First reading, multiple workshops, lengthy discussions,

side meetings = City 2009/2010 budget still on the table
By Tomi L. Wiley
Managing Editor
After an initial first
reading, several workshops
and hours of discussion Mt.
Juliet city commissioners
voted to defer approval of
the 2009/2010 budget Mon-
day night.
City commission-
ers wielded their “whittling
tools” and discussed a vari-
ety of possible budget cuts
but failed to come to a con-
sensus on the proposed bud-
get. Some of the budget cuts
suggested (although not in-
dividually recommended) by
City Manager Randy Robert-
son included:
- $5,500 for a web-
streaming encoder for Chan-
nel 3
- $50,000 from a con-
tingency fund for City At-
torney Jason Holleman for
“lawsuit issues”
- a total of $38,637 for
the acquisition of a new Mt.
Juliet Police vehicle and ac-
companying equipment
- $7,500 to only par-
tially pave sections of Mun-
dy Park instead of the origi-
nal $15,000 to totally pave
the park
- $45,000 – 50,000 for
a vacant building inspector
position within the Public
Works department
- $50,000 cut in
health insurance policies for
city commissioners
- $25,000 for the City-
sponsored Fourth of July
fireworks celebration (“I
would recommend not doing
that,” Robertson noted.)
City Finance Director John Rossmaier said the projected
sales tax and business tax revenues for the new Lowe’s is
projected at a total of $256,000 per year.
- some $33,000 for
new security cameras and
an updated contract for City
Hall
These money-saving
items were, again, only up
for discussion. The board
voted 3 – 2 in favor, in dis-
cussion only, for the $50,000
cut in insurance policies for
city commissioners, with
Mayor Linda Elam and Dis-
trict 4 Commissioner Jim
Bradshaw voting against the
measure.
Two other budget-
cutting items proposed by
Robertson were the elimi-
nation of woodchipping,
where “real dollars” could be
saved, as well as contracting
out animal control services,
which was deemed too costly
and would reduce, Elam re-
marked, influence over that
area of City control.
Other possible cuts
were in the MJPD sector,
including removing the cur-
rent community-oriented
programs such as the COPS
and Explorers programs.
MJPD Chief Andy Garrett
said that while he didn’t
want to cut any officer pro-
grams, he believed elimi-
nating community-oriented
programs would be deficient
to the community and “adds
more than saving budget
money.” He added that he
considers “any time an of-
ficer speaks to a citizen a
community outreach,” but
that by removing Officer Ty-
ler Chandler from his post as
community policing director
and “putting him back on
the streets” he would then
have to remove one officer
per shift from patrol, thus
causing a deficiency in offi-
cers on patrol in Mt. Juliet.
Robertson reiterated
that the budget numbers
are based on businesses

Economic and Community
Development Director
Kenny Martin said Monday
that the response has been
“awesome.” He said that
as of late Friday afternoon
there had been a combined
response between CU and
Mt. Juliet City Hall of over
50 people.
“Already the response
has been significant, with
calls for information coming
to the City of Mt. Juliet office,
and, of course, directly to
Cumberland,” Eaton said
Monday. “All of the inquires
that have gone to the City of
Mt. Juliet were passed over
to Cumberland immediately
so that they could receive
a response as soon as
possible.”
Besides local interest
in the program, there are
several steps that must be
taken before Cumberland
can establish a presence in
Mt. Juliet, Eaton continued.
“The leadership
of Mt. Juliet has been
very encouraging in
their discussions with
Cumberland concerning
activities we might have
there. We consider a Mt.
Juliet presence to be an
strategic growth,” Eaton
said, “but must assure
that the specific
activities we attempt
in the city are: (1)
programmatically
logical for us, the
City, and the region
in the long-term,
(2) fit the strategic

and (3) make

points are critical, and
must be the primary
drivers for Cumberland’s
decision. Taking each one
separately, we are looking for
a long-term, logical outreach
to Mt. Juliet. The areas that
make sense for the region,
and for us, are professional
studies in business,
technology and healthcare,
especially as they affect the
working adult. So, those are
the strategic directions that
guide our actions. Second,
we must also make sure
the directions in which we
go fit the strategic plan of
the University, and these
areas certainly do. Finally,
the business proposition
must make sense for us
to continue this or any
program.”

The Mt. Juliet Animal Shelter regularly has an

overabundance of kittens available for adoption. Kittens
are cute and sweet and grow up to be cats. Have mice?
Cats eat mice. Need someone to talk to? A cat will listen
to you, and a kitten, before it grows up to be a cat, may
even pause in play long enough to acknowledge you
and your problems. Admit it, cats are cool. Go get one.
They’re clean, I guess, and quiet enough. Look, I’m a
dog person, and I’m allergic to cats, but cats are cool
enough, and if I wasn’t afraid of breaking out in hives
or scaring my Farm Dog, I’d go get one myself. Plus,
my mom’s afraid of them. So, long story short, no cat
for me. But you should go get one. Call the Mt. Juliet
Animal Shelter today at 615-773-5533 or just stop by at
115 Industrial Drive, at the top of the hill. They also need
volunteers. Volunteering is good for kids, churches and
families. Help out a kitty today. You know you want to.

Mt. Juliet Rd. carnival is fundraiser for county Explorers

County mayor gives permission for ‘first carnival on that spot’
By Tomi L. Wiley
Managing Editor
Kids of all ages can
enjoy a carnival set up on
Mt. Juliet Road to benefit
the Wilson County Explor-
ers, the first of its kind,
many say, to be offered at
that location.
Wilson County
Sheriff’s Department Deputy
Greg Lasater said that
Cumberland Valley Shows
owner Jeremy Floyd, a one-
time member of Lasater’s
Boy Scout troop, offered to
donate part of the carnival
funds to the Explorers. The
carnival, set up in Lebanon
last week, also benefits
the Lebanon High School
Booster Club.
Lasater said 15 per-
cent of profits from the car-
nival, which runs through
Saturday, will benefit the
Wilson County Explorers,
“hopefully to fund the sum-
mer Explorer Acadmey,”
which have been postponed
this year. Lasater said the
funds will also be used for
“much needed equipment for
training,” as well as T-shirts,
hats, and winter clothing.
According to the
website, “the Wilson County
Sheriff’s Explorer Program
began in the fall of 2000
with six members. To date
the program has 25 active
members. The Explorer
Program is designed for
young men and women ages
14 - 18 who are interested
in law enforcement as a ca-
reer. The Explorer Program
reaches out to many young
people to learn various police
tactics, patrol procedures,
drug detection, search and
seizures, DUI detection, self
defense, firearms safety and
many other law enforcement
topics.
The explorers also learn
to camping, canoeing, cav-
ing, and wilderness survival
skills. Each year explorers the Explorers are working tary School property, for the

Across from the Mt. Juliet Library Southeastern Division
National Antique Car Show
758-GRIN (4746) will be held June 13 in the
historic village of Fiddlers
Grove at the James E. Ward
Ag Center in Lebanon.
There have only
been three National shows
in Tennessee, but one has
never been held in a pioneer
village like Fiddlers Grove.
This show is being hosted
by the Antique Automobile
Club of America and the
Middle Tennessee Region
Antique Club of Lebanon.
The deadline for
registration was June 3, and
approximately 320 cars have
been entered from all over
the United States with 16
states represented. National
shows are known for the best
and the most unique cars in
America to be shown, and
organizer said this show will
be no exception.
The show will begin
on Thursday, June 11,
with a Car Corral offering
antique cars for sale and
an automobile flea market
as well. Both of these will
continue through Friday
from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The antique
competitive car show will be
held on Saturday only with
cars entering Fiddlers Grove
from 7 - 10:30 a.m. with the
awards presentation at 4:30
p.m.
Organizers said
the uniqueness of this
show will be the fact that
the automobiles will be
displayed in the midst of
over 50 historic buildings
of Fiddlers Grove. The
pioneer village will be in
full operation with all
buildings open for tour with
craftsmen, storytellers and
musicians bringing a great
addition to the show. Great
food will also be available.
There is no admission fee
for this once in a lifetime
opportunity. For more

Martin added that
the location of a CU satellite

adults seeking higher
education would be a dream
come true for many people.
“The location and
hours of the Mt. Juliet
location will allow many who
have been dreaming about
entering a career in nursing
to become a reality if the
program comes to fruition,”
Martin said Monday. “We’d
like to be a huge part of

expressed how they had
been searching for such a
program and was excited to
see that Cumberland was
considering Mt. Juliet for a
possible location.”
Location is the key
word at this point, and Mt.
Juliet City Manager Randy
Robertson said Monday
that Cumberland officials
were pondering nearly a
dozen different locations in
Mt. Juliet to settle. As of
Tuesday, possible locations
were still being considered.
According to
Hinesley, location for a
possible CU nursing program
is “probably pretty high on
their list” of priorities. And
as far as priorities in Mt.
Juliet for the betterment of
its residents and workforce,
continuing education ranks
high on the list, since higher
education of a workforce often
means better accessibility to
corporate recruitment.
“A community with
access to higher education
is a community much better
poised for the future than one
without this opportunity,”
Hinesley noted.

nursing program in Mt.

Old Friend
A salute to our great Teachers
With yet another school year nearing an end, I would like to personally salute and thank
all our wonderful teachers on a job well done. As each and every school year passes, yet another
bright - faced group of young adults walk across the graduation stage to receive their much
anticipated and earned High School Diploma. As the parents, relatives, teachers and friends
beam with excitement and pride, our teachers feel as if they’ve lost another child from the nest.
You see, to our teachers, these now young adults are their adopted children in heart and soul.
Are teachers become extremely close to these children and take great pride in watching
them grow and learn over the years. So you can only imagine the pride and love these teachers
feel for their adopted kids when they watch them graduate from high school or move up to
another grade level. It’s like watching your child leave the nest, times one hundred.
I have fortunately had the opportunity to guest speak for many teachers over the years,
and the one thing I’ve come to realize, is that teachers love what they do. While working with
various teachers, I’ve come to know that our teachers have a tough job. Teachers must keep the
attention of our children each and every school day. They must prepare lesson plans, homework
assignments and the trust and respect of the children, in order to grow their minds.
Let me assure the teachers that you have indeed succeeded in your job. You have once
again gone above and beyond the call of duty and given your hearts and souls to the children.
In closing, I can’t thank you enough for what you have done and continue to do for the
children. Next to parents, teachers are the most influential people your child will ever be around.
God Bless our Teachers!
