Crossville City Council expected to reestablish Airport Committee at Tuesday meeting.

The Crossville City Council meets for their regular February meeting Tuesday the 12th at 6 PM.

The council will also meet as the audit committee at 5:15 PM and as the Beer Board at 5:45 PM. The Beer Board will consider approval of beer licenses for the new Speedway on Elmore Rd. and for Bootleggers on Highway 70-E.

Items on the regular agenda include action on the formation of a new airport committee. An airport committee had existed for many years but was abolished by a previous city council 11 years ago. The new committee has been requested by airport users.

Council will also consider the addition of a new position at Meadow Park Lake. Meadow Park Lake Department and the Lake Commission have requested a full-time year-round position to be added to the existing staff at the Lake. Currently, the staff consists of a Lake Manager and one part-time year-round employee at 30 hours a week. May through Labor Day, 2-3 seasonal employees are hired at a total of 54 hours a week. Problems with staffing are created when one employee is ill or off work.

City Manager Greg Wood is recommending to the council that they authorize the city to put out RFPs for the operation of the Depot and the Amphitheater. Wood told the council during the work session that he'd had some contact from folks interested in operating them.

The city is looking at the need to repaint the water tank at the Homesteads and will request costs to repaint the tank as is and also with a bulldog representing the Homestead Elementary School. The city is discussing a cost-sharing with the school if the change is approved.


Council is expected to reappoint the current administrative hearing officers, Ivy Gardner, and Tiffany Lyon. Administrative hearing officers deal with code violations like the recently demolished Inn of the Cumberlands.
