Councilman Wyatt requested information on what occurred on the contract with LD&A on the 127S utility relocations.

Airport – The State conducted the annual inspection of the facility and reported non-compliance on obstructions in the air space. The obstructing trees according to state guidelines have been cleared, but according to federal guidelines, there are 6 obstructions near the Playhouse still non-compliant.

Mayor Pro-Tem Wyatt presented a request from County Mayor Brock Hill, represented by Pepe Perron, for the City to provide water and sewer service to the visitor center proposed to be located at the I-40/Genesis Road exchange. The cost to provide the infrastructure was originally estimated at $53,260, but with city crews performing the work it is estimated at $35,000. The 80% enhancement grant for the construction of the 4,000 sf building was approved by TDOT on September 15, 2004 in the amount of $596,000.

Mr. Perron provided an update on the project. He reported that the community received $92.5M in tourism revenues. The center will be aimed at tourists of Big South Fork as well as attractions throughout Cumberland County. A kiosk will be located in the center for other counties to display their tourism sites. Staffing is expected to be a combination of paid staff and volunteers. A decision by the City is important so that the bores can be done before the roads are constructed. The Finance Director and Public Works Director will determine if funds are available in the current budget to do the work.

The County is providing their time on obtaining and administering the grants and providing funds for recurring costs. Mayor Graham questioned why the owner of the Hwy. 127N industrial park was not contacted about available property since that would be at the exit leading to the Big South Fork National Park. In addition, that property already has roads, water, and sewer available. The Genesis Road exit does not lead to the park.
