Items to be discussed include the renewal of the city employees health insurance. According to the agenda, the rate increase is under 4 percent and the smallest the city has received. Staff recommends the renewal be approved with no change in employee coverage.



Council is also scheduled to hear a report on debt and interest rates by bond consultant Larry Kidwell. The city has several loans and bonds and is looking for advice on where interest rates may be going in the future.

The Crossville Police Department is requesting council adopt the State Traffic Statute 55-3-102 on driving or moving unregistered vehicle upon the highway as a misdemeanor exception. This statute is necessary to enable the police department to cite into city court for suspended registrations.

Several actions concerning repairs to the maintenance hangar at the Crossville Memorial Airport are on the agenda. The city has received an $18,644 grant that pays 95 percent of the cost. The city's share of the project is under $1000. Also under consideration is a major repair project on the Maintenance hangar that will repair the leaking roof, add insulation and upgrade lighting. The total estimated cost is $180,000 again with the Tennessee Department of Transportation paying 95 percent of the cost and the city's share estimated at $10,000.

Council will discuss possible changes to the design of the construction pad at the Interchange Business park in order to reduce the cost. City Manager Greg Wood will lead the discussion.

Several vehicle purchases are also on the agenda as well as purchase of body armor for the SWAT team.
