Councilman Javont (name as recorded in the transcript) said constituents reported dust clouds from moving earth and that blasting had shaken homes. Commenters said rocks had struck vehicles and property. One public commenter said he could feel blasts half a mile away and reported material falling from a retaining wall. Another council member referenced a report of a “cantaloupe-size” rock going through a windshield and said complaints about dust near work by Rogers Group have persisted.

Council members and staff repeatedly advised the complaining members to contact the city engineer (referred to in the meeting as “Nick”) with site locations so engineering staff could inspect the developments and determine whether mitigation — such as dust suppression, wetting, covering material stockpiles or road cleanup — would be appropriate. The council noted that blasting procedures are largely regulated at the state level but that dust control is a city enforcement issue and would be handled on a site‑specific basis.

No formal enforcement action, citation or new code was adopted during the meeting; the council directed staff to review the sites and report back. Council members asked staff to investigate whether existing code tools could be applied and to report findings at a future meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Gallatin 2025-05-21","oneSentenceSummary","Residents told the Gallatin City Council they experienced dust clouds, falling debris and blasting from a Long Road development; council members directed staff to have the engineering department inspect sites and determine what can be done.","taxTitle","Gallatin City , Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",52803,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6646052,"Council approves license-plate reader program vendor for public safety",36,534000,570000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3417832-01f8750231195d64be558a965ba56841&start=534&end=570","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3417832-01f8750231195d64be558a965ba56841/thumbnail_534000.jpg","/articles/6646052/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Council-approves-license-plate-reader-program-vendor-for-public-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646052-c27b344a6e8059824edef23486395397/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440056&Signature=eF1KRRFEWFcSjf5exHQqBfWTRFkhhJW2oJkia67XJV1fdX15hR0L6Uo-aebnULySdsZPRdRq2oODy-rFnkb~e35yccW0P5ZEecpaM~JmCf4PYO-SWtOCcwJGxQu4LDMBTUsWE5g~vvZMOM237fbDlqv9svyBhoFxjeCRRUmkMeysZMRZAkH4fvhuxBiKqw2ZJ6Xes3nfyXD24ToOvSqFQpyrrRN0BKmdqFg71YmbfMVg0GB9BhXjOZ6K2AICgkeK6nRK7xsd3xWshZbXesh~22A1eyPIphePwlY08AXNbLZp5gaH9GRUCipCnRUaW-iUVBvdt1qu9HVpbCfS0NYbsg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gallatin City Council approved a request from the police chief to adopt a license-plate reader (LPR) program using vendor FLOC.

Chief Beatty told the council the county and Hendersonville Police Department already use the FLOC system and that the Tennessee Department of Transportation required updated board minutes and formal approval. The chief said he would provide the council with the exact camera locations after the meeting.

A council member moved and seconded approval of the request; the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript records the chair saying the motion carries. No roll-call tally was read aloud in the excerpted discussion.

Chief Beatty indicated he would forward the camera locations to the judge and to council.

Council members moved and seconded a motion to approve the applications; the clerk recorded five yes votes and two abstentions. No council member voted against the permit approvals.

Following the vote a council member praised the Twice Daily staff.

Council discussion focused on edits added to the draft resolution and language changes to the grant agreement after the packet was published. Council members debated guardrails for future requests and a late request from the developer’s attorney to revise a restriction in section 4HI of the grant agreement. The requested phrasing would add: “provided, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit off price or discount retailers such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, HomeGoods, etcetera.”

The city attorney and staff told council members the resolution now includes additional whereas clauses intended to explain the council’s rationale if it chose to approve the grant and to provide precedent for similar future requests. Ms. High McCauley, identified in the meeting as the developer’s attorney, requested the 4HI clarification so that typical off-price or discount retailers would not be excluded by language aimed at secondhand stores.

Councilman Carter moved to amend the grant agreement to insert the off‑price‑retailer exception; the amendment was seconded and approved by voice vote. After further brief discussion about the project schedule and the agreement’s “substantial completion” language, the council voted to adopt the resolution approving the grant agreement as amended. The clerk called the vote and the motion carried.

Speakers at the meeting raised concerns about precedent and about whether the developer previously knew the scope of required remediation and costs. At least one public speaker criticized the developer, identified in comments as “Mister Green,” saying the developer had previously worked in the area and should have anticipated site conditions. Council members said the resolution and grant language additions were intended to provide clearer public record of the council’s reasons for approving the assistance.

The council did not read a numerical vote tally into the minutes during the public exchange recorded in the transcript; the mayor declared the motions carried after the voice votes.

The agreement calls for commercially reasonable efforts by the developer to achieve substantial completion (the meeting referenced the contract’s definition of that term). The grant packet and the revised resolution remain part of the official record.","The Gallatin City Council approved a grant agreement for a development tied to a prospective Target store and adopted an amendment clarifying that off-price retailers such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross and HomeGoods would not be prohibited.","actionData","errors"]
