Meeting roundup: bridge naming, equipment sales and capital approvals approved
Summary
At its April 6 meeting the Collegedale City Commission approved a bridge-naming request, declared surplus equipment for auction, funded needed ADA sidewalk repairs and approved the police-range hydroseeding and a new eCitation contract.
The Collegedale City Commission approved several routine and capital items on April 6.
Bridge‑naming request: The commission voted unanimously to support forwarding a request asking the Tennessee General Assembly to name the SR‑317 bridge the Avi/Aubby Camp Memorial Bridge; the resolution recitals described the honoree’s military service and local community involvement. Staff will forward the request to the legislature through the appropriate state representatives.
Surplus equipment: Public works asked to declare a 1994 backhoe surplus and to proceed with auction; the commission approved the request.
Rainbriar sidewalk repair: Staff reported 88 pedestrian hazards in the Rainbriar development, solicited bids and found the lowest responsive bid at $69,442.02 while the ADA budget line held $20,000. The commission approved awarding the contract and funding the $49,442.02 shortfall.
Police-range hydroseeding: The police chief recommended accepting a $16,640.80 bid that included erosion control, acknowledging the project will exceed the $100,000 budgeted amount by roughly $16,000–$19,000; the commission approved funding the overage from fund balance.
New eCitation software: The commission approved moving from the current Tyler Technologies eCitation product to a vendor called New in Blue. The vendor offered to match the city’s current annual fees and amortize a $9,600 implementation fee across the first two years, with year‑one costs around $22,150 before reverting to roughly $18,150 annually.
Roll-call votes and staff follow-ups were recorded in the meeting minutes; staff said implementation details and contract paperwork would be available in posted minutes and procurement files.
