Nut graf: Council members said they needed more information — specifically from the school system about bus routing — before altering traffic controls at Eighth and Cedar. Meanwhile the council approved two subdivision street acceptances and authorized a traffic-calming device after brief discussion about notifying neighbors when the city installs speed humps or stop signs.

On the four‑way stop: a council member asked to defer the item so staff could consult with the school board about bus routing and any impacts to school buses. Councilwoman Michael seconded a motion to defer; the roll call approved deferral to the next work session.

Street acceptances: By roll call, the council approved Resolution 25‑11 to accept Cambridge Court (Cheatham Estate subdivision, phase 2, section 2) and Resolution 25‑12 to accept Shannon Court (McCord subdivision) into the city’s ownership and maintenance program. Councilman Robertson moved both approvals; Councilman Crutcher and Councilwoman Michaels provided seconds on the separate items, and the motions carried.

Speed hump: The council approved Resolution 25‑13 to authorize the purchase and installation of a speed hump on Old Farmington Road. Council discussion raised neighborhood-notification practices: one council member said future processes should give residents advance notice when the city installs traffic-calming measures. Staff noted this location is a unique case where a single owner holds multiple properties on the block and that the city had contacted affected property owners, including a commercial owner of nearby warehouses.

Ending: The council approved the speed hump and accepted two streets into the city system. The four‑way stop decision was postponed to allow coordination with the school board and further staff review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lewisburg City Council May 13th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Lewisburg City Council postponed a vote on Resolution 25‑09, which would install a four‑way stop at Eighth Avenue South and Cedar Street, and approved three other traffic and street items: acceptance of Cambridge Court and Shannon Court into the city street system and authorization to purchase and install a speed hump on Old Farmington Road.","taxTitle","Lewisburg City, Marshall County, Tennessee","taxId",54314,"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},6238853,"Lewisburg City Council defers vote on resolution supporting TVA Columbia Dam after public comments",1651,724000,2375000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3345860-02ede5bee90b053ddb3c12ae0f3a0c95&start=724&end=2375","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3345860-02ede5bee90b053ddb3c12ae0f3a0c95/thumbnail_724000.jpg","/articles/6238853/Lewisburg-City/Marshall-County/Tennessee/Lewisburg-City-Council-defers-vote-on-resolution-supporting-TVA-Columbia-Dam-after-public-comments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6238853-fe0c76e7eca3d53d31b4676098d4df67/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209903&Signature=eqrh~uSN5iXEOz3ENyqmMMPzdQOhQLIAQCZ~P8gBkwblNWaO0SCG1mxS093EijVqO8SQDVEbrKRWinyBx6eG3ys2D0tlkt3EfJ-MGiFmF2m3aQOsoyjnBoEDP~~I8PvxQk~OUuLP0Gsux2C0hrHGuYiZKRq8O62GtSc-~rQhSGZJ2iAW7CKX7mQNUg-4krYzsHX9KvTxkdd9pMmYdFrY5r56im7mnYY7bbo9UJ1nGpjeBzAYf3VcR13gy~uXIDGN1RB7vuFaie-PZmhYNlHy9bos7uYz14EF8ybv7N8TXEIAvoRSx47IJbCPdUySrorVNgAos37hh5HHiYNq9WoMdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lewisburg City Council deferred consideration of Resolution 25‑10, a resolution to support the TVA Columbia Dam project on the Duck River, after multiple residents spoke against the project and council members asked for more time to review the issue.

Residents pressed the council to withhold a formal endorsement while statewide and regional planning work proceeds. “This project has been tried before,” said Jessica Lindbergh, who gave her address as 802 Franklin Avenue. Lindbergh said earlier dam efforts displaced families, cited prior construction costs, and urged the council to allow the Duck River Watershed Planning Partnership to complete its work before taking a position.

Nut graf: The resolution before the council would have signaled Lewisburg’s support for a proposed TVA project that residents and speakers warned could have large environmental and fiscal consequences. Speakers pointed to historical costs, endangered species in the Duck River, and alternatives recommended at a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation forum; council members ultimately moved to postpone the vote to allow more discussion.

Public speakers framed their concerns around cost, ecology and local capacity to absorb growth. Lindbergh told the council that construction of earlier reservoir projects between 1969 and 1983 cost $883,000,000 and said current estimates now exceed $600,000,000. She also noted that two endangered mussel species live in the Duck River and that the river is extremely biodiverse. “Without the river, we don’t have a home,” she said, and asked the council to “vote no on the proposed resolution.”

Other residents raised similar themes. Jennifer Dodson said she grew up on the Duck River and urged council members to consider alternatives before supporting a dam. Michelle Davis Head, who identified herself as a former loan officer in Marshall County, said she sees local shortages of housing and groceries and asked how the county would fund the schools, roads and services that accompany new development. Eros Jales described long-term declines in water levels and urged conservation and alternative water-management measures.

Council discussion focused on the need for additional information and coordination with state planning efforts. Councilman Crutcher moved to defer consideration; Councilman Robertson seconded. The roll call vote approved the motion to defer the resolution to the July council meeting.

The record: Resolution 25‑10 — “a resolution to support the TVA Columbia Dam project on the Duck River” — was not adopted and is scheduled for further consideration at the council’s July meeting.

Ending: Council members and speakers said they want more detailed fiscal, environmental and operational information before the council takes an official position. Several residents asked the council to consider alternatives that would protect the Duck River’s biodiversity while addressing local water needs.","After multiple residents urged caution and raised environmental and financial concerns, the Lewisburg City Council voted to defer Resolution 25‑10 — which would have expressed support for the TVA Columbia Dam project on the Duck River — to the July meeting for further discussion.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6238840,"Local Eagle Scout proposes community 'tattered flag' drop boxes for proper retirement",63,355000,418000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3345860-02ede5bee90b053ddb3c12ae0f3a0c95&start=355&end=418","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3345860-02ede5bee90b053ddb3c12ae0f3a0c95/thumbnail_355000.jpg","/articles/6238840/Lewisburg-City/Marshall-County/Tennessee/Local-Eagle-Scout-proposes-community-tattered-flag-drop-boxes-for-proper-retirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6238840-af058078a421b637a514c15f8f48761a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209903&Signature=MR2~wESOBIE3kvd1qXXjy5Na5kELYyz6XhVTRsHwdPnAYgNxQUnPw5DSQPstsviuGFvBH4VxETMwf6dVYYVADPToGBheMxO2HNnOTCTvFvQJ9N4E~u3fm-kkPpeMhr6QD8yc4J0OdOs3XlQL8zfM-ZNzhTS54DpdhLPsVfh8MC3V52CJOVJPWiZnvaOPRTOntORixeAVD6UAzOwD0yZ6f4fnq5xvubcU4eDn4VJJp1QkuRVYoap1OpCZzH42HG0~lZw7feiTCMPg-wSKjWXTSknVMbOQjk3QkQuNh1Wv69xkyUSck8nkcOzxMghX3FMlEPKiD2NEaQuoxQ7yhdaWFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Garrison Lewis told the Lewisburg City Council he plans to build “tattered flag drop boxes” as his Eagle Scout project so residents can turn in worn U.S. flags for proper retirement.

Nut graf: The proposed boxes would provide a permanent, convenient option for flag retirement in Lewisburg. Lewis said proposed locations include the Marshall County Library, Columbia State Community College and either City Hall or the courthouse annex; he will begin fundraising and purchasing materials after he receives final sign-offs in his Eagle workbook.

“My plan is to build what I'm calling tattered flag drop off boxes,” Lewis said. He told the council that school and work obligations caused some delays, but he expects to finish construction by the end of the month to allow time for completion of his Eagle requirements.

Ending: Council members thanked Lewis for the project and encouraged him to proceed with fundraising and construction. No formal council action was required.","Garrison Lewis presented an Eagle Scout project to build secure drop boxes for worn U.S. flags, proposing locations at the Marshall County Library, Columbia State Community College and either City Hall or the courthouse annex; he plans to complete construction by the end of the month after final workbook signatures and fundraising.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6238844,"Council reads proposed citizen input rules requiring name and three‑minute limit; no vote taken",56,439000,495000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3345860-02ede5bee90b053ddb3c12ae0f3a0c95&start=439&end=495","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3345860-02ede5bee90b053ddb3c12ae0f3a0c95/thumbnail_439000.jpg","/articles/6238844/Lewisburg-City/Marshall-County/Tennessee/Council-reads-proposed-citizen-input-rules-requiring-name-and-threeminute-limit-no-vote-taken","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6238844-ca56d60ae546554556a64b60bab51b54/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209903&Signature=cbTvrRfFNxWI2iFmUjoZ9ht6IQnUudYHW~jEqDNWlsyOTjVxpHvlP11ntmAVi99brCIATePbIXaxvkYnXv1vSK8SmO36EfZSwY2-csDiTkY54dMrALlLOkKHT2YmlzuicAUtFKm2orv2UPw8X3G6HG66j6hYaa37is7TIvL-fHOoh3tatKVM927azIFlHKuQG9xdU6rqpq6ZH5ZGCwD~lhURxyFLuCNNd~GkHpETV7k~TJikIzDPc81ODz9XTfVFEbgHY4PtBLMwz4q4trIf~MiOTAgvQNCaVeUBQlehF6bqYdRgLnK4GRdiFGu6gR49c8H6BcWOtFR2U399CyJ70w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The council heard a staff reading of a proposed resolution that would formalize rules for citizen input at Lewisburg City Council meetings. The resolution specifies recording a speaker’s name and address, a three‑minute time limit per speaker, prohibition on personal attacks and religious comments, and a rule limiting repetitive comments on the same subject to three minutes.

Nut graf: The proposed text was read aloud to the council and public, but there was no motion or roll-call vote to adopt it during this meeting. The reading makes clear the specific requirements under consideration; adoption would require a subsequent council action.

The resolution text read by staff begins with a preamble citing the mayor and council’s intent to allow citizens to address the council and then lists specific conditions: speakers must provide name and address for the record; they must describe subject matter; there will be no voting during citizen input; speaking time will be limited to three minutes; speakers should address the council rather than the audience; personal attacks and religious comments are disallowed; and no more than three minutes will be allowed for the same subject. The text also requests that attendees exit the property in a timely manner after adjournment.

Ending: The item was presented to the council by staff and is on the record for future action; the council did not adopt the resolution at this meeting.","Council staff read a proposed resolution setting rules for public comments at Lewisburg City Council meetings — including a requirement to state name and address for the record and a three‑minute time limit — but the council did not vote on the proposal at this meeting.","actionData","errors"]
