Finance Committee: councilor urges delay on $500,000 Parking Commission purchase; city to donate property for Matlock Road greenway
Summary
In Finance Committee business, Councilman Marquis proposed delaying a $500,000 Parking Commission purchase pending a council decision in August on the Commission's future; the committee also voted to transfer city-owned property to Montgomery County for Matlock Road greenway development with Parks and Recreation support.
The Finance Committee presented two action items. Chairman Streetman introduced Ordinance 93 (first reading) to amend the Clarksville Parking Commission proprietary fund operating budget. Councilman Marquis (Ward 5) urged that a $500,000 purchase be delayed until the council decides whether to dissolve or retain the Parking Commission in August, saying the purchase should be triggered by that policy decision rather than a date-certain.
Chairman Streetman then introduced Ordinance 94, authorizing the donation of city-owned property to Montgomery County for greenway development along Matlock Road. Streetman said the parcel had been donated to the city years ago when the city led greenway development and transferring it to the county makes sense because the property is in the county and county plans to build the park; Parks and Recreation supports the transfer.
The Finance Committee reported both items and noted support; members said more detailed reports will follow in committee meetings. No final council vote outcomes were recorded in this transcript.
