My Comment

My two resolutions

I had two resolutions that were on the agenda for the commission meeting on Monday. Resolution 2-26-20 dealing with annexation passed 16-7. The full discussion from the County Commission meeting and Franklin's BOMA response are in my reports below. To say that this is controversial is an understatement. The bill that this resolution supports is SB2311 and HB2419. You can contact your state representative and state senator to let them know how you feel about this bill. If you are not sure what district you are in, go here and type in your address.

The second resolution was 2-26-19 to create a task force to study our need to transition from volunteer to paid firefighters in unincorporated areas was deferred to September so that the County Technical Assistance Service (CTAS) can do a study at no cost to us. They did a study for Knox County and you can go here to see it.

The AI program I use is pretty accurate, but it does make mistakes from time to time and I don't always catch them. I provide agendas and videos/audios when I have them available and recommend that you watch the video and follow along with the summary to get the most accurate report.

One of the limitations of AI is that if a participant's name is not called out, then they are listed as participant 1, 2, etc. A limitation with audio, as opposed to video, is that one cannot always identify a person by voice alone. As imperfect as these AI summaries are, they still give a pretty good account of a meeting.

Action Items

[ ] Eric - Resend resolution 2-26-20 to Alderman Peterson Alderman Peterson hasn't seen the county's resolution yet.

Overview

City's winter storm response (January 24-25, 2026) was highly effective with 800+ employees working across all departments—Fire handled 246 calls, Police logged 1,163 calls, and Streets used over 1,000 tons of salt while clearing debris in 3 weeks (compared to county's 3-month estimate)
Employee engagement survey showed 74% positive score, up 7 points from 67% in 2023 and 7 points above local government benchmark—turnover dropped 30% and applications per position increased 60% over past three years
Stormwater fund requires fee increase to become self-sustaining—staff recommends Option 4 raising rate from $3.83 to $6.76 per ERU by 2031 (about $2 per month initial increase for small residential customers) to eliminate general fund transfers projected at $2M annually by 2030
City Hall construction remains under $100M budget with forecast of $92-94M, topping out scheduled for May 2027 and large crane removal in July 2027
Vice Mayor Baggett drafted resolution strongly opposing Williamson County Commission Resolution 2026-20 for attempting to change UGB regulations without municipal consultation—resolution condemns "big government overregulation" and lack of collaborative process

Communications gained 2,500 new social media followers during event with 66,600 visits to winter weather guide page
City operations stayed open entire time at Tier 2 (modified operations) rather than shutting down like other governments
Mark went door-to-door on 3rd Avenue handing out flyers to residents about construction noise and timeline

Downtown Franklin Awards scheduled for March 5, 2026 at 7:00 PM at Franklin Theater

Design-build legislation support

City requesting board support for Senate Bill 2334 enabling design-build delivery method for local governments
Design-build would combine design and construction into single contract to streamline large infrastructure projects and potentially improve value
State has used design-build for years on high-profile projects with good results—city wants same tool available at local level
This differs from construction manager at risk method used for City Hall, which brought construction manager on later in process
Several other local governments across Tennessee advocating for this tool
City's legislators indicated support when city met with them in January 2026

Ewingville Drive emergency repair change order

Change Order 2 transfers bypass pumping from city control to Garney Construction for easier equipment management and refueling
Includes $200,000 credit for Chestnut Bend Manhole work that didn't meet initial standards
Adds adverse weather conditions language with final completion date and liquidated damages provision
Cost increase of $296,000 total
Weather delays added about 25 days to schedule but no underground water encountered
Chestnut Bend work will need spring inspection to verify quality

Stormwater fund cost of service study

Stormwater fund supports 22 employees (16 in Streets, 6 in Engineering) plus operating costs and equipment replacement
Current fee of $3.83 per ERU per month hasn't been increased since 2021 (originally $3.65 in 2004)
ERU based on 3,350 square feet of impervious area—small residential pays 75% of ERU ($2.87), large residential pays 120% ($4.60), commercial pays based on actual impervious area
Fund has 32,413 customers (65.5% small residential, 30% large residential, 4.5% commercial)
Expenditures have outpaced revenues since 2022, requiring general fund transfers projected to reach $2M annually by 2030 without fee increase
Option 1: No change, requires continued transfers
Option 2: Increase $1.88 per ERU in FY 2027 to $5.71, then inflationary adjustments to $6.76 by 2031—fund becomes self-sustaining immediately
Option 3: Phased increase of $0.59 per year to $6.76 by 2031—reduces but doesn't eliminate transfers
Option 4 (staff recommendation): Increase $2.07 per ERU in FY 2027 to $5.90, then inflationary adjustments to $6.76 by 2031—builds 15% fund balance for sustainability
Small residential customer would see annual increase of $20.70 in first year under Option 4, then about $2.07 per year after
Eric strongly urged board to consider Option 4 despite being most aggressive, noting it prevents diverting general fund dollars from core services like police, fire, streets, and parks
Mayor and Vice Mayor Baggett both favored Option 4 for building fund balance with only $0.10 more per month than Option 2 by 2031

Employee engagement survey results

Survey conducted last two weeks of October 2025 using EnerGauge (same independent third party as 2023)
Response rate of 90% (down 1% from 2023 but more total employees participated due to growth)

Top scoring statements: teamwork (88%), job satisfaction, referral, values, meaningfulness of work—all improved since 2023
Bottom scoring statements: meetings, accountability, interdepartmental cooperation, including employees—all showed growth but remain focus areas
Biggest movers: motivation, recognition, execution, referral, fairness all increased significantly
No statements decreased from 2023 survey
Compared to benchmark: pay, commitment, benefits, referral, training scored highest—only meetings scored 2 points below benchmark
CEO rating of 70% (up slightly from 2023), leadership team rating of 72% (4 points above benchmark)
Gap between highest and lowest scoring departments narrowed from 31% to 16%—more consistent experience across organization
Employee turnover dropped 30% in last three years, applications per position increased nearly 60%
Focus areas for next two years: accountability, interdepartmental cooperation, meetings, process improvement
Will also lean into strengths: meaningful work, strong values, teamwork, recognition
Board thanked for compensation plan support—moving to 90th percentile market target contributed to strong pay and benefits scores

County resolution opposition

Vice Mayor Baggett drafted resolution opposing Williamson County Commission Resolution 2026-20 passed previous night
County resolution proposes material changes to long-standing UGB planning and infrastructure frameworks without municipal consultation

Resolution argues county action would impose additional regulatory layers on property owners within UGBs, increase government interference with property rights, contradict conservative principles of limited government
City urges state delegation to refrain from advancing legislation affecting municipalities without evidence of good faith collaboration
Resolution calls for county and municipalities to convene in good faith to collaboratively address shared challenges and reaffirm cooperative planning principles
Will be sent to governor, state house, state senate, and all elected officials
Eric noted cities are sharing similar resolutions—other municipalities expected to take similar action
Resolution will be published in agenda and brought back for vote on February 24, 2026
Board can provide feedback for tweaks to wording before vote
Alderman Brown supported strong language, asked if joint resolution needed—Eric said each city may have own issues to address but core message should be similar

Fire work schedule and overtime models

Current model is 24/48 (work 24 hours, off 48 hours) on 28-day cycle
Alternative models include 24/72 requiring fourth shift with steep financial impact, and 48/96 with some financial impact
40-hour work week model could be implemented for substantially less cost while investing in existing talent instead of creating new shift
Stuckey outlined three foundational factors for evaluation: service impact to community, impact on personnel and their wellbeing, and financial impact
Department will proceed thoughtfully considering fair labor standards guidelines, consistency with other work schedules, market competitiveness for attraction and retention, and ability to maintain top-tier talent recruitment
Alderman Brown suggested exploring pilot program at single station or shift to test models before full department implementation
Alderman Caesar emphasized importance of understanding regional and competitive trends to maintain leadership in recruitment and retention, noting recent online discussions from out-of-state firefighters asking about Franklin's work-life balance

Fire Marshal King deferred to broader city development fee structure managed by Building and Neighborhood Services
Stuckey previewed that Building and Neighborhood Services will present fee structure discussion in March including residential base fees that have not been adjusted for some time
City has authority to charge reinspection fees but has not implemented them; would require education and transition period for development community
Stuckey indicated fee discussion will include analysis of cost to provide services versus current charges, with "spoiler alert, there's a difference"
Alderman Brown requested data on number of touch points (site visits, meetings, plan reviews) per new development plan to inform personnel and fee decisions
Fire prevention uses electronic plan review enabling continuous digital queue and immediate feedback rather than delays from physical document review
