Representatives ask Crossville council for $21,000 to finish museum HVAC for new veteran exhibit
Summary
Representatives for a local military museum requested about $21,000 to complete the 2nd-floor HVAC so the museum can open a dedicated veterans section; council said the item is not budgeted and will require three readings before any funding is approved.
Representatives of the local military museum asked the Crossville City Council for about $21,000 to complete the HVAC system that would serve a new veterans section on the museum’s second floor.
"The 2nd Floor has no heating or air conditioning," the museum representative said, noting that the museum has already drawn about 1,600 visitors since reopening and that the veterans section had previously been located downstairs and felt too crowded there.
Council members reviewed prior contributions and grant efforts: the chair noted the county had provided funds and that the city contributed $28,000 last year for downstairs work. The chair said the HVAC request is "not a budgeted item, so it will require a vote after 3 readings." A council member added that the museum was continuing to pursue grants.
Council agreed to add the request to the agenda for consideration and directed staff to list it for the ordinance/resolution process that requires three readings before allocation of funds.
Next step: the museum request will be placed on the agenda for the statutory readings required for budget amendments or an appropriation.
