Whereas, the Cleveland Bradley Relay for Life started in 1993 to advance the mission of the American Cancer Society by allowing local volunteers, survivors, caregivers and supporters to raise funds to provide support and advance cancer research; and . . . . Whereas, the mission of the American Cancer Society is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer; and . . . . Whereas, the Cleveland Bradley Relay for Life has raised in excess of 3.5 million in 31 years; and . . . . Whereas, the American Cancer Society is proud to have contributed to the work that has resulted in a 33 percent drop in the overall cancer death rate in the United States. p. 550 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 11, 2024 PAGE -550- MINUTE BOOK 31 That drop equates to 3.1 million fewer cancer deaths between 1991 and 2023; and . . . . Whereas, the Cleveland Bradley Relay for Life in 2023 was chosen by the American Cancer Society as the number one Relay in Tennessee, the Southeast United States and the entire Nation, NOW THEREFORE, I, Kevin Brooks and the Cleveland City Council, do hereby declare April 20, 2024 as: “Relay for Life Day in Cleveland, Tennessee” Mr. Belew thanked the Council for their support over the years. This year we will again have the ice cream sandwich eating contest and Councilman Cassada agreed to participate again.

APPROVED AS TO FORM: /s/John F. Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Kevin Brooks, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk c. Motion – Staff to proceed with preservation of the Cherokee Chieftain. TO: Joe Fivas, City Manager FROM: C. Seth Sumner, Transportation Planner DATE: March 7, 2024 RE: Recommendation on Chieftain SUMMARY: Following the Council’s conversation about preserving the Cherokee Chieftain in November, as the weather is turning favorable for preservation efforts this spring, the time is nigh for action. Staff has researched best practices and products for preservation of the wood and has obtained costs from a local service provider. With the help of the service provider, staff has identified the following process: gently clean the existing surface, use Bora-Care for pest prevention, repair holes and cracks with wood-epoxy, and stain/seal the wood with a transparent and natural colored restoration product. This level of care should be provided annually or biennially to best protect and preserve the Chieftain. COMMITTEE FINDINGS: No Committee or Board action. FISCAL ANALYSIS: Staff have received a quote for services from a local vendor who has previously performed similar services for the City of Cleveland. Freddy Mora is available to provide services for $4,500. Attempts to obtain other quotes from qualified vendors have been futile as calls have not been returned. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approve funding the services of Mr. Freddy Mora and select the natural stain and sealer color to be used on the Chieftain. Staff further recommends that this process be considered as regular annual or biennial maintenance, as needed, for further protection and extending the life of the Chieftain. d. Resolution 2024-27 – Authorizing the Mayor to sign an agreement with Locality Media, Inc dba First Due for software to be used by the Cleveland Fire Department. p. 553 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 11, 2024 PAGE -553- MINUTE BOOK 31 RESOLUTION 2024-27 WHEREAS, the Cleveland Fire Department is requesting that the City Council approve of the attached software agreement between the City and Locality Media, Inc. doing business as First Due; and WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to accept the attached agreement with Locality Media, Inc., and to further authorize the Mayor to execute the same on behalf of the City of Cleveland. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Cleveland, Tennessee, in regular session assembled, that the City Council does hereby approve of the attached agreement with Locality Media, Inc., and it further authorizes the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City of Cleveland. [on file in the City Clerk’s Office.] This 11th day of March 2024. APPROVED AS TO FORM: /s/John F. Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Kevin Brooks, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk UNFINISHED BUSINESS Mr. Fivas stated the Facility Use Agreement with Cleveland City Schools was on the agenda of the last meeting and since that time, there have been a few questions, so to make sure we get it right we have placed it back on today’s agenda if the Council wishes to modify the agreement. One main issue is the use of the tennis courts for practices. Cleveland High teams uses all seven courts during games and tryouts and the agreement was written that they have five out of the seven courts for practice. That allows two courts to be for public use during practice times. Mr. Hal Taylor stated he understands when teams practiced, they ran into issues with people trying to use the courts and he believes signage would help, identifying court practice times for the teams. He thought five courts for practice were okay, it was just the signage. Councilman Hughes asked if they were agreeable with five for practice and two for free play. Seven for games and tryouts. You will not need them after the tennis season is over in mid- April. Mr. Taylor stated he hasn’t spoken to the Athletic Director, but his understanding was needing signage for practice times. Councilman Hughes stated he spoke with the Athletic Director, who said they needed seven courts for practice, as they have 24 players and during the season he feels that is reasonable. Mr. Taylor stated yes, I’m sure we could use all seven but can live with five. Mr. Kimball stated if you want to modify the agreement you can do that by motion. Couniclwoman McKenzie asked about extending the practice hours for five courts. Mr. Kiser stated it would benefit our students to extend that time and seven courts. We are willing to work with the City with any number of courts you provide. This is a brief period during the Spring, and we are willing to work through any issues. Councilman Hughes moved to modify the agreement to allow for seven courts to be used during the practice times for the Tennis season. Mayor Brooks stated the motion dies for lack of a second. Councilman Cassada asked if this could be tabled to the next meeting to have the Athletic Director, Coaches and tennis community come in for additional discussion. Mayor Brooks stated this item will be added to the March 25 agenda. REPORTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS Councilman Hughes had no report at this time. Councilman Webb had no report at this time. Vice Mayor Johnson had no report at this time. p. 554 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 11, 2024 PAGE -554- MINUTE BOOK 31 Councilwoman McKenzie had no report at this time.

Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Kevin Brooks, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk FEBRUARY 20, 2024 BUCHANAN ROAD ANNEXATION ANALYSIS PLAN OF SERVICE CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 17.5 acres located at Buchanan Rd. 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 2024. p. 556 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 11, 2024 PAGE -556- MINUTE BOOK 31 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 resolution. 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. The property consists of two parcels, approximately 17.5 acres total. The annexation would zone the property as PUD Planned Unit of Development. This is a vacant lot and a single family detached dwelling community is proposed. The property is described as Tax Map 065 Parcels 040.00 and 044.00.

A conceptual plan (Exhibits B) for PUD50, Buchanan Road was prepared for submission to the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission for consideration in the regular meeting on February 20, 2024. The conceptual plan consists of a site plan for the overall development. However, additional drawings, documents, and permits routinely required for a subdivision are expected for review and approval prior to construction. All development within PUD50 must be consistent with this Conceptual Plan with regard to development standards and general layout unless subsequently modified by agreement of the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission. Additional plans, plats, and other development-related documents and permits will be necessary to carry out the construction of this project. It is recognized that the plats and site plans for the Buchanan Road may ultimately reflect some alteration in the conceptual plan such as the exact location of each specific feature within the development. Other variations may include the width or alignment of streets, or the precise placement of buildings, but these will be generally consistent with the conceptual plan, mutually consistent with one another, and not violate any features of this ordinance as these relate to adjoining properties and infrastructure (e.g. external intersection locations and traffic improvements, buffers with external properties, etc.). 6.B. PLATS. One or more plats will be prepared for the PUD50 property by the Developer for approval in accordance with the City of Cleveland, Tennessee subdivision regulations. These plats will describe and dedicate public streets and any other public properties; identify lots; and identify easements that are necessary for various purposes within the development such as utilities, access, maintenance, and conservation, etc. These plats shall be consistent in general layout with the conceptual site plan. 6.C. PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS. The Developer shall prepare and implement such master covenants, restrictions, condominium association documents, common area agreements, and the like which the Developer determines are necessary to carry out the development of PUD 50 as envisioned herein. It is a requirement of this ordinance that such documents are in place and enforced by the Developer (or Developer’s heirs, successors, or assigns) to the extent necessary for PUD 50 to function as described herein. The City of Cleveland assumes no responsibility to review these documents, or to determine their adequacy to these purposes, or to enforce any of their provisions, or to otherwise be a party to them. Section 7. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The development standards for PUD50 shall be those established in this ordinance or incorporated herein. Where development standards are not otherwise included in this ordinance, the standards shall be those in the R2 zone from the City of Cleveland’s zoning regulations and townhouse regulations from the subdivision ordinance.

If the overall development layout differs greater than 20% from the site plan shown in exhibit B then a revised conceptual plan must be reviewed by the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission.
