Council approves engineering services for LPRF grant; city manager reports May sales tax increase and water-loss figure
Summary
The Crossville City Council approved recommended engineering services for an LPRF grant and heard the city manager report showing May sales tax up by $37,000, water loss at 18%, and sidewalk project nearing completion.
The Crossville City Council voted to accept the recommendation that Kimberly Horn be contracted to provide engineering services related to the LPRF grant.
A council member moved to accept the recommendation; another council member seconded. After brief procedural questions about the scoring and the engineering department’s involvement, the motion carried on a voice vote.
During the city manager’s report, the manager said, “The sales tax was up for the month of May by 37,000.” The manager also reported that beer tax and hotel occupancy tax for year ending 2025 were down, while the liquor tax increased. The manager said a new human resources page has been added to the packet that shows years of service, employee of the quarter, new hires and vacancies. The manager reported water loss at 18%.
Project updates in the report noted the sidewalk project is complete with a punch list of items remaining; the council previously approved extending the contract to September to finish remaining work. Light poles and finials remain to be completed, and planters on Main Street have been filled with rock “by recommendations of BCI,” according to the manager.
The transcript does not provide contract value for the engineering services or the LPRF grant amount; those figures were not specified in the excerpt.
