CONSENT AGENDA
November 4, 2016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Purchase of Water and Sewer and Stormwater Inspector Trucks
Background
In the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 approved Stormwater and Water & Sewer Budgets, it was approved for (1
each) 4x4 Extended Cab truck purchase for Engineering Inspection and Stormwater under Account 370 –
New Equipment-Vehicles. These are to replace 1999 and 2006 existing trucks that have 125,000 plus miles.
Currently most all the inspectors have Ford F-150 extended cab trucks. There is enough room in the back
seat to keep their construction drawings with them, but also enough space in the back of the truck for the
day to day equipment. Per the State of Tennessee vehicle bid the dealer for this particular Ford truck is the
Ford of Murfreesboro. Staff would like to move forward with the purchase because the transmission in one
of the Water and Sewer Inspector’s truck has completely gone out and we are having to use the spare on a
daily basis.
Recommendation
Staff would like to request approval from City Council for the purchase of the vehicles from the State of
Tennessee contract and miscellaneous accessories as listed below.
Fiscal Impact
The 2016-2017 budget for these vehicle purchases was $26,000 each ($52,000 total), Account 370 New
Equipment- Vehicles under rate funded capital. The contract price for each truck is $24,201.28.
Miscellaneous Accessories i.e. flashing head lights, bed liners and covers are requested as well in the
amount of $3,086.85 total. Total expenditures are in the amount of $51,489.41.
Respectfully submitted,
Darren W. Gore

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council:
RE: Item I. Fee Increases for Picnic Shelter Reservations
Item II. Holiday Pass Specials for Sports Com and Patterson
Community Center
As items for the Consent Agenda, it is recommended that Council approve fee increases for
picnic shelter rentals and approve holiday pass specials for Sports Com and Patterson
Community Center.
Item I. – Fee Increases for Picnic Shelter Reservations
Background
Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department reserves picnic shelters from March to October
every year. During winter months, and any time that a shelter isn’t reserved, it is available to the
public at no charge on a “first-come, first-served basis.” Current pricing has been in place since
2005; however, costs for maintenance and custodial services have increased. Additionally, as
we transition to online services with new software, current half-day and all-day options are not
available options in the new software. Therefore, increases are proposed, as well as the
elimination of the all-day discount. Rather than an all-day option with a discount, patrons will be
required to reserve two (2) half-day slots when needing a shelter for all day.
Fiscal Impact
Current Price Proposed Price
Small Shelters Free, first-come Free, first-come
Medium Shelters $40 half-day $50 half-day
$60 all day
Large Shelter $110 half-day $120 half day
at Barfield Crescent Park $170 all day
Proposed pricing reflects a $10 increase on the half-day rentals; however, with the removal of
the all-day discounts, reserving two half-day options will result in an all-day increase of $40 for a
medium shelter and a $70 increase for the large shelter.

The Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Commission, at its November 2, 2016, meeting

Recommendation

Item II. – Holiday Pass Specials for Sports Com and Patterson Community Center
Background

pass specials at Sports Com and Patterson Community Center. If approved by Council, this will
be the 10th holiday season for the specials, which are described below:

Monthly Passes at Sports Com and Patterson Park Community Center. This discount would

CONSENT AGENDA
November 10, 2016
Honorable Mayor Shane McFarland and Members of the Murfreesboro City Council
Background
Staff has identified a necessary update to Section 5003 of the City of Murfreesboro Employee
Handbook pertaining to Compensation and Classification. Specifically, while the City
Manager and City Council have authority to adjust employee compensation as referenced by
section (a)(5) of the current policy; “Salary adjustments may be made on an annual basis
simultaneous with and as part of the adoption of the City budget. They may also be made
during the course of the fiscal year with or without a budget amendment”, current policy does
not provide context for making salary adjustments as a result of making salary adjustments
when there is a departmental, demonstrated need to make such an adjustment for employee
retention difficulty, i.e. for a “market adjustment”.
Human Resources has worked with Departments and utilized EH 5003 for purposes of
applying experience credit for hiring new employees, salary reclassifications and for
promotional purposes in conjunction with the June 2015 Classification and Compensation
study implementation conducted by the Management Advisory Group (MAG). As Council may
recall, such adoption of recommended policies from the 2015 implementation were included
in EH 5003, set forth in August of 2015.
Market adjustments are a unique and separate salary action from salary actions already
included in the current handbook policy. Such market adjustments are typically utilized by
other peer and competitor agencies and organizations that serve as indicators of
classification and compensation trends in the marketplace for which the City competes for
talent.

P.2
Consent Agenda
EH 5003 revision
Financial Impact
There is no immediate financial impact with this recommendation. Should recommendations
for market adjustments be made by Department heads in the future with regard to this policy
revision, such adjustments will be recommended to the City Manager with regard to the
respective departmental fiscal budget.
Action Required
It is recommended that City Council approve this request to revise Employee Handbook
Section 5003 to include subsection (i) market adjustments. The City Manager joins in making
this recommendation for your approval. A copy of both the existing handbook policy and the
recommended policy change is included in this communication for your further consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
Glen Godwin, SHRM-SCP, IPMA-CP
Human Resources Director

(a) Any violation of state or federal, state, or municipal laws relating to the sale,
service, possession or consumption of alcohol;

(d) Offense Against Public Health, Safety and Welfare
(e) Menacing;
(f) Noise disturbances;
(g) Public urination or defecation;
(h) Littering;
(i) Encouraging Delinquent Acts by a Child; or
(j) Unlawful use or explosion of fireworks
(B) Unruly Gatherings Prohibited. No person shall organize or host an Unruly Gathering
if the person knows or reasonably should know that a gather of people is or could
become an Unruly Gathering.
(C) Administrative Civil Penalty.
(1) First Violation.
(a) A person who violates this Section in addition to but separate from any
criminal penalties and for remedial purposes only, shall be subject to a
penalty of $250 as an administrative civil penalty for the purposes of
partially setting off the response costs incurred by the City for
responding to the Unruly Gathering.

(b)
After an Unruly Gathering occurs on a property, City staff will notify the
owner of the property, which will include a copy of this ordinance and a
description of the owner’s potential liability for response costs under
Section (C)(2).
(2) Second Violations.
(a) If a person is cited for violation of this Section a second time within a
twelve-month period, that person shall be subject to an additional
penalty of $500 as an administrative civil penalty for the purposes of
partially setting off the enhanced response costs due to repeated
Unruly Gatherings.
(b) If an Unruly Gathering occurs at the same property for a second time
within a twelve-month period after notice is provided the owner under
Section (C)(1)(b), the owner of the property shall be subject to an
additional penalty of $500 as an administrative civil penalty for the
purposes of partially setting off the enhanced response costs due to
repeated Unruly Gatherings. It is the intent that exculpation of the
property owner by a tenant for this penalty is prohibited by T.C.A. 68-
28-203.
(3) If a child receives a citation for an Unruly Gathering or is the owner of the
property and that child, but for the child’s age, would be responsible for

legal guardian(s) are responsible for the administrative civil penalty.
(4) Financial liability under this section is joint and several.
(D) Appeals.
(1) Organizers or Hosts. It is an affirmative defense to a citation issued for a first
violation of Section that the person who organizes or hosts a gathering
contacted the police as soon as that gathering becomes an Unruly
Gathering, upon a finding that such contact occurred, the penalty may be
reduced to $100.
(2) Property Owners.
(a) If a civil administrative penalty is imposed upon a property owner, the
property owner may appeal the determination that a violation occurred
or amount of the penalty. Appeals are taken before the City Manager
who, when determining to what extent, if any, the owner should be
responsible for the penalty or penalties assessed, shall consider
evidence of the following actions on the part of the property owner to
prevent or abate the nuisance, even if unsuccessful:
[1] On the first occurrence of an Unruly Gathering, the owner has
issued a written warning to the residents of the dwelling unit
where the Unruly Gathering occurred that future violations may
result in initiation of eviction proceedings.
[2] On the second occurrence of an Unruly Gathering at the same
dwelling unit, provided the owner has not imposed upon any
tenant the administrative civil penalty assessed against the owner,
the owner has issued a written notice that termination of the rental
agreement will be initiated for the tenant(s) responsible for any
future Unruly Gatherings.
[3] On the third occurrence of an Unruly Gathering at the same
dwelling unit, the owner has initiated eviction proceedings against
the tenant(s) responsible for the Unruly Gathering.
[4] Prior to the fourth occurrence of an Unruly Gathering, provided
that new tenants replaced those who committed the previous
violations, the owner implemented reasonable precautions to
deter or prevent any additional Unruly Gatherings.
(b) In an appeal by an owner of property where ten or more dwelling units
are located, if no more than two of the violations have occurred on the
property, the City Manager shall consider, in addition to the factors
listed in Section (D)(2)(a), whether the owner implemented other
measures to prevent or discourage Unruly Gatherings, including, but
not limited to, employing a resident manager, providing a local agent
who is accessible to tenants at all times for emergencies, hiring on-site

security, and imposing strict behavioral standards in the rental
agreement that are enforceable by termination of the tenancy.

passage upon second and final reading, the public welfare and the welfare of the City
requiring it.

narrowly tailored to address and curb the problems unique to the subject areas and do
not unreasonably interfere with constitutionally protected rights, and there are ample
alternative public areas throughout the City where solicitation is permitted; and,

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council:
RE: Item I. Contract for Athletic Lighting
Item II. Amendment Number 3 to Contract for West Park A & E Services
Item III. Change Order Number 1 for Jordan Farm Soccer Practice Facility
As items for the Regular Agenda, it is recommended that Council approve a contract for
athletic lighting at Richard Siegel Park and at the Old Fort Tennis Complex, Amendment
Number 3 to Contract for West Park Architectural and Engineering (A & E) services, and
Change Order Number 1 for Jordan Farm Soccer Practice Facility.
Item I. – Contract for Athletic Lighting
Background
Richard Siegel Park and the Old Fort Tennis Complex are similar in that they are both world-
class facilities hosting elite competitions. These two facilities are partially limited to daylight
hours. The need for lights has been a topic of discussion for several years.
At Richard Siegel Park, the addition of four (4) more lighted fields would greatly enhance the
effectiveness of the Murfreesboro Soccer Club in their efforts to expand the sport. In addition,
having more lighted fields in the field rotation will certainly help reduce the wear and tear on
fields.
At the Old Fort Tennis Complex, the addition of eight (8) more lighted courts will definitely help
with the fast-growing tennis community. High school and middle school tennis players will no
longer be forced to shorten matches due to lighting issues.
Both facilities can be attributed to a significant economic impact each year. The addition of
more lighted space will allow tournaments and events to expand to increase economic impact
greatly.
Two bids were received for this proposed lighting project, one from Reynolds Electric in the
amount of $970,000, and the other from Knight Electric in the amount of $939,650, being the
lower bid.
Fiscal Impact
The low bid of Knight Electric for the lighting of four (4) additional soccer fields and for eight (8)
additional tennis courts is $939,650. These funds have been designated within the City’s capital
budget.

Regular Agenda Page Two November 3, 2016
Concurrence
The Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Commission approved for the lighting project to be
contracted with Knight Electric in the amount of $939,650.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the contract with Knight Electric to install athletic
lighting at Richard Siegel Park and at the Old Fort Tennis Complex.
Item II. – Amendment Number 3 to Contract for West Park A & E Services
Background
A Request for Qualifications and Request for Proposals (RFP/RFQ) was issued in November of
2012 in order to select a team to provide professional and technical services for the
development of a park in the west side of Murfreesboro. Evaluation and scoring of that
RFP/RFQ resulted in the selection of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., who teamed with the
following firms:
Huddleston-Steele Engineering, Inc.
Johnson + Bailey Architects P.C.
Wiser Company, LLC
Griggs & Maloney, Inc.
Gregory Peck and Associates
Denis Griffiths and Associates, Inc.
Site Design Group, Inc.
The Murfreesboro City Council approved a contract in 2013 for site selection services. With the
recent purchase of the McDonald property, we are now requesting a contract amendment to
move forward with park master planning for tasks including a project coordination and meetings,
such as a kickoff workshop, focus groups, land-owner meetings, and community meetings.
Other tasks will include surveys, base mapping, preliminary concept development, architectural
concepts, and a final master plan.
Fiscal Impact
As detailed in the attached proposed contract, services with Kimley-Horn and Associates are to
be compensated on a labor fee plus expense basis. Labor fees will be billed on an hourly basis,
and direct reimbursable expenses will be billed at 1.15 times cost.
In the City of Murfreesboro Capital Improvement Plan, adequate funding is currently allocated
for professional services for the West Park development.
Concurrences
On April 10, 2013, the Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Commission (MPRC) unanimously
approved the original Engineering Services Contract for a west park, and on July 25, 2013,
Murfreesboro City Council approved the contract as well. Amendment Number 3 to the West
Park Contract was approved by the MPRC on November 2, 2016, and the City Legal
Department has also reviewed and approved said amendment.
Regular Agenda Page Three November 3, 2016
Recommendation
It is recommended that Council approve Contract Amendment Number 3 with Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., for professional services for the development of a park in the western part of
Murfreesboro.
Attachment
Amendment No. 3 to Contract for West Park A & E Services
Item III. – Change Order Number 1 for Jordan Farm Soccer Practice Facility
Background
The Jordan Farm Soccer Practice Facility Phase 1 is currently under construction and includes
six full-sized soccer fields, as well as a parking area and entry road from Cherry Lane.
Lose and Associates, Inc., has submitted Change Order Number 1 from the project’s contractor,
Landscape Services, Inc., for the addition of rye seed to soccer fields and 500 pounds per acre
and installation of 12 Rainbird 44NP-1” quick couplers. Additionally, the Phase 1 construction
deadline has been extended to December 15, 2016.
Plans for construction were based on grass sprigging for late summer; however, delays in
construction over the summer will require an additional application of rye grass to protect the
fields this winter to allow early practice in 2017.
Fiscal Impact
The original construction contract with Landscape Services, Inc., for work on the soccer practice
fields was in the amount of $1,300,000. The contract sum will be increased by $46,000 with
Change Order Number 1 for a total contract amount of $1,346,000 with Landscape Services,
Incorporated. Funding for Phase I work will come from the 2015 CIP Plan and from a Council
approved reimbursement resolution for A & E Services and construction costs.
Concurrences
Lose and Associates, Inc., has recommended the work as listed in Change Order Number 1
from Landscape Services, Incorporated.
Recommendation
City Administration and MPRD staff request approval of Change Order Number 1 from
Landscape Services, Inc., in the amount of $46,000, which increases the contract sum from
$1,300,000 to $1,346,000.
Attachment

Regular Agenda
November 10, 2016
Honorable Mayor McFarland and Members of City Council:
Staff has one items for your consideration for the November 10, 2016 Council meeting.
Estates of Primm Springs – Satinwood Drive Barricade
Background
On October 3, Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Department along with Rutherford County EMS
was dispatched to 3110 Palomar Drive in Estates of Primm Springs for a medical call. GPS
routing equipment in the responding vehicle indicated that Satinwood Drive in Primm Springs off
Thompson Lane was the fastest route to the address. Satinwood Drive has been barricaded
between Estates of Primm Springs and Primm Springs since August 2015 in accordance with
conditions of the zoning plan for Estates of Primm Springs which required 75 percent buildout
before allowing traffic to enter Estates of Primm Springs from Satinwood Drive in Primm
Springs. Once the barricade was encountered, both emergency vehicles turned around and
accessed the address from Sulphur Springs Road adding approximately 3 minutes to the response
time. We initially received reports and inquiries from residents in Estates of Primm Springs who
witnessed the event and then confirmed the events with the on duty MFRD Shift Captain.
Prior to this medical response call, we have received calls, complaints, and inquiries regarding the
status of the barricade from residents of both subdivisions as well as service providers such as
emergency services, school bus service, and solid waste. In addition, the developer requested a
modification to the zoning plan in April 2013 to allow the construction sequencing and street
connection to be amended. That request was not approved at Murfreesboro Planning
Commission. Following plans to barricade the streets, a notification was sent to many service
providers indicating the barricade can be moved for emergency services. However, to prevent
abuse of the barricade system, a more substantial barricade was subsequently installed following
several events of the barricade being moved for convenience. In addition, we have experienced
staffing changes in MFRD due to retirement, promotion, and growth resulting in new personnel
being assigned to this area. The barricade remains in place today.
In response to this event, staff has reviewed the zoning plan and Zoning Ordinance to determine
the status of the condition as well as procedures to modify the condition of the zoning plan. The
Estates of Primm Springs included 113 buildable lots and 80 lots or 70.8%, have been created at
this time. Building permits have been issued on 72 lots, or 63.7%, through today. A total 85 lots
would need to have permits to achieve 75% or more of buildout. The subdivision has been
averaging about one permit per month and at that rate about another year before 75% buildout
permitting is achieved. However, because of phasing by the developer, a new section must be
constructed to have the required number of lots available to achieve 75% buildout. It is our
understanding that the developer is not actively pursuing construction on the next section at this
time and may be pursuing a transfer to a successor developer to complete the future phases.
We have received a request on behalf of the developer to consider a minor deviation for the level
of buildout requirement. If we conclude that the request is a minor deviation, the Planning
Director has the authority under the Zoning Ordinance to approve the request. The minor
deviation to be considered is to modify the condition for connection to Satinwood from 75%
buildout to 70% lot creation which the development currently meets. The difference is 13 permits
some of which will come from future sections (Section 3, Phases 111 and IV) that are more
convenient to Sulphur Springs Road for construction traffic as shown on the attached exhibit.
Referring to the attached exhibit, the sections labeled Section3, Phase I (lavender) and Section 3,
Phase II (blue) are currently active with residential construction while Section 3, Phase III
(yellow) and Section 3, Phase IV (green) have not been approved for construction.
Since this street was proposed for a barricade, we requested that the developer reserve a 20 foot
portion so that we would not prohibit use of a public street. While the street is physically
constructed and connected with curb and gutter and pavement, it is not technically public ROW.
If the minor deviation to change the buildout requirements is approved, the developer could
remove the barricade and dedicate this ROW within a short time period.
Fiscal Impact
None
Recommendation
Staff’s recommendation is to approve the requested minor deviation and direct the
developer to remove the barricade and dedicate the reserved 20-foot portion as public
ROW.

None

REGULAR AGENDA
November 10, 2016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
RE: Approve Contract with Kennan / Calhoun Workshop for Architectural Services on the Public Safety
Training Facility
Summary Statement
The City is ready to enter a contract for architectural services for the Public Safety Training Facility. Staff is
recommending hiring Kennan / Calhoun Workshop and the other necessary engineering and professional
disciplines to perform all design and development functions $131,875.00.
Background
Kennan / Calhoun Workshop has developed a full proposal for providing turnkey architecture, development
and construction administration services for the Public Safety Training Facility. After discussion with the
architect, staff is recommending approval of only the design and development functions at this time. The City
has chosen to use a Construction Manager on the Public Safety Training Facility and would like to review the
proposed fees for construction administration with the Construction Manager prior to City
Council approval.
The services include a space needs assessment, programming of the building floor plans and full schematic
design including geotechnical, civil, electrical and mechanical plans. Estimated time to complete this work is
15 weeks.
Fiscal Impact
The adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) funded $2,500,000 in the most recent bond issue for the Public
Safety Training Facility.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve a contract with Kennan / Calhoun Workshop for completion of
space needs, building programming and schematic design of the Public Safety Training Facility including all sub-
specialties (geotech, civil, electrical and mechanical) at a fee of $131,875. Construction administration services
are not part of this approval. The City will defer hiring construction administration services until a
Construction Manager is engaged in the project and can review the proposals for administration.
