Councilman Banks moved to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion was seconded by

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Councilman May moved that Ordinance No: 2016-27 – heretofore passed on first reading
July 25, 2016 and found in Minute Book 28, Page 202; amending Title 8, Chapter 2 Section 8-210
to add a new classification of beer permit (Manufacturing of craft beer) be approved on final
reading. The motion was seconded by Councilman Banks. Upon roll call, Councilmen May, Banks,
Estes and Johnson voted aye. Councilmen Hughes and McKenzie voted no.
REPORTS OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
Councilman Banks congratulated the victors in the recent election. He then stated they all
work as a unit, a team and will have a new member, Tom Cassada. Mr. Cassada was unable to
be present today but is looking forward to joining the Council. Mr. Fivas will be joining us
toward the end of the week and sure he’ll bring ideas worthwhile for the citizens of Cleveland.
He continued as a team we can accomplish a lot over the next few years. Councilman Banks
continued he received a request to get a copy of the $500,000 tennis grant and acceptance award.
That is a lot of money. He stated Charlie Smith made a good suggestion and thinks it’s important
to have a committee to help our Parks and Recreation Department decide and have some input on
how that money should be spend. With that much money, we need to make sure we use it in a
way that will benefit all tennis players. He would like to see a maintenance schedule put in place,
when that money is spent, so these tennis courts are maintained on a regular basis, which might
have been one of the problems in the past. There was mention with that much money or what the
cost will be to renovate Tinsley, but we need to spread that to the south end and other areas that
may need some upgrades and look at the possibility of indoor courts. Most cities our size,
especially with 100 degree heat and cold weather in the winter, have indoor courts, as we have
discussed in the past. That might need to be a part of the focus of this committee. He then asked
if there was a match. Mayor Rowland stated yes it’s a 50/50 grant for a total of $1 million.
Councilman Banks continued for a million dollars we should be able to build some indoor courts.
We have a lot of empty buildings at Whirlpool that might work, if we could acquire them. The
tennis community is looking to us to spend that million in a very good way.
Councilman McKenzie asked exactly what we were going to do at the Blythe-Bower
field. Ms. Carroll stated Ms. Petitt mention focusing on a multi-purpose field. Mr. Hartman
stated it is incorporated in the masterplan they are currently working on. Ms. Carroll stated we’ll
get some information and send an update. Mayor Rowland asked Councilman McKenzie what
he’d like to see in the area. Councilman McKenzie replied whatever is good for the kids. It’s the
kids that count. Councilman Banks asked when the $500,000 be received. Mayor Rowland stated
it should be this month. Councilman Banks continued that the new City Manager should be

involved. Maybe Mr. Fivas, Ms. Carroll and Parks and Recreation, at the next meeting, come
back with recommendations for people on the committee. Charlie Smith recommended Pat
Ensley, who is a big tennis player and has done a lot for the city. Mr. Smith also recommended
Cathy Davini and Marion Cooke. Ms. Carroll stated she will also check with the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board. Mayor Rowland stated this will be a committee specifically for the
tennis courts.
Councilman Estes stated during the work session we discussed 933 Harle Avenue and the
owner, Jeremy Moore is now present and maybe would like to discuss the property. Mayor
Rowland stated Mr. Moore can address the Council after the Council reports.
Councilman Johnson added that he has received a call concerning the Blythe-Bower field
and hopefully from the grant money we’ll have funds to spread around and to stick with the
masterplan. Ms. Carroll stated she would have something for them at the next meeting.
Mayor Rowland stated a few citizens expressed their concern during the work session on
the condition of 933 Harle Avenue. Jeremy Moore thanked the City Council, building officials,
codes enforcement and the neighbors for their concerns. The tenants have moved out, pest
control has been contacted and a cleaning crew should be on site tomorrow. He has discussed
with several contractors about the scope of a remodel and with a structural engineer to keep the
historic 1920’s Craftsman style home and bring in line with current codes. Mayor Rowland
asked about a timeline. Mr. Moore stated realistically about two weeks for the full cleanup and
for a substantial remodel. A for sale sign could be in the yard approximately at the end of the
year. Mayor Rowland asked if he was going to continue renting. Mr. Moore stated absolutely not
and we will sell the property. Councilman Banks stated four to five years ago was a similar
discussion. Mr. Moore replied at that point it was determined to get tenants in the property so it
wouldn’t continue to deteriorate. Hindsight, that wasn’t the best move. We will fix the property
and it will be a show piece in the community. Ms. Carroll asked when the structural engineer’s
report be available. Mr. Moore stated before August 16, as the City requested. Bryan Turner has
been in discussion with the engineer, without my permission or openness to it but we will get
you the report. Mr. Taylor DeVane gave caution to the Council. The tenants moved in five years
ago with the intent to fix the house and live rent free. The tenants told him they were unable to
get ahold of the landlord for the last seven months. Nothing is concrete with his construction
plan. He has lived next to the residence since 2004 and have had many issues with bugs and
codes enforcement. Building Official Bryan Turner stated if the work is going to be more than
50% of the value the ordinance gives the City the right to condemn for demolition. That would
be at Council discretion. You don’t have to demo the structure you just have the option. It will
require a licensed contractor, because of the cost and it’s a rental. You would need permits and
any work to be done would have to go before the Historic Preservation Commission. Mr. Moore
apologized to Mr. DeVane for the issues he has been facing, which shouldn’t be happening. He
continued he could get the house to code at minimum cost. Structural, very minimal. Windows
and security issues need to happen but to get it to code, I can do that really quick. The intent is to
be a better neighbor. Mr. Turner stated they will require an estimate from a contractor to
compare to the tax assessment. Mr. Moore stated the current tax value and the cost to bring to
code is not a great difference but what I will put into the property is substantial to the tax value.
The structural issues are minimal and what I intend to put into it will be more than that.
Councilman Estes asked Mr. Moore if we pursue to demo will you still continue to rehab the
house for sale. Mr. Moore replied no. Councilman Estes stated then what guarantee do we have.
Your track records is very poor. He then asked Mr. Turner if they could bring it to code for under
$26,000. Mr. Turner stated he has not seen specific numbers from the structural engineer. He
believes there are some mold and moisture issues to be addressed and not sure of the cost at this
time. He feels it would be roughly $25,000 for just the code issues. Councilman May stated he
felt it would be a conflict of interest for Mr. Moore to use his son as a contractor. Councilman
Banks stated this has been an eyesore for a long time and has received numerous complaints. It is
encouraging that you are not going to rent it but renovate it. But what he has seen and heard, this
is a safety issue for all the community. He then asked if he would come back in approximately

30 days and give an update. Mr. Moore stated that is reasonable and hopefully in 30 days you
will see work happening. Councilman Estes asked Mr. Turner to prepare reports, including the
structural engineer report as well as codes. He added if it is over $25,000 he would move for
demolition. Councilman Hughes stated he knows Mr. Moore and has been around a long time.
He feels confident he will do what he says and should have the opportunity to do what he says.
Councilman Banks asked for this to be back on the September 26 agenda.
Krista McKay read the following letter to the City Council during the work session.
Mayor Rowland asked that it be included in the minutes.

TASSO LN ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately .52 acres located
on Tasso Ln 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.
p. 214 REGULAR SESSION
AUGUST 8, 2016
PAGE -9-
MINUTE BOOK 28
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 then Governor Bredesen on June 2, 2003, amended TCA 6-51-102 to include
impact on school attendance zones.

degrees 43 minutes 57 seconds east, 134.84 feet to an iron pin; thence south 23 degrees 31
minutes 57 seconds west, 163.97 feet to an iron pin; thence north 66 degrees 28 minutes 3

The Council is aware of the risks and benefits associated with the Loan and the Put Option.
The Council finds that the repayment structure of the Loan (including the Put Option) is in the
public interest of the City.
The Council further agrees that it is willing to pay additional issuance costs associated with
the refunding of the Loan and related Bond in the event the Put Option is exercised by the
Purchaser. In the event that the Put Option is exercised by the Purchaser, and the City is unable to
pay the Loan amount in full on such date and no subsequent holder can be determined, the Council
commits to refund the Loan in the following manner:
(x) the Council shall submit a plan of refunding to the Comptroller or
Comptroller's designee;
(y) the final maturity of the refunding debt obligation will not extend beyond
the final maturity of the original Loan; and,
(z) the debt service structure of the refunding debt obligation will be
substantially similar to or more declining than the debt structure of the original Loan.
The Council has not retained an independent municipal advisor in connection with the
Loan. The Council understands and acknowledges that the Purchaser does not owe a fiduciary
duty to the City and that the Purchaser is acting for its own business and commercial interests. The
Council has consulted with such advisors and experts as it deems appropriate before the
consideration and adoption of this Resolution.
Section 2. Approval of Loan Agreement. The form, terms, and provision of the Loan
Agreement are in the best interest of the Municipality and are hereby approved and the Council hereby
authorizes the Mayor and the City Clerk of the Municipality to execute and deliver such Loan Agreement,
such Loan Agreement to be in substantially the form of the Loan Agreement presented to this meeting,
the execution of such Loan Agreement by the Mayor and the City Clerk to evidence their approval of any
and all changes to such Loan Agreement, and any related documents necessary to the consummation of

and directed to fulfill all obligations of the Municipality under the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Section 4. Tax Levy. There shall be levied and collected in the same manner as other
ad valorem taxes of the Municipality on all taxable property within the corporate limits of the
Municipality without limitation as to time, rate, or amount, to the extent necessary in the event funds of
the Municipality legally available to pay the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Agreement are
insufficient, a tax sufficient to pay when due the amounts payable under the Loan Agreement, as and
when they become due, and to pay any expenses of maintaining and operating the Project required to be

MINUTE BOOK 28
paid by the Municipality under the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement. For the prompt payment
of the Loan Agreement, both principal and interest, as the same shall become due, the full faith and credit
of the Municipality are irrevocably pledged.
Section 5. Approval of Bond. For the purpose of providing funds to make the loan to
the Municipality evidenced by the Loan Agreement, as provided herein and in the Loan Agreement, and
to pay legal, fiscal, and administrative costs incident thereto, including costs incident to the issuance and
sale of the Bond related to the Loan Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Bond by the Authority in
connection with the Loan Agreement is hereby approved.
Section 6. Disposition of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Bond shall be
paid, from time to time, to the official of the Municipality designated by law as the custodian of the funds,
upon submission of a requisition for such funds by the Municipality to the Purchaser, in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Agreement. Such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time solely to finance
the costs of the Project and to pay costs of issuance incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bond
and the loan of the proceeds thereof to the Municipality. Any monies remaining in the Project Fund after
completion of the Project shall be used to pay debt service on the Bond.
Section 7. Consent to Assignment. The Municipality hereby consents to the
assignment of all of the Authority's right, title, and interest in and to the Loan Agreement as security for
the Bond to which such Loan Agreement relates, except for certain reserved rights of the Authority, to the
Purchaser.
Section 8. Arbitrage Certification. The Municipality recognizes that the purchaser
and owner of the Bond will have accepted it on, and paid therefor a price, that reflects the understanding
that interest thereon is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under laws
in force on the date of delivery of the Bond. In this connection, the Municipality agrees that it shall take
no action which may cause the interest on said Bond to be included in gross income for federal income
taxation. It is the reasonable expectation of the Council of the Municipality that the proceeds of the Bond
will not be used in a manner which will cause the Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Code, and to this end the proceeds of the Bond and other related funds established for
the purposes herein set out shall be used and spent expeditiously for the purposes described herein. The
Council further covenants and represents that in the event it shall be required by Section 148(f) of the
Code to pay any investment proceeds of the Bond to the United States government, it will make such
payments as and when required by said Section 148(f) and will take such other actions as shall be
necessary or permitted to prevent the interest on the Bond from becoming taxable. The Mayor and City
Clerk, or either of them, are authorized and directed to make such certifications in this regard in
connection with the sale of the Bond as either or both shall deem appropriate, and such certifications shall
constitute a representation and certification of the Municipality.
Section 9. Miscellaneous Acts. The Mayor, the City Clerk, the Finance Director, the
City Manager, the City Attorney, and all other appropriate officials of the Municipality are hereby
authorized, empowered, and directed to do any and all such acts and things, and to execute, acknowledge,
and deliver all such documents, instruments, and certifications, in connection with the execution of the
Loan Agreement and the issuance of the Bond by the Authority, in addition to those acts, things,
documents, instruments, and certifications hereinbefore authorized and approved, as may in their
discretion, be necessary or desirable to implement or comply with the intent of this Resolution or any of
the documents herein authorized and approved.
Section 10. Captions. The captions or headings in this Resolution are for convenience
only and shall in no way define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any provision hereof.
Section 11. Severability. Should any provision or provisions of this Resolution be
declared invalid or unenforceable in any respect by final decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, the
invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph, ordinance, or provisions shall not affect the
remaining provisions of such Resolution.
Section 12. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions. All resolutions or parts thereof in
conflict herewith are, to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed.

ORDINANCE NO: 2016-31
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE 8, CHAPTER 2, SECTION 8-210 OF THE
CLEVELAND MUNICIPAL CODE RELATIVE TO BEER PERMITS TO ADD A NEW
CLASSIFICATION OF BEER PERMIT
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 8-210 of the
Cleveland Municipal Code to create a new classification of beer permit to be called a non-
consumption wholesaler beer permit and to add a new subsection to be numbered 8-210(7) for
this type of permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE, IN REGULAR SESSION ASSEMBLED, THAT:
Section 1. Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 8-210 of the Cleveland Municipal Code is amended by
adding the following language to become a new subsection numbered 8-210(7):
8-210 (7). Non-consumption Wholesaler Permit.
A Class 7 permit is a beer permit issued for the non-consumption, wholesale and
distribution of beer. A Non-consumption Wholesaler Permit (“Wholesaler Permit”) shall be
issued to each distributor, manufacturer, brewer or brewery or manufacturer’s branch authorizing
it to sell beer directly to retailers. To qualify for a Non-consumption Wholesaler Permit, an
establishment must meet the distance requirements contained in this chapter, as well as the other
general requirements imposed in this chapter, with the exception of those requirements explicitly
imposed upon another particular class of permit only. No wholesaler or distributor shall maintain
more than one place of business unless such wholesaler or distributor has received a separate
permit from the beer permit board for each place of business. If a wholesaler or distributor
maintains a place of business that is contiguous to another permitted location, the requirement in
the preceding sentence for separate permits from the beer permit board for each location shall not
apply.
A Class 7 permit is limited strictly to warehouse wholesale and distribution, and does not
allow or permit consumption of beer on the premises of the wholesaler. The products must come
in to the warehouse already packaged and sealed, and the products must leave packaged and
sealed without ever being opened or otherwise consumed.
Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its final passage, the public welfare
requiring it.
