Thompson's Station's Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Town Hall.
The session comes one week after the town's Tuesday, Nov. 3, municipal election. According to unofficial results reported by the Williamson Herald, Mayor Brian Stover won a second term unopposed with 2,811 votes. Sarah Alexander was elected to the board with 2,723 votes, and Alderman Bob Whitmer won re-election with 2,584 votes.
Alexander is new to the board. Stover and Whitmer are returning.
The meeting agenda had not been posted to the town's website as of the morning of Nov. 10.
One topic the board has been working through is the possible creation of a Thompson's Station police department. WSMV reported Tuesday, Nov. 3, that town leaders discussed plans for hiring a police chief and potentially starting work next year to build a police station. During a recent BOMA meeting, one alderman criticized the Williamson County Sheriff's Office for what the alderman called an alleged lack of transparency, according to WSMV. The alderman said the town was "flying blind" by sending the county a check every year without receiving police data.
Town leaders said adding a police department and chief would help force data accountability so policing needs could be better determined, WSMV reported. The station reported that more discussions on a future police department would be held the following month.
Whether the police department topic appears on Tuesday's agenda is unclear. The regular meeting is scheduled to run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall.
