After a work session and a special called meeting last week, the Crossville city council meets for their regular April meeting Tuesday, April 10.
The regular agenda starts at 6:00 PM and is preceded by the Beer Board meeting at 5:45 and the Audit Committee meeting at 5:15 PM.
Several items on the agenda have been on the council's agenda a few times recently including the proposed purchase of the old handle mill property between Thurman Avenue and Webb Avenue, a proposed merger of the city water department with the South Cumberland Utility District and sale of water to the Crab Orchard Utility District.

The city has been looking at the possible purchase of property in the downtown area for additional parking for some time and seems that the first choice is the remaining portion of the old Turner Day and Woolworth handle mill next to the library. The city is looking to purchase the property currently owned by local resident Ronnie Webb along with the railroad right of way that runs through the property.
While several offers have been discussed, during the work session the offer appears to be that the city would offer $250,00 for the property including the railroad right of way that Mr. Webb has already been negotiating to acquire.

Council will consider beginning negotiations toward a merger with the South Cumberland Utility District (SCUD). The city council has discussed the merger possibility for the last several months and what benefits might be realized to the SCUD customers and the city. The action proposed on the agenda is to approve the city manager, council member J. H. Graham and the city attorney to begin working with the utility district's board on a possible merger.
The council has also been discussing the possibility of selling water to the Crab Orchard Utility District as their water demand approaches the production capability. Because a connection between the two systems was taken up many years ago, the city is looking at the expenditure of $2,100 to tie the systems back together and allow for the sale of water.
Also on the agenda is a report from city manager Greg Wood on the progress of the retail development consulting firm r360 that the city has contracted with hoping to attract new business to Crossville. Council will also discuss the city manager's annual performance evaluation.
