City of Crossville Page 6

utility costs for restrooms for the amphitheatre that will be the responsibility of the

d. Matters relative to lots on Waterview Drive
Councilman Souza led the continuing discussion of the potential sale of the
Waterview Drive lots. He reinterated that the lots have no foreseeable value to the
City of Crossville, are a maintenance burden, and should be returned to the tax rolls.
The City Attorney provided a copy of covenants that are currently attached to lots in
the area. These covenants could be revised and used to attach to these properties.
He did not recommend covenants with less restrictions than covenants on adjoining
properties and suggested taking the existing restrictions and reformating them. He
also stated that the bid announcement will be an offer to buy the property, subject to
acceptance of the bid by Council, and subject to the 30 day advertising required by
Charter. Mayor Graham commented that he would like to see the covenants be sold
for the appraised value or more and require a hard surface driveway, double car
garage, connection to city sewer, and four planes on the roof. Councilman Kerley
suggested adding the lots at the end on Holiday Drive to the sale. Tim Begley was
requested to provide information on those lots.
A motion was made by Council Member Pete Souza, seconded by Council
City of Crossville Page 7
City Council Minutes September 10, 2013
Member Jesse Kerley, that both lots on Waterview belonging to the City of
Crossville be placed for sale by open bid with subject bid approved by Council;
each lot bid individually and covenants applied to lots to be equal with the
residential covenants of surrounding lots, but not exceeding restrictions of the
surrounding lots; that all funds derived from sale of subject lots be used for
the Snodgrass project; that subject sale be conducted at the earliest possible
date within provisions of proper notification and legal requirements; and that
the sale be subject to the approval of covenants by Council. The motion

Aye: 5- Mayor J.H. Graham III, Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, Council Member
George Marlow, Council Member Pete Souza and Council Member Jesse
Kerley

f. Matters relative to soccer complex
Correspondence was received on August 30, 3013 from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers regarding their claim of unauthorized activities at the soccer complex. A
response was required within 15 days of the date of the letter, which was August 23.
A letter is being submitted by the environmental attorney for an extension or
continuance. City Attorney Chadwell stated that no action is required by Council at
this time. Bass, Berry, and Sims (who the City uses for bond counsel) sent a letter
stating that J. Hicks Excavating has hired them as their attorney on this issue, which
could be potentially an adversarial relationship. However, because that
representation is by a different department than bonds, they stated that it should not
create a conflict. Mayor Pro-tem Wyatt inquired as to when the City should send an
invoice to Hicks for legal costs. The City Attorney will send instructions to Mr. Staggs
to notify Bass, Berry & Sims that the City intends to pass on the costs. Councilman
Souza requested an additional executive session on the matter. A work session was
City of Crossville Page 8
City Council Minutes September 10, 2013
set for September 23 at 4:00 p.m. to discuss a potential veteran's administration
cemetery, an I/I project, report on the water/sewer rate study, and the soccer
complex.
This matter was deferred to an executive session.
g. Matters relative to Major Thoroughfare Plan
City Planning staff prepared and presented an update to the city’s Major
Thoroughfare plan to the Crossville Regional Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission reviewed and adopted the Plan on August 15, 2013.
Kevin Dean explained that many factors were used in the creation of the Plan, from
observed traffic patterns, traffic count data, infrastructure, and general growth
patterns. Input was received from the Planning Commission members and their
suggestions were applied to the Plan.
A brief summary of the changes include, an adjustment to the alignment of the
Northwest Connector, changes that resulted from the completion of Lantana Road
project, a better alignment for the connector between Genesis Rd. and Peavine Rd.
(from Interstate Drive intersecting with East First Street), Miller Ave completion (Milo
Lemert section), a new connector from Cline Rd. to Fred Ford Rd. (north of the
interstate), a new connector from Hwy. 70N to Hwy. 127N along Ivy Rd., and removal
of a section of proposed road between Hwy. 127 and Genesis Rd. (extension of
Miller Ave. near Dairy Queen).
After Council review, the Plan will be taken to the Register of Deeds office in the
Courthouse to be recorded. This Plan will supersede and replace the current Major
Thoroughfare Plan.
Councilman Souza expressed his concern for the residents of Kingsgate who do not
want a thoroughfare to Northwest Connector. He also expressed concerns about
re-routing traffic and the effect on existing businesses, making prime development for
people who will take away from the center business district, and keeping traffic
flowing into town. Planner Kevin Dean stated that a large portion of the plan shows
the plans of developers who own the land and that the Northwest Connector is
considered more of a destination route rather than to bypass the City and its
businesses. Councilman Souza further stated that the plan protects the business
people and was not healthy for Crossville.
The plan was discussed
h. Matters relative to Lantana Road Street Lights
Tim Begley reported that VEC was asked to design the street lighting system on the
new Lantana Road from Old Mail Road to Highland Drive. They have received TDOT
approval and they have bid the project. A portion of the lighting will be installed on
existing electrical poles. The combined work of the contractor and VEC totals
$251,144. The City can pay this amount and own the system or pay a monthly fee of
$2,514.40 to VEC and VEC will maintain the system. The City Manager and Finance
Director were asked to make a recommendation on how to pay for it by the next
council meeting. Councilman Marlow asked for a cost comparison with earlier
projects. It was pointed out that this project will be different from earlier projects in
that the lighting will cover five lanes of traffic.
A motion was made by Mayor J.H. Graham III, seconded by Council Member
Pete Souza, that the recommendation of the Engineering Department in
City of Crossville Page 9
City Council Minutes September 10, 2013
regards to the purchase of the lights be approved. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 5- Mayor J.H. Graham III, Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, Council Member
George Marlow, Council Member Pete Souza and Council Member Jesse
Kerley
i. Discussion and possible action on a proposal by Councilman Kerley
regarding the administration and operation of the City’s wastewater
treatment/collection system
Councilman Kerley stated the current contract with Veolia runs out in October 2014.
He asked that a study be started now by the new City Manager. He suggested that
he get in contact with MTAS for a study to see if the costs are reasonable .
Councilman Kerley reported that he was aware of another company that has taken
over several Veolia contracts for less money and that he wanted to assure the
taxpayers that their money was being spent responsibly. Councilman Souza
commented that he had talked to Clark about being competitive and he was
agreeable with an evaluation.
The matter was referred to the City Manager.
j. Matters relative to the order of business by members of the City
Council
Councilman Souza withdrew the matter as it will be discussed with the Charter review
recommendations.
This matter was tabled.
