U.S Representative district 7

We all need to get behind our Republican candidate Matt Van Epps as this is not a lay down election. The Democrats are well organized and energized. As I mentioned earlier, the vote differential between Republicans and Democrats in the recent primary was only 18%, 36,854 Republicans to 31,002 Democrats for a difference of only 5,852 votes. The Democrat establishment is zeroing in on this election and if they can flip this seat to blue, it will change the dynamic in Washington and give the Democrats a win that will reverberate around the country. We cannot let this happen.

Van Epps' opponent, Aftyn Behn, more Aftyn, more Aftyn and one more is a leftist who would fit right in with AOC and her cohorts. She literally hates Nashville.

BOMA is considering implementing Infrastructure development district policy

This is controversial, and we need to understand what all this means. BOMA discussed a draft of this policy for the city of Franklin in their last Work Session (see below in my report) and will be revisiting it at their December 9th meeting. For now, this is a link to the draft of their policy, Infrastructure Development Districts. I will have more next week.

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.

Williamson County School District

The only meeting in December is the Policy Committee meeting that will be held on December 15th. I will have information on that once it's published by WCS.

Williamson County Commission

Monday November 24th

The Education Committee Agenda Audio Committee members: Steve Smith (C), Bill Petty (VC), Chris Richards, Drew Torres, Judy Herbert. Commissioner Richards was absent.

AI Summary

Overview

Committee accepted Williamson County Schools' five-year capital plan for submission to county government in January
Proposed funding needs for FY25-26 dropped from $143M to $61M compared to last year's plan
School board accelerated Split Log middle school timeline against administration's recommendation, moving $17M in site development from FY26-27 to FY25-26 for projected fall 2029 completion
Total five-year projected needs decreased by $316M compared to prior year's plan
Plan includes LED field light upgrades for all 9 high schools and ongoing physical/cyber security infrastructure improvements
Current school debt sits around $600M with potential to double over next 5 years, though $94-97M is available in education impact fee funds

Five-year capital plan overview

Jason presented the proposed capital plan with reorganized structure: real estate, new buildings, additions/renovations, then maintenance
Administration moved all new construction projects to the new buildings section, leaving only renovations in the second section
Committee received hard copies of current five-year plan for comparison to proposed version

Split Log middle school timeline

School board voted to accelerate middle school timeline against administration's original recommendation
Administration proposed fall 2030 completion with site development funding in FY26-27
Board amended to move $17M site development to FY25-26 for fall 2029 completion
Site requires extensive rock work and site preparation
Administration reasoning for delay: Woodland, Sunset, and Mill Creek middle schools still have capacity
Board reasoning for acceleration: Mill Creek Middle already full and encroaching on Mill Creek Elementary space, concerns about 2029 vs 2030 opening with growing middle school enrollment
Jason recommended approval of board's amendment because capital plan should alert county government to needs earlier rather than later to avoid surprises

LED field light upgrades

Plan includes replacing metal halide field lights with LED lights at all 9 high schools
Old metal halide lights require bucket trucks on fields for repairs, causing potential turf damage
Last ESCO (energy savings) evaluation showed field lights don't consume enough energy to fund replacement through energy savings alone
Project timeline depends on contractor availability and field use schedules—likely won't complete all schools in one year
LED lights provide longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs with modest energy savings

ALC relocation to 300 Beasley

County government proposed moving Alternative Learning Center to bottom floor of 300 Beasley building
Jim Cross's company Oversight is designing mezzanine space and upper floor offices
Schools plan to move 4-person safety department from E911 building to new office space
Additional office space will be available but exact number of offices depends on final design
Project will increase ALC student capacity beyond current levels
County government may fund project using education impact fee funds given capacity increase

Physical and cyber security infrastructure

Annual requests of $12-15M represent third year of multi-year fobbing project for school door access control
FY25-26 will finalize door fobbing installation across all schools
Projects also include intercom and radio replacements on replacement cycles
Commissioner Torres requested macro-level breakdown of security projects for better transparency
Jason emphasized security improvements will be ongoing indefinitely as threats evolve and new safety measures emerge
State employee assigned to Williamson County and Franklin Special schools provides guidance on prioritization
Current priority is hardening building access with electronic controls; panic buttons may be future consideration

School renovations and aging buildings

Grassland Middle School renovation included in plan—building opened in 1986 (now 40 years old)
Renovation focuses on infrastructure modernization: door replacements, ductwork, HVAC, ceiling tiles, cabinetry
Renovations aren't cosmetic facelifts but necessary infrastructure updates for aging buildings
Schools at ~70% capacity still use nearly all classroom spaces due to state-required services like Response to Intervention that didn't exist 40 years ago
Franklin High and Fairview press boxes/facilities identified as aging but not yet prioritized for renovation funding
Discussion about whether to renovate entire buildings when enrollment is below capacity—administration's position is to modernize full infrastructure since all spaces remain in use for required services

Funding mechanisms and debt concerns

Current school system debt approximately $600M with potential to double over next 5 years based on projections
Commissioner noted $94-97M currently available in education impact fee funds
Impact fees can fund new buildings, additions to existing schools, and projects like ALC relocation
Commissioner Torres advocated for moving recurring items like asphalt, HVAC, and roofs into operational budget rather than debt financing
Bus purchases now funded through fund balance rather than capital plan
Administration acknowledged total five-year projection "can feel overwhelming" but emphasized $316M reduction from prior year
Chemistry class fundraising clarification: Ravenwood's communication incorrectly suggested $3,500 per class was required; administration clarified base needs are budgeted and donations are voluntary to enhance quality beyond baseline

Tuesday December 2nd

The Opioid Abatement Taskforce will meet at 1:30 pm in the Executive Conference Room of the Williamson County Administrative Complex at 1320 W. main, Franklin. I have no further information.

Wednesday December 3rd

The Highway Commission will meet at 8:30 am in the Williamson County Highway Facility 302 Beasley Drive, Franklin. I have no further information.

Emergency Hobas pipe repair at Ewingville Drive requires $1.45M change order with total project cost around $7.7M, funded through sewer fund balance and budgetary savings without issuing new debt
Board provided extensive feedback on draft infrastructure development district (IDD) policy, with concerns the framework is too bureaucratic and may discourage developer participation while others emphasized need for clear public benefit requirements
City Hall redevelopment tracking for fall 2027 completion at $94.7M adjusted cost after absorbing $2.4M in additional subsurface work

Busque Place affordable and workforce housing

Hill LLC proposed 44-unit development (increased from original 33 units) with subsidy request of $3,480,590
Unit breakdown: 10 affordable units for families at 80% or below area median income, 34 workforce units for families at 80-150% of median income
Per-unit subsidy: $65,000 for workforce units, $125,000 for affordable units in 44-unit scenario
Funding breakdown: $1.5M for infrastructure investment, $479,700 land reimbursement from water management, $600,000 from future CDBG allocations, plus development fee relief from Title 21
County originally pledged $1M in ARPA funds but has since reprogrammed those dollars
LLC invested $250,000 of their own funds and reduced administrative fee from 6% to 2% (saving $700,000-$800,000) to close funding gap
Partnership includes Pinnacle for construction loan and Housing Fund of Nashville committed to purchase 10 houses upfront at $365,000-$375,000 range
All units will be deed restricted in perpetuity to maintain affordability, with restrictions renewed each time property changes hands
Board expressed strong support with Alderman Blanton emphasizing need for bold action on housing crisis, Alderman Potts highlighting 47% of workforce cannot afford to purchase homes in Franklin
Alternative option discussed: convert all 10 affordable units to workforce would reduce subsidy from $3.5M to under $3M but would lose $600,000 CDBG funding
Project team already spent approximately $150,000 on plans and design work over 5-6 years of development
Development named "Busque Place" after Brandt Busque who championed the project

City Hall commercial tenant selection criteria

Three potential tenant spaces along Third Avenue South between City Hall and new public park totaling approximately 4,500 gross square feet
Two outer spaces slightly larger than middle space, outer two can accommodate full kitchens, middle space limited kitchen
City plans to issue RFQ for licensed commercial brokerage firm and property manager starting next week through end of year, return in spring with recommendations
Broker will market spaces, collect letters of interest, conduct financial vetting, and present tenant mix to board for approval based on criteria
Draft tenant criteria emphasizes: engaging spaces complementing historic downtown and park, activating Third Avenue streetscape, serving residential neighborhoods and city hall uses, locally owned businesses, continuous daytime activity avoiding hours past 10pm, no alcohol/smoke/vape product sales
2022 market analysis by Gibbs Planning Group identified potential uses: small gourmet market, bookstore, florist, bakery, coffee shop, specialty foods, boutique pharmacy, 2-4 small restaurants
Board feedback strongly emphasized local ownership over chains, fast-casual dining or sandwich shops that complement park use without competing with existing downtown businesses
Alderman suggested surveying downtown residents, CVB, merchants, hotel, courthouse workers, and city staff to identify missing services
Vice Mayor stressed using spaces to support local tenants being squeezed out of Main Street, avoiding "mall-like" tenancy, and potentially creative solutions for smaller local businesses
Alderman Brown noted DNA survey less than 3 years old showed NY Deli as top response for desired tenant type

City Hall block redevelopment update

New building: 97,000 square feet, three stories, underground parking garage with approximately 200 spaces

City using reimbursement resolution approved in May to account for City Hall expenses until bond close in February

Hobas pipe emergency repair and funding

Emergency repair required for 48-inch FRP Hobas pipe at Ewingville Drive with change order to Garney Construction for $1,452,381.52
Timeline of Hobas failures: June 2014 first break (230 feet near Pinkerton Park, attributed to underground spring), 2017 major failure behind Chestnut Bend (lined pipe under river, replaced most with ductile iron toward wastewater plant), fall 2024 Chestnut Bend sinkhole (neoprene boot failure at manhole), April 2025 Ewingville sinkhole discovered
Ewingville project replacing colored sections showing various damage: longitudinal cracks allowing groundwater intrusion, vertical cracks, complete soil infiltration
Pipe deflection measurements from 2018 report showed 18-20% deflection in some areas vs. Hobas-allowed 5%, making sections unlineable
Project expanded from spot repairs to replacing all damaged sections totaling approximately 300 feet additional pipe beyond original scope
Chestnut Bend repair completed, some restoration work remaining (seeding dependent on weather), will return in spring for additional seeding
Ewingville construction in progress with 30-foot deep excavation in Cromwell cornfield area, completion expected June 2026
Total project costs: bypass pumping incurred to date approximately $400,000, costs to be incurred through completion approximately $150,000-200,000 range, temporary construction easements secured from 5 property owners (Storbridge neighborhood properties plus Cromwell cornfield)
Change Order 1 (current board item): $1,452,381.52 for additional 300 feet of pipe replacement and reclaim bypass setup through March
Change Order 2 (expected January board meeting): transfer of bypass pumping costs to Garney, establish project completion deadline with liquidated damages provision
Garney providing credits: reducing Chestnut Bend manhole repair cost by half (from $225,000 to $112,500), providing 3 weeks free bypass pumping, second manhole repair for free due to delays and errors in Chestnut Bend work
Reclaim water system bypass established to serve Berry Farms during construction, may shut down during wet season and restart March/April depending on weather and rental costs
Total estimated project cost range $7-8M funded through: budgetary savings from sewer operating fund (CIPP and routine replacement/repair funds), $479,700 payment from General Fund for Pearl Park land ownership transfer to Parks, $7M from sewer fund balance (analysis shows can stay above state required minimum reserves and MTAS recommendations)
City to perform cost of service analysis and rate study after Ewingville completion to ensure revenue sufficient for broader Hobas replacement strategy and maintain debt service coverage
Next phase: evaluation and prioritization of remaining Hobas pipe in system to determine what can be lined vs. requires excavation and replacement, maximize CIPP lining as cost-effective strategy

Infrastructure development district policy

Board reviewed draft policy framework establishing procedures for considering petitions to create real estate infrastructure development districts
Policy focuses on 4 priority pillars for community benefit: exceptional development, infrastructure development, attainable housing, and redevelopment
Process requires developers to submit notice of intent (5-page form mirroring tax increment financing requirements) followed by draft petition
60-day maximum period for staff and developer to work through notice of intent and draft petition before developer can file formal petition
After petition filed, city posts notice on website, developer notifies residents by mail, public hearing held at regular Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting (estimated 1-5 month timeline from start to approval)
Policy establishes 3:1 value-to-lien ratio as strong preference vs. 2:1 state minimum, with flexibility built in (not rigid requirement)
Special assessment bonds issued through conduit issuer (not city directly) to protect AAA credit rating, no general obligation pledge from city
Financing team (through conduit issuer) includes separate bond counsel, financial advisor, underwriter, and trustee handling special assessment revenues
Policy allows both reimbursement bonds (after infrastructure approved) and construction bonds (upfront), though reimbursement preferred
Municipal benefit guidelines attached as Exhibit D with sample commitments across 4 categories, not rigid checklist
Staff recommendation threshold: at least one category meets "full credit" level, one additional category at least partially addressed
All units in districts will be deed restricted in perpetuity to maintain intended use/affordability
Transparency requirements: annual reporting to board on district progress, notice of district creation filed with Williamson County Register of Deeds
Administrative fees up to 5% of special assessment revenues to cover city costs
Policy allows board flexibility to amend or waive provisions by resolution when approving specific districts
Board raised significant concerns policy is over-engineered and too bureaucratic, may discourage developer participation
Alderman Brown emphasized: tool should be market-driven like Texas model, not tied so closely to zoning/final site plans, reimbursement-only preference favors large cash-rich developers over local developers, concerned about staff recommendation creating conflict with board priorities
Vice Mayor Baggett emphasized: wants stringent criteria as starting point with understanding board can waive, concerned about requests that simply finance normal impact fees and infrastructure without real public benefit, wants two-acre school site example balanced against IDD funding amount
Alderman Barnhill expressed concern about tying too closely to final development plans, kills negotiation opportunity to influence project design
Alderman Potts emphasized maintaining conservative 3:1 ratio focus for long-term AAA bond rating protection
Alderman Caesar stressed need to avoid acceleration of growth, ensure this funds things beyond minimum requirements, acknowledged development community sees this as "financial bonanza" requiring real public benefit in return
Multiple aldermen emphasized cannot be just impact fee financing tool, must deliver extraordinary community benefit
Critical blocker identified: city not yet "host municipality" under state law because no agreement with Williamson County for collecting special assessments, County Trustee needs software upgrade
County Trustee attorney raised potential issue requiring legislative cleanup bill that could delay implementation
County attorney wants separate interlocal agreement for special assessment collection between city and county
Board directed staff to prioritize confirming county will support interlocal agreement before spending more time on policy development
Item will return to board work session December 9th for continued discussion with more time allocated on lighter agenda
Board requested new City Hall tenant addresses (299 Public Square) not be printed on materials until closer to building opening

AI Summary

Overview

Board deferred the controversial Columbia Avenue overlay district zoning amendment to January 13th, 2026 after procedural issues emerged around 21-day public notice requirements and fundamental disagreements over requiring a development plan
HG Hill Company strongly opposed the amendment requiring development plan approval, stating they will not agree to rezoning their property and may withdraw if forced into that process
Board approved $1,452,381.52 change order for emergency 48-inch fiberglass reinforced pipe repair on Unionville Drive
Board approved legal representation contract for PFAS class action lawsuit on contingency fee basis
December community events scheduled: tree lighting December 5th starting at 6:00 pm (ceremony at 6:40 pm, tree lights at 7:15 pm) and Christmas parade December 6th at 1:00 pm

Columbia Avenue overlay district zoning amendment

Board deferred ordinance 2025-2075 to January 13th, 2026 due to public notice requirements after amendment was made at previous meeting
City attorney explained the amendment added at last meeting requires another public hearing with 21-day advance notice, which cannot be met before the December 9th meeting
Amendment would go back to Planning Commission in December before returning to board for final action in January
Jimmy Granberry of HG Hill Company strongly objected to the amendment:
- Hill Company has been in Tennessee for 130 years (started 1895), Granberry represents 4th generation
- Company spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on planning and drawings with local architect Mike Hathaway
- Received unanimous approval from Board of Zoning Appeals to relocate hotel off back of property
- Received unanimous approval from Planning Commission after making requested changes (reducing hotel to three stories, adding 10-foot step back on third floor along Columbia Avenue)
- Development plan requirement was never discussed during year-long planning process
- Respectfully requested board remove any amendment requiring property rezoning or development plan
Attorney John Cooper (Holland and Knight) argued the amendment is not consistent with Tennessee law:
- Amendment singles out one property and is arbitrary and unfair to developer
- Would require rezoning to planned development district, adding months of delay and jeopardizing project viability
- Developer followed all required processes and received unanimous approvals
Alderman Baggett explained rationale for initiating the amendment:
- Applicant asked Planning Commission to recommend BOMA change zoning ordinance rather than going through PD rezoning process
- BOMA controls the zoning ordinance, not Planning Commission
- Referenced concerns from residents about heights and development on Folk Street side
- Cited precedent from margin district where promises about preserving Handy Hardware weren't kept (facade remains but building is gone)
- Emphasized this is BOMA's job to set zoning ordinance while Planning Commission sets Envision Franklin
- Development plan would provide what the board wants while just changing zoning ordinance provides no guarantees
Planning staff clarified that reverting to current two-story limit would not allow three stories even through development plan process because Columbia Avenue overlay rules override PD district zoning
Margin district received three-and-a-half stories through same process: Envision Franklin amendment followed by zoning ordinance change to allow by-right development
Current zoning ordinance change is specifically for this property to match the Envision Franklin Plan Amendment from September Planning Commission meeting
Development plan process would include joint conceptual workshop, neighborhood meeting for adjacent property owners, and much more public input
Granberry stated clearly that if board requires development plan/rezoning route, Hill Company will withdraw rather than agree to rezoning
Motion to defer passed 6-2 (Aldermen Barnhill and Peterson voted no)

Upcoming December city events

Christmas tree lighting event December 5th at 6:00 pm with formal ceremony starting at 6:40 pm and tree lighting at 7:15 pm

Special work session scheduled December 5th for board members to experience downtown trolley service
