• He explained the Baby Box to be a place where babies whose parents have an
inability to care for them could be safely left.
• The placement of the Baby Box would be at Station Five. It is near the bypass, a
hospital and EMT services are readily available at this station.
• There would be alterations to the station, completely funded by the non-profit with
funds that had been raised for that purpose.
• 100 % of babies dropped at these facilities have resulted in adoption.
• Once a baby has been placed in the box, Station Five staff will receive a
notification. The process from there is Baby Box is contacted, the State is notified,
the baby would be turned over to the hospital or handed off to an equal level of care
as compared to the Fire Department staff.

of the box will take.

maintenance needs as well as sign ordinance enforcement. Major roads and
medians will be focused on daily, other areas once a week, greenways, and bridges
once a month.
• There will be no budget impact as there was restructuring using current staff and a
vehicle.
• Planning previously had two part-time positions for sign ordinance enforcement. By

PRESENTATIONS
There was a presentation on current and future economic development by Planning
Department staff given by Director Keith Free and Economic Development & Community
Planner J. Ritterbeck.
Planning Support, Business Outreach, Interdepartmental, and City G.I.S. (Geographic
Information System) were four (4) main topics that were the focus of the presentation.
Ritterbeck shared that Music City Studios and Costco are moving forward.
Ritterbeck answered questions from Roberson regarding what he felt was the largest
impediment of businesses relocating to Hendersonville. He stated the unknown process of
permitting. A landing page, a workflow of sorts, outlining the process, applications, fees,
and details contained in each would be a great aid. Director Free and he are currently
working within Energov to create that. He does not consider land to be an issue.
Director Free explained how the G.I.S. will be beneficial. Not only will it provide
economic development data, but it will provide many layers of information including land
use and financial data. This system will be a “living document” as it will update daily.
The pilot area of the G.I.S. will be the Westlake Plan area. Eventually it will encompass the
whole City.
The G.I.S. database is being created in-house and will interface financial data using Munis
software currently in place, the Energov system, and the professional mapping information
managed by JP Finnegan, G.I.S. Technician for the City.
No date has been set for rolling out the G.I.S. but it is moving at a quick pace.

improve communications via social media posts. Paving has been promoted, as
well as Beautiful Hendersonville and their nomination process. LaMarr
encouraged the Board to create their own posts on their personal social media
page(s) or Ward page(s) and share the information with their constituents.
Currently the following is not very large, and growth of Facebook and
Instagram followers is desired. It is a great platform to get messages out when
needed. Signs have been ordered with QR codes to be placed at each of the
Capital Project work sites to show the taxpayers their dollars at work. A Fire
Safety video is in the works for juveniles and teens. Mars Petcare selected the

million dollars to be made into the LGIP investment account. Five hundred
dollars was earned in one day. There are limits on how much can be withdrawn
from our bank daily. Currently there is $14.5 million dollars invested in the
State Investment Pool which will continue to grow as much as the cash allows.
In the next week or so there should be another $6-8 million invested. Interest
rates through March 2023 were 4.64%. The bank’s interest rate on our funds
was less than a half percent (.5%). The end of April will show just how
profitable it has been. This is a new revenue stream the City has not had before.
• Eckenroth highlighted the work Director Lock and Trace Buerkett had been
doing on paving. He also reported that streamlining reports of vacation rentals
is being worked on. Updated FEMA reimbursements this year totaled
$560,000.00 received from the December 21 tornado. This will be going to the

Ordinance 2023-08, appropriating funds for storm
damage repairs.
STAFF
REPORT
REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth-COO
BACKGROUND: 1
On March 3, 2024, sustained high winds caused damage throughout Sumner County and the State of
Tennessee. The City of Hendersonville suffered from wind damage in the form of downed electric lines
and trees throughout the city and various damage to city buildings and parks.
DISCUSSION: 2
City buildings and parks are insured through Public Entity Partners (PEP). The city has begun the process
of gathering quotes to repair the work, the bulk of the insurable damaged has occurred at the city parks.
The Parks Department has met with the insurance adjuster and various contractors to facilitate the repair
work caused by the wind damage. The city budget did not account for “unknown” damage and we must
appropriate funds to facilitate the repair work. The repair work is insured and will net out to the deductible
cost of the insurance policy. The total cost of the repair work is being determined, but our initial estimate
is $275,000, subject to change as all actual work is completed.
FISCAL IMPACT: 3
The fiscal impact will net out to the insurance deductible of $1,000 per occurrence, plus any work we
perform outside of the insured loss. We are estimating $275,000 of expenditures and $274,000 of revenue
for a total cost of $1,000. If we are required to file separate claims for different facilities or types of
damage the deductible will be $1,000 per claim.

AN ORDINANCE RESTRUCTURING BEAUTIFUL HENDERSONVILLE, INC. BY

CITY
WHEREAS, Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. has historically operated as a separate corporate
nonprofit entity, managing its own fund account;

resulting discontinuity of officers have affected its ability to conform to usual corporate
formalities and efficiently transfer financial account authority. It is the desire of the City to

That the Board of Mayor and Alderman consider
Ordinance 2023-06, to officially dissolve the incorporated
SPECIFIC REQUEST/
RECOMMENDATION:
status of Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. and recognize STAFF
Beautiful Hendersonville as an unincorporated city board
under Title 2 of the city’s municipal code. REPORT
REPORT PREPARED BY: Jesse Eckenroth-COO
BACKGROUND: 1
Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. was authorized, by BOMA, to form as a Tennessee non-profit corporation, in
1979. Non-profit incorporated status requires an annual filing with the Tennessee Secretary of the State.
In 1991 the corporation was deemed inactive by the state as the annual filing process was not fulfilled.
DISCUSSION: 2
Beautiful Hendersonville is an active and thriving board making positive impacts throughout the city. There
is no benefit to reviving the non-profit incorporated status and annual filing since the board is under the
umbrella of the City of Hendersonville. Placing Beautiful Hendersonville under the umbrella of BOMA
eliminates the need to submit an annual filing, eliminates the need for separate bank accounts and will
encourage the consistency of operations when new members come on board.
FISCAL IMPACT: 3
There is no associated cost to the city. The existing account balance for Beautiful Hendersonville, Inc. will
be transferred to the city’s banking account and earmarked for Beautiful Hendersonville activity,
approximately $7,000.00. The Beautiful Hendersonville budget will be determined on an annual basis via
the city’s annual budget process.

ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION # Resolution 2023-17
SPECIFIC REQUEST/ BOMA is being asked to relieve local businesses of sign
RECOMMENDATION: restrictions. The objective is to help businesses hire staff. STAFF
REPORT
REPORT PREPARED BY: Jamie Clary
BACKGROUND: 1
Many businesses have a difficult time hiring staff in Hendersonville. Our city does not have a rich labor
pool. Some business operators have criticized the city’s restrictions on signs as a hurdle in hiring. Many
businesses would like to advertise they are hiring on signs that are illegal. Last year BOMA relaxed those
restrictions for one month as a way to help those businesses. This resolution will do the same in May of
this year.
DISCUSSION: 2
All signs must pertain to hiring. They can be temporary ground signs or banners. They may be placed
longer than the current restrictions allow. The time they are up will not count toward the total number of
days that such signs are allowed on a piece of property.
