(other motions will be required at the time of final award) If Council does not want to do the project at all: 1. Motion to reject all bids 2. Motion to close out the contracts with EG&G, Community Development Partners, and grant agencies and negotiate settlement for work performed.

Direct the City Manager and Director of Engineering to negotiate a contract for engineering services Councilman Marlow stated that he would like to go forward with the project either in its entirety or modified, but preferred entirety. Councilman Kerley asked about how the grant funds could be used. Mr. Rutherford City of Crossville Page 3 City Council Minutes April 8, 2014 responded that the grant funds are specific to this project. Councilman Souza wanted to move forward on it because that is his vision and it has worked before in other communities if everyone pulls together. Mayor Pro-Tem Wyatt asked about the contracts with the engineers and grant writers. Mr. Rutherford reported that he had requested that information, but it has not been received. He showed the plan for every intersection when the project is complete and believes that it will be impossible to make the turns. He will only support the water lines and the sidewalks being changed to ADA compliance . Further, there is about $3.6M in grants with strict requirements for compliance. He would be agreeable with an abutment project for the beautification portion, if the property owners are willing. Mayor Graham reported that he had changed his priority because of the 10 year capital plan, the department budget requests, and the Northwest Connector. Councilman Kerley suggested adding street lighting to the motion, but Mayor Graham did not agree to an amendment. Councilman Souza requested that the motion include stormwater, but Mayor Graham declined to add it to his motion. James Mayberry addressed the Council with his concerns of dragging an 18 month project to 3 years. He also asked for the cost for the water lines and sidewalks. Mayor Graham replied that he thought the cost was about $1.8M for the water lines, bud didn't know about the sidewalks. He also asked about the cost to cancel the project, but no information was available. As for an earlier comment about all the requirements to use the grant funds, he questioned whether all the requirements weren't already in the plans. Mayor Graham replied that all the grants have local matches. Mr. Mayberry noted that TDOT will be involved in both the Northwest Connector and the downtown project and asked for the amount of "beautification" in the downtown project. Mayor Graham responded that approximately 80% of the project is infrastructure. Mr. Mayberry pointed out that the project should lessen the truck traffic. Leanne Smith expressed her disappointment as she and her husband have recently bought the triangle building and are renovating it into their residence. She sees a vision for the area and would be willing to pay more in taxes. She also pointed out that the sidewalks are in bad shape. A motion was made by Mayor J.H. Graham III, seconded by Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, that all bids be rejected, contracts with EG&G, Community Development Partners, and grant agencies be closed out and settlements be negotiated for work performed, and the City Manager and Director of Engineering be directed to negotiate a contract for engineering services with EG&G for water lines and ADA sidewalks with sidewalks to be constructed block by block by City crews through the operating budget over 2-3 years.

Marketing Report City of Crossville Page 7 City Council Minutes April 8, 2014 April Marketing Report: Marketing Director Billy Loggins provided an update on the following: · TVA Sustainable Communities Program · Tennessee Dept. Economic and Community Development · April Events · Summer Music Series at the Amp · Volunteer Expo · Trail Building Work Session · Choice Directory · 2014 Water Fest Event · Event Sponsorships……Economic Opportunities This Report was received and filed 6. Other Business a. 3rd Reading of Ordinance amending §14-500 pertaining to sign code Councilman Souza stated his concerns with automatically approving any existing signs when an annexation is approved. City Manager Rutherford explained that, while the proposed ordinance accepts any existing off-premise sign, their status will be reviewed in the Plan of Services and requirements to bring them up to compliance to the city code could be a condition of annexation. Cathy Tipton, representing the Friends of Peavine Road who are dedicated to preserving Peavine Road, spoke to the Council. Their interest is in scenic parkways and they have requested TDOT to designate Peavine Road as a scenic parkway. She made note of the many scenic parkways within the county and their benefits. She requested that the final reading be deferred for further study. Mr. Rutherford responded that the original annexation request was for sewer access and did not mention the issue with the signs. A letter has been received from TDOT indicating that it was a city decision since the property is now in the city. Mayor Graham pointed out that the proposed new signage will be an improvement from the current signage rather than a detriment. Flynn Signs have indicated that the current signs will be replaced to meet current requirements. Councilman Kerley pointed out that the location could be considered as fronting either Dunbar or Lantana Roads. It was noted that the Council approved a waiver for the signage at that location in an earlier vote. A motion was made by Council Member Jesse Kerley, seconded by Mayor J.H. Graham III, that this Ordinance be adopted on third reading. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 4- Mayor J.H. Graham III, Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, Council Member George Marlow and Council Member Jesse Kerley Abstain: 1- Council Member Pete Souza b. Discussion and action on approval of Amendment #3 with HCP Grant Contract In 2010, the City entered into a contract with The Nature Conservancy to provide a City of Crossville Page 8 City Council Minutes April 8, 2014 liaison for the development of the Cumberland Habitat Conservation Plan. They agreed to reimburse the City up to $9,102 per year for salaries and expenses related to this project. This contract was extended in 2012 and 2013 to cover the period through 3/31/14. Since 2010, the City has received $4,956.32 to reimburse salary and expense costs. A request was made to extend the contract through March 31, 2015. City Manager Rutherford explained that the draft plan is expected to be completed in 18 months or so and he would like to have the staff's time reimbursed. He recommended approval. Councilman Souza explained his problem with the City being involved with the US. Fish & Wildlife Agency on a plan that would cover land outside the city limits. A motion was made by Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, seconded by Mayor J.H. Graham III, that the Contract amendment be approved as recommended. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 3- Mayor J.H. Graham III, Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt and Council Member George Marlow Nay: 2- Council Member Pete Souza and Council Member Jesse Kerley c. Discussion and action on SIA CoLinx Cox Avenue Utility Relocation TDOT has requested that the rainbow plans for the water and sewer relocation be submitted by April 3. This was not a realistic date but the project is a fast pace project and is scheduled for a bid letting in August. The Director of Engineering requested a proposal from Fields Engineering for the utility engineering. Fields Engineering submitted proposals for the work with an hourly rate and a price not to exceed $33,475.20 for the water and $28,790.85 for the sewer. It is anticipated that the final engineering cost will be well below the estimate unless TDOT requires changes. A motion was made by Councilman Pete Souza, seconded by Councilman Jesse Kerley, that contracts with Fields Engineering be approved, contingent on final reading of the budget amendment, and a budget amendment be passed on first reading. 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 d. Discussion and action on Northwest Connector Sections II and III As discussed at the work session, Council needs to determine direction on the Northwest Connector, Sections II and III. If Council wants to proceed with the contracts with Gresham Smith and Partners and Sam Pipkin and Associates: 1. Motion to rescind the action taken on January 14 for the 3rd reading of the budget amendment. 2. Motion to pass the budget amendment on 3rd Reading 3. Motion to rescind the action taken on March 11 to send out RFQ’s for engineering services If Council does not want to proceed with Gresham Smith and Partners and/or Sam Pipkin and Associates, but does want to proceed with the project: City of Crossville Page 9 City Council Minutes April 8, 2014 1. Motion to rescind the action taken on January 14 for the 3rd reading of the budget amendment. 2. Motion to pass the budget amendment on 3rd Reading 3. Motion to cancel the contracts with Gresham Smith and Partners and/or Sam Pipkin and Associates and negotiate a settlement for payment of any work that has been done If Council does not want to proceed with the Northwest Connector at all: 1. Motion to cancel the contracts with Gresham Smith and Partners and/or Sam Pipkin and Associates and negotiate a settlement for payment of any work that has been done Councilman Kerley recommended that since Council scaled back the downtown project, this project should be scaled back to 3 lanes, which would provide savings on the land acquisition. City Manager Rutherford responded that the plans for 5 lanes have already been approved by TDOT and the Federal Highway Administration . Councilman Souza commented that he also would like to scale it back to 3 lanes and his concerns that the creek might have to be mitigated. Mayor Graham pointed out that the environmentals are already completed and will not require mitigation. Councilman Souza also expressed his thought that less lanes might change the need to move existing utilities. Mayor Graham stated that the curve in Section II will have to be removed and a new bridge constructed. He reminded the Council that the original subdivider who gave the original road and right-of-way to the city has already received a commitment from the City that the land will revert back to him if and when the road is moved north in exchange for his donation of land for the new road. Director of Engineering Tim Begley stated that the current bridge will be removed , which is just a culvert and will be part of the mitigation. Councilman Marlow pointed out that a change in the number of lanes won't have a significant effect on the cost to the City. Mr. Begley stated that the utilities will still have to be relocated. Since Section III has already been engineered for 5 lanes, Mr. Rutherford reported that TDOT will probably require acquisition for those plans or not build the project. A motion was made by Mayor J.H. Graham III, seconded by Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, that the action taken on January 14 for the 3rd reading of the budget amendment be rescinded, that the budget amendment be adopted on third and final reading, and that the the action taken on March 11, 2014 to send out RFQ's for engineering services be rescinded. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 3- Mayor J.H. Graham III, Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt and Council Member George Marlow Nay: 2- Council Member Pete Souza and Council Member Jesse Kerley e. Discussion and action on RFQ’s for Wastewater Operations As discussed at the work session, Council was requested to decide whether or not for the City Manager to issue RFQ’s for the operation of the wastewater plant . The summary from an informal survey of other cities' costs for wastewater treatment, draft RFQ, and a timeline relative to contracting wastewater operations were presented by City Manager Rutherford. Mayor Graham recommended that a more detailed contract be negotiated with whoever the management company would be and commented on the relationships established by Veolia with TDEC and other agencies. He reminded the Council of the work by Veolia to get the City off previous moratoriums and keep the City in compliance. Councilman Souza suggested that the City of Crossville Page 10 City Council Minutes April 8, 2014 City should explore other options just to be sure Veolia is the best choice , but not to eliminate Veolia from consideration. Councilman Marlow remembered the previous moratorium and its effect on the City and stated that he is very satisfied with the current service. Councilman Kerley commented that he felt the City was obligated to send out RFQ's, especially when information had been received from other providers of savings of 20% to other cities that switched. The City Manager and City Attorney explained to the Council the State law on the RFQ process which requires selecting the most qualified firm for contract negotiations. If negotiations fail, then they begin with the second most qualified firm. The City can't bid the firms against each other. To meet the current timeline, the City needs to be advertising within 3 weeks and allow at least 4 weeks for receipt of the RFQ's. A motion was made by Mayor J.H. Graham III, seconded by Council Member George Marlow, that no other action be taken on RFQs for wastewater management and that the City enter into contract negotiations with Veolia for a new contract. The motion failed by the following vote: Aye: 2- Mayor J.H. Graham III and Council Member George Marlow Nay: 3- Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, Council Member Pete Souza and Council Member Jesse Kerley A motion was made by Council Member Jesse Kerley, seconded by Council Member Pete Souza, that the City send out RFQ's for wastewater operations. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 4- Mayor Pro-tem Danny Wyatt, Council Member George Marlow, Council Member Pete Souza and Council Member Jesse Kerley Nay: 1- Mayor J.H. Graham III 7.
