Board of Commissioners Work Session | November 9th, 2026

The City of Mt. Juliet Board of Commissioners held a work session on November 9, 2026, to discuss a recently passed statewide Tennessee law governing local review of project submissions. The law requires action within 30 days, places projects on a Planning Commission agenda within 60 days, and requires a 50% refund of application fees when an application is denied. Commissioners and staff discussed seeking amendments with Wilson County, whose planning body meets monthly and is seeking longer review periods.

The proposed amendment list includes an additional 15 business days when a third-party consultant is involved, removing the 50% fee-refund requirement, allowing applicants to waive statutory deadlines, and excluding days when a municipality must close from deadline calculations. No vote was taken. Commissioners asked that comments be collected promptly and routed through the city manager and attorney to develop language for a combined city-county request to Representative Clark Boyd ahead of the next legislative session. No procurement activity was identified.
