CITIZENS REQUEST FOR HEARING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
Becca Duncan, Director of Helping Hands of Putnam County gave an update
on the cold-weather shelters and thanked everyone who continues to
volunteer for this effort.
HEARING FROM OFFICERS, COUNCILMEN AND CITY MANAGER
City Mayor Laurin Wheaton announced the cancellation of the March 20th,
2025 City Council Meeting.
City Manager James Mills spoke briefly about new permits that will be
required for excavation of street and rights-of-way.
"Over the past several months we have had some issues with
unauthorized excavations within our streets and rights-of-way. This has
resulted in unannounced street closures and unnecessary damage to our
streets. The City's policy is to require, whenever possible, boring under
a street instead of open cutting. As I am sure several of our citizens
would testify, a street is never the same once it has been cut.
5
Cookeville City Council Minutes
February 20, 2025
Title 16, Chapter 5, Section 16-502 provides that it is unlawful for any
person, firm corporation, association, or others, including utility districts
to make any excavation in or under any street, alley, or public property
without having first obtained an excavation permit. There are two
primary reasons for requiring a permit. First, it is simply to make sure
the City is aware. Second, the permit process will allow us to determine
if there is an alternative to excavating the street or right-of-way.
City staff have developed a new permit form. All companies that we are
aware of having previously done work within our streets are being
notified by the Public Works Department about the new permit form and
the requirements for obtaining a permit. The new permit form will be
required effective tomorrow. If you have any questions, I will try to
answer them."

DATE: February 14, 2025
Re: Consider approval of Engineering Contract Amendment #2
for the Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project
During the next City Council meeting I will be seeking City Council authorization
for the City Manager to execute an engineering contract amendment (amendment
#2) related to the water treatment plant expansion project. This amendment
modifies the amounts for construction administration and resident project
representative (full time). When the last engineering amendment was approved
last February, it basically brought us through the end of 2024, but the construction
contract was later changed by contract amendment to May 17, 2025. Also, the
Contractor has supplied a schedule showing they estimate to be done by the end of
July, but based on conversations and observations we do not see them being
complete before September. This contract amendment will carry the Construction
Administration and Resident Project Representation (RPR) through September
2025.
This contract amendment adds $94,200 for Construction Administration and adds
$124,000 for RPR service. The total add for this amendment is $218,200 and is
better shown in the table below.

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
City Manager
From: Barry Turner, Director
Date: February 14, 2025
Re: Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a City Sewer Extension (Cost
Share) Agreement with Cookeville I,LLC Extend Sanitary Sewer on Mine Lick
Creek Road
During the next Council meeting I will be seeking authorization for the City Manager to
execute a sewer construction agreement with Cookeville I, LLC to extend the sewer on
Mine Creek Road to a subdivision they are developing. The sewer line will extend sewer
to 42 existing parcels, most of which are in the Park West Subdivision, as well as to the
developers subdivision. The total estimated engineering and construction cost is $653,000,
with $147,000 of that being to install taps to the residents that the sewer line will be going
by. Based on the estimates the Developers cost will be $253,000 and the City's cost would
be $400,000 ($253,000 + $147,000). The developer would be responsible for all utility
extensions within the subdivision and for the capacity fees and tap fees for his
development.
The developer will be responsible for hiring the engineer and the contractor. When they
have construction bids we will use the actual prices to determine the City's share, but the
City share is capped at $400,000. The City will not be making any payment until the
sewer line is installed.
A copy of the agreement, which includes an estimate and drawing of the project area is
attached.
Feel free to call me or email me at bturner@cookeville-tn.gov with any questions.
COST SHARE AGREEMENT
This Agreement made and entered into by and between the City of Cookeville,
Tennessee, a Tennessee municipal corporation ("City") and Cookeville I, LLC of
of Brentwood, Tennessee ( 155 Franklin Road, Suite 150, Brentwood TN 37027),
("Developer") on the day and date opposite the respective signatures of the parties below.
WITNESS ETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer desires to develop a residential subdivision
inside the City limits of the City; and
WHEREAS, City has made a determination that it is in the best interest of
the City to share the cost of extending the City's sewage facilities from the City's
existing sewer line in the Park West Subdivision to the proposed new residential
subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the Developer is responsible for all sewer line installation and costs
of said lines within the subdivision; and
WHEREAS, Developer desires to construct sewage facilities in accordance with
the plans for the development which are being prepared by Clinton Engineering, which
will deliver the sewage to the City from the subdivision and other areas in its vicinity.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein the parties agree as follows:
I. Developer shall furnish to the City engineered sewer plans for review, for
the proposed sewer line along Park West Drive, Nova Circle, and Mine Lick Creek Road
as is generally shown on Attachment# I. Upon approval from the City, the Developer is
responsible to get state approval on the plans.
2. Any easements, rights-of-way or licenses will be acquired by the
Developer and deeded to the City prior to construction. The City must approve the path
of the sewer and any and all laterals and ancillary equipment, such as pump stations. In
the event the Developer is not able to acquire the necessary easements, the City shall
condemn the necessary easements, or if deemed in the City's best interest allow an
alternate route. The Developer is responsible for all costs and expenses associated with
contacting property owners and negotiating easements. The City is not obligated to
acquire any easements or property by eminent domain unless the City agrees that the
sewer and/or ancillary structures are necessary on the property proposed to be acquired.
All lateral lines, which the City requires to be installed, shall be installed by the
Developer at the cost of the Developer. After dedication of the facilities, the Developer
shall make no alterations, modifications, or additions to the facilities without the express
written consent of the City.
The cost of acquiring the rights-of-way will be split between the Developer and
the City equally, with each party responsible for one-half of the cost of the actual rights-
of-way, construction easements, and slope easements acquisition and any eminent
domain proceedings, including expert witness fees, attorneys' fees and interest for any
property acquired for the sewer project. If an eminent domain proceeding is necessary,
the City may require the Developer to deposit an amount of money sufficient to cover its
anticipated one-half of the cost and/or obtain a Letter of Credit to cover its anticipated
one-half of the cost. If the Developer cannot deposit the money to cover its anticipated
one-half of the cost or provide a Letter of Credit to cover its anticipated one-half of the
2
costs, the City may terminate the project in its discretion. The performance bond
provided by the Developer will cover any expenses incurred to cover this item.
Anything to the contrary nowithstanding, the City reserves the right, in its sole
and absolute discretion, to determine whether eminent domain will be used to acquire any
property rights necessary for the sewer line, and the path of the sewer line. The decision
of the City is discretionary and is final.
3. Developer shall construct sanitary sewage facilities as described on the
State Approved Plans, including junction connections for all connecting roads along the
route and taps for all existing houses. All the installation shall be done in accordance
with the City of Cookeville Specifications, and must be approved by the City of
Cookeville.
The sewer system installed shall be a low pressure, grinder type sewer system and
shall not be a gravity sewer system.
4. Developer will be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the
design, as-built drawings, property acquisition, construction and maintenance of the
facilities until they are accepted by the City.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Developer may not start
construction unti I it posts a performance bond in an amount of $500,000 satisfactory to
the City and a Certificate oflnsurance naming the City as an additional named insured
for liability purposes of not less than $2 million dollars. The City's decision on the form
of the bond is in the City's discretion and said decision is final.
3
5. The City will perform the usual engineering services during construction,
including review of shop drawings, observation of construction and final inspection and
approval of the facilities.
6. Upon completion of construction, inspection, testing and approval by the
City's engineer, and submittal and approval of the Record Drawings, the City will accept
the facilities, which shall then be dedicated by the Developer to the City and shall
become City property. Since some the lines are being installed outside of the
subdivision, a separate dedication letter is required as opposed to the dedication on the
subdivision plat.
7. The estimated cost of the portion of the sewer extension to be shared is
$506,000, with the additional cost for the sewer connections for other properties that this
line passes being $147,000, for a total estimated project cost of $653,000, as shown on
Attachment #2. The City and the developer will share equally the cost of all construction
items, excluding the cost of for the sewer connections for properties that this line passes.
The estimated cost for those sewer connections is $147,000. As estimated, the
Developer's share would be $253,000 and the City's cost would be $400,000.
8. The Developer shall take prices from contractor's and the City reserves the
right to evaluate the pricing,. The contractor shall have a valid contractor's licence.
9. Costs for the Developer and the City shall be based on actual construction
costs and not on the estimates contained herein. With the approval of this agreement the
City is committing to up to $400,000 for the construction. If, based on the bids, the City
share should be over $400,000 the Developer may pay the additional amount, or may
terminate the agreement.
4
10. Payment will be made upon the completion of the Work and acceptance
by the City of Cookeville. In no event is the City obligated to pay more than $400,000
toward the completion of this project, with the exception of the cost of easement
acquisitions, which are borne by the Developer and the City on an equal basis.
11. Payments by the City shall be made as follows: Upon completion of
construction, satisfactory testing of the work and the assignment of any easements, rights-
of-ways or licenses and dedication of the sewer line to the City, the City shall pay 95% of
the amount of its contribution. Upon receipt of a notarized release of lien waivers or
other satisfactory proof of the payment of all contractors and subcontractors and the
receipt of as-built drawings, the City shall pay the remaining 5%.
12. The Developer shall bear the responsibility for any patching that is
required for disturbance from this project including any that is done by its sub-contractors
toward this sewer project.
13. After dedication of the facilities to the City, and acceptance thereof by the
City, the Developer shall warrant the materials and workmanship of all facilities for a
period of one year. Nothing herein shall be construed to permit the Developer to deviate
from the requirements of the Cookeville City Code regarding subdivisions. Developer's
payment and performance bond shall guarantee this one year obligation.
14. It is the intention of the parties that this project be developed and
dedicated at no cost to the City except as set forth in Paragraphs 7 and 9 above.
Accordingly, the Developer agrees to hold the City harmless from any cost or expense
arising out of the development of this project, including the City's reasonable attorney's
fees, court costs and discretionary costs - this also includes any cost increase of materials
5
or labor for the installation of the improvements. Developer will provide a performance
bond to secure this obligation.
15. All lots in the proposed subdivision subdivision shall pay full price for the
sewer tap fee for cost share lots in accordance with Cookeville Municipal Code Title 18-
208(4).

sewer line project is complete, the City and the Developer agree that the Developer may
terminate this contract at any time prior to the City making any payment. Any notice to
terminate this contract shall be in writing to the City Manager. If terminated under this
provision the Developer will reimburse the City for any costs it has incurred regarding

against another merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for
one of the parties, it being acknowledged that both City and Developer have substantially

PUTNAM COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS ANNEXATION AREA, R24-05-ll, June 6, 2024
NELSON NORTH DRIVE ANNEXATION AREA, R24-05-12, June 6, 2024
The Plans of Services for these areas each address the following services: police protection, fire protection, water
service, sanitary sewer service, solid waste collection and disposal, street maintenance, street name signs, planning
and zoning, inspection services, electrical service, street lighting, recreational facilities, and natural gas service.
According to the Directors of the applicable City Departments, the following progress has been made toward extending
the services specified in the Plans of Services for the above Annexation Areas:
OLD BRIDGE ROAD/FALLING WATER RIVER AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
The Plan of Services specifies that sanitary sewer will be provided based upon the same criteria, standards and policies
used to determine the expansion of sanitary sewer service in the unserved portions of the present corporate limits.
Construction of sanitary sewer improvements for part of this area ( 111 parcels) was completed in 2015. In 2018, sewer
service was extended to nine (9) parcels on Boyd Farris Road. Approximately 63 parcels remain without sewer
service.
BUCK MOUNTAIN ROAD/DRY VALLEY ROAD AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
The Plan of Services specifies that sanitary sewer will be provided based upon the same criteria, standards and policies
used to determine the expansion of sanitary sewer service in the unserved portions of the present corporate limits. In
2023, sanitary sewer was extended to 26 parcels in this area along Buck Mountain Road and South Dry Valley Road.
EAST HIGHWAY 70N/1NTERSTA TE 40 AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
The Plan of Services specifies that sanitary sewer will be provided based upon the same criteria, standards and policies
used to determine the expansion of sanitary sewer service in the unserved portions of the present corporate limits. Two
phases of public sewer installation have been completed serving approximately 165 parcels. In 2022, a sewer project
provided sanitary sewer to seven (7) parcels along Highway 70. Construction began in December 2024, for a project
to provide sanitary sewer service to 25 parcels along South Dry Valley Road and Highway 70 East.
WEST COOKEVILLE/INTERSTATE 40 AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
The Plan of Services specifies that sanitary sewer will be provided based upon the same criteria, standards and policies
used to determine the expansion of sanitary sewer service in the unserved portions of the present corporate limits. The
installation of electric, gas, water and sewer service in the Highlands Business Park was completed in 2012/2013. All
of the water customers in this area that were served by Double Springs Utility District became City of Cookeville
customers in November 2021. South of 1-40, all water customers have been acquired and now receive water from the
City of Cookeville, therefore the city serves all the water customers in this annexed area. The design for the
replacement of the water line along Mine Lick Creek Road and on several streets off Mine Lick Creek Road to improve
fire protection in the area has been completed. When the potential realignment of portions of Mine Lick Creek Road
was discussed as part of long-range planning, WQC delayed bidding the job to evaluate areas where easements should
be acquired to potentially avoid future conflicts. Parts, if not all, of this project will be bid in 2025. A sanitary sewer
extension project was completed from 1-40 through parts of the Park West subdivision and to parcels near the 1-40
interchange, allowing 40 parcels to access sewer. The Cookeville Energy Department has determined that the area is
fully served by electric service and street lighting.
SHAG RAG ROAD AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
The Plan of Services specifies that sanitary sewer will be provided based upon the same criteria, standards and policies
used to determine the expansion of sanitary sewer service in the unserved portions of the present corporate limits. A
project which was completed in 2024, providing sanitary sewer to 22 parcels along Shag Rag Road. This leaves five
(5) parcels in this area without sanitary sewer service.
REBECCA PLACE/BUN KER HILL ROAD AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
The Plan of Services specifies that sanitary sewer will be provided within 20 years after the effective date of
annexation. Sanitary sewer service has been provided to two (2) parcels in the Rebecca Place Subdivision in 20 I 0.
In 2024, a house in Rebecca Place, Phase Ill experienced septic issues and sanitary sewer service was extended to
serve the home. Bids are scheduled to be opened on January 27, 2025 for a construction project to extend sanitary
sewer to an additional three (3) parcels in this area. An engineering contract was approved in May 2024 which will
include the design for the remaining unsewered parcels in this area.
BUN KER HILL ROAD/LOVELADY ROAD AREA
All services have been provided to this area as specified in the Plan of Services with the exception of sanitary sewer.
