A question on the fall ballot could significantly impact how a city handles growth and development. The issue at hand is whether to repeal the city's home rule charter. City leaders consider this topic complex and warranting public meetings before early voting begins.

Town halls are scheduled to educate the public on Home Rule. These meetings will take place at various schools, including West Wilson Middle School, Green Hill High School, and Mt. Juliet Middle School, on October 6, 8, and 13, respectively, all at 6:30 p.m.

Further details about the home rule charter and its implications are available, including information from the city's Deputy City Manager, Michael Mullins, who notes that the designation limits the city's governing capabilities.
