Lori Mata, who delivered the update, said the hotel-motel tax ordinance was passed May 2, 2024 and took effect Jan. 1, 2025. The city created an authority in February 2024 — described in the presentation as the tourism development authority or ACT (arts, culture and tourism) authority — to administer funds for arts, heritage and a planned performing arts center. “This entity is somewhat independent,” Mata said, adding that board members are appointed by council and that assets revert to the city if the authority ceases operations.

Mata reported the city’s first collections: $99,000 for January, $99,000 for February and about $21,000 through mid-April, reflecting room-rental tax receipts remitted to the city. City staff told the council there are 47 hotels within city limits; 35 had reported consistently and 12 had not responded to reporting requests. Mata said annual audits of every hotel are required by statute and that staff will begin those audits within about a month, noting she is working with the city attorney on enforcement for nonresponsive hotels.

The city’s tax-collection and reporting responsibilities, Mata said, include monthly remittance deadlines (by the 20th of the month for taxable rentals), annual audits, and written fiscal-year reporting to state and legislative offices. Mata said a portion of the tax revenue is legally committed to the tourism development authority and must be used for tourism-related purposes; that funding cannot be diverted to non-tourism expenses.

Council members asked no policy questions on the floor during the presentation; Streetman closed the report and the council moved on to committee items.","City staff reported roughly $219,000 collected through mid-April under the new hotel-motel tax, detailed required audits and reporting, and summarized the newly formed tourism development authority’s purpose and activity.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252621,"Clarksville council makes sidewalks mandatory for new development citywide (with industrial exceptions)",58,2222000,2280000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3187210-26935ad791a39a7b5d5bca416256652d&start=2222&end=2280","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3187210-26935ad791a39a7b5d5bca416256652d/thumbnail_2222000.jpg","/articles/6252621/Clarksville/Montgomery-County/Tennessee/Clarksville-council-makes-sidewalks-mandatory-for-new-development-citywide-with-industrial-exceptions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252621-c1a75d37e88392fcc2b844ffac0f0e08/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156598&Signature=aqxeDmbW3te7BeadMnrN0XqagQMr1E7hsPbi5KtRT2dWUkft7IUuL5xVOQCQwO7M4rttq-z39nY8zezCjml7w3XweEo732J9vxcupzXy98RgjWdrHHt97Z5Ku9a3zXIFwXE4oenQynB1yZzShlEVuK3-rQhyhBilk69b74fZqS9B2ZxKbrQBggk0aB~BT8WaxGDmmtcC-0z8VbNCk2q7VQHTMuLOrPYc8djpkZUicF-4sQbIa2wMVBXYlFfks49ureHBpjyhAV4w7azVl~GDnQJC-32ZNYCeXvS5816YiW3SmFpv7Nj4bFVcmsYPfvmxpbM5XYMV6m2mGx8xB1SK~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clarksville City Council on May 1 approved Ordinance 66-20-24-25 to require sidewalks for new development along newly constructed public roads and dedicated permanent roadway easements, with exceptions for properties zoned M-2 and M-3 industrial.

Chairman Streetman introduced the measure on behalf of the finance committee, which voted in favor. The ordinance amends the city code, Title 12 (Streets and other public ways and places), to make sidewalks mandatory for qualifying new development in all zoning districts except M-2 and M-3.

Council members did not engage in extended debate on the floor. The clerk recorded the vote as 12 yes, 1 no, 0 abstain and the ordinance passed on first reading.

Supporters framed the change as a development standard to ensure pedestrian infrastructure is installed with new roads. Implementation will follow existing permitting and development review procedures within the city’s street and planning departments.","Council passed Ordinance 66 making sidewalks mandatory for new development along newly constructed public roads and permanent roadway easements in nearly all zoning districts, excluding M-2 and M-3 industrial districts.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252626,"Clarksville council rejects two rezoning requests, approves one and greenlights annexation plan",705,883000,1588000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3187210-26935ad791a39a7b5d5bca416256652d&start=883&end=1588","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3187210-26935ad791a39a7b5d5bca416256652d/thumbnail_883000.jpg","/articles/6252626/Clarksville/Montgomery-County/Tennessee/Clarksville-council-rejects-two-rezoning-requests-approves-one-and-greenlights-annexation-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252626-ec2e3303f6f6716ea72188de8110ad7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156598&Signature=iGovm~WebwcJsOLtLWnuZ1esbzidEDNywjanR3wnmrwXZ8I0Ti-k~etB6-wesq4vs0IvBiyOmzC2pcwAejzfEJ5TbuzAun8l4gu0uVvPzLRaKt4yyzDWnidj8jHWvVi6eiXAPrfbnRh-c7N6Vg64pxXrmaYmm~NhIAHBoss4nyHPldrVhZU8vGVMvqX6AoUO24aeA4CfgI0sH3~Tks9VZKM8EQbd9vKnzuaA0HXajEcMTOzjgJerAj2qyV4gLzI~211LCqoN0SNG3SfHFudvG02Q9FMvJokaGa-V2GI3~KsKkeW0jlTPyWsMxqYUo3EZSE9oU~WGWTEZ7fTptDhuSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clarksville City Council on May 1 rejected two proposed rezoning requests, approved a separate commercial rezoning on Tiny Town Road and adopted a plan-of-services progress report for annexed territory off LaFayette Road.

In public hearings that preceded votes, James Page, the owner and applicant for property on Dover Road, told the council, “I inherited a couple of properties on Dover Road. They've been disastrous to say the least. Horrible renters. Once we got them evicted a few months back, one of them actually caught fire.” Page said he wants to rezone the lots to commercial because he does not want to continue using them as residential rentals.

Stanley Ross, representing the applicant for a Tiny Town Road rezoning, described the proposal as part of a larger commercial frontage and said a traffic study calls for signalization at a nearby intersection. “The applicant is aware that he will be responsible for, for part of that traffic light,” Ross said, and added that drainage approvals from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation are already in place.

Council debate split on multiple items. Councilman Chandler (Councilman Chandler) said of one rezoning attempt, “I just don't think this fits the surrounding areas and the other houses around it.” Councilman Haywood expressed support for the Tiny Town Road rezoning, saying residents in his district “would like to see less R-2, R-4, and more of the C-5 in that area.” Councilwoman Deanna McLaughlin explained her “no” vote on the annexation resolution: “I was not in favor of this annexation. We have enough responsibilities inside our city limits without annexing more county property.”

The council voted 0–13 to deny Ordinance 58-20-24-25, the application from Infinity Investment LLC to rezone a parcel at Hillsborough Road and Banks Drive from R-1 to R-2. Ordinance 79-20-24-25, the James Page request to rezone property on Dover Road from R-1 to C-5, failed on a 6–7 vote. Ordinance 80-20-24-25, the William Beaulieu application to convert multiple residential and neighborhood commercial designations south of Tiny Town Road to C-5 highway and arterial commercial, passed its first reading 12–0. Ordinance 81-20-24-25, an amendment addressing penalties and violations in the city zoning ordinance, passed first reading as announced by the clerk.

On the annexation item, Resolution 54-20-24-25 — a plan-of-services progress report for territory off LaFayette Road, Highway 374 and Garrettsburg Road — the council voted 9–4 to adopt the resolution.

Both the regional planning commission and city staff recommended disapproval of Ordinance 58 and recommended approval of Ordinances 79 and 80, as noted in the public record. Applicants and their representatives addressed traffic and drainage concerns during the public hearings; for the Tiny Town Road proposal Ross said interior roadways and developer-street department coordination remain to be finalized.

The votes concluded the planning commission portion of the agenda and set several items for later hearings or second readings where required.","At its May 1 meeting the Clarksville City Council denied two proposed zone changes, approved a commercial rezoning and adopted an annexation plan for territory off LaFayette Road after public hearings and council debate.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252606,"Council approves up to $47.215 million in electric system revenue bonds",30,2462000,2492000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3187210-26935ad791a39a7b5d5bca416256652d&start=2462&end=2492","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3187210-26935ad791a39a7b5d5bca416256652d/thumbnail_2462000.jpg","/articles/6252606/Clarksville/Montgomery-County/Tennessee/Council-approves-up-to-47215-million-in-electric-system-revenue-bonds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252606-840c9d990e57f74b68a6e4fd1d534864/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156598&Signature=gYXce6uUbHZsZ1dQFmOjEQuNBKOGNHkL3QJoCUBY2EESzhaT9lzEY~v~CAPfMsyDFs0-ILS9CyB3Qjj3V4nlXseX7kD2ne5iVMxheUvJmZAJHdddpruMZpfUU8SHB6jjruBUh9HhBBzkqOOTqGViXSbmgiZu8wiIvX01IJOzc97GO9We9DyAldjxswJRjpuA4Bln2O9HFuSawELztCxy5hNdokzeeE8YlFQZ-hZJjILxULaH0EhU15uTmGLbKnqVDKEGUezWv5r8edBAaf0TqDJ96MzodxY0Ma9a-niumiomPLEPbGLgjqAg80ZF9jp4HrEXvDxJmIV1TLj9Sikvjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clarksville City Council on May 1 adopted Resolution 57-20-24-25 authorizing the issuance and sale of electric system revenue bonds of the City of Clarksville in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $47,215,000.
