REPORTS OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
Councilman Hughes asked for everyone to remember his nephew who was being sent to
Tennova for Covid and pneumonia. Secondly, Cleveland has been a Tree City for twenty-nine
years. The last year has been difficult due to Covid and played a part in the Tree Board not doing
things they usually do, like Arbor Day. Dan Hartman has done wonderful work with the Tree
Board and congratulations to Dan for leading us to thirty years as a Tree City.
Councilman Webb stated he had additional addresses for Mr. Fivas concerning litter in
the rights-of-way. Mr. Fivas stated yes, he will reach out to our contact with Bradley County and
implement ideas that we can. Secondly, he has received numerous calls concerning the lights at
the pickleball courts and asked for an update. Councilman Hughes added at one time we applied
for a grant to help with the lighting. Mr. Fivas replied unfortunately, we were not successful in
receiving the grant. He has spoken with several Councilmembers and it appears lighting is a high
priority. The pickleball courts are complete and phase 2 was the lighting portion. We can obtain
p. 152 REGULAR SESSION

MINUTE BOOK 30
options, like Cleveland Utilities, bidding now and see what the cost is and give options on how
to pay for it. It can be fast-tracked to see the cost and that can be started this week. Councilman
May stated he believes the entire Council received calls concerning the lighting. They are
concerned with summertime. We are always trying to meet a deadline or fast-track something.
Councilman Cassada stated he would like to add it to new business. Mr. Fivas stated yes, we will
start the process this week and it would take a few weeks to receive those back, so possibly the
March 22 meeting. Councilman Webb added at that time we can move into the decision on how
to fund it. Mr. Fivas stated yes.
Vice Mayor Johnson stated he received several calls as well concerning the pickleball
courts and anything we can do to help move the project along.
Councilwoman McKenzie thanked the City Council for the confidence in her to join the
Council. She then commended the car lot on South Lee Highway that is cleaning up the area and
improving the area. Also, the new businesses that have built along South Lee Highway. She is
glad to see it growing and getting better. Secondly, the Christmas lights this year were very nice
and adds an inviting atmosphere.
Councilman Estes stated the trees in the buffer zone at Avery Johnson Park that Dan
Hartman chose, look great. It adds so much. Mr. Hartman came to his house to look at some
trees and told him he needed to apply for Tree Sanctuary. If you have ten unique trees in your
yard you can apply to the Tennessee Urban Forestry Counsel to become a Tree Sanctuary. It
would be good for the public to be aware and something they can be apart of. Next, CDBG has
been awarded additional funds and Cathy Andrews will be presenting a plan of service before us
soon. If you have ideas, city-wide, please let staff know. Third, with the Build our Future, we
have soccer being played at several parks, but it is more than Greater Cleveland Soccer
Association, there is a whole soccer community. He asked that they are kept in mind when
discussing facilities. Lastly, he appreciates the email updates on codes and traffic in the Historic
District.
Councilman Cassada stated he had emailed the Councilmembers concerning sidewalks
and how to connect the communities together. We have people walking down Georgetown Road,
which is unsafe. This is not an overnight fix but would like to see a six to seven-year plan put in
place to earmark funds to set aside for sidewalks. We need to be proactive concerning sidewalks
and we need to enforce our existing sidewalk provisions. Councilman Estes added give our
Planning Department courage to enforce provisions in PUDs. Councilman Cassada continued
this isn't a quick fix but we need a plan, even up to ten years. Secondly, Commissioner Tim
Mason with Bradley County Sheriffs Department is a good connection for litter pickup. Third,
he appreciates the pickleball lighting discussion. Lastly, the Museum. He is on the Board and it
has been brought to his attention today that they are having issues. He asked if a committee
could be formed to help develop a plan with the air conditioning and roof issues. Covid has
really put them in a bad position. He would like Mr. Fivas, Mr. McKay, Councilman May, and
himself on the committee to look and help them develop a plan and possibly step-up and help.
Councilman May stated we have helped them, in several ways. Mr. Fivas stated he would
suggest himself, Bryan Turner, Mr. McKay and Councilman Cassada try to work something out.
Councilman Cassada stated he would like to bring something back before the Council.
Councilman Estes stated at one time he was on the Board. It's not just what can we do about the
roof. We don't need to send good money after bad. This is not just one-time. We fix it, we can
either take control of it, we purchase it, there are too many things that you are not bringing up
here that we have done for them. Councilman Cassada stated he feels they are turning a curve.
They are looking at lighting right now. Councilman Estes stated they need to open their books
and let us see all this, as he wasn't convenience. As a member of the Board, you see that
monthly. Councilman Cassada replied yes, but he sees a tum somewhat where they are at. Ms.
Rymer, a founding body of the museum, is not willing to put money into it, due to
mismanagement but has offered to provide to pay for a consultant and let the museum know
what they need to do to get on the right track. They are not where they need to be, but they are

trying to be more efficient and get on the right path. Mr. Fivas stated the study group can look at
short-and long-term fixes. Councilman Cassada agreed and bring the books and the consultant' s
recommendation. Not sure what to do about the roof leaking but they have cut staff and Ms.
Rymer has stepped in as Director.
Councilman May inquired about the status of the burnt building on Worth Street. Mr.
Fivas stated the building is in bankruptcy and at one time there was an interested buyer, so the
city backed off. Now, staff is working with the estate administrator and we will start in a
direction as far as we can 't wait anymore. Councilman May added he understands some
homeless people are there and it is not a safe structure for them .

for everyone through the RFP process. We have draft language that we are still tweaking. We are
not asking the Council to approve it at this time, but we are asking that once we have a finalized
version of the RFP then we can start advertising, if you allow us to move forward. Councilman
May moved to declare 266 Inman Street surplus property and to allow staff to move forward
with the process of advertising, once the RFP is finalized. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Estes. Councilman Estes then stated he loved the RFP, that we are getting quotes
for the asbestos, but what ifwe do not get three quotes. Mr. Fivas stated yes, we probably need
to tweak it some, possibly just two quotes. Councilman Estes stated yes this is packaged very
well. Upon roll call, the motion unanimously passed.
