COMMITTEE. WE'RE READY FOR PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE. CHAIRPERSON RICHMOND YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THEN WE HAVE THE ITEM THAT WASPULLED ATTACHED. >> FOR PARKS AND REC.
THE PARKS AND REC COMMITTEE MET ON JUNE 14 LITTLE.
ITEMS DISCUSSED INCLUDED HERITAGE PARK SOCCER FIELD PROJECT AS WELL AS OPEN POSITIONS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT. COMING UP THIS MONTH SOME BIG HIGHLIGHTS I THINK THIS IS NOTABLE.
JULY 3RD -- THERE'S A BIG INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION AT LIBERTY PARK. AND THEN WE CONTINUE THE SUMMER LIGHTS SERIES AT VARIATION RECK CREATION CENTERS. I PLAN TO BE THERE OVER IN MY WARD. THERE'S A PRESCHOOL PROM AND NUMBER OF OTHER LIGHTS THAT YOU CAN LOOK UP AT CLARKSVILLE PARKS REC.COM. THE NEXT MEETING OF THE PARKS AND REC JULY 12TH. THIS COMPLETES MY REPORT.

AND SECOND. >> THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS I BELIEVE, COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
MAYOR I WAS CONTACTED BY A RESIDENT.
AND THEY HAD ASKED SOME QUESTIONS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED PUBLICLY.
BUT I WANTED TO READDRESS THEM FOR THE CITIZEN.
THE FIRST QUESTION WAS WHEN WILL THE ATHLETIC FIELD OR PARK BE BUILT. WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED TIME FRAME FOR COME MPLETION. WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO PAY. THAT'S PART OF THE CONCERN.
I WANTED TO -- >> GREAT QUESTION.
THE DESIGN OF THE ATHLETIC COMPLEX IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY AS THE CITY. IT REQUIRED A ROAD TO BE BUILT INTO THE PARK AS WELL AS UTILITIES RUN.
THAT DESIGN IS 95-PLUS PERCENT COMPLETE.
THAT'S WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE STREET DEPARTMENT AND THEIR BIDDING PROCESS. PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT WILL DO WHAT THEY DO BEST.
HANDLE THE ATHLETIC COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT.
IT WOULD BE ON DANGEROUS GROUND TO GIVE YOU A DATE CERTAIN OR EVEN A CLOSE GUESS AS TO WHEN WE GOT TO DO THE ROAD AND INFRASTRUCTURE FIRST AND WE'RE CLOSE I HOPE.
WE BETTER BE CLOSE, I HOPE, TO GETTING THAT DONE SO WE CAN THEN GET CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT OUT THERE AND MOVE DIRT AROUND FOR THE ATHLETIC COMPLEX.
>> OKAY. THE SECOND QUESTION ALLUDED TO. IS THE MONEY SET ASIDE?
[00:30:03]
I WAS INFORMED IT'S IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET.I WANTED TO VERIFY I TOLD RESIDENT CORRECT.
>> YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. THE MONEY WAS APPROPRIATED SITTING THERE WAITING FOR ESTIMATES AND BIDS TO BE TAKEN FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE ROAD AND PARK.
SO YES THERE'S NO FURTHER ACTION NEEDED ON THAT.
>> OKAY. >> THEN THE NEXT QUESTION WAS THE INCOME THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE FROM THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY WHAT OR DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR IT OR WHERE WILL THAT
MONEY GO? >> AS FOR THE REVENUE THAT COMES IN. I WILL GO INTO THE GENERAL FUND UNTIL IT IS APPROPRIATED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ITS USE. THERE'S NO EARMARKING OF THAT SALES PROCEEDS FOR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY YET UNTIL THEY EXECUTE
THE OPTION TO PURCHASE. >> THAT'S THREE YEARS; RIGHT,
MAYOR? >> THE OPTION IS THREE YEARS.
THEY MAY EXERCISE IT EARLIER. THEY HAVE THREE YEARS.
>> THAT'S OKAY. IT COULD BE UP TO THREE YEARS.
OKAY. >> AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION IS HOW WILL THE POWER GENERATED BY THE SOLAR PANELS
BE ALLOCATED? >> I THINK WE HEARD FROM CDE WHEN THEY SAID THERE WAS NO BATTERY STORAGE THAT WILL BE LOCATED ON THE SOLAR FARM. EVERYTHING PRODUCED THROUGH THAT SOLAR FARM WILL BE USED AND PUT INTO THIS POWER SYSTEM OF CDE. IT IS NOT EARMARKED OR IT WILL NOT GO STRAIGHT TO A PARTICULAR ENTITY.
IT'S LIKE PUTTING WATER THROUGH A HOSE.
YOU KNOW JUST ALONG DOWN THE LINE THEY WILL BE USING IT.
IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL POWER GENERATION FOR
USE BY CDE CUSTOMERS. >> ONLY CDE; CORRECT?
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ORDINANCE?

>> WHAT CAUSES CONFUSION IS THAT IT WAS ALREADY ON THERE BECAUSE IT WAS ON EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THAT'S HOW IT FOUND ITS WAY HERE.
IT WAS ALSO ON THE AGENDA FOR THE OTHER NIGHT.

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND AT THE END OF THE STATEMENT I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS INDEFINITE.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MY STATEMENT BEFORE I MAKE THE MOTION. THE CITY CHARTER STATE THAT QUALIFY TO SERVE ON THE CITY COUNCIL -- FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING. THIS IS ORDINANCE IN REGARDS TO REQUIRING A CITY COUNCIL PERSON TO LIVE IN THEIR DISTRICT. THE CITY CHARTER STATES THAT TO QUALIFY FOR SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL WE MUST RESIDE IN THE WARD WE SEEK. AND THE MAYOR MUST RESIDE IN THE CITY. THE CHARTER FURTHER STATES THAT COUNCILMEMBER SHALL CONTINUE TO RESIDE FOR THE DURATION OF THEIR OFFICE IN THE WARD THEY ARE ELECTED TO SERVE AND IF THEY CHANGE THEIR RESIDENCE FROM THE WARD FROM WHICH THEY ARE ELECTED THE OFFICE SHALL THERE UPON BECOME VACANT. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS ORDINANCE WAS TO ENFORCE THE CITY CHARTER AND ENCOURAGE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER TO ADHERE TO CHARTER IF THEY MOVE OUT OF THE WARD THEY REPRESENT. I ALSO WANTED TO PROVIDE THE MAYOR A TOOL TO ENFORCE THE CHARTER WHEN MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL DISPLAY UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR AND DON'T ADHERE TO THE INTENT OF THE CHARTER REGARDING RESIDENCY ISSUES.
THE CHARTER PROVIDES GUIDANCE AT CITY COUNCIL SHOULD CONDUCT CITIES AFFAIR AS THE CITY COUNCIL OR COMMITTEE MAY DEEM NECESSARY. EACH OF US CERTIFY THAT WILY IN OUR WARD TO QUALIFY AS THE CANDIDATE FOR OUR OFFICE AND A FALSE STATEMENT IS A CLASS D FELONY.
ANNUALLY WE CERTIFY THE TENNESSEE ETHICS COMMISSION STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE TO OF INTEREST THE REPORT INCLUDE COUNCIL PERSON'S ADDRESS. JUST TO PROVIDE A SHORT HISTORY OF OUR LACK OF ENFORCE TO CHARTER, THE CITY LAWYER RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTIFICATION INDICATING WARD 1 NO LONGER RESIDED IN THE CITY LIMITS IN OCTOBER OF 2020.
THIS WAS PUBLISHED IN PAPER. ON 12-29-2020.
WARD ONE CITY COUNCIL CERTIFIED OF DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST THEY LIVED AT AN ADDRESS THAT'S NOT INSIDE THE CITY LIMIT. ON JANUARY 5, 2021.
