The October work session of the Crossville City Council will be Tuesday, October 2 at 5 PM in the conference room on the third floor of Crossville City Hall.
Crossville City Hall
Several items relating to city employees are on the agenda including another look at restoring a bridge insurance program for those who retire early as a way to save payroll, a report on TCRS buyback from city manager Greg Wood on his recent meeting with the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System and the possibility of a wage study on city pay and responsibilities.
A true wage study has not been performed in the last 20 years according to information provided with the agenda for the meeting. In addition to wages, the proposed study will put the wages in the context of a job description to compare what the job description includes and if employees are working outside of their job description.
The study cannot be performed by the HR department as it will require a team review matters, interview employees and do a system-wide analysis. The cost of the study is expected to be between $15,000 and $20,000. The study will also look at the issue of increasing starting pay while still being fair to existing employees.

Council will also hear the recommendation of the Joint Economic and Community Development Board on the sales price of property in the Interchange Business Park where the city and county are working on a building pad for future industrial prospects. The city had previously approved a sales price of $75,000 an acre but the JECDB is recommending a price of $100,000 per acre and a minimum of at least 100 jobs at a wage rate of 10 percent more than the current local average wage.
The contract with the Tennessee Dept of Transportation for the $1.6 million downtown sidewalk project is up for approval. The city's share of the cost of the project is $325,000. The city has been looking at these improvements for many years.

Council will once again discuss pickleball courts and if converting current tennis courts into pickleball courts is the best way to go. Also on the agenda is the purchase of dog park equipment from the grant the city received earlier this year,
The subject of tethering dogs is also up for discussion on the agenda. The somewhat controversial proposal has been discussed a number of times by the council with no changes to local ordinances approved.
