- sit on a 200-acre site about 17 miles south west of Brownsville. Construction of the site will consist of the installation and operation of a 5-10 megawatt “photovoltaic array, including required utility transmission lines, the Information and Welcome Center, and the development of educational programs.

So far, the possible environmental effects presented didn’t appear to show any violations.

Land use would change from agricultural to restricted industrial use. As far as noise from the construction, it’s believed that it wouldn’t have any adverse effects.

As far as water, it’s stated that the farm will impact 400 feet of stream

channel, but normal facility operations would have no adverse impact on surface water or groundwater.

There will be some clearing of trees and vegetation during the construction, however the assessments notes that there won’t be an impacts on resident plants and animals, nor any impact on any threatened or endangered species.

There is an expectation of short-term increase of traffi c on local roads during construction. TDOT is planning to construct on and off access ramps from I-40 for vehicle access into the Information and Welcome Center.

It was noted by Steven Allen, from the TDOT, that Phase I plans are

provide an entrance from I-40 West, not I-40 East yet.

Draft Continued from A1

- to the city’s saggy pants problem.

While trying to establish and enforce a city law that would ban people from sagging their pants, the board was advised by the city attorney that doing so would open up a number of legal problems, including possibly infringing on constitutional rights, he said.

“I think it’s awful that we do nothing about,”

King said. “I still don’t agree with it, but I know it’s hard to enforce.”

It was briefl y joked by Alderman Simmons that the city could change the Welcome Sign to “No saggy pants.”

Banks added to the humorous quip, pointing towards the water tower.

“We could just change the water tower,” he said. “Instead of saying ‘Good Place to live, we could say ‘No Saggy Pants.’”

In other board news, it was noted that although Halloween falls on a Sunday, it will be recognized by the city the day before.

And fi nally, Brownsville/Haywood County Fire Chief Mark Foster commented on the busy number of calls, lately, for the fi re department.

Last month, the department received 46 calls. They’ve received 33 in this month so far.

Briefl y Speaking

Nashville— On Friday, Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh (D-Haywood & Tipton Counties) announced that during the current 2010-2011 fi scal year, approximately $66,421,200.00 in state appropriated expenditures will fl ow into Haywood County through various state agencies and programs. Haywood County will also receive a portion of the $12.4 billion in federal funds that are included in Tennessee’s $29.9 billion budget as adopted by the 106th General Assembly.

“Two years ago, as we began dealing with the long-term effects of our nation’s economic slowdown, the Tennessee Legislature made a commitment to keep our state running without raising taxes or massive cuts,” said Naifeh. “Our economy continues to grow stronger, and though there are still challenges ahead, Tennessee looks to make a full recovery in the months and years to come.

Speaker Emeritus Naifeh listed budgeted state appropriations benefi ting Haywood County in the following general categories: $16,764,400.00 (Kindergarten through 12th grade); $5,012,700.00 state shared tax collections; $9,956,300.00 for health and social services; $5,108,400.00 for justice and public safety; $708,400.00 for recreation and resources development; $505,800.00 for Economic Development and Higher Education; $25,100,000 in Capital Outlay; and $3,265,200.00 for state highway projects.

“Diffi cult decisions had to be made in order to produce a balanced budget with no new taxes, but even with the tough decisions we were able to

maintain the programs that matter most like Tennessee’s BEP 2.0 program,” said Naifeh. “Going forward, I intend to continue to protect these programs from reductions and hope others in the legislature will put children and families fi rst in every fi nancial decision we make.“

Speaker Emeritus Naifeh further elaborated on the Health and Social Services’ appropriations benefi ting Haywood County residents include $434,100.00 for Children’s Services; $40,500 for Community Intellectual Disability Programs; and 449,600.00 for Health services, with $9,007,200.00 million of the Health funds for TennCare.

“In the coming years, as our economy continues to grow, we must not forget the lessons we’ve learned over these past few years,” said Naifeh. “By keeping a sizeable Rainy Day Fund, cutting ineffi cient programs, and tightening our belts, state government can run on the resources it has and not have to shift the burden onto the shoulders of working Tennesseans.”

This year’s balanced budget was achieved through a number of important decisions including:

Making over $420 million in � reductions

Using a signifi cant amount of � one-time funding

NOT raising taxes� NOT taking money away �

from the Highway FundNOT taking State-shared �

taxes away from local governments
