The city of Crossville is looking to do
some major repairs and upgrades to the main maintenance hanger at
Crossville Memorial Airport including roof repair, insulation,
lighting upgrades and more.
The total cost of the project and
engineering is estimated to be around $200,000 with 95 percent of the
cost to be covered by the Tennessee Department of Transportation
grants. The portion of the cost expected to be paid by the city
taxpayers should be about $10,000.
Crossville City Council members include J. H. Graham,
Rob Harrison, Mayor James Mayberry, Art Gernt
and Scot Shanks.
The project includes some asbestos
removal, roof coating, new skylights and roof coating. In
addition, interior repairs and wall protection and floor replacement.
The final approval of the engineering
contract and acceptance of the some of the TDOT grant funds are on
the Council's September agenda.
Council's September meeting is set for
September 10 and the evening begins with the 5 PM meeting of the
Audit Committee, followed by the Beer Board at 5:45 PM, a public
hearing at 5:50 on the annexation of a parcel on Sweetgum Circle, and
the Solicitation Board at 5:55 PM. The regular agenda starts at 6:00
PM.
Council will recognize the lifesaving
efforts of Mr. Frank Vitale following a vehicle and motorcycle
accident on July 17. In addition, the student of the month and
suicide prevention moth will be recognized and Tami French with the
city Parks and Recreation Department will be recognized for induction
into the National Softball Association Tennessee Hall of Fame.
Council is scheduled to discuss the
price on the property in the Interchange Business Park with the
construction ready pad. Several consultants have indicated that the
price may be too high and the city is not getting consideration
because of the costs. City Manager Greg Wood will lead a discussion
into an incentive matrix he had previously developed.
After hearing a report on future debt
and interest rate changes, the council is looking to approve the work
on a credit rating analysis. The city is considering the possibility
of refinancing its debt and the possibility of financing the cots of
raising the dam at Meadow Park Lake as well using bonds. In order to
be ready at the right time, the credit rating must be secured and
other legal matters overcome.
A large number of routine items are
expected to receive approval under the consent agenda.
