Recreation Dept. reorganization by Hill may have gone against city charter without formal council approval.

It has come to light that the reorganization of the city's recreation department made by interim city manager Steve Hill may have been a violation of the city's charter and that such reorganization should have gone before council for approval in an open meeting.

Former interim city manager Steve Hill

Hill was recently removed from the interim city manager position he had held since April 2016 after the actions and other problems came to public light under a personnel complaint filed by recreation director Tammie French.  While the personnel board decided some of the complaints made by French had merit, they were filed too late for action to be taken.  

Crossville Parks and Recreation director Tammie French

French recently requested an investigation into harassment of her by the now fired recreation secretary Amy Hester and marketing director Billy Loggins that used an in house city messaging system to allegedly undermine French. 

Changes made by Hill included moving the Palace Theatre operation and the Crossville Depot to be under the supervision of city marketing director Billy Loggins.  In addition, the parks department maintenance personnel were taken out from the supervision of Tammie French and placed under the public works department.  

Interim city manager Lee Lawson said that the changes made by Mr. Hill were currently under review but no changes have been made at the current time to undo the reorganization yet.  Lawson said he interpreted the city charter as saying council approval was required but he was waiting for an opinion from city attorney Will Ridley.    

The Crossville city charter says in Article XVI section 1 (1)  "Within the framework established by this charter, the administrative organization of the city shall be organized into departments of general government, finance, and such other departments necessary to provide health, welfare, police, recreational, fire, public works, utilities and other municipal services as shall be provided in a plan of administrative organization to be developed by the City Manager and submitted to the council for approval." (emphasis added)

Lawson said it is possible that the changes may be left in place for a new city manager to decide what needs to be done but a final decision has not yet been made.  



Crossville Resident makes case to council to at least consider hiring David Rutherford back as city manager

With the top six city manager candidate pool down to only 3 left, a letter to council members from Crossville resident Liz Denton has come to light encouraging them to hire David Rutherford back.

Crossville has been without a professional city manager for 9 months since Rutherford was forced out in April 2016. 

Former Crossville city manager David Rutherford

Liz Denton is a Crossville resident who has been involved in the Horizon Initiative but her letter dated January 24 and addressed to all 5 members of the council states she is writing as a concerned and engaged citizen as well as a professional with 30 years experience in the area of organizational psychology 

Denton states, "In two years' worth of my observing both work sessions and Council meetings, it is clear that the different roles of Council (Board of Directors) and City Manager (CEO/President) are not always respected or followed. I question if this occurs because of a lack of clarity or understanding about the differing roles, or, perhaps more problematically, because of a lack of acceptance of this division of roles. Either way, this issue may be part of our city's history of a ridiculous amount of turnover of city managers."

She continues offering the following recommendation, "Since we're at the very beginning of a new year and a new Council and will soon have a new City Manager, professionally I would recommend the Council have a full analysis, discussion and agreement on the specific roles and responsibilities of the Council and the City Manager. There seems to be underlying misunderstanding and disagreement on these issues that by their very existence will create dysfunction and chaos and mistrust on the part of Council members and definitely mistrust on the part of citizens (and, ultimately, it will continue the dysfunctional pattern of city manager turnover)."

Denton said she felt that the manager candidates currently under consideration did not have the experience or qualifications of previous manager David Rutherford who also applied for the position.  She recommended that the council consider Rutherford for the position.  

Denton listed a number of reasons for her recommendation that council consider Rutherford:
  • There was standing-room-only attendance during the first special-called suspension meeting and full attendance during the second special-called suspension meeting. This full turnout of concerned citizens occurred despite these two meetings being called with extremely short notice and during the middle of the day, a hardship for those with daytime jobs. And, obvious to anyone listening or paying attention, the overwhelming majority of angry and upset citizens who attended (or were unable to attend but talked extensively about it afterwards) wanted him to stay on board as our City Manager.
  • He had an excellent working relationship with the majority of city employees, from department heads to office staff. At political risk to themselves, a significant number of city employees signed a petition to keep him as City Manager.
  • His two years experience as our City Manager and familiarity with our entire governance and management system would mean that no time would be wasted with a brand-new person coming on board and having to learn everything and everyone. 
  • The majority of citizens I've heard from, including in emails related to a survey I conducted last summer, believed there were no substantive reasons for his termination and who have expressed a wish that he was again our City Manager. You may not realize the anger that his termination generated among the citizenry at large, and I've heard comments related to that ever since and as recent as last week.
Denton talked about the history and her concern about "shady and sweetheart deals in Crossville's past and summed up her letter with the following statement, "Our community needs to heal. We need to collectively develop trust, optimism, citizen engagement and support of our elected officials, and more respect for citizens on the part of Council members. I strongly believe a re-hiring of David Rutherford would help heal the relationship of our Council and our citizenry and would show such good faith on the part of this new Council that the majority of citizens would rally round and support the Council. We could all move forward working together to solve our problems and realize more of the potential of our very wonderful community."

Cumberland Co. Schools delayed for Monday morning

Cumberland County schools will be on a two hour delay Monday January 30.


Arrest made in Deck Road body discovery. Man charged.

An investigation by Special Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, the Cookeville Police Department and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, has resulted in the indictment of a Jackson County man on a murder charge.
At the request of 13th District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, on December 18, 2016, TBI Special Agents began investigating the discovery of a body on a logging road off Deck Road in western Cumberland County. The victim was ultimately identified as Donna Roam of Sparta. During the course of the investigation, Agents developed information that led them to a suspect and location in Jackson County, at which time 15th District Attorney General Tommy Thompson’s office also became involved. The investigation led Agents to Bobby Dale Haney as the individual responsible for Donna Roam’s death.
On Friday, the Jackson County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Haney with one count of First Degree Murder. Early Saturday morning, Haney was arrested during a traffic stop by Jackson County deputies. He was booked into the Jackson County Jail and is being held without bond.

Crossville plans for roads and recreation in 1975-76

Interesting old planning documents:


Old Crossville documents for street plans and recreation from the mid 1970s.

Plan for what is now Garrison Park even in 1976 shows removal of the old grandstand.

Big plans were considered for the Community Complex, much of which
never became reality.




Snow could cause travel problems Sunday night and Monday morning according NOAA.

NOAA has issued a special weather statement about possible snow accumulation late this weekend.

File Photo

Patchy flurries or very light snow will develop across Middle Tennessee late tonight. A couple of slick spots could develop by daybreak Sunday, but should improve quickly Sunday morning as temperatures rise above freezing. 
Through the day Sunday, there will be scattered rain and snow showers. No major travel problems are expected with temperatures above freezing. By Sunday evening, temperatures will fall, and precipitation will change to all snow. Most of the mid-state will have snowfall amounts ranging from just flurries to a dusting. However, locations northeast of Interstate 24 will have greater accumulation potential, with around 1 inch expected for the Upper Cumberland Region. 

Higher elevations of the Plateau could have 1 to 2 inches of snowfall Sunday evening. A Winter Weather Advisory may become necessary for these areas as travel problems could develop across Middle Tennessee, especially Sunday night. Temperatures will be in the 20s Sunday night, so any travel problems could impact Monday morning work and school travel.

A hazordous weather statment has also been released;

THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. 

THERE IS A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. ONLY A DUSTING IS EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH A FEW SLICK SPOTS COULD DEVELOP BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. 

CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE AS TEMPERATURES PUSH ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK. 

ANOTHER PERIOD OF SNOW IS EXPECTED LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MOST OF THE MID-STATE WILL HAVE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS RANGING FROM JUST FLURRIES TO A DUSTING. HOWEVER...LOCATIONS NORTHEAST OF INTERSTATE 24 WILL HAVE GREATER ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL...WITH AROUND 1 INCH EXPECTED FOR THE UPPER CUMBERLAND REGION. HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE PLATEAU COULD HAVE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOWFALL SUNDAY EVENING.

 A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BECOME NECESSARY FOR THESE AREAS AS TRAVEL PROBLEMS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE, ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT.

POLICE ANNOUNCE INCREASED DUI ENFORCEMENT DURING SUPER BOWL WEEKEND

Crossville Police Department is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) to enhance impaired-driving enforcement during the Super Bowl weekend. The THSO’s Booze It & Lose It campaign is a statewide mobilization to prevent impaired-driving crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

The Crossville Police Department will be conducting areas of saturations along the highways within our jurisdiction. These saturations will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, February 3, and will until Sunday, February 5, at 11:59 p.m.
                                                                                                                                   
“We will be aggressively patrolling our streets by conducting saturation areas throughout the city of Crossville in an effort to save a life from D.U.I. drivers.” Said Capt. Larry Qualls.



Increased state and local messaging about the dangers of drunk driving, coupled with sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols, aim to drastically reduce alcohol-impaired driving.

“During Super Bowl weekend last year, there were 76 crashes and eight fatalities related to impaired driving across Tennessee,” said THSO Director Vic Donoho. “During the 2015 Super Bowl weekend, there were 77 crashes and six fatalities related to impaired driving. This year, we want zero. Let’s work together to make sure everyone gets home safely.”

A single DUI conviction can cost an individual $5,000 or more, in addition to jail time. An offender could also be required to attend drug and alcohol treatment or to install an ignition interlock device inside his/her vehicle. Any penalty imposed by law pales in comparison to the injury or death of a loved one.

The THSO provides grant funding to support Crossville Police Department efforts during the Booze It & Lose Itenforcement campaign. For more information about the THSO, visit www.tntrafficsafety.org or contact Arriale Tabson at Arriale.Tabson@TN.gov.

CROSSVILLE FLASHBACK: Who remembers the lights on the courthouse tower?


Photo taken at Sunset on January 16, 2002.
The Cumberland County Courthouse tower was outlined in lights for a time.
The project was funded by the Business and Professional Women. 


Crossville Flashback: Fifteen Years Ago--Crossville City Council reviews 2001/2002 goals

(Fifteen Years Ago the city council discussed accomplishments for 2001 and goals for the coming year of 2002.  Some interesting projects are discussed and several people who have made news recently are in this report.)

The Crossville city council reviewed last year’s goals for the city and looked at new ones for 2002 in their work session Tuesday night.

Crossville city manager Jack Miller started out by presenting a recap on how the city fared on accomplishing the goals council set for last year. Miller told the council the city had substantially completed their goals for 2001 and most of those not completed have been carried over to 2002. Miller said he felt “that on a scale of one to ten, last year was a nine and one half.” 

Then city manager Jack Miller addresses the January 16, 2002 Council meeting.

Councilman Boyd Wyatt agreed 2001 was a good year giving it a score of nine saying, “It was a trying year and we had a lot on our plate. But I feel like we’ve done well.”

Councilman Earl Dean agreed with Wyatt saying, “You couldn’t ask for more.”

Councilman Carl Duer, who has only been on the council a short time quipped, “The last three months have gone well.” Councilman Billy Loggins agreed with Duer.

Crossville Mayor J. H. Graham commented, “The city needs infrastructure in the right time frame to get jobs here. This council has started and plans to continue.”

Of the 2001 goals, Miller said more city streets were resurfaced than originally expected and more sidewalks were constructed than the goals outlined. The city staff is also continuing to study different ways to work with the non-profit entities that have been given donations by the city in the past. Miller said he would present an analysis of the matter to the council at a future meeting.

Some of the goals not reached last year will be moved into the 2002 goals. The city will continue working on reviewing the city charter to update it. The city is also continuing to work on street lighting in busy and congested areas. Some of the street lighting is under construction now in the industrial and recreation park area.

Some of the goals put on hold either temporarily or for good include the soccer complex. While this project is not dead, council is waiting on the soccer organizers to see if they have a better location for the facility then on O’Brien Drive. The soccer organizers told council last year the site was not big enough plus there was the expensive proposition of dealing with wetlands located on the proposed site.

Completely off the table for now is the Azalea Street extension from West Avenue to Elmo Drive. Residents in the area complained and while the project is designed, council stopped the project.

Goals for the New Year discussed include completing the process to become designated as a Governors Three Star Community. Mayor Graham said the Three Star program relates preserving existing jobs and helping create new family income as well as improving the quality of life by strong leadership. The city also plans to update the comprehensive and growth strategies plans.

Council also discussed continuing the implementation of the city’s economic development strategy to balance the perspectives between industrial and commercial development. Also mentioned was additional ways to increase business recruitment for the community.

The city also will implement new financial software system to streamline and secure the city’s financial operation. The process is already underway.

One of the biggest projects facing the council during the coming year is reform of the city solid waste collection and management system. The contract the city has with the private hauler expires this fall and currently efforts are underway to work on the changes needed. Council will meet in works session to discuss the matter Tuesday January 22 at 6 PM.

The city also plans an extension of low-pressure sewer lines along Highway 70-N to Inez Wren School and work with Mrs. Smiths (Flowers) Bakery to complete the sewer pre-treatment system proposed by the company. Mayor Graham said the project would allow additional production to take place at the bakery with possible additional jobs.

Goals for the fire department include requesting an ISO rating evaluation with the goal of receiving a class 2 rating and evaluate possible sites for a new fire station to serve the western parts of the city.

The city is also looking at having the police department evaluated for potential accreditation by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

For leisure and cultural resources, the city’s goals are to complete interior infrastructure for the Palace Theater and expand promotions and programming. Steve Hill told the council that the movie screen has been hung in the Palace and he hopes to start showing movies at the renovated theater in mid February. They are investigating whether the movie “If I were King” starring Ronald Coleman is available in 35 millimeter. It was the first move ever shown at the Palace when it originally opened in 1938.



Council also wants to do additional public relations on the impact that the Centennial recreation park has on the community especially the economic impact.

EXCLUSIVE: City marketing director Billy Loggins questioned on emails, describes recent news reports as bad publicity for city

Even though his name was part of some of the recent bad news reports reflecting on the city, Crossville marketing director Billy Loggins said he felt that those news reports could have harmed the reputation of the City of Crossville.

Crossville Marketing Director Billy Loggins

Loggins made those comments Tuesday morning in an interview where he was asked about some unusual emails that were part of those requested in connection with the recent personnel complaint that included intercity instant messages and emails between some of the parties involved.


In a review of the emails between former interim city manager Steve Hill and Mr. Loggins several troubling discoveries were made including an email from Hill to Loggins in July 2016 that had an image of Mayor James Mayberry with the wording underneath saying, “Mayor Methberry is he high or just incompetent or both.” According to Loggins the email came from a council member to Mr. Hill who forwarded it on to Mr. Loggins' city email. The email was not sent from Hill's city email but a personal Gmail account identified as Mr. Hill's.

Image attached to email from Steve Hill to Billy Loggins in July 2016
Similar to ugly signs put out after November city election


Loggins stated that at the time he verbally said that he thought the image could create bad publicity for the city. He added, “To be honest Jim, some of what you're doing is bad publicity for the city.” Loggins continued, “You know those emails were absolutely ridiculous. And if anybody thinks they can make some mileage over those, well good luck to them.”

Loggins also complained about the council meeting Monday that lead to the removal of Steve Hill as interim city manager saying, “Why didn't they just go to Steve privately and just say 'Steve, come on, why don't you just go on now.' Why just keep the circus in town? I don't get it.”

Loggins addressed the move of the Palace Theatre to marketing and that it was a big topic of discussion at the personnel board meeting, “but that's exactly where it needs to be. No questions about it.” Loggins was asked if he would feel unhappy if some of his responsibilities were removed from his control without ever speaking to him about it prior to such action and he agreed that he would.

Loggins added that if there had been a marketing department at the time the city took over the Palace that it should have gone there. In addition, Loggins stated that there was no additional money involved to him in the move and that he sponsors events at the Palace all the time.

One email that was from Loggins to Steve Hill included an attachment that appeared to be a proof of a proposed billboard created by Flynn Signs Co. The billboard only listed three of the 5 city council members stating that “City Council Members Jesse Kerley, Pamala Harris, Danny Wyatt Proudly supports FFG (Fairfield Glade) Community & state golf championships.”


Sign proof that includes only three memebers of city council

Loggins was asked why there were only three members listed on the sign and what was the plan to use the sign? He said one of the council members, and he said he couldn't remember who, wanted something put up after one of the votes concerning funding of golf tournaments and that council member planned to pay for it. “Nothing ever came out of it,” according to Loggins.

The third email in question set up a meeting between several people involved in recognizing the late Boyd Wyatt with an award in his name at the Crossville airport. During the airport fly-in in September 2016 when the award was presented, then candidate for council J. H. Graham III acted as the emcee for the program.
The email set up a meeting at a local coffee shop that included consultant Don Napier, interim city manager Steve Hill, airport manager Chris Bennett, councilman Danny Wyatt, Loggins and Graham.


Loggins was asked how that came about. He said “It was just decided between several people that nobody knew Boyd any better then J. H. as he had worked with him for years.” He also said that Mr. Wyatt's widow Camilla Wyatt had sort of requested that. In addition according to Loggins Mayor Mayberry was aware of the plans and the award.

Tammie French requesting harassment investigation over personnel violations. Hester dismissed

Crossville Parks and Recreation director Tammie French has requested a further investigation into harassment against her by former interim city manager Steve Hill, marketing director Billy Loggins and parks and recreation secretary Amy Hester.

Crossville Parks and Recreation director Tammie French

As of Thursday, Mrs. Hester is no longer employed in the position of Parks department secretary. Mrs. French had requested Hester be dismissed in early January and again following the personnel board hearing last week.

French's email of January 16 requesting the harassment investigation was sent to Mayor James Mayberry, interim manager Steve Hill, HR director Leah Crockett and city attorney Will Ridley. Hill was removed as interim by the council on January 18.

Mr. Loggins remains as the only one still employed by the city.

Crossville Marketing director Billy Loggins

French wrote, “During the personnel board hearing it became evident that my grievance had merit, and that, had it been filed more expeditiously, more could have been done. In addition, during my time of gathering evidence, I learned that others were involved with the Interim City Manager and ugly, discriminatory and inappropriate comments were made about me. Since the City Manager is one of the people involved, I come to you for help.”

Former Crossville interim city manager Steve Hill

French said that the actions of the three, “Violate many points of the City of Crossville Personnel Policy Handbook in areas including ethics, misuse of city property, and violation of the city's computer use policy.” French pointed out that Hill got the same information she got a day later but Hill had taken no action to address the violations and had rejected French's request to fire Mrs. Hester based on insolence and insubordination.

French concludes, “I am respectfully requesting a formal employee relations investigation be conducted by the City Attorney or an attorney the city hires who can perform such a task.”

Crossville council approves dismissal of interim manager Steve Hill and appoints IT director Lee Lawson

Action in a special called meeting changed the person holding interim city manager by a majority vote of the Crossville city council Tuesday.

The special meeting was called by Mayor James Mayberry on Saturday to consider the dismissal of interim city manager Steve Hill. Council member Pam Harris was not present for the meeting.

Mayor Mayberry opened the meeting commenting, “I hope that the present council members consider the citizens and the employees of Crossville in the importance of this meeting's outcomes.” Mayberry then moved, “Due to pending litigation, revelations of grievances and the recent personnel board meeting and insecurity among employees that it is in the best interest of the city to terminate Mr. Hill at the close of business today.” He continued, “I don't feel that we have to start discussion at day one of Mr. Hill's management employment and controversy, but we can if we need to. Details of employee conflicts at Parks and Rec, conflicts and lawsuits involved with our police chief and potential future lawsuits should be familiar to all the council members. My motion stand to potential end these conflicts today.”

Council member Scot Shanks supported Mayberry's motion.

Council and interim manager Steve Hill listen as 
HR director Leah Crockett answers questions. 

Council member J. H. Graham asked if there was a report from the personnel board concerning the complaint heard the previous week. The finding of the personnel board was discussed and the action by the board to follow the recommendation of the recommendations of the Municipal Technical Advisory Board (MTAS) that there were actions that were grievances but the time to file a complaint had expired. The board further recommended that there be better communication between the city manager and the department heads.

Councilman Danny Wyatt asked city attorney Will Ridley if the council could hold pending litigation against an individual?

Ridley answered, “The decision to hire of fire a city manager was solely a political decision. However you come to that decision is at your determination. It can be made for any reason.

Wyatt continued that he needed some clarification. “I don't understand the knee jerk reaction here in the fourth quarter at the two minute warning? We're doing interviews tonight.

Mayberry responded to Wyatt, “I believe the last time a city manager was relieved of his duties, your comments on that one were you just lost faith in his management abilities. I have lost faith in Mr. Hill's management abilities.”

Councilman Shanks pointed out that the personnel board was just a small part of the reason for the action.

Mayberry added that the latest unacceptable act of consorting with other employees and disrespecting and intimidation of department heads I feel is unacceptable and I don't think we need anybody's ruling on that because we've seen the evidence in black and white.

Shanks commented, “I like Steve. I've known him for a long time, but to keep Steve as city manaer is not a business decision, that's a personal decision.” He added that even though he hopes to have a manager hired soon, with candidates dropping out it could be three or four months before it could be finalized. “I just feel we're putting Crossville at risk if we keep Steve in as city manager,” Shanks concluded.

Wyatt voiced that he had not heard some firm evidence of that fact and added that he would like to hear some to prove what Hill did wrong.

Mayberry answered that as far as they know he's not broken any laws.

Graham also commented that Hill was a close personal friend but he would make the decision based on education and professionalism. He pointed out that even though Hill had applied for the full time city manager position, he was not selected for the interview process. Graham then made a motion to call for the question. That motion was approved.

On the dismissal of Hill, Wyatt voted no while Mayberry and Shanks voted yes. Graham passed on the first call and then entered a yes vote. The motion was approved.

Council then moved to a discussion of appointing a new interim manager but that created more issues as there was not an item on the agenda but it was listed in the agenda text on the discussion of dismissing Hill.

Mayberry explained that he had given the matter a lot of thought and he felt a good person who was involved in many city activities and was in a non political, neutral position was IT department head Lee Lawson.

Graham said that he was not prepared to discuss the replacement of the interim city manager and did not think that subject was part of the agenda.

Mayberry said that the replacement was germane to the agenda item and the council could make an exception under the standing rules with a 2/3 vote of council. Mayberry then moved to appoint Lawson until the permanent city manager can be hired. Shanks supported the motion.

Council moved forward to suspend the standing rules and the motion was approved with Mayberry, Graham and Shanks approving and Wyatt opposed.

The motion for appointing Lawson returned to the floor and was approved again by a three to one vote with Wyatt opposed.

Mayor James Mayberry, right, swears in Lee Lawson 
as Interim city manager.

CROSSVILLE MAN ARRESTED, CHARGED IN EARLY MORNING SHOOTING DEATH


Information from Office of Bryant Dunaway, District Attorney General
A joint investigation by Special Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Crossville Police Department has resulted in the arrest of a man in connection to the shooting death of a woman in his home early Saturday morning.

At the request of 13th District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, TBI Agents joined the investigation into the death of 21-year-old Kelsey Nicole Brady. During the course of the investigation, authorities developed information that Michael Dale and another male had an altercation inside a home in the 1000 block of Old Mail Road. During the exchange, Dale fired a shotgun inside the residence. Projectiles from the gunshot perforated an interior wall, striking and killing Brady in an adjacent room of the residence.

Authorities arrested Dale (DOB 10-4-90) and charged him with one count of Aggravated Assault Resulting in Death, one count of Reckless Homicide, and one count of Aggravated Assault. At the time of this release, he was being held in the Cumberland County Jail on $200,000 bond.

Messages between Tammie French and Steve Hill
Tammie French(8/4/2016 3:46 PM): I am looking at trying something new at Centennial Park and would like to know if funds from our budget can be used to pay for it.

We have not really gotten into any type of programming before, but I would like to try some early morning Tai Chi classes free to the public. We could pull money from our Public Relations line item if you both salute it. I have not negotiated a fee with an instructor yet until I get a go ahead, although we have discussed having the classes.
Steve Hill(8/5/2016 8:03 AM): I am not sure if that is a good direction to go in or not. But if you want to get the costs and such together we can look into it.
Tammie French(8/5/2016 8:16 AM): Ok
Steve Hill(8/5/2016 8:18 AM): Do we have a tournament this weekend?

Amy Hester(8/11/2016 9:28 AM): I just had one of the pickle ball players to come by. he's had the courts scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm-8pm for about a month now. He wants to extend the time to 5pm -9pm for 10 weeks cause he has 24 people wanting to play on those nights!! We are going to need more pickle ball courts.
Tammie French(8/11/2016 10:30 AM): We may have to designate certain times only for pickleball and certain times only for tennis.
Amy Hester(8/11/2016 10:31 AM): ok.
Tammie French(8/11/2016 10:32 AM): That might drive a few of them back to FFG. I feel like they are going to smother out the tennis players.

More from August 11 2016
Amy Hester(8/11/2016 9:27 AM): I just said one of the pickle ball players to come by. he's had the courts scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm-8pm for about a month now. He wants to extend the time to 5pm -9pm for 10 weeks cause he has 24 people wanting to play on those nights!! that's just one guy that has a regular reservation and there's others. pickle ball is booming!

Amy Hester(8/11/2016 9:44 AM): I haven't heard any. I also haven't had any reservations from tennis players either.
Steve Hill(8/11/2016 9:53 AM): interesting
Amy Hester(8/11/2016 9:55 AM): I had read an article several months back that called pickle ball "the fastest growing sport in the US" and went as far as to say it wasn't if it would come to your community but when. Johnny Shanks had been in last year asking for it. it's bigger than what I realized. a lot of older tennis players are playing it cause it's not as hard on the joints. lol not as much running.
Steve Hill(8/11/2016 9:56 AM): makes sense

I've been hearing complaints from teams that practice on Sundays that can't get in the restrooms at Turner cause they're locked.

August 25, 2016
Amy Hester(8/25/2016 8:11 AM): Hey, I sent this to Tammie yesterday and she never answered me. Yesterday afternoon after she had left, Angie called back again. I think they are wanting something for this weekend's preseason tourney. do you have any suggestions? Tony said we can do whatever for this weekend. I don't think we can get a sign made like Angie suggested now. But could we do something like putting her number in the center circle of the field? I don't really know. “Amy Hester (8/24/2016 8:21 AM): Angie called yesterday evening and Hailey Randolph that was killed on the 4 wheeler played for CRYSA. She was even at camp this summer. Angie is wanting to know if they can do something on the U15 field/goal to honor her memory. Said her jersey # was 15. They can't renumber the field, but are wondering what else they might could do.”
Steve Hill(8/25/2016 11:47 AM): I would be good with doing whatever they want. But sadly they should go through Tammie. Let me know what happens.
Amy Hester(8/25/2016 11:51 AM): Thank you. I'll ask her if/when she comes in. Her and Rick are both out today.
Steve Hill(8/25/2016 2:16 PM): where is she?
Amy Hester(8/25/2016 2:17 PM): she came in between 12:30 and 1:00. she's gone now to CH and Public Works.
Amy Hester(8/25/2016 2:21 PM): Angie sent out a text to a big group including the two of us about 12:15 asking the coaches of the older groups to meet at the center circle and have a moment of silence. I asked if she read the text and well, it wasn't a very nice polite response to me. she then said she didn't like the idea of doing anything cause she didn't want our parks to become a cemetery for people.
Steve Hill(8/25/2016 2:33 PM): what a sweetheart!!
Amy Hester(8/25/2016 2:34 PM): oh yes! so caring!

Billy Loggins(8/26/2016 10:17 AM): that might have with some park employees??

Amy Hester(8/26/2016 10:19 AM): I thought at first he might have known about the current rumors of some employees moving to public works but she didn't mention that at all.
Billy Loggins(8/26/2016 10:19 AM): ok just checking to see it that is what ir was
Amy Hester(8/26/2016 10:20 AM): she said she's made peace with her losing her job

Billy Loggins(8/26/2016 10:25 AM): 110% absolutely not happening I would leave if they made me take that
Amy Hester(8/26/2016 10:26 AM): ha
Billy Loggins(8/26/2016 10:30 AM): do you think the past City Mgr. put him up to do that?
Amy Hester(8/26/2016 10:34 AM): I don't know. He told her Jesse was against getting rid of Mr. Rutherford then he put together the idea of hiring Steve that's when Jesse decided to fire him.
