The City Clerk was asked to contact other property owners on Peavine Road to inquire if they would be interested in having their property annexed and the potential need for a sewer line extension.

ITEM #2 – MATTERS RELATIVE TO LANTANA ROAD

a) With the construction of the “New Lantana Road” several issues must be addressed in regard to road names. These roads include the West Adams Street, Lantana Road, Ford Street, Livesay Street, and a portion of Dorton Road. TDOT opened traffic up on the “new” Lantana Road on August 10, 2011 which added a degree of haste to these road name issues. City Staff (Tim Begley and Kevin Dean) met with 911 Addressing and EMA to discuss the needed changes and establish a plan. The proposed name changes are recommended.

A motion was made by Councilman Boyd Wyatt, seconded by Councilman Earl Dean, that the ordinance adopting street names be passed on first reading. Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 5). Yes: Councilman Boyd Wyatt, Sr., Councilman Earl Dean, Councilman George Marlow, Mayor J. H. Graham, III, Mayor Pro-Tem Danny R. Wyatt.

b) Some issues have surfaced regarding the use of utility easements obtained by the City by Volunteer Energy without prior approval of the City. The matter is being reviewed by a staff attorney at MTAS because the City Attorney recused himself from the issue due to conflicts. (City Attorney Kenneth Chadwell’s letter attached and made a part of these minutes.) An opinion was not available for the meeting and the matter deferred.

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:12 p.m.
