City Council - Regular Meeting

I am starting the Tennessee City Council Yoke on September 1, 2026. Mary Lee, can you give me a name?

Sure, sir. Frye Robbins. Yes. Graham.

Yes.

Pavels. Yes. Accord. Yes. Turner. Yes.

Thank you all for participating in this event. There are two opportunities to discuss urban issues in this event. First, I would like to invite you to speak about a general statement. I will let you know when this opportunity will open. If your opinions are related to that topic, please speak at that time. You do not have to register your name in advance. Second, it is an opportunity for citizens to speak. If you have anything else to talk about in the city, you will get a sign-up sheet here. Now, I would like to express my gratitude to Police Chief Matt Austin for leading us in our prayers and prayers. Let us pray. Father God, we thank you for this day. Thank you for all the blessings you give us every day. Lord, we thank you for the victory you gave us through your son's sacrifice. We are here today to work for this city. We want to make this city clear that we need to discuss things that are necessary for everyone's dreams and peace. We want to make this council clear that we need to listen, discuss, and work for the good of the entire community for our own interests. Lord, we are not afraid to praise and honor you. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. I pray that America will show its strength to the people of the United States. I pray to this republic that gives freedom and justice to all who are not subject to God's control. Thank you. Mr. Schlegel, do you have anything new to add today? Mayor, nothing. Okay. First of all, we have three announcements this evening. The first one is for Child Passenger Safety Week. Give a seatbelt for life. From September 20 to 26, in the year 2026, we are announcing that Child Passenger Safety Week is a travel safety week for children. This announcement will be read by Councilwoman Fire Robin, Fire Captain Steve Hicks and Police Officer J.C. Magre and A2AM

I'm happy to read it, but I don't have a copy of it. Here it is. It's not in it. It's not in our agenda. I don't know if it's a mistake, but I don't need it. It's not in my digital agenda. Who is buying it? They can come forward. I will immediately join you. Okay. Thank you. Our children are our destiny. It is the responsibility of the rescuers and parents to protect American children safely. According to Tennessee Child Reign, all children under the age of 8 and below should be safe in the car seat or booster seat. According to the National Highway Safety Administration, 1,27,000 children have been affected by car accidents in 2024. According to the National Digital Car Seat Checkup Home Database, 73.7% of car seats tested by Child Passenger Safety Technicians in 2025 were installed incorrectly. Installing and using Seatbelts will help to reduce the chances of child safety seats from 71 to 82% rather than using only seatbelts. Instructions say that booster seats will be able to reduce the chances of child safety seats from 4 to 8 years old to 45%. Children under the age of 13 and below should always make sure that they are safe in the pin seat. Also, do not place child seats in the front seat of vehicles with airbags in the back. A car seat test can be done to make sure that they are in comfortable seats for the age and size of the children. This ensures the safety of the children on the journey. Bristol encourages Tennessee residents and parents to take safety precautions while traveling with their children. Bristol is a proud sponsor of Tennessee City. Bristol is a proud sponsor of Tennessee City. Therefore, on September 20-26, Bristol Mayor will announce Child Passenger Safety Week and Bristol Mayor will announce Seat Check Saturday on September 26, 2021. On each journey, we urge all passengers to always wear seat belts and reduce the risk of injuries to all passengers. Hello, I am Magro, an officer from Bristol, Tennessee Police Department. Um, I have a few words to say. Um, thank you to our CET Council, Um. Um, for giving us this information. Um, we are very excited to continue to ensure the safety of our children and others in our community, Um. We, the police department and the fire department, see the safety of our children in our community with great respect. I would like to add that the police station, fire station, and most of the shifts have been provided with the necessary facilities. If you need any kind of installation or to ensure the safety of your child, you can contact us at the Police Department or the Fire Department. Or you can call us at our non-emergency number. We will ensure that the child is safe. And then... We encourage everyone with small children to come and check your seats at any time. So, thank you very much. I really appreciate it and wish you all the best. Thank you. Very much. Okay, next, there is a speech that will be announced as the month of the Self-Defence Awareness Month.

Vice Mayor Pavelsu will read the speech. North East Regional Director of Tennessee's Suicide Prevention Network, Ms. Corrie Johnson, will present her speech.

Thank you, Mayor. Suicide is a great tragedy. It is one of the most devastating and devastating incidents that a family and society can experience. Each year, more than 1,200 lives are lost in Tennessee. In addition, there are about 25 suicides in each suicide. Of the 11 suicides in Tennessee, 10-24 are the 3rd major and 35-44 are the 4th major. It is also the 8th major cause of death among people aged 45 to 54. Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee Legislative Assembly have declared suicide resistance a state of emergency. In 1988, suicide and crisis lifeline victims suffered 24 by 7 suicides and suicide attacks. The resistance and resistance groups for you and your loved ones are in this. There are many ways for professionals in America. The Tenancy Suicide Prevention Strategy has been approved by the Suicide Prevention Network Advisory Council. The Tenancy Suicide Prevention Network, or TSP, is a group of Tenancy residents and organizations that work to reduce suicide rates in our country by raising awareness about suicide, and raising awareness about suicide. TSP and all Tennessee residents are working hard to become partners in preventing suicide as a way to save lives. We will learn about the possibilities and advancements, talk about suicide in a safe way and encourage everyone to seek help. We will share the benefits we have gained and will contribute to preventing suicide. We urge all Tennessee residents to find time to seek help from their families, friends, and relatives. A simple phone call, a message, a letter, or a greeting can help you realize that suicide is not a crime. That's why Tennessee's Bristol Mayor announced a month of awareness on suicide prevention in September 2026. From September 1, 2026, we urge all of us to spread compassion and awareness to all those affected by this disease and to prevent suicide. Thank you very much to the council members, Vice Mayor Pavelsan and Mayor Turner for supporting PSPN. This announcement has been received from Bristol City for many years. We appreciate your efforts and support. Let me take a few notes, then I will not leave things. As Vice Mayor Pavelsu suggested, according to our latest statistics, more than 1200 Tennessee residents commit suicide each year. For the past few years, this is a normal number. We have seen a lot of progress. We have carried out various activities that help people to open up about difficult things. We know that suicide is not an exception. This affects people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and financial situations. We also know that suicide is a death that can be prevented altogether. Those who have experienced suicide have often told the public that they did not have the desire to die. They were suffering from some pain or problems that they felt they could not die. If we know that suicide is happening around us and if we understand that assistance is available, changes can be made. The 1988 suicide prevention helpline operating in Johnson City's Taning Point Crisis Walk-in Center is helping this. This is a great achievement. If we continue to raise awareness about the available assistance, we will know that we can save lives. As she suggested, I am the North East Regional Director of Tennessee Suicide Prevention League. Therefore, I have been given the opportunity to operate in eight counties in northern Tennessee. Our mission at EPSPN is to reduce the number of suicides, deaths, and suicide attempts related to suicide over the past 25 years. We help in the process of postvention, which leads to suicide, families, communities, and schools. I would like to thank all of you for accepting this month of September as a month of self-defense awareness. I would like to thank all of you for supporting our activities in Tennessee. I would like to thank all of you for accepting this month of September as a month of self-defense awareness. A small expectation will bring a big change when someone tries. As they said, it's not a small thing to tie a person, to lock him up, to make a phone call, or to ask how he is today. It might be a small thing, but it saves a person's life. Thank you again to everyone. I thank everyone for coming here. Thank you. Finally, there is an announcement called National Senior Center Month.

Councilwoman Grahame will read the speech. Parks and Recreation Programme Dennis Bone will accept the speech. Thank you, Mayor. Proud citizens are valuable members of our society. Their wisdom, experience, skills, and events make the life of the citizens of Bristol, and all other parts of the country, better. Not only the places where senior centres meet, They are energy-saving community centers. They allow older citizens to be active, stay in touch, engage, and be free. The Slater Community Center operates for people over the age of 50 in Bristol and surrounding communities. It is a welcoming environment that encourages health and vitality. The Slater Community Centre makes it possible for seniors to be physically, mentally and socially alive. It helps to establish new friendships, to learn new skills, to find new interests, and to establish a relationship with the community. Senior centres ensure the safety, self-confidence and freedom of seniors. It is possible by accepting their experiences, skills, knowledge, and continuous events in the society in which they live. In September, the Senior Centre Massage will be held in the name of the Slater Community Centre Discover Your Senior Centre. This month, it is possible to participate in and share the activities of the Centre with the members of the NILA. That is why Bristol, Tennessee Mayor announced the year of the Senior Centre in Bristol in September, 2026. To recognize the achievements of the previous generations, the members of the Slater Community Centre, volunteers, and volunteers to appreciate the services of the Pangalas. We are working together to ensure the well-being and well-being of the poor people of our society. Mayor Vince Turner has agreed

Namaskaram. Thank you very much for the donation to our senior center. We are very grateful for your donation. It makes our job very easy. We would like to reach out to as many people as possible in our community. They are an important part of our community. This month, through supporting them, we hope that we can show how important they are to our community. This month, we have provided you with many opportunities. We welcome those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, those who don't know about us, So, thank you all for building such a community. So, thank you.

Okay, there are no other announcements tonight. Next is the report of the Board of Education. Doctor, Tudor,

Good evening to everyone. I am happy to see all of you. I feel a little old. I did not realize that I am an old man. I am 50 years old. So I have to go to Slater Center. I would like to thank everyone for accepting the Self-Defense Awareness Month through a celebration. As you all know, the mental health of our students is one of our main priorities. To fulfill the mental health needs of our students, we cooperate with Frontier Health and other agencies. As you know, we have therapy leaders. So this year we got the fourth therapy leader. He is our first leader. He started at Fairmount at the beginning of the school year. We are now in the process of getting the 5th therapy dog, which will be sent to Holston View. Therefore, it is expected that this will happen in the wintertime and they will get a dog in the wintertime. When talking about therapy dogs, I would like to inform you about some important facts. First, before the September 18th VET game, we are giving our therapy dogs. This year, Tennessee High School is hosting that game for the first time. That is on September 18th. Last year, when Virginia held a pep rally in Cumberland Park, we are now holding a community pep rally. We are organizing a pep rally with the help of the city. We thank Anderson Park for that. It will be held from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. on September 17, Sunday. This is organized by the Defense Association of Tennessee High School called Vikings United. I would like to inform you about the homecoming celebration of Haynesfield Elementary School. This year marks the 100th anniversary of their establishment. Hence, we are very excited for the 100th anniversary of the Hainesfield Elementary School. It will take place from 1 am to 3 pm on the same day of September 19th. It will be an opportunity to celebrate the three students and the students of this school, and to share their experiences and experiences in Hainesfield. Thank you very much. Thank you.

There is a general hearing in today's agenda. The budget is based on funds from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. The general hearing starts now. Our Director of Finance, Holly Warren, will present it.

Mayorkum CET Council Angangalkum Shubha Sayanam. Today's general hearing is for Ordinance 2614, which defines the budget for the year 2027. It was held in the first meeting in August. Today is the general hearing. The general fund is expected to increase to $ 4.899,297. This is an increase of $ 22,518. This is obtained from the fund balance. Capital Equipment Fund is expected to rise to $26,26,813. This is an investment of $40,413 for an investment. It will be transferred from the General Fund to be invested in capital projects. Thus, it will rise to $4,24,413. The capital facilities fund is expected to be raised to $4,28,24,500. That is an increase of $2,70,000. This is to be used for the maintenance of the National Sanitation Center. The police have also agreed to the amount of money for the fund. It will be transferred to the capital facilities fund for those costs. Okay. Then this will be included in the agenda in the second reading of the PIN. Okay.

Thank you. Does anyone want to speak to the council about this matter? Since no one is here, this hearing is now over. Next is the response of the participants. This is an opportunity to speak about anything that is not included in the public hearing. We had a sign-up sheet. The only person in it was Dennis O'Berry.

Thank you. Namaskaram. My name is Dennis Obery. I live on Broad Street in 2004. I also live on Steep and Hare. We are trying to avoid the crossroads between Broad and Anderson, which are connected to the 24th street. We own both Broad Street and Anderson Street. There are two main reasons why we are doing this. First of all, there is a huge problem with the crime and the authorities. The last crime took place on June 20th. We have had many crimes and other incidents of crime. We are very grateful to the Bristol Police Department. They are taking good care of us. The other thing is that our Broad Street property and Anderson Street property are in harmony with each other. That is what we want. That is our main goal. So, thank you for presenting this tonight. Thank you for your time. Okay. Thank you.

Does anyone else want to speak to the council? Okay. We have a rule this evening. This is the Industrial Development Board. We have an employee in one place. Ms. Nancy Cook, is there anyone who would like to speak for Ms. Cook?

We can both speak. Start. You speak first. Ms. Nancy has been working on the Industrial Development Board for a while now.

They are always well-informed and are very familiar with the Industrial Development Board. So that's why I'm following Nancy Cook this evening. Yes, that's all I have to say. I've worked with Nancy on many things. I'm very happy to have her on our industrial development board. She's a retired civil-military employee. I think she's working hard to get the most out of her job. I look after Tommy. She looks after all the materials and agendas that come out. Councilwoman Firestone has Nancy Cook.

Vice Mayor Pavels has Nancy Cookiney. Councilman Graham has Nancy Cookiney. Councilwoman Accard has Nancy Cookiney. Mayor Turner has Nancy Cookiney. Thank you. Next, the ordinance between Anderson Street and Broad Street will be passed from 26 to 15 today. Planning Service Director Mr. Rose-Peters will present this. Thank you, Mayor Turner. Good evening to everyone. Today, for the first time, we are celebrating this event on the 24th Street between Broad Street and Anderson Street. As you can see on the screen map, the area is covered in red. On August 17, our Planning Commission was celebrating this event as a celebration. Steepan Harel and Dennis Overbeam, who are local experts, have developed this equipment. I have prepared some photos on the screen in front of you. This is an aerial drone shot. It shows the area there. What you see in red is the part that is formed in between. This is the end of Hensley Street on the right side of the screen. This is a picture taken from 24th Street. You can see the unnamed intersection highlighted in red. This is an illustration of what it would look like from 24th Street. Some photos taken from the middle of the road behind Broad Street, the trees and leaves there, and the area in this photograph can also be seen in this photo. As part of any photograph to be used as a right-of-way, the staff inspects various places. A place with a lot of zoning. The area we are exploring today lies in those two zones. There are 26 plots along this road. So, according to this data, the designated users are suitable for the zoning and nearby properties of that area. If we talk about the land area, we can see that this is part of the second section of the old Delany Addition in Bristol from 1930 onwards. As in the pictures shown earlier, there is a mix of various objects, sunsets, and natural disasters associated with it. We also inspect the underground facilities. We have not found any property or residential facilities in the city due to the use of this route. The fire hydrants shown on the screen, sidewalks, or any other physical facilities that could be made there have not been found there. Utilities are also under investigation. Gas lines, power lines, cable lines, telephone lines, and so on. We send letters to all the local utility companies to find out where they are. But the utility companies said there was nothing there. So, since there are no underground facilities there, there is no need to build utility facilities. When we receive such messages, we inform them publicly and inform them through letters sent to us. We received five feedback letters from those who sent us letters. We also received two letters on this subject that were neither positive nor negative. In addition, we received a phone call. On August 26, 2017, before the Planning Commission took a decision to use this route for the next two votes, the Planning Commission agreed with the Council to complete the route. These are the next steps of this initiative. Does anyone have anything to ask Mr. Peterson? I do. Do you think Daniel can help in this? What is the responsibility of the city in these roads full of trees? Does the city have any responsibility if the trees on these roads full of trees and forests fall on anyone?

That is a complicated question. It depends on the details of the case that we are facing. So, I don't want to answer the question whether this is the case or not without a case in front of us. Okay. In that case, the possibility of implementing the law is always there.

Let me tell you something that I personally experienced.

There was an unincorporated place in one of my apartments. There was a dried tree there. When I called, they came and removed it. In such incidents, I think we have to take the lead and take care of it. Especially if people are staying there, if the trees are dried, they should be removed. Certainly, this is decided according to each incident. There are problems in such roads where trees are not mowed or named. So it has to be examined one by one. According to our laws, our people can remove as many trees as they want. I welcome the instructions of the Planning Commission.

It is clear that this is one of the closed doors. But the time of the living is a lot to do such things. There are concerns about the future of many places. If the war is going on, it is not good to wait until the war is over. It will be more clear for us to complete the work we are doing rather than our lives. So I am following the instructions of the Planning Commission. That is, wait until the work on the roads is completed. So far, I don't think the decision will be made on the matter of other roads. Is that a mic or did they vote to wait? 6 against 2 votes.

The intention was to wait until the procession about the crossroads was completed. Yes. That is the difficult decision.

So, when you agreed to it, I think this is the main thing.

This crossroads procession that we are conducting will be a continuation. Even if the decision is made to use this corridor after the flight, we will have to follow the instructions given in the houses on the other side of the corridor. Then, what is it?

About the pictures they took. Please forgive me. Yes. The pictures and details there will be helpful.

Rose, I have two questions about this. And... Please forgive me. About the aerial view that you showed that the tunnel ends quickly. Yes. Why does this end so quickly? And when you look at this, is there any way to open this as a gateway through this? Yes, it was from the Delaney subdivision plan in 1930 that we were able to understand that this tunnel existed. According to the rules of the day, there was a cross street known as Hunsley Street. It was a cross street where a block was cut down and a platform was added to it. In any case, can you show me the aerial view of that area? Certainly. If there is no objection, thank you, sir. That's it. Hunsley Street, seen on the right side of the screen, continued to the left from the top of that red line to the left. It was actually planned in 1930 in the subdivision plan. For some reason, that street was not completed or built. A house is being built there now. If that street had been built, it would have been connected to the 24th Street and now called Hounsley Street. But that did not happen. That's why that road ends in the middle of the block. That's because it's not connected to any other street. Do you think we can use this road for anything? It's possible if we do some hitchhiking and hiking. But when you look at the opportunities there, it is a great thing to make it useful. What is the purpose of the city by cleaning up this mess? What is the benefit of the city in this? I am not sure about the city. This will be beneficial for the neighbors, because now they will have access to the backyard of their house. That will be the biggest advantage of this. But everyone who has responded has said that they will allow it to be closed. Yes, we have received five responses for the closure. Yes.

So I can see three points. Firstly, because Hunsley Street is not complete, it ends as a dark dead end. So it is important to make it more useful and to make it completely clean. Because there are possibilities of problems there. That's why we have a dead-end road, and we have taken care of it. What I have to say to the Planning Commission is that if we are not interested in hearing or seeing anything about the roads, we have to make a moratorium until the road is completed, or these problems will continue. But let's go back to my point. Hensley Street is not a narrow road. It is a forest and a bed, and it can be seen as a burden. and trees fall in my experience, then the person who is the owner of that place will be responsible for it. Then the third thing is that we have the residents who are allowed to use the sidewalk. So I am ready to vote to use this sidewalk in this situation. If we have to postpone this process until the process is completed, we have to submit the Shubharsha Planning Commission for the reasons and methods for this under the supervision of the people. But because of that, I am going to postpone this process. Will anyone promise to take action from Ordinance 26 to 15?

I declare a motion to approve Ordinance 26-15. Is this a second motion? Yes. We have a motion and we have a second motion for it. Is there any need for further discussion? If I want, I can declare it as a separate matter.

But I would like to declare a moratorium motion for the Planning Division. Can you explain to us what a vote means and what a vote means? It will be about voting.

Is that what we're talking about?

That's the reason why you said it first. I just wanted to make it clear.

Okay. So, we have a second proposal. More discussions. Mary Lee.

Fire Robin. Yes. Grahami.

Yes.

Pavels. Yes. Aker. Yes. Turner.

Yes. Okay. There is an Ordinance on the 2nd of this month. The Ordinance is on the basis of the budget for funds from July 1 to July 30. This was announced in a public hearing earlier. In this matter, Miss, do you have any questions for Farhan? Is there anyone who would like to accept Ordinance 26 to 14? Resolution 26 to 14 is acceptable. Is there a second amendment?

Second.

Is there a second amendment and more discussions?

Like Holly Chundi said, I think we need to pay attention to the fact that the waste collected from the Animal Protection Centre is from the Police Fund. Yes. So, this is not money taken from the General Fund. I would like to make sure that the public understands that the waste collected from the Police Fund is from the Police Fund.

Okay. Mary Lee.

Farrobin. Yes. Graham. Yes. Pavels. Yes. Aker. Yes. Turner.

Yes. Okay. I have two proposals to make this evening. Proposal 26-134, for the Surface Transportation Block Grant as a Tennessee Department of Transportation grant. Mr. Megaloosa will tell you about this. What was that? Megaloosa, Megaloosa. Okay, forgive me. Thank you. No problem. No problem. But thank you. I knew it. But I was wrong when I said it. Okay, thank you for allowing me to come here again. We have so many methods. I am happy to talk about this method. That is, we have received $5,09,152 as per the surface transportation block grant we received. We have taken action. There are some recent reports on this. In March 2024, there were some general complaints about the security issues that occurred when 394 people were trying to enter Beaver Creek Road. This happened with the completion of the third phase of the Fox Meadows development. As many people began to live there, it has become more common to enter the highway safely. This method is in line with our long-term planning plan. In addition, this tip has been included in our active tip. So, if we say so, we were able to get this grant. We have $54,000 in our budget for the 27th fiscal year of the month. This will help us in the planning of the plan, and for the plan to move forward, we have to allocate $73,288 more in the budget for the 28th fiscal year. As part of the 3.66 acres of land added to Beaver Creek Road, the next approved construction plan is included. A traffic light has to be installed there. We will be able to complete it through this plan. Isn't that a great achievement? Finally, let me say that this is an ambitious plan. The Prime Minister has the right to be in office in this seat, so we can move forward in this way. Any questions?

I think what I read in the newspaper today is a good thing, as my husband said. But the question is, how long will it take for things to get approval and money to be found, and how long will it take for jobs and engineering things to happen? We can be happy about this, but it will take another year and a half to see the light in that junction, right? That can happen.

There is always a desire to live according to the constitution. But what do we see? There is a constant desire to stay in those offices. That is a good sign. We can understand that the plan is not in order. However, I would like to do it as soon as possible. Okay, okay, okay. Thank you. Do you have any instructions to accept the agreement from 26 to 134? I do. I agree. I agree and agree. Is there any discussion in the mail? Mary Lee. Fire Robin. Yes. Graham. Yes. Paves. Yes. Aakar. Yes. Turner. Yes. Next, from 26 to 135, the City Board and other agencies will have a CET Council. This will be announced by our CET Manager, Matt Slay. Thank you, Mayor Turner. There was a small mistake in the announcement. As of 26,135, the CET Council has decided to assign members to various city boards and agencies. Therefore, Bristol and the City of Tennessee are implementing these regulations. The Planning Commission will include Lee Pavels and Vince Turner.

We have a motion.

Do you have a discussion? Mary Lee. For Robin. Yes. Graham. Yes. Powers. Yes. Aker. Yes. Tyler. Do you have anything to add? I wanted to welcome Mr.Graham to the council. We thought this was his first official job. He was in a work session. That's why we had to do this. Second council. Oh, I lost everything. Yes, I saw that. I wanted to welcome you back to CT Hall. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that.

Do you have a request? I have a request. I have received a request and a request for it. Mary Lee.

Wal Robin. Yes. Graham.

Yes.

Pavels. Yes. Hacker. Yes. Turner.

Yes. Okay. Next, let's go to the report of the CET manager. Thank you, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council members. I use this opportunity to thank the request I received for the last month, the proposal, our council, the people, and the community. One thing is very clear. Bristow is a group of people who can think deeply about this society. When we move forward, I would like to pay attention to the fact that we should encourage those people, support them when they are in trouble, be responsible, and serve our citizens well. We have a lot of jobs, but I am very eager to improve Bristol's strength in those jobs. The agenda is set for September. So, there are some events to come. Pepperfest September 5th. Certainly, we have rhythm and routes from September 11th to 13th. With the help of our CET schools, community varsity begins from September 17th. We are waiting for that. Bristol Motor Speedway Race Weekend from September 17th to 19th. Bristol Sessions Night from September 18th from 7am to 9pm. On September 12, our Dayal Enhart Youth Sports NFL flag football games will take place. They will start on that day. Doctor, like tutor warned, on September 17, our home game paper rally and Bristol big screen night will also take place. We hope that the rain won't stop this time. We are waiting for that. Thanks for your participation as our school's representative. The movie will be shown at 8 am for 15 minutes. Finally, don't forget about the Farmers Market, which runs from 2 am to 6 am every Wednesday. With the information about the Farmers Market, We would like to share some information about Bristol Trolley Service with you in the next episode. So, a consultant team will hold pop-up events at Farmers Market and Country Music Birthplace. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Next, CET Council Opinions. I have one. Councilman Graham has an announcement for you. Are you interested in reading the announcement for the 95th anniversary of Paramount? Certainly. I am happy. Last Saturday night, Paramount celebrated its 95th anniversary. You have made a very special announcement. I am about to deliver it. I will submit it to the Executive Board this week. This is a phenomenon that represents the 95th anniversary of the Parma Mount Bristol. Paramount Bristol opened its doors for the first time on February 20, 1931 with the film It Pays to Advertise. It was in front of a large crowd of people waiting to see the beautiful interior of the theatre. Also, from the beginning of it, Paramount stood as Bristol's cultural centre. by making it part of the artistic and social life of the region through films, stage performances and community gatherings. The unique art deco reality of Paramaundi, the precious landmarks, and the contemporary images were combined into one of the most historically important landmarks in Bristol. After the collapse of the business establishments in the city in 1979, the theatre was closed. After being closed for a decade, community leaders and others showed interest in preserving and revitalizing this historical temple. In addition, the reconstruction of the theater was celebrated on April 26 with an audio show, and there was a special performance of Tennessee Annie Ford, the son of Bristol. The reconstruction and renovation of this historic theater has been an inspiration for more security activities for residents and visitors of Bristol as well as for visitors. Today, Paaram Mount Bristol is a major art centre that celebrates music, films, plays, educational activities, arts, welcomes local artists, welcomes national artists, and attracts local fans. It represents the unparalleled responsibility of Bristol for the success, culture, history, energy-saving social life of Paramount. So, for the 95th anniversary, Bristol is determined to contribute to the cultural, historical, and financial well-being of the city of Tennessee and to ensure the well-being of its residents and residents of the coming generations. On August 29, Bristol's Tennessee Mayor, Vance Turner, agreed. Thank you, sir.

Let me start by saying that there is a beautiful film about the history of Paramount near our Community Relations Department. A lot of people from our community have been involved in this. Some of them started it through the theater Bristol. When the amount of money was lost, people and the community took the money and gave it to the state. So, after 95 years, we are very happy. Therefore, I would like to thank our new CET Manager, Mart Sligo, for coming to see us one week before joining the job. It was a great decision. That means thank you, Brian. Brian left. There were no changes to the jobs for Dayanand. You were able to interact with people from various fields. I think this is definitely beneficial for you and our staff. Therefore, I am grateful to you for finding such an opportunity and time. I thank you for doing so. Also, if it is possible for a moratorium to be imposed on the parties that are going to discuss the planning commission, I think it will either return to us or get the report of the discussion. We have received a grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office through the partnership with Appalachian Promise Alliance on car seat safety. We received a new grant from the Virginia Highway Safety Office. We took part in a conference on careless driving. We are going for the second time. We had gone last year. We went again this year. We were able to learn a lot of things. We learn a lot from the presentations we give. About 50% of the deaths of migrants are due to the lack of seat belts in the car. I got to know about a mother who lost her son because of child abuse from a group in Virginia that works in this field. They were able to pass the seatbelt law in Pennsylvania, but unfortunately there is no such law in Tennessee. So I think it would be good if we could all support this in our legislature. Let's see if that's possible. Next, I would like to thank our police department. Last week, to be precise, on Justice Day in Bristol, Virginia, there was a riot. As part of the family promise, we are running a day center in the Salvation Army. Hundreds of people without homes come there every day for service. The biggest service we provide is case management. That is, help them come back to life and find a home. One of the victims, A Place to Be, was present at the day centre. Monica Tucker, from our police department, is also a member of the crisis team of Frontier Health. Those who knew and loved the woman who had died, were there to support them. In addition, they came to help our people and volunteers to survive in this situation. We are very grateful to our police department for such services. Thank you for everything you do. Let me remind you that two officers are working on this service every week for seven days. I think this is very helpful to all our workers. I would like to say one more thing in a national way. It is time to make a decision now. I am being asked if I can send a letter or email by informing the residents about the signboards. I am very uncomfortable to see them in the road. They should be informed of the problems caused by putting signboards in the road. If we take it back, we can get it back from the garage. But there are specific reasons why it should not be in the rotary. I would like to do that. Then there is one more thing to say. I know that a lot of things are happening related to the election. But I have to say that our election commission is working in the best way. I believe that all of us are thinking the same way. Not only are they afraid, but I believe that the election officials in our states and counties are very proud of the election and are doing their best to protect our voter rights. Farmers Market is very popular in Wednesdays. If you haven't seen Arnold in Mountain City, he will be there with beautiful vegetables on Wednesdays. He doesn't go there on Tuesdays. Finally, about the 19th day of the session, I request you, is it the 19th day? No, it's the 18th day. Tennessee's loneliness. Let's see what that is. I took part in two out of three. No matter how many out of four. Anyway, I lost the first one. I took part in three. She is very good. She, Elsie, is walking in the listening room of King Building. I believe the cost is $27. That money was decided in 1927, related to history. Terry, how will they get tickets? Online. The real website is the real website. Go to Bristol Sessions Nights website. Just search for it. You can buy tickets. So it will be a good help. If it is a stop music, pay attention. Your legs can start to stop. You can get permission to stop. Anyway, yes, that is very important. I urge everyone to participate. So, that's all. That's all. I have one more thing to say quickly. You! The reason why we are winning in many things we talked about tonight is because of the initiative they are conducting. We have all the boards and commissions that we have been implementing all year round. Although Bristol sessions are hosted by the city and its residents, there are also protestors there. Believe in Bristol, a paper festival, is held in the presence of protestors. The birthplace of country music is going to celebrate its 100th anniversary next year, and it is also hosted by protestors. This festival, Bristol Rhythm and Routes, is also in the presence of protestors. Our planning commission works well with Ros and Jeevanakkar. But the planning commission is used by the people who are willing to spend their time with us. We also have an industrial development board. We have also got a lot of academic sessions there. Brett, who is a top staff member, and Daniel, who is a senior, are also supporting this. That is an important thing, because even if we do not vote every month, it is essential that we know why we vote when the time comes to vote. Explore Bristol, which is run by volunteers, is a very successful operation. In terms of tourism, they have greatly improved our status in the country. We have been able to receive more occupancy tax from those outside the city. So this is not a burden for our local legislators. We have a lot of things to do. If you see an opportunity for employment, please come forward. There are a lot of things going on here. This is only possible because employment operators are ready to spend their time. Thank you.

I was wondering if there was anything else to say. Lina talked about changing the work session time in November. Is this a suitable time to ask about changing the lunch time?

That's on November 17th. We can discuss this in the work session in September. But we both have work to do that day. So, it would have been good if we could move it to a lunch meeting that day. That's for sure.

That would be a good thing.

We can discuss it more in the work session. Okay. That would be a good thing.

I don't have anything else. Okay. I have one more thing to say.

Today, Dr. Pewter and his wife are at the health council. One year or one and a half years ago, we decided to focus on CPR in CPR. Therefore, we are trying to give training to the maximum number of people. Now, CPR has a very fast lesson. Is it 3 minutes or 5 minutes? A lesson like that. We are trying to teach everyone a small lesson about CPR. Last year, they gave training to about 3,800 people. This year's target is about 7,000. They believe it will go away. They have bookings in various schools by September. They are in Tennessee High School and Tennessee Middle School. They will be in Rhythm and Roadsy. Go there and see. If you haven't studied next year's CPR, do it. Study it. They have received next year's applications from Virginia High School and Virginia Middle School. That's why they are now participating in a protest. They are very excited about it. Other groups in Virginia are also hoping that it will work out. It was a great success because we decided to pay attention to it. As many things began to happen, things went fast. That's why we are very excited about it. So, pay attention to it. Okay, with this, today's discussion ends.
