This replaces the regularly scheduled meeting for September, which falls on Labor Day. Of special interest for next week will be a public hearing on the Road Impact Fee Update. The City regularly reevaluates impact fees due to growth and the rising costs for road construction. Impact fees are paid by developers to help fund new roadway construction, and costs to build roads have doubled in the last several years. This study also includes the Mack Hatcher Parkway Extension for the first time, since this project is now underway. Fees are going up so it should be an interesting meeting.   TMA Produced Air Care Show Gets National Recognition The TMA Group develops and produces a monthly cable educational television show, "Air Care". The show is part of the Clean Air Partnership of Williamson County program. "Air Care" is the only TV series in the U.S. that addresses transportation, pollution, environmental, health, etc. issues. On Thursday, August 16 the US Department of Transportation/Federal Highway Administration office contacted TMA requesting permission to place this show on the "It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air" exchange. They applaud the work and content of the show, and feel that it would be of benefit to the entire air quality and transportation community. An additional bonus of this opportunity, is on a national level the show spotlights the visionary leadership of Williamson County and its municipalities by the implementation and use of alternative modes of transportation, such as the vanpool program and Franklin's public transportation system. This is quite an honor, and I offer my complements to the TMA Group for their efforts.   Lillie Belle's Offers Dickens Tea and Dinner Events Dickens of a Christmas Tea Saturday, December 8, 11:00am - 2:30pm (5 Seatings) Live Music with Guitarist, Peter Skrabak Dickens of a Christmas Dinner Friday, December 7, 6:00pm or 8:00pm and Saturday, December 8, 6:30pm or 8:30pm Live music with Ruth McGinnis and the Acoustic Trio Call 790-2300 for pricing and reservations which are required due to limited seating.
