On Thursday, September 11, 2025, the Lawrenceburg City Council convened and successfully approved all items listed on their agenda. Among the significant decisions made was the passage of Ordinance No. 1444, which introduces amendments to the Lawrenceburg Municipal Code. This particular ordinance establishes Mobile Vending Limited Use Standards, aimed at regulating mobile food vendors within the city.
In addition to the ordinance, the council took a proactive step in public safety by voting to empower the Lawrenceburg Police Department to pursue a grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office. This grant is intended to support high-visibility DUI enforcement efforts for the fiscal year 2025-26. The funding allocated for this initiative totals $10,000, which is divided into two categories: $6,000 designated for equipment reimbursement and $4,000 earmarked for overtime expenses incurred by law enforcement personnel.
Furthermore, the council took a moment to honor David Russ, who is retiring after an impressive 31-year career with the Lawrenceburg Police Department. His long-standing service to the community was acknowledged, marking the end of an era for the department and the city.
