A proposal has been presented by HFR Designs for an indoor recreation facility feasibility study as the city once again looks into the possibility of such an operation. The study is quoted to the city at a cost of $26,400 with the option of an architectural program for an additional $4,500.

With the local coffee shop Grinder House becoming a strong draw for live music including songwriters and artists, a proposal for a possible TV program has been discussed for production by WCTE-TV. The Grinder House's Asa Reese will be at the meeting to discuss the proposal seeking a donation of up to $10,000 for a program seeking to be along the lines of McMinnville's well known Bluegrass Underground.

With the expansion of food trucks in the area some competitive issues have come from the contractor the city uses for concessions at Crossville city parks. A new proposed contract will be discussed by city manager Greg Wood and a new contract for food trucks has also been proposed.

Also on the agenda, a discussion of the city's credit rating and bond insurance, the city's public records policy, items connected to the medical director's position, and the Community Development Block Grant application.
