The City fiscal year begins on July 1, so it should be no surprise to anyone that the 2026-2027 budget and related items will be the dominant agenda items this month.

BOMA began the public development of the FY27 budget back in early January with the finalization of the updated 10 year Capital Plan. Since then we’ve had dedicated sessions on new personnel requests, vehicle/equipment requests, capital planning and bonding strategies, revenue projections and several utility focused sessions. All this cumulated in a May 5 budget presentation which you can view here: https://play.champds.com/springhilltn/event/1220

If you’ve been paying attention to the process over the past several months, nothing about the budget this evening will be surprising. If you haven’t here are some highlights you might be interested in:
- BOMA will acknowledge the Comptroller supplied Certified Tax Rate as required and have first reading of the FY27 property tax rate. The rate is proposed to remain at $0.739 for the 5th year in a row.
- The budget as proposed is structurally balanced without the use of fund balance.
- A bit over 83% of all dollars will be going towards roads, utilities and public safety. This is a touch higher than in recent years but shouldn’t be a surprise given the sewer connection moratorium and need for utility related capital spending. I would expect some mid-year budget amendments to increase utility spending further.
- The sewer connection moratorium will further depress new development. Likewise, fees associated with new development (Impact fees, Adequate Facility Tax, etc) are projected to be over 60% lower than last year. YTD building permits are down 47% compared to this time last calendar year.
- With development related fees being lower, sales tax related revenues are expected to be around 43% of all general fund revenues. This is a bit higher than normal, and due to the depressed development related fees and not newly expected sales tax unfortunately.
- Construction funding for improvements to the Port Royal Rd and Buckner Ln intersection are included.
- The library, community services annex, Jim Warren Rd, Mahlon Moore/Battle Creek Way improvements are also included. Both pre-construction activity and construction.
- Increased property tax revenue is proposed to go primarily towards police positions ($827K), fire positions ($342K), the end of the SAFER grant ($200k) and the fire pumper truck purchase ($639K).

Also tonight, we’ll celebrate the graduation of the newest class from the Spring Hill Citizen’s Academy. Citizen’s Academy is an eight-week course that let’s Citizen’s get a closer look at the inner workings of City departments and facilities through presentations, hand-on experiences and open discussion. The class has been very popular, so be on the lookout to apply for the next class later this year. Tonight’s graduates will take the Citizen’s Academy alumni total to an even 100.

Compared to recent months, tonight’s non-voting Planning Commission work session is a busy agenda. However, majority of items have been previously seen and might not be very interesting.

Arbor Valley is back for a modification to Phase 7 and 8 of their project. This was previously seen in March and deferred. The next impact would be a reduction of 17 homes and some minor changes in layout.

After appearing as a concept plan last month, the Church of the Nativity is back with a site plan to expand their parking area and create a second access point using the driveway already installed on Buckner Ln. No additional square footage is being proposed.

The under construction Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance building on Reserve Blvd is requesting a site plan modification. The extension of Vanguard Drive will provide a second entrance to the building. Vanguard is being constructed by others and has been delayed as as a result of the sewer connection moratorium. Modification being requested would allow TOA to open without Vanguard being completed.

Spring Hill Pediatric Dentistry received site plan approval for an existing structure on Beechcroft Rd last winter. The existing lot was proposed to be split into two, and the Planning Commission gave the applicant six months to complete the lot split. That lot split will be on the agenda this evening.

Spring Hill’s Public Works department has some proposed text modifications to the Unified Development Code. The proposed changes would give homeowners additional flexibility in where fences can be installed on residential properties. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation on the proposed changes and BOMA will have the final say.

And lastly, we’re still in need of a new Planning Commissioner. If you’d like to be considered you can submit your interest here: https://forms.office.com/r/8ShppwpbXN

On March 5, 1770 a sailor named Crispus Attucks was shot twice and killed by British soldiers.

Four other sailors were also fatally shot that day, and the event became known as the Boston Massacre.

Most historians recognize Attucks as the first miliary death as part of the American Revolution. Since Attucks, nearly 1.2 million Americans have lost their lives in defense of our country.

On this Memorial Day, take a moment to honor the courage, bravery and sacrifice that so many men and women have made for you, me and all of America.

Nothing of significance on tonight's Planning Commission voting agenda.

Minor site plan modification to the already under construction Wakefield multifamily project to make some adjustments to internal sidewalks and improve the onsite amenities. Brandon Woods will be partially recording a final plat, the number of lots included is being limited by Brandon Wood's sewer allocation under the current moratorium.

Appreciate Sen. Marsha Blackburn spending the afternoon in Spring Hill and learning more about our local efforts to lead on water advanced purification and expanding utility capacity.

Spring Hill's largest challenges are going to be solved in collaboration with regional, state and federal partners. Always beneficial when other leaders spend time to learn about our local challenges and how we're solving them.

It’s both Taco Tuesday and Cinco De Mayo.

But more importantly, it’s Election Day for the Williamson County primary.

Before you head to Tito's Mexican Restaurant - Spring Hill, TN to crush some of the best carne asada tacos around, stop at any of the Williamson County polling locations and cast your ballot for County Mayor, County Commissioner, Sheriff, School Board and other positions. Voting locations here: https://rebrand.ly/vabj2rb

Williamson County is an incredible place to call home.

Are there challenges ahead and tough decisions to make? Certainly.

Do we need to keep investing in infrastructure, public education, and public safety to maintain our quality of life? Without a doubt.

But we shouldn’t lose sight of what’s already working. There’s no need to fix what isn’t broken.

Our next county mayor should be a collaborator and a problem solver. Someone who leads with fiscal discipline while protecting the character and strengths that make Williamson County special.

I early voted for Andy Marshall for Williamson County Mayor and would encourage you to vote for him as well.

What’s better than budget news and road updates?

BOMA will have a special called budget meeting tomorrow night for an initial presentation of the FY27 budget. There shouldn’t be any surprises if you’ve followed the past several meetings. BOMA has already seen and shared expected new employee positions (mainly fire and police) along with vehicle and equipment needs.

And just last month, BOMA finalized an updated 10 year capital plan for non-utility projects. During the work portion of tonight’s meeting, staff will be sharing final design plans for Port Royal / Buckner Ln intersection improvements (construction scheduled to begin in September and be completed by March 2028) and a concept design for Jim Warren Rd (geotech and survey work happening now, construction to begin in 2029). You can see the full 10 year plan here: https://rebrand.ly/zuyvuvv

Thank you to everyone who gave feedback in my annual citizens budget survey. 70% of you felt the property tax rate is either “About Right” or “Too Low”. We are not expecting any changes to the property tax rate this upcoming fiscal year. Your property tax bill is dependent upon both the rate set by the City and the appraised value set by the County. As Maury County is completing updated property assessments; you could see a change in your appraised value. Any additional revenues seen by the City will be going towards covering the additional public safety personnel, the new fire engine being delivered later this year and the end of the SAFER grant the City received in 2023. https://rebrand.ly/8thbhxd

Lastly, if you live in Williamson County tomorrow is Election Day for the county primary elections. You can vote at any Williamson County polling location, the ones most convenient to Spring Hill are the Longview Rec Center, Spring Station Middle School, Heritage Elementary School and Thompson’s Station Middle School.

Last summer, Mayor Brian Stover , Brian Clifford, County Commissioner , Jason Potts, Alderman Ward 3 and myself got together to talk about different ways we could coordinate infrastructure improvements at some key junctures where the county and three cities all converged. One idea we landed on was a county wide major thoroughfare plan to ensure all our individual plans worked together to deliver county wide benefit.

Mayor Stover and I took the idea to the Williamson County Growth Management Roundtable. The other mayors agreed with the idea, and last fall the county applied for a Transportation Planning Grant through TDOT.

This week, the county received word that TDOT has awarded the grant to the tune of $250,000 and hired a consultant to assist the county in plan development. We’ll be identifying and targeting priority projects that have the largest strategic benefit to the county and offer the greatest regional congestion relief, regardless of jurisdictional lines. This is they type of collaborative approach and data TDOT looks for when making funding decisions.

The wheels of government turn slow at times, but they sure turn a whole lot better when we’re all working together across city and county lines. Speaking with one collective voice when seeking state and federal funding produces better outcomes for everyone.
