He presented several alternatives for contributions by the City for employees to encourage participation in a Flex Spending account. A motion was made by Mayor Pro-tem J. H.

The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5- Council Member Pamala Harris, Council Member Danny Wyatt, Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, Council Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James Mayberry b. Discussion and action on TOSHA complaint City Attorney Will Ridley reported that he had received a letter from the Attorney General about a TOSHA complaint filed by a former employee. He has kept the matter confidential under attorney-client privilege and to protect the former employee. TOSHA did an investigation of the complaint, from which the City does not feel there is any liability. At that time, the City tried to enter into an agreement, but the former employee would not sign a release. Now the Attorney General's office is involved and indicated that if the City will enter into a settlement agreement of $7,170.24 paid to the employee in back pay, plus any standard deductions, the City won't be sued. As part of the agreement, the City doesn't admit any guilt or wrongdoing toward the employee, but is required to post TOSHA posters in a conspicious place. The employee's file will be purged of any documents related to their termination and no bad recommendation can be given. The City's insurer, TML Risk Management Pool, suggests settling the complaint. They will pay all costs above the $5,000 deductible. In addition, the former employee and the Attorney General's Office will sign a release of any and all claims they have against the city arising out of this complaint. (Following the meeting, the Finance Director determined that no budget amendment would be required.) A motion was made by Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, seconded by Council Member Scot Shanks, that the settlement agreement be approved upon receipt of signed releases and any necessary budget amendment be passed on first reading. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Crossville Page 2 Call for Special Meeting Minutes November 7, 2017 Aye: 5- Council Member Pamala Harris, Council Member Danny Wyatt, Mayor Pro-tem J.
