Leadership Wilson\u2019s \u201cDare to Dine 2009\u201d will be held on Saturday, November 7, beginning a t 6 p.m. and is set to be yet another wonderful adventure in dining. As one of Leadership Wilson\u2019s annual fundraisers,

Dare to Dine is a night full of wonderful surprises wrapped up in one dining adventure.

\u201cDare to Dine\u201d is a unique dining experience where the Dare is that you don\u2019t know where you

will Dine when you make reservations. Not only will you not know where you will be eating\u2026but you won\u2019t know where you will be dining, what you will be eating, or who you will be dining with. A week before the event, those who have made reservations will be

noti\ufb01 ed of where they will be dining\u2026but not until they arrive will they know what is on the menu or who else they will be dining with. At the end of the evening\u2026all attendees will then go to one home (which is still a secret) for the \u201cDessert Finale\u201d for champagne and dessert. Tickets

limited...so will you \u201cDare to Dine\u201d to support Leadership Wilson? Tickets to this year\u2019s event are $50 per person ($100 per couple) and all the proceeds go to Leadership Wilson. To purchase tickets visit www. LeadershipWilson.com

\u201cWe are hoping that they will be in operation the middle of or latter part of November, depending on TDOT and permits,\u201d Garrett told The Chronicle on Tuesday. \u201cOnce in operation there will be signage before each intersection advising of camera monitoring and at the entrances to the city limits.

City Manager Randy Robertson said Monday that city ordinances dating back to 1972 have been codi\ufb01 ed and the\ufb01 rst draft will be put on the City\u2019s website next week. Citizens may peruse, and \u201csome may want to poke holes in\u201d the ordinances, Robertson said, at www. cityofmtjuliet.org.

In new business, an ordinance to extend sewer averaging for one additional month did not pass on\ufb01 rst reading, with only District 2

Commissioner Will Sellers and District 3 Commissioner Ed Hagerty voting in favor of it.

An ordinance to increase the City\u2019s sewer capacity fee by $35.00 since Metro has increased the fees charged to the City by that amount was unanimously

approved on\ufb01 rst reading. This is for both residential and commercial properties. A capacity fee is charged every time a new subdivision or new business comes online and is charged based on the size of the meter.

An ordinance to authorize Mt. Juliet City Finance

approve adjustments to sewer bills was unanimously approved on\ufb01 rst reading.

An amendment to the City sign ordinance for CNS zoning was withdrawn after discussion. The issue at hand dealt with Cedar Creek Market on Nonaville Road: the owners want to put up a sign advertising their gas prices, but current zoning prohibits such signage in that area. Owner Chia Patel and Teresa Richards plead their case, with Patel telling commissioners that \u201cpeople are fussing for\u201d a sign.

pointed out that amending sign ordinance for CNS zoning is a \u201cproblem because of a same situation at Cobblestone Landing,\u201d where a gas station is located on Old Lebanon Dirt Road, with the same CNS zoning and where signage \u201cwould not be appropriate.\u201d That issue was discussed exhaustively on the planning commission level, with many restrictions concerning signage placed on that market due to the demands of area citizens.

suggested changing the zoning of the parcel instead and looking at the sign ordinance to see what is appropriate for that parcel and the area surrounding it. District 1

Ted Floyd, who sponsored the ordinance, withdrew it, and Mt. Juliet City Planner Steve Foote agreed to look into the issue and meet with Patel.
