26,016
recharged and ready to do that next grade. Faith moment. I wanted to go back to a quick faith

418
00:39:26,016 --> 00:39:31,216
moment. I have a couple of sermons and clips that I'm thinking about for next week. And I'm always

419
00:39:31,216 --> 00:39:35,276
listening and learning and trying to figure out what's a good one. But this one I just wanted to

420
00:39:35,276 --> 00:39:40,356
do because we had a longer Board of Commissioners segment. But in this one, we have Mr. Herbert

421
00:39:40,356 --> 00:39:45,876
Huber, our 31st president. And I thought this was good. The whole inspiration of our civilization

422
00:39:45,876 --> 00:39:50,956
springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for

423
00:39:50,956 --> 00:39:56,056
these fundamentals is a necessity of American life. This goes back to what we've talked about

424
00:39:56,056 --> 00:40:00,656
with the Founders Bible and things like that and how our country was founded on this Christian

425
00:40:00,656 --> 00:40:07,276
principles. And I think it's just important that we echo that and that people are aware of that.

426
00:40:08,416 --> 00:40:12,996
Donations. Well, on the donation front, nothing new from Fountain. Still need to set up some of
