The Crossville City Council holds its regular May meeting Tuesday, May 8 and the agenda could be a fairly short one.
Crossville City Council members
The meeting of the audit committee will be held at 5:15 followed by a meeting of the beer board to consider a beer license for Mr. Zips at 5:45 PM and the regular agenda starts at 6 PM.
During the council's work session held April 30, the members discussed items, most of which will be decided under the consent agenda of the regular agenda, including agreements to take over the three Board of Education (BOE) sewer lines. City manager Greg Wood explained that one of the changes that will happen under the new agreements is that the schools will start paying the outside city limits rates that are higher than they had been paying when they maintained the lines themselves. City Attorney Will Ridley said the BOE had already approved the agreements. Ridley also pointed out that the South Cumberland Utility District also had to approve the agreement for the Brown Elementary School line but he added he understood there was no problem with that and he expected it would be approved at the utility district's next meeting.
Other items discussed at the work session and under the consent agenda will name the Eastern Bluebird as the official bird of the city of Crossville. A petition was presented to the city requesting the action and it was mentioned that the state president of the Eastern Bluebird Association lives here.
An application to the Boyd Foundation for funds to improve the Crossville Dog Park is also expected to be approved. The Boyd Foundation is a new funder under the control of current Tennessee Republican Gubernatorial candidate Randy Boyd and his wife. Council is also expected to approve a contract for the engineering of the Crossville Memorial airport runway and taxiway sealing and striping project and approval of a Department of Justice grant to help pay for police protective vests.

Council will also consider a request from the Board of Education for reimbursement for part of the CCHS drainage project. The total project is $435,000 and parts of the project requested for reimbursement by the city include 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 Tim Begley has recommended the city reimburse the schools for the inlet structure as the city's drainage 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 city's right of way plus the current grate is substandard and would not support a vehicle if one left the roadway Begley said there could be a liability to the city. The discussion at the work session did not indicate the council would reimburse the higher amount for the drainage line that was entirely on the CCHS property.
