Crossville meeting approves retroactive bond payment and invoice payments; discusses trail corridor, sidewalks and sediment notice
Summary
At a Crossville meeting, members approved a retroactive bond-payment invoice and outstanding invoices by voice vote, reviewed a sediment-control notice and heard a presenter’s recommendation for curb-and-gutter and a crosswalk near the sports-authority entrance; the group also discussed pursuing rail-corridor land for a hiking trail.
A Crossville meeting opened with roll call and moved through routine business, including approval of minutes and several payment motions, before hearing updates on construction and land inquiries.
The chair opened the finance portion of the meeting and a committee member moved to retroactively approve a bond-payment invoice that the group had previously agreed to cover; another member seconded the motion and the body approved it by voice vote. Later the meeting voted by voice to approve outstanding invoices after staff confirmed the items would be compared against contract amounts and that detailed invoice numbers would be shared by email.
The group was informed of a notice of violation for sediment control on a job site. The chair said the issue appeared minor — the silt fence needed correct reinstallation — and that the contractor had been notified.
Members heard a presentation about sidewalks and drainage near the sports-authority entrance. Kevin Musick, introduced by the chair as the presenter, said the current plan’s curb stops at the turn and includes a two-foot shoulder but recommended installing curb-and-gutter to improve water handling and appearance and suggested a crosswalk at the new entrance. Musick said he did not yet have final footage or cost figures and staff said they would provide cost information by email.
A committee member reported recent contact with the railroad about acquiring or dedicating adjacent rail property for a hiking trail. The member said the railroad raised questions about a utility building on the right-of-way; participants identified a small building near the fairgrounds and flagged the presence of fiber-optic conduit under or near the line, which could affect any transfer or disposal of assets. No formal decision was made; members asked staff to check ownership and follow up with the railroad.
The meeting concluded after brief discussion about fundraising and marketing for the sports facility project and a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote. The chair and staff said they would return with cost estimates and more detailed invoice documentation at a later meeting.
