\"I literally had to dig through totes this time to pull out my high school diploma and my college diploma and my work certifications,\" Payne said, describing personal losses and saying she cannot enter her house. She asked the council to consider demolition of the home and requested \"meaningful, substantial, swift changes.\" Payne said several neighbors remain without heat and that the flooding problem has persisted in the neighborhood for decades.

Mayor (name not specified) addressed the council earlier in the meeting about the same storm event, thanking city departments for their response and directing residents who need help to the city's online registration portal at cmcresponse.org. \"This will not be a quick or easy nor inexpensive problem to fix, but we will get to the bottom of it,\" the mayor said and added the city is \"working closely as we did today with state and federal governments to make FEMA relief available as quickly as possible.\" The mayor also thanked the street, fire rescue, police and electricity departments for their response.

Payne said she has been before the council multiple times over the prior nine months about recurring flooding at her property and that the most recent event left the home's interior submerged to a degree she described as greater than prior floods. \"This shouldn't be the case,\" she said. \"I'm still paying a mortgage and utilities on somewhere that I can't even go to. That's unacceptable.\" Payne concluded by congratulating the newly appointed chief of police, saying \"we need change.\"

The council invited public comments per its code, allowing up to three speakers with five minutes each. After Payne spoke, the council moved to a closed attorney-client briefing; no additional public comments were recorded in the transcript. No formal council action, funding commitment, or timeline for remediation was announced during the public comment period recorded in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Special Session - February 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Clarksville homeowner described losing most of her belongings for a second time in under nine months and urged the City Council to take \"meaningful, substantial, swift\" action; the mayor pointed residents to a city response website and said the city is coordinating with state and federal partners for potential FEMA relief.","taxTitle","Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee","taxId",4858,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6324575,"Clarksville council unanimously ratifies Charles Tyson Burdine as police chief",457,219000,676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2337933-40038de4571348d635db91e561a8a423&start=219&end=676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2337933-40038de4571348d635db91e561a8a423/thumbnail_219000.jpg","/articles/6324575/Clarksville/Montgomery-County/Tennessee/Clarksville-council-unanimously-ratifies-Charles-Tyson-Burdine-as-police-chief","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6324575-7d1d4e385fa82babe30c6d1e34686172/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208026&Signature=BIffNV6EYTM642txMo58ecu0LBe8HwI2SGEiH6lWCXRF5zBsv32yGg-~YxzjjaZHAjsDVlOML3F5bopsu~vXG3vHdgBLmaGSmloEIn3yBssUArjS0n8nC02FUOf40GU-S~vx~WJcGNOXtcTIOPLcIFcN2Blp8bbvzLKh~1VEkouQRL80Dwo9d5humhyBOPH6xD~p34SItqo6XxH2zoQ0UXhWu0e3PdzD-6MEBtmSUzdkabR926CSSEH4RBTYbJIS7l0iigs49~A-foeS-3HgJ~StxZp-W7hOsKVVgc3Mus-Rm5OPw~yFd4gG6spmBbemWe-enUraLtsupD~wBOqffw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Deputy Chief Charles Tyson Burdine was unanimously approved as Clarksville's next chief of police on Feb. 18, when the City Council voted 9-0 to ratify the mayor's nomination.

Mayor (name not specified) told the council he was \"pleased and honored\" to submit \"Charles Tyson Burdine to you to be the eighteenth chief of police for the city of Clarksville,\" and introduced Burdine before a brief period of questions and comment from council members.

The appointment matters because it places a long-serving department leader into the top leadership role during ongoing operational challenges, including recent severe weather responses. The council adopted Resolution 41 20 24 25 to ratify the mayor's appointment.

Deputy Chief Burdine told the council he has served with the Clarksville Police Department for nearly 28 years and that he values community trust. \"We want to be trusted,\" Burdine said. \"We share the same values of integrity, doing things right. . . . Those who do [make mistakes] will be held accountable and we'll train from it.\" He also described involvement with youth programs, saying the department's JET and CRU teams operate in local schools and perform outreach beyond enforcement.

Council members offered public praise during the meeting. Councilman Streetman said he was \"very excited\" about the nomination and that Burdine had \"very big shoes to fill.\" Councilman McLaughlin and others cited the department's progress under prior leaders and expressed confidence in Burdine's ability to continue that work.

The council then moved to a formal vote; the clerk recorded a 9-0 tally in favor. The resolution's passage makes Burdine the confirmed chief; the council announced a public swearing-in and a farewell for outgoing Chief David Crockwell scheduled for Feb. 28 at 9 a.m. at the Womer Rudolph Event Center.

No amendments or conditions to the appointment were recorded during the meeting. The council did not assign additional follow-up tasks or reporting requirements on the appointment during the session.","The Clarksville City Council unanimously approved Resolution 41 20 24 25 to ratify Mayor's nomination of Deputy Chief Charles Tyson Burdine as the city's 18th chief of police. Council members praised his decades of service; a swearing-in and a farewell for outgoing Chief David Crockwell are scheduled Feb. 28.","actionData","errors"]
