A council member moved to approve items 5a–5o, noting those items had been discussed at the previous work session and by department heads; another council member seconded and the motion passed on a voice vote recorded as “aye.” The transcript does not list the individual consent items’ contents in the excerpt.

During the city manager’s report, staff said sales tax receipts were up for the month and hotel-motel occupancy tax increased, while liquor and beer tax collections were down. The manager reported recent payments and work on Livingston Road and Northside Drive, and continued improvements at Meadow Park Lake, including concrete added to RV sites. The city’s annual budget was submitted on time.

The manager said staff is pursuing grants for fire/EMS ambulance equipment and operations, noting two programs identified in conversation with the Upper Cumberland Development District: the Community Development Block Grant (annual; opens in March) and FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (timing not specified). The transcript records that FEMA program availability is uncertain and staff signed up for notifications.

The council recognized Justin Trogglin as employee of the quarter; the manager said Trogglin is a mechanic in the maintenance department with roughly 20 years’ service and had helped during a period of short staffing.

After the report, the council proceeded to other business and later closed the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Crossville - City Council - Jul 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Crossville City Council approved the consent agenda and received a city manager report showing mixed revenue trends and ongoing capital work.","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},6511052,"Crossville beer board approves item contingent on code approval; mayor pro tem declines to vote",30,47000,77000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5338955-4bdb6de1379e7372198eb24e6087262a&start=47&end=77","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5338955-4bdb6de1379e7372198eb24e6087262a/thumbnail_47000.jpg","/articles/6511052/Crossville/Cumberland-County/Tennessee/Crossville-beer-board-approves-item-contingent-on-code-approval-mayor-pro-tem-declines-to-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511052-fcb8a27b6d885213ade917a8d42f50ce/orig.mp4?Expires=1776690328&Signature=hs~Dgjizv4bYPLtAHwQ7hsadOZPIyZc70eEkhf4Xj54KLOzMa162cijD4hBho28Bij2FlRcMyZCTUkBxKiv1vqeYR42wwoKvGW7ZGcZm1gizPrnBM4IroJJcZ7diWbC14-mJSr8QacARWMiFMLxuKEEVaE7R8WyKPS5IS8TyiXylH9fOJeZokohMlbDOImKlSiRNVQ-RCyoShR6MUDBYGkY9WIePJnk-eYYPsCTR8O3l-v-6dyuwOMtg94XG1YJGVLcHhCZTa5IfyXOio7ldtiYRjLFLxUUKYn15u5TYIFp8Y9OdRhRjoenO1tk9wrxaUMElkJ9h3-b~11BLTCUdpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Crossville — The Beer Board convened and approved an item by voice vote with the caveat that final approval is contingent on subsequent code-department clearance, according to the meeting record. The board chair (not identified by name in the transcript) asked for a motion to approve contingent on code approval, received a second and called for a voice vote; the motion passed.

The transcript records a follow-up statement that Mayor Pro Tem Gert had a potential conflict of interest and did not cast a vote on the Beer Board matter. After the board concluded, the meeting record states: “Motion carries. That concludes our beer board meeting.”

The item’s substantive details, including the licensee name, license type, and applicable code sections, were not specified in the recorded excerpt. The board made approval contingent on later confirmation that the item complies with city code.

The council then transitioned from the Beer Board portion of the evening into the regular city council meeting, beginning with a public hearing on annexations.","The Beer Board approved an item subject to later code-department approval; the board voted by voice and the meeting record notes Mayor Pro Tem Gert did not participate because of a potential conflict of interest.",{"_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},6511056,"Crossville council grants sewer connection variance for property outside city limits",256,663000,919000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5338955-4bdb6de1379e7372198eb24e6087262a&start=663&end=919","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5338955-4bdb6de1379e7372198eb24e6087262a/thumbnail_663000.jpg","/articles/6511056/Crossville/Cumberland-County/Tennessee/Crossville-council-grants-sewer-connection-variance-for-property-outside-city-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511056-50e32797930edb18b8d1477d24003534/orig.mp4?Expires=1776690328&Signature=A9P40KTmdKeiRmRBr6Wd2PMGs6uihMfjuni6yVpjWGBf56EuwBBeQHPC5~3GqvKVU-myJtFqko1v26OXp2KqLVl5P3FGmSBZV1xjpbRPY9e-cfPxl6c-xqaVbcOAVOaFg6oqJxXOYfhNsEXl-BERh6f7-hsL3WBmdy-HlgY-SGgNMF9urG-eads2szI6jb9W07qCIA5MRNIH8hoCw2GYYtF0OWTz4tt4TYqMsdz~sJtcRjtD5EikeIUY2aN8UrFeyGmF4aibRfuF3TLORbeZxI9ZSQNS-ToqE8t2EJPTBEKrGCzmRzMuoYrzgaKs4qcVgJBwMcZ~dwMSGQXwg6Dqtw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Crossville — The Crossville City Council voted to allow a property owner identified in the meeting as Miss Hernandez to connect to the city sewer system despite her parcel being outside city limits. The council approved the variance by roll call after members discussed a prior miscommunication about requirements tied to a recent ordinance change.

A council member moved to permit Miss Hernandez to join the city sewer system and described the applicant as having acted in good faith when seeking information about requirements. The motion was seconded and called for a roll call. Council member Turner, Council member Fox and Council member Mayberry voted yes; Mayor Pro Tem Gert and Mayor Crawford voted no. The motion carried by a 3–2 vote.

The discussion recorded that the property has no house on it and no failed septic system. Council members asked whether city sewer is available near the parcel; the transcript records that city sewer runs through the property. The applicant indicated the intended use would be “practically the business,” not a residence.

Council members noted the timing of the request around the adoption and reading of a “third ordinance” that changed requirements; one council member said that timing and prior information given to the applicant influenced the decision to grant the variance. During discussion, a council member said they wrestled with fairness concerns about granting sewer access to an out-of-city property while other properties pay city taxes.

The council’s action did not specify an implementation schedule, fee amounts, or any administrative conditions beyond granting the variance. The transcript records the council referring to the matter as a variance on the relevant ordinance but does not identify the ordinance number or any follow-up tasks for staff.

The meeting moved next to the city attorney’s report after the vote.","The Crossville City Council voted to allow a property owner, identified as Miss Hernandez, to connect to the city sewer system despite the parcel being outside city limits.
