John Cooper of Holland & Knight, representing Suncrest, said the funds would be contributed at the time of the developer’s first building permit rather than first occupancy, accelerating when the city would receive money. Cooper said the developer also agreed to construct left and right turn lanes from Kidron Road onto the new access road.

Cooper noted the property lies in Maury County but the city annexed Kidron Road in 2005, so the intersection at Kidron and Port Royal is controlled by Spring Hill. He said the project already has preliminary plat approval from Maury County and the subdivision can proceed without the Kidron connection; the proposed agreement would provide an optional funding contribution and an additional access point.

Mayor Fitter and board members asked for clarifications: the board requested staff review language to ensure the city has the ability to review signal optimizations and any connection design before construction. Cooper agreed to work with staff on language giving the city review input on signal timing and the connection location. Cooper and the developer said the funds are not contingent on city action to construct the intersection and the city would not be obligated to spend the money until a full project funding plan is in place.

No formal vote was taken; staff members said they would follow up with the developer and prepare any amendments or proposed agreement language for future board consideration.","Suncrest (Reagan Ridge) proposed a $2 million participation agreement to fund future intersection improvements at Kidron Road and Port Royal, and agreed to construct turn lanes; the board discussed terms and staff review but no vote was taken.",{"_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":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6528947,"Board directs city attorney to negotiate contract for Jay Carter Napier as city administrator after finalist interviews",1118,1786000,2904000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3842290-14b776ad50dae3ec986dfa26403102f8&start=1786&end=2904","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3842290-14b776ad50dae3ec986dfa26403102f8/thumbnail_1786000.jpg","/articles/6528947/Tennessee/Board-directs-city-attorney-to-negotiate-contract-for-Jay-Carter-Napier-as-city-administrator-after-finalist-interviews","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528947-306d3d32af24573efe8a9fd2b06370c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770548205&Signature=MsFoHn0fhlsCUPy-wBB7oalLq5LlddwKDMvmTdKVgmWTGekX0gHrqZJybVgxZR6BgqCFXKPhCMCfNjpxx3p6S80K8jgOManQFFC0ZHcX4XlBctIhmneCtQr111qPPAriOMKJjaztArRGNDWuJBgyywEiWNcUDZVGaQMYmHCw59PfkHiEpnhDLC6UiK57ikZT0vncjbziDR1cA-kqe2KbLwmL6x9rzCxwDUFwnbZl3dHOwmXjPQc~fMQNMJi9HCxlhGmYAVR8zvGHn-BlUP1~2c4Awi0dA~scXxTzKmdoiV5NGQq7wTFyqASvoKvAqL221o2n3GXz7RtzTdt6VXnhcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on June 16 approved a resolution directing the city attorney to enter contract negotiations for hiring a city administrator and, by amendment, inserted the name Jay Carter Napier as the preferred candidate.

Mayor Chris Fitter summarized the recruitment process, saying the board used a nationwide recruitment firm, Slavin Management Consultants, screened candidates and invited four finalists for in‑person interviews. Fitter said one finalist stood out. “It’s become clear to me that one candidate is best positioned to help this board and our senior staff deliver upon those three objectives, and that is Carter Napier of Casper, Wyoming,” Fitter said during discussion.

Vice Mayor Linville and multiple aldermen praised the hiring process and emphasized fit with Spring Hill’s upcoming capital and utility projects; Linville said Napier’s experience with CIP and water/wastewater solutions was a strong factor. Several aldermen also praised the interim city administrator’s performance and said they supported promoting the interim administrator into an assistant role to preserve institutional knowledge.

A motion to amend Resolution 25‑150 to insert the name Jay Carter Napier passed 7–2. The amended resolution directing the city attorney to begin contract negotiations then passed 8–1 on the final vote. The motion to approve the resolution was made by Mayor Fitter and seconded by Vice Mayor Linville.

Mayor Fitter described Napier’s experience in Casper as including oversight of an approximately $150 million infrastructure capital program, a 45‑mile water pipeline, municipal budgets like Spring Hill’s and work on downtown redevelopment and public‑private partnerships. Fitter said these elements made Napier a fit for the city’s near‑term needs.

The resolution directs the city attorney to begin negotiations for an employment contract; the board did not conduct a public vote on a final contract during the meeting. Staff noted additional steps remain to finalize terms, background checks and a negotiated employment agreement.","After a nationwide search assisted by Slavin Management Consultants and in‑person finalist interviews, the Board amended a resolution to insert the candidate name Jay Carter Napier and approved directing the city attorney to enter contract negotiations, 8–1.",{"_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":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6528950,"Spring Hill staff proposes temporary halt on new sewer capacity letters amid plant limits",1424,5895000,7319000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3842290-14b776ad50dae3ec986dfa26403102f8&start=5895&end=7319","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3842290-14b776ad50dae3ec986dfa26403102f8/thumbnail_5895000.jpg","/articles/6528950/Tennessee/Spring-Hill-staff-proposes-temporary-halt-on-new-sewer-capacity-letters-amid-plant-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528950-08f9b978a4d0ace32d57d8b27427f0ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1770548205&Signature=Wc~92lPXb17thiXEPxd7zO12IAfbHcSoF8vmCuNUrwoKQN5VRZn6aQVF-0BWGA1Aw9jdy1PSZo42JfUzFya9jtgono9yKTrm3TCkcTZsdpyy8HXLUz9RoXOmj8CdUhyMAITElq~mM6rDtvIHbOKMMLZtCkHwAptqCC2TdaxHRyLFH2VWVZPf3bHsnWqVSGneOR8ImlTHs12Z7J4mmjzsMRWiYfVpxUK7JymKXf83mbVeRETZBovMzrcF~oWXtQ8qkPKeoP6UhR7Kl56--nS1F7XD1VPIcKtKR5VAnLQVw~duDW1vFZsGV8sSjKvUgq6Fd2qEl~bLqIam59Tp1-3Rig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Spring Hill Assistant City Manager and Spring Hill Water General Manager Dan Allen told the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on June 16 that staff is proposing a draft ordinance to suspend issuance of new water and sewer capacity letters until additional treatment capacity is available.

Allen said the city’s monthly influent flow analysis suggests the water reclamation facility is operating near capacity and that nearly 1,600 residential units currently under construction could add roughly 300,000–385,000 gallons per day of flow over the next 12 months. “We no longer are able to operate as staff to do the things that we feel need that we need to do because we don't have the appropriate authority in place to do it,” Allen said.

The proposed ordinance would: temporarily stop new sewer connections for projects that are not vested; set an outside date for the restriction through Jan. 1, 2030 (or earlier if specified infrastructure is completed); exempt one hospital facility deemed critical under state law; require by-right developments to use state-approved decentralized or on-site alternative sewer treatment systems that do not add effluent to the city plant; and direct staff to develop specifications and a stakeholder process within a 90-day timeline.

City Attorney Carter (referred to in the meeting as Mister Carter) and staff described the components that must be completed before reopening connections: expansion of the existing water reclamation facility, construction of an advanced purification facility and construction of a reservoir facility. When asked whether those three projects would be completed by Jan. 1, 2030, Allen said the city has a realistic plan and timeline based on recent property acquisition and design work but noted funding and scheduling remain variables.

Developers and local builders at the meeting warned of the financial stakes. Danny Claus, division president for D.R. Horton and part owner of Harvest Point, said many projects rely on existing capacity and that a sudden cutoff could strand millions of dollars of investment. “It affects a lot of jobs and a lot of businesses,” Claus said, urging the board to protect properties with vested rights.

Staff said they plan to protect vested and active projects that are in compliance and actively pursuing construction, and to identify projects that may be nearing expiration to determine whether previously allocated sewer or water capacity might be returned to the pool. Allen acknowledged some wording in the draft is loose and needs tightening to avoid confusion over terms such as “approved,” “vested” and “active.”

On administration and implementation, staff proposed a communications protocol to funnel developer questions through the communications director to avoid overwhelming development services staff, which is short-handed. Allen said staff will propose standardized specifications (likely modeled on neighboring jurisdictions) so the city does not face dozens of different on-site systems to maintain.

The board asked several procedural and policy questions: whether city projects would be subject to the ban (staff said the ordinance, as written, would apply to the city unless an exemption is added), whether alternative systems would later be connectable to the public system (staff said state law requires designs that allow future connection), and how costs to connect later would be allocated (staff said that would be addressed in project-specific agreements and that multiple financial tools exist).

The board did not vote on the draft during the work session; staff said they will refine the language, develop specifications and return with recommended standards and a stakeholder engagement plan.","City staff presented a draft ordinance to temporarily stop issuing water and sewer capacity letters and require on-site alternative treatment for new by-right development while the city expands its water reclamation infrastructure.","actionData","errors"]
