Crossville City Council meets Tuesday
October 8 for their regular monthly meeting at Crossville City Hall.
The council will meet as the Audit
Committee at 5:15 in room 317, followed by a 5:50 PM public hearing
on annexation progress and the regular agenda at 6 PM in the council
Chamber. All the meetings are open to the public.
Council will take up the Habitat
Conservation Plan after the County Commission voted to end their
participation in the program. The council discussed the matter
briefly at their work session and must decide if they want to
continue the program in the city's jurisdiction or end the program all
together.
Also, a decision on moving forward with the permitting required for raising Meadow Park Lake Dam is also under
consideration on the October agenda. Greg Davenport with J.R.
Wauford & Company gave a presentation on the Raw Water Capacity
Master Plan at the most recent work session. The presentation gave
an overview of the work the firm has been doing to discuss a path
forward including raising the Meadow Park Lake Dam.
