YES. THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ARE ALL APPROVED. AND THEN THE FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS ON THE BUSINESS AGENDA IS APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED CITIZEN COMMENT PARTICIPATION POLICY. AND MISS MAYNOR, OUR TOWN ADMINISTRATOR, HAS OUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND BOARD. THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGENDA ITEM IS TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION POLICY TO PROHIBIT ALL CAMPAIGN OR ELECTIONEERING REMARKS. THIS BOARD HAS HAD A LONG STANDING PRACTICE OF ALLOWING CITIZEN COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON YOUR AGENDA SINCE 1997, WELL BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AMENDED THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT TO REQUIRE THERE BE AN OPEN CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD AT ALL PUBLIC MEETINGS. IN 2021, THE BOARD APPROVED A CITIZEN COMMENT PARTICIPATION POLICY TO PROVIDE SPEAKERS WITH GUIDELINES AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO APPROACH THIS BODY DURING THAT PERIOD OF THE AGENDA, AND AT SOME OF OUR RECENT BOARD MEETINGS, WE'VE HAD CANDIDATES APPROACH THIS BODY TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND SHARE THEIR CAMPAIGN PLATFORMS, AND SOMETHING ABOUT THAT JUST DIDN'T FEEL QUITE RIGHT FOR A FORUM FOR TRANSACTING TOWN BUSINESS. SO WE DID ASK TOWN LEGAL COUNSEL TO LOOK INTO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESTRICT THAT TYPE OF SPEECH DURING CITIZEN COMMENT. AND AS LONG AS IT IS VIEWPOINT NEUTRAL AND A REASONABLE PROHIBITION, THEN YES, WE CAN. SO STAFF HAS PREPARED AN AMENDED CITIZEN 
          [00:05:01]
PARTICIPATION POLICY FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND THE PROPOSED MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE AMENDED CITIZEN PARTICIPATION POLICY TO PROHIBIT ALL CAMPAIGN OR ELECTIONEERING REMARKS AND, IF APPROVED, WE WILL AMEND THE CITIZEN COMMENT CARDS ACCORDINGLY.

MARSHALL. 
          YES. MR. STAMPS. YES. MAYOR FRAZIER. YES. THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED, AND WE'LL MOVE 
          [9.B Resolution 2026-17 - A Resolution to Amend Resolution 98-28, the Town's Current Fee Schedule]
ON TO RESOLUTION 2026. DASH 17 IS A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE RESOLUTION 98-28, THE TOWN'S FEE SCHEDULE. AND ADAM HAMRICK, OUR ASSISTANT TOWN ADMINISTRATOR, HAS OUR PRESENTATION. MR. HAMRICK, THANK YOU, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING. BOARD THIS ITEM REQUEST APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE TOWN'S FISCAL YEAR 27 FEE SCHEDULE. TOWN FEES ARE INTENDED TO RECOVER A PORTION OF THE COST, PROVIDING SERVICES, RATHER THAN GENERATE SIGNIFICANT NEW REVENUE, AND AS SUCH, PERIODIC UPDATES HELP ENSURE THAT THE FEES REMAIN ALIGNED WITH THE ACTUAL SERVICE DELIVERY COST AND THAT USERS PAY A FAIR SHARE OF THOSE COSTS. 
          HISTORICALLY, THE DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS OCCURRED MUCH LATER IN THE BUDGET PROCESS, BUT THIS YEAR, ADMINISTRATION BEGAN WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENTS EARLIER TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TIME TO EVALUATE THE EXISTING FEES, REVIEW THE SERVICE COSTS AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS. AND THE RESULTS OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS WERE PRESENTED TO THIS BOARD DURING THE MARCH 26TH WORK SESSION. SO FOR EASE OF REVIEW, ALL OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE ATTACHED SCHEDULE WITH DELETIONS SHOWN IN RED, STRIKETHROUGH TEXT AND ADDITIONS SHOWN IN BOLD BLUE TEXT. AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, I DO WANT TO MENTION THE TOWN IS PREPARING TO COMPLY WITH PUBLIC CHAPTER 140, WHICH TAKES EFFECT JULY 1ST. AND THIS LEGISLATION REQUIRES THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS PROVIDE WRITTEN JUSTIFICATION FOR CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT FEES EXCEEDING $250, AND STAFF IS CURRENTLY PREPARING A SUPPORTING DOCUMENT THAT WILL ACCOMPANY THE FY 27 FEE SCHEDULE AND WILL PROVIDE THE REQUIRED JUSTIFICATION, WHERE APPLICABLE. THE PROPOSED FEE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE FY 27 BUDGET, AND A PROPOSED MOTION IS ON YOUR BOARD REPORT. THANK YOU, MR. HAMMER. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ADAM SEEING NONE, IS THERE A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2026-17? SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, MR. HAMMOND, IF YOU'LL CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE, MR. HALL. YES. MR. JORDAN? YES, MISS. MARSHALL. YES. MR. STAMPS. YES. MR. ROBBINS. YES. MAYOR FRAZIER. YES. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THAT. THANK YOU. 
          [9.C  Resolution 2026-18 - A Resolution to Amend the FY 2026 General Fund and Capital Investment Program (CIP) Budgets]
THE NEXT ITEM IS RESOLUTION 2026-18. IT IS A RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE FY 2026 GENERAL FUND AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM BUDGETS AND JP SPA. OUR BUDGET OFFICER HAS OUR PRESENTATION, MISTER. JP THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ENGINEERING IS REQUESTING A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO APPROPRIATE $55,000 OF GENERAL FUND UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE FOR THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION AT PROGRESS ROAD SOCCER COMPLEX CIP PROJECT TO COVER THE COST OF THE ACCEPTED BID TESTING AND CONTINGENCY. THIS WILL BRING THE TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET TO $280,000, AND IF THE AMENDMENT IS APPROVED, THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL BUDGET AMENDMENT TO APPROPRIATE AND REFLECT THE ADDITIONAL $55,000 IN THE CIP STAFF IS ON HAND TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? NO QUESTIONS. IS THERE A MOTION, PLEASE. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, MR. HAMMOND, IF YOU'LL CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. MR. JORDAN? YES, MISS MARSHALL? YES.

          [9.D Review of Bids and Award of Contract for the Parking Lot Expansion at Progress Road Soccer Field]
APPROVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE NEXT ITEM IS THE REVIEW OF BID AND AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION AT PROGRESS ROAD SOCCER FIELD. AND DALE PERRYMAN, OUR TOWN ENGINEER, IS JOINING US WITH THAT PRESENTATION. MR. PERRYMAN, GOOD EVENING. BOARD AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS TO CONSIDER THE REVIEW OF BIDS. AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION AT THE PROGRESS ROAD SOCCER FIELD COMPLEX. THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF PROGRESS ROAD, WEST OF THE MID-SOUTH COVE, NORTH OF INDUSTRIAL PARK LANE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY FIVE SOCCER FIELDS LOCATED AT THIS COMPLEX. THE TOWN ORIGINALLY REQUIRED FIVE ACRES OF LAND TO DEVELOP THE SOCCER FIELD COMPLEX ON PROGRESS ROAD, WHERE TWO FULL SIZED FIELDS WERE CONSTRUCTED. IN 2014, THE TOWN ADDED A THIRD FULL SIZE FIELD ALONG WITH 41 PARKING SPACES. THE NEWEST FIELD WAS LATER DIVIDED INTO SMALLER FIELDS, RESULTING IN A GREATER NUMBER OF SPECTATORS ATTENDING PRACTICES AND GAMES. 
          STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING, AND NEARBY BUSINESSES HAVE 
          [00:10:04]
EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT VISITORS TO THE CIRCUIT, TO THE SOCCER COMPLEX, PARKING ON OR NEAR THEIR PROPERTIES. WORK FOR THIS PROJECT WILL INCLUDE DEMOLITION, MILLING OF ASPHALT, GRADING OF THE SITE, 28FT OF 15 INCH DRAINAGE PIPE INSTALLATION, CONCRETE, SWALES, SIDEWALKS, ADJUSTMENT OF UTILITIES, INSTALLATION OF ABOUT 641 TONS OF ASPHALT, AND OTHER ITEMS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT. NINE VENDORS REQUESTED COPIES OF PLANS AND ON MAY 6TH, FIVE BIDS WERE RECEIVED FROM QUALIFIED CONTRACTORS. THE BID CONSISTED OF A BASE BID WITH NO ALTERNATIVES. AFTER EVALUATION BID, IT WAS DETERMINED THE END SCORE WAS THE LOWEST AND MOST RESPONSIVE BIDDER FOR AN AMOUNT OF $247,102.20. THIS IS LOWER THAN THE SECOND LOWEST BID BY $18,175.87, THE BOARD REPORT SHOWS THE THREE LOWEST BIDS. THIS IS A UNIT PRICE CONTRACT WITH 90 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE WORK, WITH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AT $500 PER DAY. ANY REMAINING BALANCE AFTER THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE WILL BE REFUNDED. BACK TO THE RESPECTIVE ACCOUNTS. 
          THIS IS KIND OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. THIS WOULD BE THE NEW CONFIGURATION FOR THE 85 PARKING SPACES FOR HANDICAP, AND WRESTLING WOULD BE JUST NORMAL PARKING SPACES, SO IT SHOULD GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM OUT THERE TO PARK AS THEY HAVE GAMES AND PRACTICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS CONTRACT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, IS THERE A MOTION, PLEASE. MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, MISS DIMOND, IF YOU CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE, MISS MARSHALL. YES. MR. STAMPS. YES. MR. ROBBINS. YES. 
          MR. HALL. YES. MR. JORDAN. YES. MAYOR. FRAZIER. YES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM IS THE 
          [10.A Ordinance 2026-04 –  Second Reading and PUBLIC HEARING – 253 Natchez Street  An Ordinance Amending the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Collierville by Rezoning 0.38-acres from R-1: Low Density Residential to TN: Traditional Neighborhood Located East of Natchez Park Lane and on the South Side of Natchez Street, Case #260780]
SECOND READING AND A PUBLIC HEARING. AND THIS IS FOR 253 NATCHEZ STREET. AND IT'S AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE TOWN OF COLLIERVILLE BY REZONING 0.38 ACRES FROM R1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO TN TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD LOCATED EAST OF NATCHEZ PARK LANE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NATCHEZ STREET. AND SHEILA HATCHETT, OUR TOWN PLANNER, HAS A PRESENTATION. MISS SHEILA, GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. THE APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER, CARSON LOONEY, IS REQUESTING FOR APPROVAL TO REZONE THE 0.38 ACRE TRACT FROM R1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO T N TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD, WITH THE INTENT TO DEVELOP A NEW RESIDENTIAL DWELLING. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED EAST OF NATCHEZ PARK LANE AND SOUTH OF NATCHEZ STREET. THE REQUEST AND ZONING ZONING CHANGE WILL ONLY AFFECT THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY. THE USE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THE WHOLE REASON MR. LOONEY WANTS TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY IS TO GET THE SMALLER SETBACKS INTENDED FOR THE NEW DWELLING. THE LOT IS CURRENTLY ZONED R1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND IS SURROUNDED BY T, N AND OTHER R1 PROPERTIES. THE TEN ZONING DISTRICT ALLOWS FOR SMALLER SETBACKS THAN R1. HERE IS A COMPARISON OF THE TWO MAPS SHOWING THE EXISTING ZONING IN THE PROPOSED ZONING. THE ZONING STANDARDS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TABLE BELOW SHOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ZONING DISTRICTS IN TERMS OF LOT SIZE, LOT WIDTHS, AND SETBACKS. THE CURRENT LOT WIDTH IS ABOUT 87FT WIDE, WHICH MEETS THE T N BULK REQUIREMENTS FOR STREET LOADED LOTS, BUT IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO SUBDIVIDE INTO MULTIPLE STREET LOADED LOTS. 
          UNDER THE PROPOSED ZONING STANDARDS. THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE HISTORIC OVERLAY AT THE HDC MEETING ON THE 28TH, THE HTC GRANTED A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE TWO STRUCTURES CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY. THE NEARBY DEVELOPMENTS INCLUDE STRATTON HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION. FREE SUBDIVISION, WASHINGTON GATES PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT, TWININGS OF COLLIERVILLE SUBDIVISION, AND HOMEWOOD PLACE SUBDIVISION, ALL OF WHICH ARE ZONED TN EXCEPT THE SUBDIVISION. THE PROPOSED REZONING SUPPORTS THE 2010 DOWNTOWN SMALL AREA PLAN AND THE 2040 LAND USE PLAN BY PROMOTING COMPATIBLE SINGLE FAMILY INFILL DEVELOPMENT ALONG NATCHEZ STREET. THE TN ZONING DISTRICT ENSURES CONSISTENCY WITH THE HISTORIC CHARACTER OF THE DOWNTOWN OF DOWNTOWN COLLIERVILLE. SIMILAR TO THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENTS. THE PROPOSED MOTION IS ON YOUR SCREEN ALONG WITH THE 
          [00:15:04]
APPLICANT'S NEXT STEPS, AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 2040 LAND USE PLAN AND THE 2010 DOWNTOWN PLAN. THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION. I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT TO GIVE HER A QUESTION. THIS IS OUR FIRST. GOOD JOB. YOU DID A VERY THOROUGH JOB AND WE APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. THANK YOU. THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS. IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE. SORRY A SECOND. I'M SORRY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. 
          IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WANTED TO ADDRESS THE BOARD REGARDING THIS ITEM? MR. LOONEY? THUMBS UP. OKAY, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION. WE HAD A MOTION SECOND, AND WE HAVE A SECOND. SO, MISS DIAMOND, IF YOU'LL CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE, MR. STAMPS. YES. 
          MR. ROBBINS. YES. MR. HALL. YES. MR. JORDAN. YES, MISS. MARSHALL. YES. MAYOR FRAZIER. YES. THANK

          [12.A Resolution 2026-15 - A Resolution to Adopt the FY 2026-2027 Fiscal Year Annual Operating Budget, Capital Investment Program (CIP) Budget, and Collierville Schools Budget]
AND YOUR STAFF. GOOD WORK. OKAY. THE NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS RESOLUTION 2026-15. AND THIS IS TO ADOPT THE 2627 FISCAL YEAR ANNUAL BUDGET, OPERATING BUDGET, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET, SCHOOLS BUDGET AND MISS MAYNOR HAS OUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. MAYOR, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT THE FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET TO YOU THIS EVENING FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION. 
          AS WE TALKED ABOUT DURING OUR LAST MEETING, DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, THE BUDGET FUNCTIONS AS THE PRIMARY INSTRUMENT FOR FISCAL CONTROL. IT ALSO SERVES AS A POLICY GUIDE, FINANCIAL PLAN, OPERATIONS GUIDE, AND A COMMUNICATIONS TOOL TO THE PUBLIC. TO THE STAFF. ET CETERA. 
          OUR FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS. ARE CONSISTENT WITH RECENT YEARS IN KEEPING COLLIERVILLE SAFE, ADDRESSING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, SUPPORTING EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT, AND MEETING TECHNOLOGICAL NEEDS. AND THESE PRIORITIES HAVE SERVED US WELL AND STRENGTHENED PUBLIC SAFETY, TECHNOLOGY, WORKFORCE STABILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT SINCE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR LAST MEETING, THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW MINOR CHANGES I'LL HIGHLIGHT QUICKLY. IN THE GENERAL FUND, WE HAVE A MINOR REVENUE ADJUSTMENT DUE TO THE EARLY RETIREMENT OF A WATER AND SEWER LOAN, AFFECTING INTEREST IN THE AMOUNT OF $72,000. WE ALSO HAVE SEVERAL CARRY FORWARDS FROM FISCAL YEAR 26 TO FISCAL YEAR 27 FOR PROJECTS THAT WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL THE NEW FISCAL YEAR, INCLUDING THE MAST ARM PAINTING. 
          STREETLIGHT PAINTING, A CROSSWALK PAVER IMPROVEMENT ON CENTER STREET, AND THE ROAD ASSET PROJECT. WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED SOME FUNDING FOR THE WARNING SIGN MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, OUR RETROFITS TO TWO SCHOOL FLASHERS. WE WANT TO GET THAT DONE BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS, AND A DONATION FOR THE POLICE K-9 EQUIPMENT. AND SO THESE CHANGES RESULT IN ROUGHLY AN ADDITIONAL $412,562 TO THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND, YOU'LL SEE THE EQUIVALENT IMPACT ON THE EXPENDITURES FOR THE EARLY RETIREMENT OF THAT WATER AND SEWER LOAN. AND LASTLY, IN THE CIP, YOU'LL SEE WE'VE REPLACED THE WOLF RIVER PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PROJECT WITH A NEW PROJECT FOR THE WOLF RIVER BOULEVARD TRAIL AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS AT $3.4 MILLION. AND I DO WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO STATE REPRESENTATIVE KEVIN VAUGHN FOR ASSISTING US WITH GETTING THAT 
          [00:20:03]
STATE FUNDING REAPPROPRIATED FOR THAT PROJECT. SO AS WE COVERED AT OUR LAST MEETING, OUR REVENUES PROJECTED FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR TOTALED $95 MILLION. AND THAT INCLUDES PROPERTY AND SALES TAX, ALONG WITH LICENSES AND PERMITS, INTERGOVERNMENTAL FEES AND OTHER CHARGES, FINES AND FEES, AND OUR EXPENDITURES TOTAL $89.8 MILLION. AGAIN, AS MENTIONED AT THE LAST MEETING, THE ONLY REORGANIZATION WE HAVE THIS YEAR IS THE GIS SERVICES BECOMING A STANDALONE DIVISION WITHIN DEVELOPMENT. AT THE REQUEST OF THAT DEPARTMENT. AGAIN, GIS SERVES A LOT MORE THAN JUST THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THEY SERVE ACTUALLY ALMOST ALL OF THE TOWN DEPARTMENTS, AND SO IT MADE SENSE TO HAVE THEM AS A STANDALONE DIVISION. SO OUR REVENUE IS $5.1 MILLION OVER EXPENDITURES. AND YOU CAN SEE THE OPERATING TRANSFER OF 14.9 MILLION. THE MAJORITY OF THAT GOES OUT TO THE CIP. SPEAKING OF CIP, THIS YEAR TOTALS 14.8 MILLION. THIS IS A LITTLE MORE THAN YOU SAW AT THE LAST MEETING. AGAIN, BECAUSE WE ADDED IN THAT WOLF RIVER TRAIL AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. OTHER ITEMS IN THE CIP INCLUDE DOWNTOWN DRAINAGE, PHASE FIVE, THE TOWN WIDE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES, BURROUGHS ROAD WATER AND SEWER PROJECT, NEW AUTOMATED GARBAGE TRUCK, AND TOM BROOKS PARK. 
          PHASE THREE ADDITIONAL ONE TIME PROJECTS INCLUDE A DRAINAGE BASIN STUDY, GREENBELT OVERLAY WORK AND A ZONING CODE ASSESSMENT TO FOLLOW ADOPTION OF THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          CIP INVESTMENTS ARE DISTRIBUTED PRIMARILY TO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS, INCLUDING ROOF REPLACEMENTS AT TOWN HALL AND THE PARK COMMUNITY CENTER, I.T UPGRADES AND REPLACEMENT OF THE DEPOT CONCRETE PLATFORM. FUNDING SOURCES INCLUDE THE GENERAL FUND, 1.7 MILLION IN STORMWATER, AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT DIRECT APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE OF TENNESSEE FOR THAT CIP PROJECT THAT WE'VE ADDED, THE WOLF RIVER TRAIL AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. 
          SO THE TOTAL BUDGET YOU'RE ASKED TO VOTE ON THIS EVENING IS REFLECTED IN THIS SLIDE, INCLUDING THE GENERAL FUND, WATER AND SEWER FUND, SANITATION, OTHER FUNDS IN THE CIP FOR A TOTAL TOWN BUDGET OF $139.2 MILLION, AND THE SCHOOL'S BUDGET IS ALSO INCLUDED AT 137 MILLION, FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $276 MILLION, AND DEVELOPING THE FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET. AGAIN, WE EMPHASIZE PUBLIC SAFETY, INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES, EMPLOYEE SUPPORT AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT. AND AS PART OF THIS, THE BUDGET INCLUDES THE $5 SANITATION FEE INCREASE TO $32 A MONTH, 3% SALARY INCREASE FOR FULL AND PART TIME EMPLOYEES, TWO NEW HOLIDAYS, ONE PERSONAL DAY AND ENHANCED VACATION ACCRUALS, WHICH EVERYONE'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT, I MUST SAY. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. A NEW $5 A MONTH STREET INFRASTRUCTURE FEE TO SUPPORT AN ADDITIONAL 10 TO 11 LANE MILES OF PAVING EACH YEAR. 
          CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN THE TOWN WIDE NETWORK UPGRADES. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WATER SEWER RATE SCHEDULE, FULL FUNDING OF REQUIRED PENSION AND OPEB CONTRIBUTIONS, AND AGAIN MAINTAINING OUR CURRENT TAX RATE OF $1.62, WHICH YOU JUST APPROVED. WITH THAT, WE HAVE A PROPOSED MOTION ON THE SCREEN TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2026-15. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GREAT PRESENTATION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS MINOR? I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A PERSONAL POINT OF PRIVILEGE AND THANK MOLLY AND ALL THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND THIS BOARD, BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS JOB, THAT WE HAVE TO APPROVE A BALANCED BUDGET, AND EVERYONE ON THE BOARD DOES TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY, AND IT GETS A LOT OF INPUT. AND NOW WE HAVE TO SHARE THE MESSAGE OF HOW WE'RE SPENDING OUR MONEY AND THAT WE ARE VERY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE AND ALL THE TOWN EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS HAS A SAY IN OUR BUDGET AND ARE WORKING HARD EVERY DAY TO MAXIMIZE EVERY PENNY OF OUR OF, OF OUR BUDGET. SO THANK YOU ALL. AND IS THERE A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2026-15? SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, MISS DIAMOND, IF YOU'LL CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. MR. HALL? YES. MR. JORDAN? YES, MISS MARSHALL. 
          YES. MR. STAMPS. YES. MR. ROBBINS. YES. MAYOR FRAZIER. YES, THAT'S BEEN APPROVED. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE US THIS EVENING? NOTHING FURTHER, MAYOR. NOTHING FURT
