The motion was seconded by Councilman May; and upon roll call the motion unanimously passed. PRESENTATIONS, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAIL Mayor Rowland stated Representative Kevin Brooks and the State of Tennessee have elected to name a portion of 25th Street after Officer Justin Maples, which was dedicated last Friday. Also, at that time signs were presented to the Maple Family. Mayor Rowland stated a letter has been received from Larry and Brenda Degata requesting final passage of Ordinance 2016-17 be delayed until June 27 so their attorney Barry Abbott has a chance to review the information. The item was removed from today’s agenda. Larry Wallace updated the City Council on the background checks for the City Manager candidates. He met with many people and will have a combined report on May 31. Councilman Estes asked about the timeline and rescheduling the June 13 Council meeting so not to lose time. Mr. Wallace stated information from Mr. Mercer should also be available on May 31 and the City Council should set their interviews thereafter. Councilman Banks stated it’s important to reaffirm the process, hiring a national search firm which generated 63 applicants that were reviewed by the Committee and narrowed to five with 2 alternates. Mr. Wallace has been to the communities and talked with several people. Councilman Banks then stated he would like to meet with Mr. Wallace separately to discuss his findings. Councilman Johnson stated he feels we should meet as a group not individually, so we all hear the same thing at the same time. Vice Mayor Poe stated he feels one on one would be the best to get a better feel. Councilman Banks then continued we have done criminal background checks, credit and social media checks, talked to people who know these candidates and not necessarily their references, except for the lady from California. Mr. Wallace stated he has had extensive discussions with her and she realizes he can’t make the trip. She has been very helpful and has had several phone interviews. Councilman Banks feels we need to interview quickly so we don’t lose them and they should come here, at their expense. Councilman Estes stated in his opinion if you watch the committee interviews you don’t have to interview them all. Mr. Wallace stated he felt the group would come at their own expense but it has not been discussed. Councilman May asked if it could be p. 130 REGULAR SESSION MAY 23, 2016 PAGE -2- MINUTE BOOK 28 narrowed down to two and we pay expenses. Councilman Banks stated he can’t at this point because he wants to make sure the successor can put a budget together. We should take the time to talk to each of them. Councilman Estes asked interviews the first full week of June? Councilman Hughes stated personally, he can eliminate the lady from California without any problem. Councilman Johnson stated she is very familiar with the area and we shouldn’t eliminate someone because of where they are from, if they are willing to come here. Councilman Hughes stated he understood she wasn’t willing to come here. Mayor Rowland stated before interviews we should receive reports from Mr. Wallace and Mr. Mercer, which could possibly eliminate someone. Roger Jenne stated you can always schedule the interviews then after you receive the reports cancel them. He then stated the committee felt the lady from California was very qualified and voted unanimously to present her to you. If you met her you might have a change of heart. We lost our top pick because of time and they took another position and it’s possible to lose more if we don’t move quickly. Councilman Estes stated the Council should meet at least on the 15th or 16th. We could interview June 6, 7 and 8. Vice Mayor Poe stated he was very disappointed in the committee, they worked hard but doesn’t understand why they didn’t consider anybody from the local level. The last two City Managers were local and did an outstanding job. That was his disappointment from the whole process. Councilman Estes stated he hopes no potential candidate would listen to what Vice Mayor Poe is saying. Roger Jenne stated the charge of the committee was to come up with the most qualified candidates for the position without regard to favor whether local, politics, friendships or relatives. We developed, with MTAS a very objective scoring criteria based on education, work experience, professional development and experience in this kind of community and each member of the committee independently scored the applicants. The scores were then combined. It would have made him really happy if a local candidate had possessed the education, training and work experience to take on this important position to take the community to a higher level. Based on the objective criteria that didn’t happen. You wanted the best candidates and that’s what you got. Vice Mayor Poe stated he still feels one main thing when he took a commitment 18 years ago when he ran for office is that he would try to buy things local and hire local, if possible. He has tried to stick to that commitment. Councilman Estes stated when we make irresponsible comments we poison the well going forward and hopes the candidates see us as a progressive board going forward. Mayor Rowland stated June 6, 7 and 8 at 3:00 and 4:15 will be the days interview will be scheduled and can be adjusted to the candidate’s schedules and a notice will be published.

REPORTS OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS Mayor Rowland stated he is appointing Bill Hamilton to the Planning Commission to fill the term of Yvonne Cannon. Councilman Banks asked that the drainage cover near the 13th Street alleyway to be looked at because a mud hole has formed. Also, the side street near there needs a little asphalt, if there’s any extra. He then complimented Jonathan Jobe and the Planning Department for the flood study work. The Army Corps has identified 39 sites and is still disappointed Bradley County didn’t participate in the study. A lot of the water originates outside the city limits and it would’ve been an effective study if they had participated. He continued he is glad that Mainstreet is meeting with Mr. Moore and hopefully a resolution will be reached. He then asked City Attorney John Kimball about gifting city owned property to a non-profit and then they sold it to another individual. Mr. Kimball responded they have quite a bit of discretion on how to dispose of real property. Typically, if its property you say you don’t need for a government purpose but has value you put it up for sale, through sealed bids or an auction. However, you have the ability legally to give the property for a public purpose. Councilman Banks stated for public perception if we gift it but a deal was already cut to sell it to a private individual, without public notice and knowledge does that somehow fly in the face of putting it out there like you generally do when you sell property. Mr. Kimball responded if they have reached an agreement to use it for a public purpose to enhance downtown redevelopment. You would put that in the documentation or in a commitment of deed so it would be done for that purpose. Councilman McKenzie stated at the next meeting we need to have all the paperwork and finalize what we are going to do with the Moore building. Councilman Estes stated when the Army Corps specific reports come in he would a pdf copy emailed to him. Secondly, he asked that Ms. Carroll speak with Chief Harrison and Chief Gibson regarding the V800 radio system and how they feel about it and what they think is best for the City. Councilman Estes then stated this is Ms. Casteel’s last meeting. He thanked her for her service, her integrity, guidance, her friendship, her concern for all citizens and the way she has carried herself in difficult situations and congratulations on her retirement. Councilman Banks asked to clarify the City Council elections and how they run on staggered terms. Councilman McKenzie, Estes, Mayor Rowland and himself are not running in this election but will in 2018. The election this August will be for Councilman May, which is unopposed, Councilman Hughes, who has an opponent Mary Baier, District 3 has several candidates, Tom Cassada, Pam Edgemon, Larry Bryant and Michael Plumley, and Vice Mayor Poe has two opponents, Avery Johnson and Jonathan Porter. p. 141 REGULAR SESSION MAY 23, 2016 PAGE -13- MINUTE BOOK 28 Councilman Johnson stated he appreciates Janice Casteel and has enjoyed working with her over the years. It has been a joy and knowing we have someone who sincerely cares about everyone. She has a passion for her job and is very respectful. He congratulated her on her retirement and wished her well. Councilman May thanked Janice Casteel for her 42 years of service. She will be missed and hopes she enjoys her retirement and spending more time with the grandkids. Councilman Hughes appreciates the work done by Chief Gibson and his officers, the Codes Enforcement Officers Joel Prince and Criss Caywood for their work on Forestview Drive. He continued that if he ever needed information from Janice Casteel he always got an immediate response. He thanked her for her service. Ms. Casteel responded we have great staff so it’s easy to gather information quickly. Councilman Hughes then recognized a former teacher of his, Diana Calfee. He also thanked her for her service. Councilman May moved to declare Janice Casteel’s cellphone and computer as surplus property and be awarded to her. The motion was seconded by Councilman Banks; and upon roll call, unanimously passed.

Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Tom Rowland, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk APRIL 15, 2016 3581 COVE LAKE DRIVE ANNEXATION ANALYSIS CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 1.49 acres located at 3581 Cove Lake Dr NW as described in this report, along with a corresponding plan of service and zoning plan for the area. The area is inside the existing Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The proposed annexation is proposed to occur in 2016. This report begins with a brief overview of the annexation process and the report then turns to a proposed Plan of Services (POS) for the annexation area. The services described are those that would be necessary for the City to provide under Tennessee law. This area is proposed to receive city services in accordance with the POS. Introduction Public Chapter 1101 (PC 1101), adopted as Tennessee law in 1998, required cities to work cooperatively with other local governments to determine an urban growth boundary (UGB) in which annexations could occur. Cleveland has a twenty nine square mile UGB that was based on a study of urbanization and service requirements in a fifty square mile urban fringe area. The UGB was amended in January 2010, expanding it near I-75 Exit 20 and in the vicinity of the new airport site near Dry Valley Road. Cleveland can annex property within its UGB by ordinance. PC 1101 Section 19 requires a “Plan of Services” (POS) prior to annexation and these services must include: police and fire protection: water, electrical and sanitary sewer services; solid waste collection; road and street construction and repair; recreational facilities and programs; street lighting; and zoning services. Public Chapter 225 adopted by the Tennessee General Assembly and signed by Governor Bredesen on June 2, 2003, amended TCA 6-51-102 to include impact on school attendance zones. 3581 Cove Lake Dr NW p. 148 REGULAR SESSION MAY 23, 2016 PAGE -20- MINUTE BOOK 28 Legal Description Beginning at the southeast corner of the lands of Brian and Carrie Workman, as recorded in BCROD deed book 1432 page 244; thence north 65 degrees 53 minutes 3 seconds west, 181.78 feet to an iron pin; thence north 29 degrees 17 minutes 51 seconds east, 59.83 feet to an iron pin; thence north 35 degrees 49 minutes 00 seconds east, 115.02 feet to an iron pin; thence north 30 degrees 50 minutes 48 seconds east, 125.62 feet to an iron pin; thence south 85 degrees 28 minutes 44 seconds east, 146.40 feet to an iron pin; thence with the ROW of Cove Lake Drive along a right handed curve R=40’ L=105.61’ to an iron pin located in the ROW of Cove Lake Drive; thence south 72 degrees 29 minutes 41 seconds east, 60 feet, more or less, to a point where the ROW of Cove Lake Drive intersects the existing City Limits; thence with the existing City Limits in a southerly direction 120 feet, more or less, to a point where the existing City Limits intersects the eastern line of the lands of Workman; thence south 67 degrees 3 minutes 43 seconds west, 160 feet, more or less, to an iron pin; thence south 26 degrees 28 minutes 51 seconds West, 132.10 to the point of beginning. Plan of Services 1. Police Protection Patrolling, radio response to calls and other routine police services using the City’s personnel and equipment will be provided on the effective date of the annexation. There is no additional cost expected from this annexation. 2. Fire Protection This annexation would be serviced immediately by CFD Engine Five with an approximate four minute response time. It will be serviced from Station Five on Freewill Rd. 3. Domestic Water and Sanitary Sewer Service. This property is already a water and sewer customer of Cleveland Utilities Water and Wastewater Division. No improvements are necessary due to this annexation. 4. Electric Service This property is already located within Cleveland Utilities’ Electric service area and therefore it would not require any annexation reimbursement payments to Volunteer Energy. Street lighting is already in place. No impact is expected. 5. Public Works A. Refuse Collection a. Current city policies regarding residential, commercial and industrial refuse will apply in all proposed areas per the terms of the City’s contract with Waste Connections of Tennessee, Inc. b. The City no longer provides curbside recycling and this service will not be provided in the proposed areas, unless the City Council initiates a program in the future. B. Route Collection Services a. Current city policies regarding residential debris, brush, and white good collections will apply in all proposed areas and will begin at the time of annexation. Each residence will be included in the City’s ten route collection system. No additional equipment or manpower will be needed at this time. p. 149 REGULAR SESSION MAY 23, 2016 PAGE -21- MINUTE BOOK 28 b. The current city policies regarding residential leaf collection will be provided annually for a period of approximately three months and will apply in all proposed areas. C. Street Repair and Maintenance a. Emergency maintenance of city streets (i.e. repairing hazardous potholes) within the proposed areas will begin at time of annexation. b. Routine maintenance of local streets in the proposed areas will be scheduled on the same basis as such maintenance in the rest of the City. c. Reconstruction and resurfacing of streets, installation of storm drainage facilities, construction of curbs and gutters, and other such substantial improvements in the proposed areas (where identified as needed by the governing body) will be accomplished in accordance with the priorities and policies established for the entire city. d. It appears that no street name signs or street striping/painting is needed at this time for the proposed areas. D. Stormwater and Drainage Services No major drainage problems were identified in these areas. Emergency drainage maintenance (i.e. cleaning catch basins, unstopping tile, installing drainage tile and/or catch basins) within these areas will begin at time of annexation. E. General Rights-of-Way Maintenance (i.e. street sweeping, snow removal) a. Current city policies for routine street sweeping will be scheduled on the same basis as in the rest of the City and will apply in all proposed areas. b. Current city policies for snow removal and salting will be scheduled on the same basis as in the rest of the City and will apply in all proposed areas. 6. Schools The annexation of this area would have minimal impact on the school system. 7. Planning and Zoning A. The planning and zoning jurisdiction of the City will extend to the annexation areas upon the effective date of annexations and all municipal planning activities will encompass the needs of the annexed areas. B. This property is currently zoned FAR Forestry/Agricultural/Residential in the unincorporated County. It is recommended all of the properties be zoned R1 Single Family Residential as its post-annexation zoning. p. 150 REGULAR SESSION MAY 23, 2016 PAGE -22- MINUTE BOOK 28 C. In the case of lots of record that are recorded prior to the effective date of annexation, if there are prevailing deed or subdivision restrictions on record, these deed or subdivision restrictions shall apply if in conflict with City zoning or subdivision regulations. 8. Animal Shelter The City operates a full-time animal control program including an animal shelter. The Animal Shelter is located on Hill Street SE. Services include pick-up of stray and/or dangerous animals. These services will be available to the annexation areas on the effective date of the annexation. 9. Voting Rights and City Elections A. If an eligible voter’s permanent place of residence is located in an annexed area, that voter is automatically eligible to vote in City elections. B. If an eligible voter is in the category of a property rights voter then that voter must register at the Election Commission Office prior to voting in a City election. C. This annexation will add approximately 6 residents to the 3rd City Council District as it is currently used. Revenue The current total appraised property value for this area is about $459,200. The total assessed value is $114,800. The property tax generated from this area would be about $2,026.79 a year. With 6 residents in the home and the current state shared appropriation is $115.75 per resident. This would result in approximately $694.50 a year. The monthly stormwater utility fee for this property will be $4.88 per month which results in $58.56 per year. The approximate revenue generated as a result of this annexation at the time of annexation would be about $2,779.85. Vice Mayor Poe moved that Resolution No: 2016-53 be accepted as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Johnson; and upon roll call, unanimously passed.
