EXCLUSIVE: Written warning to marketing director Loggins one of Hill's last acts as interim manager

Crossville marketing director Billy Loggins received a written warning placed in his personnel file two days after the Personnel Board meeting that revealed a long string of internal instant messages between Loggins and Parks and Recreation secretary Amy Hester.

The warning is signed by then interim city manager Steve Hill and Loggins and is dated Friday January 13.  Under supervisor's remarks is the notation, "Talked with Mr. Loggins about appropriate use of the city's instant messaging system."  The action may have been one of the last official acts by Hill since the next week was a holiday Monday followed by a called meeting a noon Tuesday when Hill was dismissed as interim city manager.

The warning did not address the derogatory image of Crossville Mayor James Mayberry that Loggins had received in his city email from Mr. Hill in July of 2016.

Loggins Questioned about messages and emails.

Amy Hester lost her job the following week after the messages came to light and she was found to have been doing work for Loggin's without the authorization of her supervisor Tammie French.  French still has a personnel complaint on file against Loggins for his actions.
