Stace Friday May 10, 2013
You might want to eat before you attend a Crossville City function in the future. Crossville City Councilman Pete Souza is continuing his crusade to cut what he calls abuses by the City by cutting the City's budget for catering and meals for City functions. According to a "position paper" by Councilman Souza, the Councilman plans to put forth a motion at Tuesday's City Council meeting which would require prior approval for all catering and meals over $50 be approved by the City Council.
Councilman Souza questions Chief Turner's use of vehicle-REVISED
Stace Friday May 10, 2013
Crossville City Councilman Pete Souza has attempted to turn his cost saving measures towards Crossville City Fire Chief Mike Turner. At a special called City Council meeting this week, Souza approached Crossville City Mayor JH Graham III and the rest of the City Council stating that he had received "6 calls" regarding inappropriate use of the vehicle that Chief Turner drives. Turner was questioned by the Mayor as to whether the vehicle was necessary for the performance of his day to day duties, to which he answered that it was. Turner further responded that he took great pride in his job not only as Fire Chief, but also as an EMT and first responder, and that he served with great pride at the pleasure of the Mayor and the Council, and would drive any vehicle provided. Mayor Graham agreed that the vehicle in question was indeed essential for Turner's job, as it was a 4 wheel drive vehicle, and came in particular use during the tornadoes of 2012. The Mayor suggested that Councilman Souza bring the matter up at the City Council Meeting next Tuesday, should he have further questions. The item has since been removed from Tuesday's meeting agenda
