The Crossville city council meets in a work session Tuesday evening April 3 at 5 PM and will discuss items including the purchase of the Handle Mill property, a change in how police officers are scheduled and a change to the way water leaks that are the responsibility of customers are handled.
Crossville City Hall
The meeting will be held in the third-floor conference room #317. For the third month in a row, the topic of the purchase of the Old Handle Mill property off of Webb Avenue is up for discussion. The city offered $225,000 for the property last month and is seeking to purchase the railroad right of way connected to the property. The owner of the property, Ronnie Webb sent a letter to the city with a counteroffer for the sale of the property.

In a letter dated March 22, Webb said being a local he would like to help make Crossville better. He said he had already contacted the railroad to tell them he supports the city's acquisition of their property.
Webb's letter proposes that the price of the 3-acre property be established by a single commercial appraisal by a mutually agreed to a professional appraiser. The cost of the appraisal up to $3,500 would be deducted from the sale price. In addition, the seller would pay up to $1,000 of closing costs and Webb would accept 20 percent down with the balance on a note of 3 to 5 years at prime plus 2 percent.

Council will discuss a change in Crossville police officers work schedule. Officers have been working 12-hour shifts 4 days a week and having a 3 day weekend every other week. The proposed change will go to a 10-hour shift “to help with coverage.” According to the agenda, the officer's annual pay will not change but hourly wages would. The department has lost a number of officers in the last several months.
Council will discuss and consider the ServeLine program that is essentially an insurance program to cover water leaks for customers. Council heard a presentation on the program in February and a proposal from the company has been given to the city. A small charge would be added to each water bill and up to certain limits, any large water leak bills would be paid by the insurance.
The council must look at limits and options and decide if the program makes sense for the city.
Other items on the agenda for discussion include the evaluation of the city manager Greg Wood after all the council members have rated Wood on 10 areas of responsibility. The scores average 4.03 for all the ratings.
The agenda also includes a discussion on changing the city ordinance on restrictions and buildings for liquor stores, a discussion of suggested changes to tournament perks and fees recommended by the Sports and Events Council and a change in the administration of the city's TML insurance program.
