TOWN MANAGER'S INFORMATION DECEMBER

TOWN MANAGER'S INFORMATION FOR COUNCIL
1. Website
We have had a catastrophic problem with the Town's website being sabotaged by hackers. Our website development consultant has been unable to resolve this problem to date. Due to lack of service from him and ongoing problems with the site, I would like to consider starting over with a new website. The cost for this service has dropped since we last went through this process.
2. Police Department Move
The PD is starting to move some of their contents to their new location in order to free up some space in the current facility. I would like to schedule a meeting with the Building and Grounds Committee to develop a scope of work for renovating the former Y building in a cost-effective manner.
3. CLIC
CLIC has made progress in the development of a website to provide lake related information to the public. They are also discussing another Symposium to be held Spring 2011.
4. Clarksville Hydroplane Challenge
Carol Brown is looking for additional volunteers to help with her committee. This is a fun event and a fun group of people to work with.
5. Recent Christmas Events
We have received very positive feedback on the Mayor, Manager, and Town Council dinner we hosted last week. Thanks to the MCCSC volunteers for use of the Enrichment Center, the Garden Club for the decorations, and Mayor Allgood for the entertainment. The Chamber event the following night was also well-attended. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this year's Christmas parade successful. Even though the weather was very cold, the public turned out in large numbers-to-enjoy the parade.
5. Christmas Lunch
The Town staff will have their second annual hotdog lunch at noon at the Town Hall on Wednesday, December 22. This lunch replaces the Christmas breakfast that we held at the Community Center for a number of years. Please let us know if you can join us.
