Cleveland City Council meeting recap
The Cleveland City Council met on Monday.
During the meeting, several announcements were made about events in the area. 'Tire Take Back Day' will take place on September 28th at the Bradley County Judicial Complex from 8 am to 12 pm.
The 'Tennessee River Rescue' will take at Tinsley Park on October 5th from 9 am to 1 pm.
'Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day' will be held on November 2nd at the Bradley County Judicial Complex from 8 am to 12 pm.
City Manager Joe Fivas said he believes the downtown ribbon-cutting event for the new Inman Street Project and Johnston Park renovation will happen sometime in November.
City Manager Fivas and the Council also discussed grant opportunities for a new homeless shelter and transitional housing. Councilman Estes expressed a desire for a commitment from the County Commission on the project. Right now, between Federal HUD money, the city, and the county, there is $1.35 million in funds potentially available.
The Council approved a resolution to annex about 177 acres of land at Brymer Creek Road, Johnston School Road, and Mason Road.
The Council passed several resolutions authorizing the Mayor to sign agreements with vendors, including with the Southeast Tennessee Development District. This is in connection with the environmental review compliance for a 5-year Consolidated Plan, with TDOT related to the Mouse Creek Greenway Phase VI, and with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security for community traffic safety enforcement and education.
Mark Cheney was appointed for a five-year term to the Municipal Airport Board.
Councilman Duane Goff was appointed to the Storm Water Committee.
Councilman David May was appointed to the Shade Tree Board.
The Council also authorized the Cleveland City Beer Board to issue a Special Occasion Beer Permit for the 'Witches, Wine & Spirits Stroll' to be held on October 26th from 6-10pm. The event will be located on 1st Street NE between Church and Parker Street NE. The motion passed 4-2.
