Top issues during term (20)
Jones Chapel Road water line upgrade
Saves the city an unbudgeted $502,000, though refunding the old taps will cost something.
Main Street rezoning denied
Sidewalk connections along South Main
A repair assistance fund could cost the city; no estimate yet.
Commercial development charge reduction
Cuts a revenue source the city could use, but aims to bring in sales-tax-generating retailers.
Spring Creek Phase 1, Section 1 performance bond
The bond amount wasn't stated in the agenda, but it protects the city financially if the developer doesn't finish required improvements.
Fire Station 3 funding gap
The project is roughly $1.8 million over its $7 million budget; officials say they will not accept the $8.8 million price.
Electric, wastewater, and sanitation rate changes
Utility bills across electric, wastewater, and sanitation services will change; electric rises about 3% from TVA's fuel adjustment.
Main Street Church of Christ ROW abandonment
UGB rezoning requests referred to Robertson County
Residential design standards — legal authority question
Senior group home proposal denied over lot size
The applicant said he was willing to fund a new roof, plumbing, electrical and interior build-out, but none of that investment will happen on this site unless the project is reworked.
Equal brush pickup for all residents
Slightly higher brush collection workload for Public Works.
Jasper Fields Phase 1 infrastructure bond
The bond is worth $1,745,349.06 — money the city can draw on to finish roads, paving, street lights and signs if the developer doesn't.
Citywide paving project
Mostly grant-funded with a small local match.
Free public Wi-Fi at Garner Street Park
No local cost — covered by the state broadband grant.
Setback compliance and variance process for porch addition
The owner may face survey costs and variance application fees if an encroachment is confirmed.
Historic district enforcement gaps
Sign regulations rewrite
New state 60-day deadline for development approvals
Denied applications will cost the city a 50% review-fee refund, so expect more borderline projects landing on the commission's agenda instead.
Highway 76 East rezoning for inherited farm homes
No new construction is proposed, so there's no direct city cost — it's mostly a paperwork change to let two families settle an inheritance.
