This shares my conversation with Town Council Chair Tom Mercer. This is one of a series of conversations meant to provide a recap of the prior Council meeting.

We cover the following key topics

- 3 Restaurant change of Manager
- Table & Vine change of manager
- Table & Vine transfer of license and change of address
- National Register Historic Districts In Franklin (rescheduled)
- Lead Service Line Inventory
- Gift Acceptance - Veterans’ Services Dept. ($1,845), Fire Dept. ($486)
- Parking
Our conversation runs about 25 minutes:
