Council to hold Work Session Monday due to Election Day to discuss BOE sewer lines and Bluebirds and Sunday Liquor Sales.

With election day on Tuesday, the Crossville city council will hold their monthly work session a day early on Monday, April 30 and start work in earnest on the 2018-19 fiscal year budget.

The work session starts at 5 PM and will be in the third-floor conference room at Crossville city hall.

The final item on the agenda is the presentation of the budget by city manager Greg Wood. While staff has been working on the document for a number of weeks, where the budget stands currently has not been made public yet.

Other items for discussion on the work session agenda include contract agreement modifications between the city and the Cumberland County Board of Education (BOE) concerning sewer lines for North, South and Brown Elementary schools. The new agreements would transfer ownership, control and the responsibility for maintenance of the lines to the city. The BOE has requested that the city take over the lines.

Council will also consider a request from the director of schools to help pay for the drainage project for the Cumberland County High School football field and track that has been a problem for many years. The total project is $435,000 and parts of the project including the storm inlet structure and the mainline storm sewer are broken out separately at $10,000 and $133,000.

The city's director of engineering recommends the city reimburse the schools for the inlet structure as the city's pipe connects to one side and the schools to the other side. In addition, it is unclear who owns the current structure that is partly in the right of way and the grate is substandard and would not support a vehicle if one left the roadway and that could be considered a city liability.

Council will also consider a request received to name the Eastern Bluebird as the city bird. A petition has been submitted to the city requesting that the bird be designated as the official bird of the city.

Council will consider the engineering contract for the sealing and striping of the Crossville Memorial Airport runway and taxiway. The cost of the contract is on a TDOT grant with the city's portion fiver percent of the cost.

Council will also consider a grant application to the Department of Justice to fund 50 percent of the cost of police vests for the department.


Council will consider a change to the city's liquor ordinance to allow for sales on Sunday as has been recently approved by the state.
