One board member said the engineering firm returned an amended contract with a higher CEI figure and asked whether TDOT’s contract language means the state pays 80% and the city must cover the remainder if the line item exceeds the expected amount. The board agreed to defer final action and address the question in a future work session and board meeting after staff receives clarification from TDOT.

Separately the board discussed a funding request from the Star Theater. A board member noted the theater has been supported previously, owns and preserves a building on the square, and brings visitors downtown. The speaker urged the board to reconsider the theater’s current request for $15,000 and suggested restoring it at a prior level of about $5,000. A motion to consider the change was made for a future review; the transcript does not record a final vote on funding.

Both items were carried forward for further staff follow-up: the engineering contract question pending TDOT clarification and the Star Theater funding request to be reviewed during budget or a work session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pulaski Board of Mayor and Alderman - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Under old business, the board flagged an amended engineering contract for a state-funded resurfacing project that contains a higher inspection (CEI) line item and asked staff to clarify TDOT match rules; the board also discussed reconsidering a funding request from the Star Theater, asking staff to consider a reduced award.","taxTitle","Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee","taxId",59540,"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},6645897,"Pulaski board creates Chief Emeritus role for retiring police chief to assist transition",106,1233000,1339000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952&start=1233&end=1339","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952/thumbnail_1233000.jpg","/articles/6645897/Pulaski/Giles-County/Tennessee/Pulaski-board-creates-Chief-Emeritus-role-for-retiring-police-chief-to-assist-transition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6645897-522005a606873271d5c59727bc756a0e/orig.mp4?Expires=1777212396&Signature=cLspi1oLpsy9pB8yxSJvy68tSq4SEBltb5pJTZzAUgjYpOARuc~LCje6O-2azgdFJhY-gOkF-9jAsYWsK47yo9w2jCHYij6CnvyR5LolRw58UIpDvDKWF9-93cngjT6HLspa7wEXt97CAGpzEHRw-x8GXadIrpPwflOqeAre2p0aZNFXZ-NeQPxfpgR~9515I885bLKMEcg-e4ehDlEe2GrRU9eklY5D0gS18F~LAvQ0aozL3MzNCYBQ2KVe6iJQ1v6gXidluSMlfWJryE2sfJT41o8deWHVXm5occWhc~29lsow2dKh-LwNncNkK4GaSrP0ws3Fawm31mmWooUQJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pulaski board adopted a resolution creating a Chief Emeritus role for the retiring chief of police so the outgoing chief can remain up to six months to assist and advise the incoming chief.

Board members discussed the proposed resolution in which the retired chief would retain the Emeritus title and report directly to the board while the board defines the duties of the role. One speaker said, “he is going to stay for a period of up to 6 months to assist and advise the new chief,” and another clarified the title as Chief Emeritus.

Board member Massey introduced the resolution and a second was recorded. The board then conducted a roll-call vote; the transcript records board members voting in the affirmative and the resolution was adopted. During discussion members asked staff to clarify language in the resolution and to remove the word “police” from the title so it reads Chief Emeritus in the final text.

The resolution is administrative; the board will define the position’s duties and oversight. The transcript indicates the change was adopted and staff will finalize the wording prior to implementation.","The Pulaski board adopted a resolution establishing a Chief Emeritus position for the retiring police chief, who will remain up to six months to advise the incoming chief and report directly to the board; the resolution tasks the board with defining the role’s duties.",{"_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},6645902,"Pulaski adopts historic zoning guideline expansion to cover commercial downtown properties",95,713000,808000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952&start=713&end=808","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952/thumbnail_713000.jpg","/articles/6645902/Pulaski/Giles-County/Tennessee/Pulaski-adopts-historic-zoning-guideline-expansion-to-cover-commercial-downtown-properties","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6645902-926723b237497200b5e00f53f7d87b2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1777212396&Signature=nO446ws-wc0PPFfSFzQ-4ATWCKOBT~znQGbbU1vHvgaafNaS64ZaqHBNR0A6OQFGNQAvLBBuPznwVA3lfyUD~qlcdyHfY7WHykt9gycDkTX0D-ROCmM~SZVXlmTz-VWQlGtmSmAXPlMpf86ZA47NRtIZSQu~ELEOMZN81jQUU86P6NlbECS1AWFwxdUgOMKxOAejti0QKd~YIGc2hCZfwLNV6WxDh7EdccaWTzcUm5OlKMOdG5~9bY1vCN8oLZGE5zkuvMWBvii-gEIeDb72cp4kMKHs75nltGAcji7Hjv9XMZSqj7tnYAtkOBrU43XI2jDO8HtXSMniu6~CoJGa3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pulaski board voted to adopt a historic zoning guideline and ordinance that extends review authority to commercial properties beyond the residential West Hills district.

Board members said the historic zoning commission had worked on the issue and wants broader authority to review rehabs and help property owners access grant funding in the downtown area. One board member explained the change would give the city’s historic zoning commission and the board the ability to review rehabilitation work in the proposed district, while noting the state historical commission retains its separate role.

Board member Massey moved to adopt the historic zoning guideline and ordinance; Massey and board members recorded a second and then a roll-call vote. The transcript records several “aye” votes and the measure was adopted.

Supporters said the expanded guidelines would provide consistent standards for rehabs and could help building owners apply for grants. The board's action formalizes a review path that proponents said would protect historic integrity while allowing eligible properties to pursue funding or rehabilitation.","The board approved an ordinance to extend historic zoning review and guidelines beyond residential West Hills to include commercial properties in parts of downtown, giving the local historic zoning commission authority to review rehabilitations.",{"_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},6645907,"Pulaski board approves terms for potential sale of parcel near water tanks; county approval required",101,593000,694000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952&start=593&end=694","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952/thumbnail_593000.jpg","/articles/6645907/Pulaski/Giles-County/Tennessee/Pulaski-board-approves-terms-for-potential-sale-of-parcel-near-water-tanks-county-approval-required","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6645907-71f9fc582a446965f6b7aa901ee82a9c/orig.mp4?Expires=1777212396&Signature=c5sJdnXDtK1zPs9TtiR1O7cTp2HcKvrpzzPBTgs3s7MMXqU1p0w~qDyHh-4w0~vkxH56XwmDDZJxYx0HIdW78p~GHtBVyKQwTwLplB4kOlrmvFVjJ2TOZ7C3pZfyNoPUAJivEHrEjHVUQni9hZUlL4~Ixsmucwaok4HqHcE3GnQsyPs0Fka20ADwTpgFn0BPm~zpUoYLGt~iMlsw5NGb-3YnW8DeZK42itfCaeEVKDXbS5m6tRd~QLSotyBE4JCFR1gwjgTW9yvAoF7qdD1X-AP4BfiQu2c9AsOF2LC~ifxABv2ymsFAPmn9u2c9kh~xYR929aL0-ArA318DC5BGxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pulaski board approved terms that would allow the city to negotiate the sale or development of a parcel near the municipal water tanks, subject to county approval and restrictions on roadway connections.

Board members said the parcel could be suitable for development if a viable proposal emerges. Under the terms discussed, any proceeds from disposition of the property would revert to the city and county. The board also said restrictions would prevent any future owner from connecting the site to Harmon Drive or Stone Street; a buffer would be required.

Board member Massey moved the motion to approve the terms; a second was recorded and the board completed a roll-call vote in which members voted “aye.” A board member noted the county must also approve the proposal and that the city has preserved sufficient land around its water tanks to protect infrastructure.

Board discussion emphasized protective restrictions and buffers to limit new connections to nearby residential streets. The motion passed by roll-call vote; the transcript records board members voting in the affirmative.","The Pulaski board voted to authorize terms for potential sale or negotiation of a property near the city’s water tanks with restrictions on road connections; board members said proceeds would revert to the city and county and that county approval is required.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6645911,"Pulaski board discusses closing alley between Cold River and Marietta streets; survey cost condition proposed",65,367000,432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952&start=367&end=432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516776-da400324dd39cfd2e76c1304eff00952/thumbnail_367000.jpg","/articles/6645911/Pulaski/Giles-County/Tennessee/Pulaski-board-discusses-closing-alley-between-Cold-River-and-Marietta-streets-survey-cost-condition-proposed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6645911-1a4b9ec6f68e895cb657a729dd6e90f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1777212396&Signature=b~1mSuTMxy~Es9R-mxQuT0oIVQUcg2QjXQd5uNJJFBiPRZvBHM78Y70UxdtE-3Q~htKXEndg4t6RLKF9AnzaurmRVrIwF0Duqy6eAGbVQUyo0rBCqOVkrl8FzJqL9eoCE94hp5~auYr620-Z8L4~Ex-uri8PrrIfiDWZEuqNRzE3ZbO9U6TTgcuLDtKfUpbRVZoqBcLv6Tw2j6HJOfud8rooq8mRLd9kvrmGOCbkCc02VhZoKaCUocWaEFuRy~gAxcF52miGg8w5fdFSgBhAfxqnrY8Q6EHlaVSqy9QpCPg5XZX-Jg5QudmlJ1LSnvN41PEF04QMbsaQRh5stTEq6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pulaski board discussed a proposed resolution to close an alley between Cold River Street and Marietta Street and debated conditions tying closure benefits to survey cost contributions.

The proposal would abandon the alley, which board members said is overgrown and a leftover from an earlier era of carriage houses and trash removal. Board member Harrison moved “that we adopt the resolution with the conditions that the only owners that benefit are those that contribute to the survey cost.” The motion was seconded, according to the record.

Board members outlined a practical approach to dividing the alley. One speaker described parcels as “all the 10 foot wide” and said the typical approach would be to split ownership into two 5-foot strips. The discussion focused on whether the city should require cost-sharing for surveys and how to handle owners who decline to share those costs. One exchange summarized the approach: if a single owner wishes the alley closed and pays the full survey cost, that owner would receive the closure; if owners on opposite sides do not agree, the resolution would treat them independently.

The board discussed next steps including surveying the alley and, if necessary, preparing the legal descriptions. A board member said staff would verify ownership lines and obtain surveys so the city could proceed with documentation and any required title work.

The transcript shows a motion was made and seconded but does not include a recorded roll-call vote or final outcome for this item. The record therefore does not indicate whether the board formally adopted the resolution during the meeting.

Board comments on this item occurred during the agenda’s item number 5, the public record notes show survey- and cost-related clarifications were the central concerns.","Board members discussed a proposed resolution to close an alley between Cold River Street and Marietta Street and debated requiring only property owners who contribute to survey costs to benefit from the closure.
