MEMORANDUM OF AN EXECUTIVE SESSION
 OF THE CLARKSVILLE TOWN COUNCIL
 HELD ON MAY 5, 2008

A meeting of the Clarksville Town Council was called to order on May 5, 2008, at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Clarksville Municipal Center Administration Building by Council President Paul Kraft, who chaired the meeting.

Council members present: Paul Kraft, Gregory Isgrigg, Vicki Appleby, Raymond Richert, Donald Tetley, Bob Popp and David Fisher.  Council members absent:  None.   Also present at the meeting: Fire Chief Robert Hansford, Police Chief Dwight Ingle, Street Commissioner Donald Hansford, Town Engineer Tom Clevidence, Mike Otto representing the Town’s wastewater treatment facility management firm, Redevelopment Director Rick Dickman, Planning Consultant Sharon Wilson, Parks Superintendent Brian Kaluzny, Building Inspector Bob Polston, Town Attorney Chris Sturgeon, Clerk-Treasurer Gary Hall and Natalie Isgrigg.

Request for Sewer Service for Property in Unincorporated Area of the County…  Karen Marshall, CEO of the BridgePointe Goodwill Stores, and Jorge Lanz, a member of the Board of Directors of BridgePointe, presented information on the organization’s current construction project and requested that the Town approve a plan to provide sewer service to the property.  Discussion was held on the request, including sizing the sewer line for some existing residences along Applegate Lane currently still on septic systems and for anticipated future development in the area, some of which property, including the BridgePointe property, is currently located in the unincorporated area of the county.  During discussion regarding the sewer line and construction needs, Council Member Popp suggested that Mr. Lanz contact surrounding property owners to see if he can get easements donated, and suggested that the sewer construction project might go better if BridgePointe made the voluntary commitment and request to become a part of the Town of Clarksville.  Redevelopment Director Richard Dickman stated that the reason these properties were not annexed years ago was because there was no sewer line in the area, that currently there is not another governmental unit eligible to annex these properties, and that annexation by the Town at this time would clean up the boundary lines.  Further discussion was held on administrative procedures and the consensus among council members and BridgePointe representatives was that Ms. Marshall and Mr. Lanz would take the matter back to BridgePointe’s Board of Directors for a decision on approving a request for voluntary annexation.  A motion was made by Councilman Fisher to table action pending a report on the decision of BridgePointe’s Board of Directors regarding the request for annexation.  The motion to table was seconded by Councilman Isgrigg and carried by unanimous vote.

Release of Letter of Credit…   Sharon Wilson presented information on the scope and progress of the new medical center project and requested a release of the current letter of credit provided by the company.   Town Engineer Tom Clevidence stated he agreed that the release could be approved at this time.  A motion was made by Councilman Isgrigg and seconded by Councilman Richert to release the current letter of credit on the medical center project.  There was no further discussion and the motion was carried by unanimous vote.

Approval of Claims…  A motion was made by Council Member Fisher to approve the accounts payable registers presented.  The motion was seconded by Council Member Isgrigg and carried by unanimous vote.

Adjournment…   There being no further business to come before the Council at this time, on a motion made by Council Member Fisher, seconded by Council Member Isgrigg and carried by unanimous vote, the May 5, 2008 meeting of the Clarksville Town Council was duly adjourned.
