Morton said her local team is assembled and that all accounts are opened and treasury services implemented; she noted only deposit bags remained to be delivered and offered to deliver them the following morning. “All the hard work has been done for your team, just please let us execute,” Morton said, asking the board to allow the bank to complete the contracted services.

“I challenge the town to change that ordinance so that a church is not limited to 50% of its building,” Nichols said, noting that churches often use facilities for worship, education and community programs. Nichols said parking is less expensive than additional building construction and that current limits can force congregations to invest in unused building space rather than parking.

Mayor Frasier and staff acknowledged the request; Miss Maynor (staff) and Development Director Mike Clark were noted as taking the comment for follow-up. No ordinance change or formal staff recommendation was made during the meeting; the item was submitted as a citizen comment and recorded for board consideration.

Nichols referenced local examples, saying other congregations such as Grace Valley also face parking needs. He framed the request as forward-looking planning to allow churches to allocate resources to community programs rather than unnecessary building expansion.","A pastor asked the Collierville board to revise a local parking ordinance that he said limits churches to parking equal to 50% of building capacity, restricting simultaneous worship and education programs.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6587192,"Collierville residents urge board to separate liquor and wine license decisions from beer agenda, ask for pause",546,463000,1009000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671993-ac87bff45cc144bb8c992591de3d005e&start=463&end=1009","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671993-ac87bff45cc144bb8c992591de3d005e/thumbnail_463000.jpg","/articles/6587192/Collierville/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Collierville-residents-urge-board-to-separate-liquor-and-wine-license-decisions-from-beer-agenda-ask-for-pause","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587192-af2264b58cb6e96ac3dc0b37766dfcce/orig.mp4?Expires=1771083194&Signature=WAEXCsom~pC~wVapCwkcRaqH~aLLgMC830OJXseY3FSnV3uAfoJEh2NW8v9c1UO-gkhsdrSmFR-mUiCpMKbOcbTjxGgMWDWANhY5pbzQ9apfvpdjfm7xeN5BAdejDOZe7BLo0hmoAmkWKVk~t~iduhbwRTqqD1OanPHZS2jKFI0cxbTIfqm~NDb56Thb5l4WKEoCKytL5FS0jWuYIL2oI07UHf6BmcG1VBh9AMROJd3od28Gl8NqR-TFYs1tufwotv8ptErak~zZ0ckVGIWpm4gD-sB039vG99HGIs0PNsR3IBhS00vCVku63o1txMERqwLTZkJ7UnpSwCRXl7bDgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several residents and local liquor-store owners told the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Aug. 25 that proposed changes to off-premise liquor and wine licensing deserve separate and careful consideration rather than being bundled with beer-board business.

Jason Duff, who identified himself as the owner of a recently opened store at 1334 Mountainside Drive, told the board he had invested personal assets, including his home, to open his business and asked the board to slow the process for issuing two additional licenses. “I am asking y’all to not even necessarily deny it, but just to slow down,” Duff said. He said a first-come, first-served approach and a 250-foot distance requirement could allow a better-financed competitor to open next to his store and “put me right out of business” before he can establish himself.

Will Hayes, owner of Cheers Wines and Spirits at 366 New Byhalia Road, said liquor and wine license decisions “deserve thoughtful, careful consideration because they impact Collierville’s future,” and urged the board to remove liquor and wine licensing from the beer-board agenda so applications can be vetted separately. Hayes questioned whether a simple numerical rule such as “one store per 10,000 residents” fits Collierville and warned that rushing could lead to oversaturation and profits leaving the town.

Both speakers asked the board to provide time for existing businesses to establish themselves and for the town to vet applicants for local commitment and ethical standards. No board action on licensing was taken at the meeting; the remarks were made during the citizen-comment portion of the agenda.

The board acknowledged the comments; staff and the mayor noted they had taken the requests and that items on the beer-board agenda were separate. No formal motion, ordinance or vote on liquor and wine licenses occurred during the meeting.","Two local liquor retailers and residents urged the Collierville board during public comment to slow or separate consideration of new off-premise liquor and wine licenses, citing potential harm to small businesses and the need for local vetting.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":42,"_43":101,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6587197,"Collierville board approves consent agenda, sewer master plan update and pump station contract",1207000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671993-ac87bff45cc144bb8c992591de3d005e&start=1207&end=1207","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671993-ac87bff45cc144bb8c992591de3d005e/thumbnail_1207000.jpg","/articles/6587197/Collierville/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Collierville-board-approves-consent-agenda-sewer-master-plan-update-and-pump-station-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587197-bfb7b9343813adb37d441b1ae2a6ad61/orig.mp4?Expires=1771083194&Signature=kumnxebTHJUKmznbeRtg9Yf048Wnpgg4HEJdaTkEavDju2M7CefQczlE9pE7ZkaVLrRd5iUyfFxrxwg7gASroJWWUIqA1jUZUWYTi0fjx6g-6dV9SapddOjPMBTGdCFL93qc9qYaYGFoNQ8wl5yOKY1bGBvAU~EPRAyadVtew2920fwBF-SkTcui3Esf136fJRnVezEBfkeCuV1XLPA~k~saXVp50abzHaC1upvQTCkBNy7wzHJqijzg7boKD1cDxOnzb~Ct3NegntzxvckX2AODXZRwLXBHY9f8hM9-zNXegvwqWNeXXLNlz8jH4EuOuyWbNjy8Y56pKhbCtuM9PQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Aug. 25 approved the meeting agenda, two sets of minutes, a consent agenda covering items 8(a)–8(t), a professional services agreement to update the town’s sewer master plan, a construction contract for a sewer pump station rehabilitation project, and the purchase of park maintenance equipment.

The board voted unanimously on each item during roll-call votes. Mayor Frasier presided and Miss Diamond conducted roll calls. The professional services agreement authorizes a contract with Canyon Canyon Engineering to update the town’s Sewer Master Plan for $116,640; the FY2026 budget includes $120,000 for the work. The board also awarded a lump-sum construction contract to Consolidated Electrical Services Incorporated for $447,900 for the Sewell Park (pump) station rehabilitation and replacement project. Bids were opened Aug. 6 and the low bid was about $3,532 under the $450,000 budgeted amount.

Board members were told the pump station project is part of a grant-funded initiative started in 2022; staff said the town expects reimbursement of $291,135 following project completion under the stated 35% local-match requirement, leaving the town’s share at approximately $156,765. John Fox, public utilities director, explained the pump station serves the majority of customers south of Poplar Avenue and conveys on average about 1,000,000 gallons per day with a peak capacity noted during the presentation.

The board also approved an agreement with Canyon Canyon Engineering to update the sewer master plan; staff said the existing plan is more than 12 years old, the update will plan for 20 years of growth, and the proposal price is $3,360 under the FY26 allocation. The board approved the purchase of an infield machine and an aerator for parks maintenance through a statewide contract; staff noted the infield machine includes a Topcon GPS system and the aerator’s production date is expected in 2026. All routine minutes and the consent agenda passed by unanimous roll-call votes.
