Memorials, Retirement - Pigeon Forge City Manager Earlene Teaster -

This is a ceremonial resolution (HJR 542), not a policy bill. It formally recognizes Pigeon Forge City Manager Earlene Teaster for her 44-year service as city manager (1980-2025) and her 63-year career with the city starting in 1961. The resolution highlights her role in developing tourism infrastructure (including Dollywood and the Fun Time Trolley), leading economic growth, and guiding the city through crises like wildfires and the pandemic. It does not create new laws or affect any policies - it solely honors her retirement with a formal commendation from Tennessee’s General Assembly.
