GOVERNMENT Town of Farragut Population: 20,676 Area: 16.2 square miles Info: 966-7057 www.townoffarragut.org
HISTORY AND LIMITS The Town of Farragut was incorporated by referendum on Jan. 16, 1980, and a charter was adopted. The Town is named in honor of U.S. Navy Admiral James David Glasgow Farragut, the first admiral of the Navy who was born in the Farragut area. The Town also is well-known with Civil War historians. The battle of Campbell Station took place Nov. 16, 1863. Although not considered a defining win for the Union, the battle was a strategic fight for the passage to Knoxville and control of two key East Tennessee railways. The Town initially encompassed an area of 9.5 square miles, expanding by annexation to about 16 square miles by 1993. Farragut is bounded to the north by Interstate 40 except at Campbell Station Road, Snyder Road and the Outlets Drive area; to the south, by the Southern Railway railroad tracks and Turkey Creek Road; to the east by some areas of Lovell Road, the back of Sweetbriar subdivision, Concord Road, including Thornton Heights and Concord Hills and a line west of Campbell Station Road, and to the west by the Loudon County line.
GOVERNMENTAL FORM The Town Charter establishes a Board of Mayor and Aldermen as its form of government. An election is held in April every two years in odd-numbered years. The mayor is elected at-large to a four-year term. Four aldermen are elected, two each from two wards to four-year staggered terms. The board elects a vice mayor to a term of one year from among its members.
BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN The mayor presides over BOMA, but all members have equal voting rights. The board adopts all ordinances, town policies and the annual budget. Advisory commissions and committees are created and members are appointed by the board to serve on them. However, the mayor appoints members of the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission. The Board meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at Town Hall. These meetings are open to the public.

KARNS VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT In west Knox County, the Karns Volunteer Fire Department operates four fire stations covering 60 square miles, with certified firefighting volunteers. Non-emergency calls may be directed to 691-1333; emergency calls 911.
KNOXVILLE VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD The KVRS provides rescue and emergency medical.
The Knox County Sheriff ’s Office provides patrol services primarily for the county outside the Knoxville city limits, and to Farragut, since the Town does not employ a police force. The department also serves criminal and civil warrants throughout the county, and staffs the Knox County Detention Facility, which can be reached at 281-6700. Within Farragut, the sheriff ’s office has an active role. Crime prevention officers are available to assist residents in forming neighborhood watch organizations. The sheriff ’s office provides instructions on how to have an effective neighborhood watch and customized signs for the watch area. For businesses, the sheriff ’s office offers the Business Locator System Program. Four digits are displayed on participating businesses and those numbers, as well as the corresponding owners’ names and phone numbers, are kept on file at the E-911 office. If an emergency occurs at a business, the officer can give a 911 operator the locator number and the operator can reach the business owner. Chief Ron Chamberlain is commander of the patrol division and handles organized traffic enforcement. He can assign radar enforcement or additional patrol coverage to an area if people have concerns about drivers speeding, running stop signs or committing other violations in their neighborhoods. Offices are located in the City-County Building in downtown Knoxville.

Voter Registration To register to vote in Knox County, a person must be 18 years old, a resident of Tennessee for at least 20 days and have a permanent address in Knox County. To register to vote, a person must provide the county with a Social Security number and a birthdate. A person may register to vote by going to the Knox County Election Commission office at Room 218 of the Knox County Courthouse, 300 Main St., or by obtaining a voter registration form at any post office and mailing it. Tennessee has a permanent voter registration system. Voters need to re-register when they change counties of residence, haven’t voted in four years or have legally changed their names, as in marriage. A move within a city or county requires only a change of address on the voter registration form within 90 days of moving. Most polling places are handicapped-accessible. If a polling place isn’t, handicapped voters can vote at the Election Commission office during the early-voting season (generally 20 days to five days before election) and on election day. Handicapped voters wishing to cast a ballot on election day need to make arrangements with the Election Commission within 30 days of the election. If a voter is homebound, his or her name can be put on a permanent absence list. A written request, along with a doctor’s letter confirming the fact that the patient is homebound, is needed to be put on the list. Voters on the list are mailed a form every election to be returned if they wish to vote. A ballot is sent to the voter, and the person returns the completed ballot to the Election Commission by mail. The Election Commission also goes to nursing homes and hospitals on election day to help people vote. For more information, call the commission at 215-2480, www.knoxcounty.org/election FYI • AUGUST 29, 2013 • 11

Drivers’ licenses must be renewed every five years, on any driver birthday that ends in a 5 or a 0 (i.e., age 20, 25, 30, etc.).
