The effort matters because staff said the road geometry north and south of the intersection near the tunnel creates hazardous conditions that have contributed to collisions; the proposed striping changes aim to simplify lane configuration, provide dedicated right‑turn lanes and introduce the city’s first buffered bike lanes on both sides of Dayton Boulevard. “There is a buffer and exclusive bike lane on each side,” staff said during the presentation.

Transportation staff member Mr. Pham played a design video showing the configuration changes and described the safety rationale: the current layout can present drivers with four paths at different speeds when turning from frontage road ramps, and the new geometry reduces that to two tracked lanes plus a queuing lane. The presentation noted TDOT’s resurfacing start date (staff said the work was scheduled to begin July 20, 2025) and explained that as TDOT removes and replaces pavement marking the city will install coordinated striping to match the new geometry. Director Tate said the city’s requested funds for striping total $36,800 and that Chattanooga and TDOT worked with the same contractor (Superior Pavement) to secure pricing across the corridor.

Commissioners asked about green pavement markings at conflict points for bicycle crossings; staff said green pavement coloring was not included in the current last‑minute striping pricing and that the city would need to return to request additional funds or negotiate with the contractor to add green pavement in identified intersections later. Staff also discussed minor signal modifications needed in coordination with the city’s signal contractor and noted enhancements on the Chattanooga side of the corridor.

The presentation noted that the design and TDOT approvals are in place for much of the work but that one area north of the intersection falls outside TDOT’s jurisdiction and is a city project to be funded locally. Staff emphasized coordination with TDOT and Chattanooga and said the project would result in two bike lanes (one each direction) and improved lane consistency through the corridor. The transcript shows the striping request as Resolution 25‑18‑12; the excerpt does not include the final recorded vote on the consent agenda.

Less central details: the presenter gave brief historical context about the corridor and said the city has conducted community engagement over the past two years; staff noted the project would include resurfacing through the tunnel section and additional signage adjustments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","7/15/2025 Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","Staff showed a video and described planned pavement marking, striping and bike‑lane installations for State Route 8 (Dayton Boulevard) timed to a TDOT resurfacing project; the city requested $36,800 to fund local striping changes to create consistent lane geometry and the municipality’s first bike lanes.","taxTitle","Red Bank, Hamilton County, Tennessee","taxId",71190,"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},6168953,"Red Bank to join Chattanooga on one‑time interlocal agreement for Stringers Ridge erosion repair",87,1489000,1576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5405825-b7a18c8be2c8e16b263dbd95a9b63b6e&start=1489&end=1576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5405825-b7a18c8be2c8e16b263dbd95a9b63b6e/thumbnail_1489000.jpg","/articles/6168953/Red-Bank/Hamilton-County/Tennessee/Red-Bank-to-join-Chattanooga-on-onetime-interlocal-agreement-for-Stringers-Ridge-erosion-repair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168953-21a7db5503f520a0fcb3c4dbf2f96224/orig.mp4?Expires=1770700775&Signature=Avk3z5BfuyE8BSBdOIDrUtpYQhebW25IORZxN~z1iPAMwJ2zi1LsEGrVFi~IeQ-Da7yo3sGS7dD~JVkGjKP5Rd0bZdyHvhILSDcpBKmOeJEPY5PeHljF~H3OeR81fdFvsJa8ic8JtYfmKLvXJNAVyU9NFTSay-fsZj5TLMt8TCR453IOANb5AS9lYQmJuHbAeIHzGCYX7xDJC~D3diG3eqk6bskQwZ0i7HnHmVlr8h822XPmqo6kk0H0pQpDjtCZozkw25l17tPtxd1UunW8w4V17xePNff8DhA9kdRUwalMfuTyVxObCobdZ~yNi58YU7Tw4MyyFluG6teoRxfHUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the commission they have drafted a short‑term interlocal agreement with the City of Chattanooga to share the cost of immediate erosion repairs on Stringers Ridge and to allow the Southeast Conservation Corps to perform restoration work on the Red Bank side.

The item is presented as a one‑time interlocal arrangement because Stringers Ridge is co‑owned by Red Bank and Chattanooga, and staff said the longer‑term interlocal remains under negotiation to clarify insurance, property ownership and contracting responsibilities. “We are actually working on another long term interlocal agreement with City of Chattanooga since both Red Bank and the city of Chattanooga both co own, Stringers Ridge,” Mr. Grama said.

Staff identified the Gueyo Connector Trail (near the Richmond Apartments) as a section with “pretty rough erosion.” The Southeast Conservation Corps, sourced by Chattanooga, will perform restoration work later in July and will invoice Red Bank for up to $10,000 for the city’s portion of the cost under Resolution 25‑18‑07. Staff said the Corps had submitted required certificates of insurance and that both cities had coordinated to ensure coverage on the Red Bank side.

Commission discussion focused on procurement, insurance and the need for a clear long‑term interlocal that specifies which jurisdiction is responsible for insurance, contracting and maintenance when work occurs on co‑owned property. Staff said the short‑term agreement is intended to allow immediate repairs while the comprehensive interlocal is finalized.

The item matters because staff said the overall project was funded through a $1,615,183 TDEC award plus local matching funds of $480,000, yielding a stated total project amount of $2,279,578; staff described the contract before the commission as a site work procurement necessary to renovate the detention pond footprint and convert portions of retention/detention features to improve aesthetics and safety.

Director Slay described the technical aims: converting retention areas that hold a permanent pool to detention functions that temporarily hold stormwater and release it more slowly, regrading slope conditions, removing overgrowth and debris, and improving maintenance access. “This project will also grade down the slopes of those ponds so that our parks and recreation and recovery boats that are safely able to know that and keep that down,” Director Slay said. Staff said the contract has been vetted by the engineering team and TDEC as part of the grant process and that a pre‑construction meeting was expected within a week or two after final contract execution.

Commissioners asked whether the contract covered all site work and whether additional resolutions would be required for earthwork. Director Slay replied that the single contract with Big Woody's Tree Service would renovate and take care of the entire pond, and that the firm has partnered with a general contractor for portions of the site work. One commissioner observed that the low bidder’s price was roughly $140,000 lower than other bids; staff said the engineering team reviewed the bidder’s qualifications and met with the low bidder to confirm scope and experience and that the bid fell within the project’s projected cost range.

The staff report named the vendor as Big Woody's Tree Service LLC and described that although its company name references tree work, the firm will perform comprehensive site and bank work for this project. The staff presentation referenced Resolution 25‑18‑10 as the authorization item and indicated the project is funded in part with ARPA and the TDEC water infrastructure grant; the transcript shows detailed discussion of procurement, insurance and partnership with another general contractor on the site work.

The transcript does not include a final recorded vote on the consent agenda in the excerpt provided. If approved, staff said construction activities would begin after contract execution and pre‑construction coordination with the contractor and TDEC.

Clarifying details discussed during the meeting included the grant and match numbers noted above, the vetting of the low bidder by engineering staff, and the expectation that the contract package would be finalized and ready for a pre‑construction meeting within one to two weeks of contract signing.

Less central details: staff described past maintenance challenges, overgrowth and debris accumulation in the pond, and some historic references to the procurement timeline during the TDEC review.","City staff presented a resolution to authorize a not‑to‑exceed $204,000 contract with Big Woody's Tree Service LLC for a White Oak Park detention‑pond restoration project funded by ARPA and a TDEC water infrastructure grant; staff described the project scope and grant match details.",{"_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},6168961,"Trust for Public Land seeks $50,000 contract to advance Red Bank parks and trails",799,361000,1160000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5405825-b7a18c8be2c8e16b263dbd95a9b63b6e&start=361&end=1160","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5405825-b7a18c8be2c8e16b263dbd95a9b63b6e/thumbnail_361000.jpg","/articles/6168961/Red-Bank/Hamilton-County/Tennessee/Trust-for-Public-Land-seeks-50000-contract-to-advance-Red-Bank-parks-and-trails","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168961-2d1af77897628fabfc8996de46f036e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770700775&Signature=ka6Qn5kTgaYDlTEbGW1hJdwHNTrk8JE~y1kwdQxnOdscSxWQ5Vg9Elu1qIKVaZV6VJWyxfBHdTcYMwHMjnC1SiMiT5uNSI5yiOtLsuepqvSOa54Azcs7Sei9A-vgvHDbBHLhVFcsVUMI4H6K1ssRJK4BzPm9tzaT3VkRgx9qqhY8OHHg0N5lIhJhAn0ppenkQeo3r~nfl-FPAVtoig4ZV887F9XeuJsZsLFUBOM8k3eLnokyH01KQHku5IgZU6c1wE7rJVNhdAgeAHUyK7T2V6YfkwijZ7Fwi3iOYb-JF1~nmZhIzkT3ohEcvXpmsiENEyePKQaC8Dtd~hHprK~EJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A representative from the Trust for Public Land told the City Commission of Red Bank during a work session that the nonprofit has invested in local parks and trails projects and is requesting the city authorize an on-call parks and recreation support services agreement and contribute $50,000 to help continue the program.

The request matters because the representative said the city contribution would be used to leverage substantially larger private and public funding to advance a multi-project program that includes trail connections, cultural‑resource work at a historic site and small community grants. “We respectfully request $50,000 from Red Bank to continue that work,” the representative said.

Trust for Public Land (TPL) staff described recent local investments and programs. The presenter said TPL has been active in the area since 1994 and noted that since 2018 the organization has invested “a little over $700,000 in partnership with the city of Red Bank.” Project elements cited included the wider connector project, design work for trails, community outreach, a three‑year anticipated budget “around a million dollars” for the suite of projects and small grants to community partners (the presenter said community support grants have risen to about “a quarter million dollars”).

Daniela (Danielle) Peterson, identified by the presenter as the project lead for the cultural‑resource/historic site work, described next steps for the sensitive project at Stringers Ridge including a cultural resources survey, continued community engagement and outreach to historical stakeholders. “Daniela is leading that in a very careful cautious way,” the presenter said, and added the National Park Service had provided or drafted a $75,000 review grant for preservation evaluation.

City staff described procurement and legal review steps tied to the on‑call agreement. City staff member Mr. Grama told the commission the city issued a request for qualifications, received four responses and evaluated TPL as the highest‑scoring respondent; he said the contract has been approved by the city attorney and is being brought forward as a consent‑agenda item under Resolution 25‑18‑09. Mr. Grama and the TPL representative both described the city contribution as a lever that typically unlocks significantly more private funds — the presenter said TPL’s annual contracts with partner cities often enable roughly tenfold private fundraising relative to the municipal contribution.

The presentation emphasized that TPL does not generally perform construction work itself: the organization said it serves as a project champion, facilitator and manager, and will use standard procurement (RFP/RFQ) to select contractors, secure certificates of insurance and coordinate legal transfers of property when needed. “We contract with professional contractors that have the insurance, the license, the equipment, the manpower to do that work,” the presenter said.

The item was placed on the consent agenda for consideration as an on‑call parks and recreation support services agreement “to perform policy advising, land management best practices, private sector fundraising … in an amount not to exceed the budgeted amount of $50,000” (Resolution 25‑18‑09). The work session record shows the subject was discussed but does not record final commission action on the consent agenda in this excerpt.

Details the commission discussed included the intended leverage effect of a city contribution, TPL’s history of local investments, the nonprofit’s role in design and community engagement, and the organization’s commitment to using contractors for construction once projects are shovel‑ready. Commission members asked about volunteer roles and whether TPL crews would perform physical construction; the presenter said TPL would procure contractors through RFPs and would not perform the contracted construction labor directly.

If the commission votes to approve the contract and contribution during the consent agenda vote, city staff indicated that the contract would be executed after final signatures and that TPL would continue design, outreach and grant‑ready work.

Less central details: the presenter referenced other partners (Blinder By Co‑op was mentioned), private philanthropy for the wider connector base project, and that some property negotiations remain confidential at this stage. The presenter and city staff said more specific project schematics and cost breakdowns (for example the number of shade structures for other park projects) would be provided as design work advances.

For clarity: the work session transcript records the presentation, the city staff recommendation and placement of the item on the consent agenda but does not show the final consent‑agenda vote in the provided excerpt.","The Trust for Public Land outlined multi-year projects in Red Bank and asked the City Commission to authorize an on-call parks and recreation support services agreement and a one-time $50,000 contribution to leverage private funding and advance trail, park and cultural‑resource work.","actionData","errors"]
