that require street closures, not to close off areas that prohibit the entrances to the
downtown businesses.

County for a parking lot at the Old Handle Mill property. The County has declined that
offer.

Member Pamala Harris, Council Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James
Mayberry
b. Ordinance amending Crossville Municipal Code regarding Hotel

d. Discussion and action on making a portion of Thurman Avenue a two-way
street
Owners of properties that touch a portion of Thurman Avenue submitted a letter
requesting that this portion be changed from one-way back to two-way. The section of
Thurman in question is between Second Street and First Street. This section was a
two-way street at one time, but was changed to a one-way. City planning staff along
with the Street Department looked into the request and visited the site. The lanes
would be narrow (approximately 8 – 9 feet), with at least one wooden “telephone” pole
near the travel lane, but still adequate according to the Street Department supervisor.
The cost of stripping and signage change is estimated to be minimal. It appears that
no parking would be lost due to the change.
Planning Commission voted to recommend leaving the street as a one-way street due
to the narrow width of the street.
Council member Shanks voiced concern about voting against the Planning
Commission's recommendation.
City Manager Wood suggested lowering the speed limit on Thurman Avenue, but was
informed it was already 20 mph in that area.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, seconded by Council
Member Danny Wyatt, to accept recommendation from property owners on
Thurman Avenue to return a portion of Thurman Avenue back to a two way
street without the loss of any parking. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 4- Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, Council Member Danny Wyatt, Council
Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James Mayberry
Abstain: 1- Council Member Pamala Harris
e. Discussion and action on waiver of fees for Crab Orchard Elementary
School
Mayor Kenneth Carey, on behalf of the Cumberland County Commission, requested
that the City waive all inspection and permit fees associated with the upcoming
construction project at Crab Orchard Elementary. It is estimated the fees would be:
Estimated 120 man hours for inspections for $ 5,872.80; Estimated gas usage
2,280 miles for $1,242.60, and Building Permit Fees for $21,804.00.
A motion was made by Mayor James Mayberry, seconded by Council Member
Pamala Harris, to forfeit fees for building permits, but charge actual costs for
man hours and fuel usage, not to exceed $7,000. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 5- Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, Council Member Danny Wyatt, Council
Member Pamala Harris, Council Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James
Mayberry
f. Ratification of Private Chapter 59 relating to the City of Crossville
City of Crossville Page 11
City Council Minutes June 12, 2018
election of council members
City Council passed a resolution on January 9, 2018 to modify the City of Crossville
charter, Article 4, Section 4, Elections, whereby the number of Council Members to be
elected is changed to 7, which is 6 Council Members and a mayor, and further that the
resolution be sent to the Tennessee General Assembly to be presented for legislative
action by the House and Senate; the change would become effective with the 2018
election year, with the terms being staggered initially, with 1 additional Council Member
being elected to a 4-year term and 1 additional Council Member, the person receiving
the lowest number of votes, being elected to a 2-year term.
City Council must ratify Private Chapter 59 regarding election of council members,
which has been passed by the General Assembly.
City Manager Wood reminded the Council that a 2/3 vote is necessary in order to ratify
Private Chapter 59.
Council member Wyatt voiced that he would prefer the item be placed on a
referendum. Mayor Pro Tem Graham stated that the majority of those that have
contacted him regarding the matter indicated that 7 members are not needed because
of the expense and recent increased civility of the Council.
Council member Shanks stated that the ratio of council members to voters is fair and
that other cities with the same population do not have over 5 council members. He
also indicated that from the number of phone calls he's received regarding the matter,
that no one has been in favor of changing the number of council members to 7.
Mayor Mayberry agrees with the idea of a referendum and Council should also consider
assigning voting districts with 4 council members representing 4 different districts and
two members at large.
A motion was made by Council Member Pamala Harris, seconded by Mayor
James Mayberry, to ratify Private Chapter 59. The motion failed by the
following vote:

Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James Mayberry
g. Discussion and action on Cumberland County Expo Center
Mayor Kenneth Carey and Commissioner Wendell Wilson gave a presentation on a
proposal for an expo center during the previous work session. Cumberland County is
proposing a 1% food and beverage tax to pay for the center and a resolution from the
City.
State law provides that in order for municipalities to collect food and beverage tax,
must have a municipal airport, helicopter touring facility, and adjacent to a national
park. It is the City Attorney's opinion that the food and beverage tax could not be
charged within Crossville or Cumberland County because it does not meet the
requirements as established by state law. City Attorney stated the legislature can be
petitioned to change the law but until that occurs, the tax cannot be collected.
Mayor Pro Tem Graham stated he is in support of the Cumberland County Expo Center
and that he envisions the city/county working together (50/50) on the building project to
City of Crossville Page 12
City Council Minutes June 12, 2018
pay costs of construction and the operational expense.
It was clarified that the City is not committing financially, but simply sending letter of
support.
Mayor Pro Tem Graham asked for clarification about the collection and distribution of
the tax and if included in the motion. Mayor Pro Tem stated again that he is in total
support of an expo center, with the understanding that the City is not supporting the
1% food and beverage tax to be collected by the County.
A motion was made by Mayor James Mayberry, seconded by Council Member
Pamala Harris, to furnish a letter of support to Cumberland County Mayor of the
concept of the Cumberland County Expo Center and the potential for
increasing tourism sales tax revenue and opportunities for citizens. The motion
carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5- Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, Council Member Danny Wyatt, Council
Member Pamala Harris, Council Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James
Mayberry
A motion was made by Council Member Danny Wyatt, seconded by Mayor
Pro-tem J. H. Graham, to partner with the County for an expo center,
regardless of the collection of the 1% food and beverage tax, and be in favor of
partnering with the County. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 3- Mayor Pro-tem J. H. Graham, Council Member Danny Wyatt and Council
Member Pamala Harris
Nay: 2- Council Member Scot Shanks and Mayor James Mayberry
