TOWN MANAGER'S AGENDA REPORT
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Report Dated Friday, November 12, 2010
Agenda Item #8 Unfinished Business
a. Rural Development Funding for Wastewater Projects
As you recall, we learned last spring that no construction funding was available for the wastewater projects identified in the planning study we conducted. While there is still no additional funding, Rural Development staff advise that we submit the planning study for approval in case additional funding becomes available. While we are not committed to the scope of work identified in the planning study, I have signed an authorization for our project to be submitted to the state Rural Development office for review.
Agenda Item #9: New Business
a. Presentation on Library Expansion
Representatives from the Southside Regional Library and the Clarksville Area Public Library will present Council with a conceptual plan for expanding the library into the building formerly occupied by the Clarksville Chiropractic Center.
b. Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission met on Monday, December 6 to hold a public hearing on a Special Use Permit request from Patrick C. McClaugherty to install a 5 ft x 7.5 ft off-premises sign on the side of the Wachovia driveway wall advertising Affordable Carpet Cleaning. This sign will replace the existing Howerton's Antiques sign and will be one-fourth the size of that sign. There was no
opposition from the public, and the Planning Commission recommends that Council grant the special use permit request to allow the sign.
c. Proposed Revision to Substance Abuse Policy
Please see Enclosure #1. The Town has not updated its Substance Abuse and Drug Free Workplace Policy since it was adopted in 1994. The revised policy and the Workplace Search Policy are recommended for adoption by our Town Attorney.
d. Budget Amendment Please see Treasurer's Report.
