The work on the city's soccer fields is nearing completion and grass has been planted, according to city manager Ted Meadows.

During his report portion of the meeting agenda, Meadows told the council that the soccer complex work was on track. According to Meadows, the recently planted grass was in need of a lot of water and that had been creating some problems with water supply for the Catoosa water department but those problems were quickly straightened out.

Meadows said he hoped that CRYSA would be able to play soccer on the fields sometime later this year.

Meeting as the beer board the Crossville City Council approved an on-premise beer permit for the Bear Trace golf course at Cumberland Mountain State Park. During discussion, the question of beer being allowed in the state park was raised by Dr. Carl Duer. Crossville Mayor J.H. Graham III said that the golf course is not considered as being in the state park and the beer permit was approved.

During the beer board meeting, Graham said that a mandatory meeting of all Crossville's beer permit holders was scheduled for Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. The meeting will update permit holders on changes and the new law. Notices about the meeting have been sent out to the beer permitees. Currently Crossville has 71 beer licenses in the city limits.

The council approved the third and final reading of an ordinance annexing 3.09 acres on Peavine Road into the city limits. The property is known as the McCarty-Dale property and is just north of the current city limits. A public hearing was held on the annexation but no public comments were made.

Several grant applications were approved as part of the consent agenda including an application to the Tennessee Division of Aeronautics for an airport layout plan update. The grant would cover 80 percent of up to $50,000. Also approved was an application to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture for a $5,000 tree planting and an application to the Tennessee Municipal league for a safety grant to help pay for visibility suits for the police department.
