The first special meeting was Sept. 27 and Mayor Wyatt Bunker announced the sessions would focus on the Lakeland 2020 Strategic Plan including the areas of economic development, fire services, parks and recreation, residential growth and infrastructure and education. The September session featured Dexter Mueller who is a development consultant to the City.
Dennis Wolf, fire management consultant with MTAS (Municipal Technical Advisory Service – University of Tennessee), addressed the Board of Commissioners (BOC) Oct. 5 and confirmed that Lakeland could have its own fire station by July 2019. Mayor Bunker said part of this initiative is to lower and then eliminate the fire fee currently on MLGW bills, with no tax increase.
