The Radcliff City Council met for a called meeting and work session Monday.
The council approved an agreement with the Lincoln Trail Area Development District for a six-month trial contract for LTADD’s Office of Public Relations service. Council Member Jerry Brown said he would like to see the city hire a full-time PR official, so the trial contract is a good test.
“There’s a perception of Radcliff that I want to address,” Brown said. “I think this will hopefully start that process. We need to brand ourselves. We need to start sharing the positive stories, the positive people, the positive events that take place in our community. We’ve never done that the way we could.”
The council approved a budget amendment related to a construction building adjacent to the new Baptist Health Hardin facility on Centennial Avenue. Radcliff Mayor JJ Duvall said the city’s portion should cost between $150,000 and $175,000.
“We had discussed the road off of Centennial, which is going to be right there adjacent to Baptist Health, which was bid back in October,” Duvall said. “The recording was done and the easement was given to the city for the road.”
During the work session, the council discussed remediation services for the cabins at Saunders Springs. The city previously approved termite remediation, but additional restoration work has been requested for damages to the Stovall cabin. Duvall said the city needs more time to discuss the commitment the city is willing to invest.
“There’s been some proposals,” Duvall said. “I know Ms. (Radcliff City Council Member Toshie) Murrell has asked if Tourism would be willing to participate as far as helping restore those cabins. Those are conversations we can have, but I think long term we probably need to determine what value they are to our community and then if we were to spend the kind of money that it would probably cost to get them restored to the level they need to be at.”
The Radcliff City Council will next meet January 20.
