Farragut Citizen's Commitment

The following has been released by Bill Johns, Adam Atherton, and David White.

---

I commit upon being elected to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA), to take action to address the following upon assuming office

Proactively and Intentionally Engage the Public

1.     Hold town workshops on different days and times for the sole purpose of encouraging residents to come before the BOMA to discuss local issues. 

2.     Take these issues, have an honest discussion about them, and take appropriate action.

3.     Add Citizen’s Forum back to the beginning of all town meetings and allow residents a minimum of 5 minutes, time permitting.

4.     Publicly announce vacancies for appointed positions and look to all residents for potential appointments. 

Conduct and Ethics

5.     All residents and members of the public before BOMA and on social media shall be treated with respect.

6.     No member of the BOMA shall serve as a voting member on the board of any entity that receives taxpayer funds from the town of Farragut. 

7.     Establish an independent, citizen-based Ethics and Oversight Commission. 

8.     Make our best efforts to record with video and audio all meetings relating to Farragut town meetings and post it online. 

Planning and Development

9.     Start the complete review of our Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). 

10.  Engage professionals, Farragut business owners, and community residents, to assist us in updating this plan.

11.  At the conclusion of our review, vote a land use plan into law as an ordinance. 

12.  We will oppose all efforts to urbanize Farragut, including shrinking lane widths to 10 feet wide, which is well below accepted Tennessee Department of Transit standards.
