The council's agenda includes a presentation from Greg Davenport of J. R. Wauford and Company on the raw water capacity master plan. Also, an update on the city employee classification and compensation plan will be presented for review and discussion.

The somewhat controversial Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is also on the agenda and council will look at the next steps for the program. The HCP has been discussed since 2007 as a way to not have the endangered species act affect the city's long-planned expansion of Meadow Park Lake.

Council will consider a request from Glen Clark, the new owner of the former Horace Wyatt “tree-house” the property at the end of Beehive Lane for a waterline extension. Because the property is outside the city limits, the property owner must pay for the cost of the water extension that has been recommended by the planning commission. The cost is estimated at $3,180.

The city will request the refund of over $1.1 million dollars that the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has been holding since 2010 for widening US 127-S toward the Homesteads. With the recent paving of the highway, no widening is expected for at least another 15 years and the city must formally ask for the funds to be refunded.

Council will also consider action on replacing the fence around Garrison Park with a low bid cost of $11,677. The fence was removed as part of the redevelopment project and the city was unable to get permission from the state to leave it due to the grant involved.
