A board member said the board sent 14 letters to local companies and received no local responses; two out-of-state firms submitted proposals that the board found did not match the project's expected bookkeeping scope. The board described the work as tracking inflows and outflows and producing basic beginning-and-ending balances for auditors, not a full nonprofit-style financial statement or ongoing audit.

Board members discussed the qualifications needed (bookkeeping experience vs. CPA) and said the assignment likely requires bookkeeping and standard accounting familiarity rather than a full CPA audit. One board member suggested Johnson, Hickey & Murchison in Chattanooga as an established firm that handles similar clients but said the board preferred to pursue local candidates first.

The board took three steps: it voted to reject the current bids, authorized Nathan to contact local CPAs and bookkeeping firms to explain the scope and solicit candidates, and directed staff to rebid the work with clarified parameters. Members said they will return with candidate names and then vote to approve an individual contractor.

A member noted timing constraints for filings and reporting and urged staff to move quickly; staff said the project's office expects to receive information through August or September, allowing some time to onboard a local contractor if selected.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Crossville - Sports Authority of the City of Crossville - Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After receiving no local responses to a solicitation for bookkeeping/auditing services, the board rejected the current bids, authorized staff to contact local CPAs for candidates, and voted to rebid the request with clearer scope and parameters.","taxTitle","Crossville, Cumberland County, Tennessee","taxId",71189,"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},6534005,"Board accepts two small parcels from City of Crossville for new facility site",104,592000,696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3641113-ba09f0635a77e38e9d31a97b76f226ee&start=592&end=696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3641113-ba09f0635a77e38e9d31a97b76f226ee/thumbnail_592000.jpg","/articles/6534005/Crossville/Cumberland-County/Tennessee/Board-accepts-two-small-parcels-from-City-of-Crossville-for-new-facility-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534005-dd33bcc696cc45a0aa9a9010148b8aa0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180680&Signature=Ltq73oqXq2faHb8QXlm-iwGlKt~5E0eR9Bo8riSKD2Uyg2SILkbODQg30EEWwoO6qJeRsrjwemAYt3G2pyF5nX9Elb~6Qg69RBNUrK5EBpvGDprR7p83ECM2rPOH4tOj~icLXsBv08J7APMFbourbZSBB5wyGfnWQ6aU~O7MIYZMFhtN~~lm3iQBc37ntNdpw1Y5HWqTO2GzFXrvyLlKjjSLQ7s~~LDkKjHorSHu4ZZi5OANiCmo5ct-UNSav9f-fmngwMG~gVGp~-yw7G-q3WvyVr6RxDWjW4W~saB-Xl2tnUahOcXe1YLQYku4ja7vJjCgX1QKZ3QMfOxSRrsy7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members voted to accept two small parcels from the City of Crossville that had not been included in an earlier property transfer related to a new facility.

A staff member explained the parcels consist of a small triangular piece in front of the property where the sign sits and a very small portion adjacent to the right of way near Key Street. The parcels were described as \"very small\" and as part of the original property intended for the facility.

Board members asked clarifying questions about location and use; there was general agreement to accept the parcels so the facility site would be held in a single ownership. A motion to accept the property was made, seconded (mover: Ethan; second: Rob) and approved by voice vote.

The board noted the city council will discuss a related vote next week, and staff said the acceptance would allow the board to proceed with consistent site control for signage and related uses.","The board voted to accept two small parcels — a triangular sign parcel and a small strip near Key Street — that were omitted from an earlier conveyance from the City of Crossville.",{"_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},6534010,"Crossville board approves wiring to allow emergency generator hookup at new facility",156,191000,347000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3641113-ba09f0635a77e38e9d31a97b76f226ee&start=191&end=347","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3641113-ba09f0635a77e38e9d31a97b76f226ee/thumbnail_191000.jpg","/articles/6534010/Crossville/Cumberland-County/Tennessee/Crossville-board-approves-wiring-to-allow-emergency-generator-hookup-at-new-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534010-ce7f4c7bdd6bdb00f311987366eebe8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180680&Signature=QpktkkxIVSnKaT85JFItCXx4SIRL7xMiH76ZRHjAkILvjfWsaqqGokPuvYSnVEk3TRTkfsBCjgiEZCf8bQFzzYVjhiT~DUS3SBmRmK4q3xfTI1kx0A0iU1BwgR37ntQW5OfRKngo6VSM1WdzLCuruO2H5dMUIZtkKr43VOWPrvosI9LWovBCf49QMAc1Y5pLDKR8tPDvPy1-RjS4WcYHeb6~4S9kr4OgrH2rI1E77iJ~e7AWDlGncqGkmhJKggc3EjZCmgZbAwsuUYFoiMlsY0yXjP~dZOiW5-W9~OyK1RwJ2un1ZhE7e7Z7RTb5pf9SyX7RhhDkuwqfi1m-2KTzRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Crossville board members voted to authorize work to wire a newly constructed facility so a portable emergency generator can be connected, a step officials said would let the building serve as an emergency shelter in future power outages.

A project representative told the board the contractor re-evaluated early estimates and revised the cost down from about $150,000 to roughly $82,000 for the electrical work needed to make the building generator-ready. The board’s action authorizes using contingency money from the ongoing construction project rather than issuing a change order.

The representative said the wiring covers the transfer switch and hookups needed to accept a brought-in generator but does not include purchasing or permanently installing a generator. \"We were originally looking at somewhere around a hundred and $50,000 for this…it's an $82,000 item,\" the representative said. He added the work makes it \"very seamless\" to bring a generator in and start it when needed.

Board members emphasized the hookup would supply only essential systems needed for a temporary shelter — showers and other basic services for a few hundred people — rather than powering large loads such as full air conditioning or the pool. \"You're not gonna bring a generator in to fire up that entire building to run the air conditioning or the pool,\" a board member said; the project representative confirmed the hookups are sized for essential services only.

Members discussed potential funding and partnerships. One commissioner recalled earlier conversations about pursuing FEMA funds for emergency-shelter work and noted those grants carry \"a lot of hoops and hurdles.\" The board also discussed borrowing units from nearby utilities or renting generators if the town needed to house people after a disaster; a member noted that utilities often need their own units first in region-wide outages.

A motion to approve the wiring was made on the floor and seconded; members voted in favor and the motion passed. The contractor said it will log the expense and, at project closeout, deduct the wiring cost from contingency through a documented change order so remaining contingency funds can be returned to the project budget.

Next steps include executing the wiring change from contingency funds and documenting the cost in the project's financial log for final reconciliation.","Board members approved using project contingency to pay about $82,000 to wire a new Crossville facility so a portable emergency generator can be connected for use as a shelter. The work covers transfer switches and hookups only; the town would still obtain or borrow a generator when needed.","actionData","errors"]
