Michelle Goldston addressed the City Council concerning a possible ordinance for District 2 for limitations on farm animals not allowed in the city limits. She spoke at the previous meeting and Mr. Fivas and Chief Gibson did look into the issues, but it appears additional action needs to take place. She then asked if the landlords that are dumping debris inside the limits have been fined. Mr. Fivas replied staff is currently looking into the issue. Ms. Goldson added perhaps the pickup dates need to be changed for particular areas. Sonya Pugh at 729 1st Street NE stated she has been trying to get a curb repaired on Berry Street since January to help with flooding. Councilman Estes stated photos have been turned in and a work order has been issued. Staff says it will be completed this summer. Mr. Fivas stated yes, it will be completed once staff transitions off the Candies Lane project, which should happen this week. Elise Goldston stated she is the direct neighbor from 911 2nd Street NE. The property has been an ongoing issue since 2013 with boats, cars and now farm animals. Neighbors can’t sit outside due to the smell. She would like something done for her family and the elderly neighbors. Councilman Cassada stated he did look up animal feces and asked if the health department could get involved. Mr. Fivas stated we can turn it into them and it would be their discretion on what to do. Councilman Estes stated he would like staff to look at other cities and their ordinances on how to handle farm animals. Mr. Kimball stated other cities do regulate other kinds of animals and examples can be brought back. If you want to discuss goats, one of the issues you will have to address is livestock goats verses the pigmy goats that are small and people have as pets. Generally speaking, cities do not have authority to zone agriculture use and eliminate agriculture through zoning. You have your police powers where you can prohibit, like to do with swine, you can prohibit specific breeds of animals. Mr. Fivas stated we have nuisance ordinances that could take effect regarding the odor, without touching on the types of animals. p. 243 REGULAR SESSION MAY 24, 2021 PAGE -243- MINUTE BOOK 30 Councilwoman McKenzie inquired about the number of animals a person can have on a lot. Mr. Fivas replied no. Councilwoman McKenzie asked is there anything we can do to limit the number of animals. She then asked if there was a current limit on the number of dogs and cats someone can have. Mr. Fivas replied no. Mr. Kimball stated most cities chose to deal with the negative effects of too many animals, rather than placing an arbitrary limit, one or two cities in Tennessee cap the number of dogs at five. Most would say that’s too many and that is why Cleveland has ordinances already on the books that deal with the effects of too many, the noise, the smell, the cleanliness of the lot for the animals and their shelter. If you limit the number of animals people can have city-wide, you have to take into consideration dog breeders and such. That is why cities generally do not cap the number of dogs and leave it to the number of “effects” that come with having too many, typically noise, odor and care of the animals. You can set a limit on the number of animals, say we don’t want people to have more than five dogs on their property but understand that are many different neighborhoods in Cleveland and when you make one rule, it’s for the five acre wooded lot with no close neighbors and also small lots with neighbors 25-feet away, so those are the things you need to think about. Mayor Brooks stated at the next meeting perhaps we can have a list of ordinances we currently have and options from other cities. HEARING PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Brooks stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning the FY2022 Budget. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the approval of the budget. No one spoke. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the approval of the budget. Mayor Brooks then declared the public hearing to be closed. CONSENT AGENDA Mr. Fivas reviewed the items listed on the consent agenda. He thoroughly reviewed the agreement with Henderson, Hutcherson & McCullough, PLLC for the redevelopment of 266 Inman Street. It has been conveyed to Bradley County that they would like to purchase the Fire/Rescue building but it is not connected to this purchase. We are receiving bids for asbestos abatement costs but we will not be doing the abatement ourselves but by approving this agreement you will give HHM payment for the lowest cost and they will do the abatement themselves with their contractors. Councilman May agreed we should be out of the process. Councilman Estes thanked staff, this is the type of partnership we need to bring long-term professionals to downtown. Councilman Hughes inquired about parking. Mr. Fivas stated we have a diagram and we have certainty that we can meet the qualifications to provide the requested parking spaces immediately. Councilman Estes moved to approve the following items from the Consent Agenda.

REPORTS OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS Councilman May thanked City staff, City School staff and Cleveland Utilities staff for the work on their budgets and keeping us within budget. Also, the project with HHM, a lot of effort went into that and this is exactly what we need to do to make downtown work. He appreciates it. Councilman Hughes stated he would like Assistant Police Chief Stacy Smith, who recently graduated from Northwestern School of Police Staff and Command, to come and share his experience at the next meeting. Also, he would like Bethany McCoy with Lee University to award her a certificate of appreciation for her years of service. Lastly, he would like to honor Ellie Fivas and Lauren Thacker at the next meeting as well. We should honor state winners. Councilman Webb asked for an update on the gate on Smith Drive into the Senior Housing facility. Mr. Divel stated SETHRA is currently working on the specs and should be completed soon. Secondly, Councilman Webb stated the grass and weeds are overgrown at the old Golden Corral location on Stuart Road, if Code Enforcement would take a look. Thirdly, there is a new federal program, that if you meet certain income guidelines that will help subsidize your monthly broadband costs. He encourages people to look into it if they feel they might be eligible. FCC.gov has a link to the program. Vice Mayor Johnson reported two citizen street light requests for 3423 Brighton Blvd NW and 2372 Coventry Court NW. Councilman Estes asked Chief Gibson to pursue the avenue of 195 Sheeler Avenue being a nuisance, it might not qualify but maybe reaching out to the owner of the apartment complex. Secondly, he read where Cleveland Utilities signed a long-term agreement with TVA for electricity but other large fringe municipalities were thinking of going elsewhere. Did that transpire or did the TVA contracts work out? Marshall Stinnett with Cleveland Utilities stated he believes there are eight that have not signed. We signed a 20-year with an annual renewal. Third, he asked Corey Divel for additional information concerning the news article from Sandra Knight about annexation and additional road access. Mr. Fivas stated it is the process of non- contiguous annexations and how to deal with road connections. Our process has been an interlocal agreement to deal with the issue. Councilman Estes stated he was confused as to who owns what is under the road and the responsibility going forward but would appreciate an email explaining the details. Lastly, he will be sending Mr. Fivas a contact name concerning the Chieftan. Councilman Cassada inquired if the work done along Candies Lane affected or helped with the floodplain area maps behind Rolling Hills, possibly reducing the flood insurance requirement. Mr. Fivas stated staff will look into it but doesn’t believe the floodplain will change because of the work but the new maps are being drawn by the Army Corps. Staff will have to reach out to them. Councilman Cassada then asked for a new traffic count on Mouse Creek Road. Mr. Fivas replied yes, but remember the last study was $50 million to improve the roadway but we will pull some numbers. Next, he asked about lighting at the Pickleball Courts. Mr. Fivas stated the lights are on order and should be delivered at the end of May. He continued to ask about paving on Candies Lane, how much paving will be done. Mr. Fivas stated at the end of the project, it will be repaved from Legacy to Freewill Road. We are hoping to pave Inverness and Interlackin at the same time. Lastly, he requested Cleveland Utilities to put in a left turn signal from the McDonalds onto Georgetown Road due to safety concerns. Mr. Vineyard stated they will look to see what could be done. p. 249 REGULAR SESSION MAY 24, 2021 PAGE -249- MINUTE BOOK 30 Mayor Brooks stated he received a compliment from a local attorney about Lindsey Hawkins at Public Works.
