CMCSS staff ask board to declare Woodlawn Tower surplus so contractor can remove 30-year-old structure
Summary
At a study session, operations staff said the county’s 30-year-old Woodlawn Tower must be demolished to meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements and asked the board to declare it surplus so a Motorola contractor can schedule removal at a contractor-paid cost of $30,000; no formal vote was taken.
Operations department staff told the Clarksville‑Montgomery County School System (CMCSS) board at a study session that the district’s 30‑year‑old Woodlawn Tower must be demolished to meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements and that a Motorola contractor will pay $30,000 to remove it.
The board heard the proposal as a first reading. “In order to do that, we do need to deem and declare the old Woodlawn Tower surplus property so the Motorola contractor can schedule the demolition,” Operations department representative said during the presentation.
The operations presenter said the plan was developed in coordination with Montgomery County Emergency Services, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the state of Tennessee and the city of Clarksville. The presenter said the contractor will cover the removal cost and that the work will not require taxpayer funding.
Board members did not take a formal vote on the item during the study session. The presentation was identified on the agenda as a first reading; no formal motion or outcome was recorded in the study‑session transcript.
The district did not provide a timetable for demolition during the meeting and did not provide further contract or procurement details. The operations presenter did not give a contractor name beyond “Motorola contractor” or provide a formal motion-maker or seconder for declaring the tower surplus.
The Woodlawn Tower item will appear in meeting materials for a future formal meeting for further consideration, according to the study‑session packet referenced by the presenter.
Ending: The board received the operations report as an informational first reading; any formal declaration of surplus property and scheduling of demolition would require later board action and documentation of the contractor arrangement.
