MINUTE BOOK 31 BE IT REMEMBERED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE MET IN A REGULAR SESSION THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 AT 3:00 P.M. AT THEIR REGULAR MEETING PLACE IN THE CLEVELAND MUNICIPAL BUILDING. Present and presiding was Mayor Kevin Brooks. Also present were Vice Mayor Avery Johnson, Councilmen Bill Estes, David May, Tom Cassada, Dale Hughes, Ken Webb, and Councilwoman Marsha McKenzie. Others in attendance were City Manager Joe Fivas; Shawn McKay, Assistant City Manager/CFO; Sue Zius, Administrative Coordinator; Beverley Lindsey, Assistant to the City Manager; Christy Brandon, Assistant City Clerk; City Attorney John Kimball; Police Chief Mark Gibson; Interim Fire Chief Rock Eulo; Kris Miller, IT Director; Jonathan Jobe, Director of Development and Engineering; Tommy Myers, Public Works Director; Kim Miller, Human Resource Director; Patti Petitt, Parks and Recreation Director; Robert Varnell, Planning and Community Development Director; Gideon Ratcliff with Mix104.1; Cathy Andrews, CDBG Coordinator; Doug Berry with the Chamber of Commerce; Lawrence Armstrong, NAACP; Marie Tucker; Terry Goldston; Michell Goldston; Paulette Pugh; Jeremiah Million; Hal Taylor; Julie Fivas; Joan David; Gwillen Lowe; William Rogers; RaSharon King; Sharon Marr with Mainstreet Cleveland; Marle Scully; Brian Easterner; Joshua Goode; Micah Smith; Christy Goza; Nathan Cates; Seth Sumner; Dustin Tommey and Tim Siniard with the Cleveland Daily Banner. Following the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag and prayer by Vice Mayor Johnson, the following business was then entered into: WAIVE READING OF MINUTES Vice Mayor Johnson moved that the City Council of the City of Cleveland waive the reading of the minutes of the Regular Session of the City Council held on September 11, 2023 and approve them as written. The motion was seconded by Councilman May; and upon roll call, the motion unanimously passed. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Brooks stated we heard from Lawrence Armstrong, President of the Bradley County NAACP during today’s Work Session and they have asked to be on today’s Regular Session agenda as well. Vice Mayor Johnson stated he still had a lot of questions and would like to come together to discuss and bring a recommendation to the Council. If he still doesn’t have the information, we can work that out. We can have a better understanding of what specific items, everything that is on the list. As far as leaving the City Manager out of the process, he doesn’t think that we need to do that. We need a clear understanding of what the issues are. Vice Mayor Johnson moved that we get a committee together to meet with Mr. Armstrong and whoever else Mr. Armstrong would like to meet with us. That is his recommendation. Mayor Brooks stated the motion fails for lack of a second. Mayor Brooks then stated he understands Mr. Fivas has accepted a meeting with Mr. Armstrong, which would not require a vote of the Council. Is that acceptable Vice Mayor? Vice Mayor Johnson stated yes. Mr. Armstrong stated yes, with the City Attorney as well. Mr. Kimball stated he was okay to attend but it would be good if a Councilmember attended, as his job is to give the Council legal advice. I cannot answer private citizens’ questions. Mayor Brooks added if two Councilmembers are present, it will become a public meeting. Mr. Kimball stated yes. Mayor Brooks asked Mr. Armstrong if Mr. Fivas, Mr. Kimball and Vice Mayor Johnson be present for the meeting. Mr. Armstrong agreed. He continued just to put clarity with the situation, the purpose of the recusal that we have asked for is that the NAACP received several personnel complaints. These complaints were made towards Mr. Joe Fivas. In order to find a resolution to these complaints, we need Mr. Fivas to be out of the process so we can get the information. Now, mind you as I am standing here as the NAACP, there is only one African American complaint. There are many others that are not African American. I am saying to you this issue is bigger than what I am standing here before you. I may not be addressing the issue properly, as Councilman Estes mentioned earlier, maybe p. 338 REGULAR SESSION SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 PAGE -338- MINUTE BOOK 31 not the proper platform to go to but the documents we need or requested may have to go through another open records request. Just to give you a snapshot there are accusations of city leadership being bias and unfair treatment, policy of hiring new employees not followed by the City Manager, City Manager not being trustworthy and making false statements, being very passive aggressive, realigning city employees without HR input causing hostile work environments. These were the issues brought before the NAACP. I did not want to disclose information about what I call “in-house dirty laundry”. I am standing before you trying to resolve these things without getting into the details. Without the recusal of the City Manager as a part of this process it’s not going to be any better for the City of Cleveland. I am open to whatever the recommendation is by the City Council, but I am making you aware of allegations and things that are taking place. Again, these are not from the minority community, there are several complaints, and we are trying to address the concerns, that is why we are before you. Councilman Estes thanked Mr. Armstrong and the NAACP and is encouraged if these allegations are against someone, that person be in the room. If it is about Mr. Fivas, I am encouraged that he will be in the room. Councilman Cassada stated he did speak to Mr. Armstrong and when the discussion got to personnel issues, I told him I couldn’t talk about those, it would have to be Mr. Fivas. Mr. Fivas stated I am glad we are getting together. I am 100% supportive and that is why I called Mr. Armstrong. I want to correct a couple of things. The meeting that was cancelled was because I had a domestic abuse issue with my sister and that’s why we didn’t meet before. But I think most importantly, if there is ever any concerns from any employee, we deal with that on a daily basis, we are always happy and willing to try to resolve those issues. I look forward to working with Mr. Armstrong to get to the bottom of what some of the concerns are and I think we are making progress and appreciates bringing these issues to our attention. That was my attempt to try to meet with him before and obviously it didn’t happen. Now it sounds like we are back on track and appreciate that. HEARING PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Brooks stated there are no hearing petitions and communications. CONSENT AGENDA Councilman May moved to approve the following items from the Consent Agenda.

REPORTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS Councilman Cassada thanked City Staff for participating in the District 3 meeting. Also, the Nature Park Walk is being cleaned up today. Lastly, he is looking forward to a report on Jim Sharp Park at the next meeting. The public inspires us to move the City forward and thanks to Mr. Bennett in the Overbrook Subdivision who brought it to his attention there was not a playground in the 3rd District. Residents that live in the community are what moves us forward. Councilman May asked Mr. Fivas to fast-track the traffic issue on Julian Drive relating to the need for a stop sign. Councilman Hughes had no report at this time. Councilman Webb discussed the Disc Golf course and had a photo of Chad Payne and his children at Fletcher Park this morning. This is what it is about, quality of life in the City of Cleveland. They were excited about the new Disc Golf Course. Vice Mayor Johnson inquired about the wetlands off Candies Lane and if the mowing crews could cut back some overgrowth away from the walking path. Mr. Fivas stated yes, Public Works will be bringing in heavier equipment to work on overgrowth in some areas. Councilwoman McKenzie had no report at this time. Councilman Estes thanked Mr. Fivas for looping him in on the Soccer information. He then thanked Chief Gibson for the extra police presence at school crossings. It really helps the walkers. Lastly, he toured the First Tennessee Building.

The Beer Board can not issue a permit without the Councils approval. Councilman Estes moved to authorize the Beer Board to issue a Special Occasion Permit for Tee It Up for the Troops event on November 11. The motion was seconded by Councilman May. Councilman Cassada asked if the local restaurants along 1st Street were contacted to use their permit. Mr. Smith stated yes, the issue is occupancy capacity, and this event will be held in the street. Councilman Cassada stated the downtown businesses could be affected. He is committed but asked if it could be done without alcohol. We have to be cautious. Mr. Smith stated this is a fundraising model, Foam of the Brave, for the organization. Ross Tarver with Tarver Distributing stated he spoke with Mr. Smith concerning the event. No one is more concerned about underage drinking and over consumption than himself. As Cleveland continues to grow, we have to be responsible, and believe more residents expect things like this as we grow as a community. We have huge downtown development plans. Downtown residents can walk to this event. Wonderful things are happening in the downtown community, and he thinks more of these types of activities are going to be expected from our community. He asks for the Council support for this event. Councilman Cassada thanked Mr. Tarver and stated he is still concerned for downtown businesses. Councilman Hughes added he agrees, downtown businesses could be affected. Mayor Brooks stated we have a model where this is working with downtown businesses and also encourages downtown events. Upon roll call, Councilman Estes, Councilman May, Councilman Cassada, Councilman Webb, and Vice Mayor Johnson voted aye. Councilman Hughes and Councilwoman McKenzie voted no. The motion carries 5:2. Christy Goza addressed the Council concerning the Witches, Wine & Spirits Stroll event to be held on October 28 for the Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser. Local businesses have calibrated together to have a contained event along 1st Street; when streets are blocked and businesses are open with live entertainment, people will wander. This Special Occasion Beer Permit would allow people to enjoy entertainment on the street, legally. Upon roll call, Councilman Estes, Councilman Cassada, Councilman May, Councilman Webb, and Vice Mayor Johnson voted aye. Councilman Hughes and Councilwoman McKenzie voted no. The motion carries 5:2.
