During a recent city commission meeting in Mount Juliet, officials discussed the city’s significant population growth, which has surged from approximately 15,000 residents at the time of the mayor's election to over 40,000 today. The mayor emphasized the importance of preserving the city’s traditions, particularly the historical spelling of \"Mount Juliet\" as \"M.T. Juliet,\" which was officially recognized in the city’s charter. This resolution aims to memorialize this spelling in official records and promote local identity.

Commissioner Milletti raised a point of curiosity regarding the U.S. Postal Service's recognition of the city's name, noting that it uses \"Mount\" instead of \"M.T.\" The discussion led to a motion to send the resolution to the postmaster general and other relevant state and federal agencies to ensure proper recognition of the city's name.

In addition to the name resolution, the commission unanimously supported Tennessee House Joint Resolution 803, which calls for a time of prayer and fasting across the state. The mayor expressed gratitude for the community's interest in recognizing this initiative, which addresses various pressing issues facing Tennessee.

The meeting concluded with the passing of both resolutions, reflecting the commission's commitment to honoring local traditions and supporting state initiatives.
