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." MAYOR'S COMMENTS No comments.

Q. c( CIT Y OF COOKEVILLE TENNESSEE WATER QUALITY CONTROL 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.

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.

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.
