The Nashville City Council met last night and they heard from Tom McFeron representing the Washington County Sportsmans Club about the Fishing Derby on May 4^th at Memorial Park.  He asked the Council for a donation to purchase fish to put in the lake.  The City has donated $350 in past years and approved that amount again this year.  McFeron also asked that the Council purchase fish to restock the reservoir at the same time to save money on a bulk purchase.  Usually there is $500 budgeted for this and the purchase was approved.  Last meeting the Council approved the purchase of a new squad car for the Police Department, but it doesn’t have all the accessories needed.  Some items can come off the vehicle it is replacing, but there are some items that need to be purchase.  That includes a DVD recorder at nearly $4,900.  Chief Brian Fletcher said that many prosecutors need that video of the incident to go to court, so it is an important tool for enforcement.  The total cost is $8,960.91 and this would include labor.  It was approved by the Council.  It is time to renew the contract with Egyptian Outdoor Spraying for 12 applications throughout the city for mosquito spraying.  It was approved at the cost of $5,400 per year.  The Council then approved “All Trash Days” to be on May 3^rd, 7^th and 10^th.  The recycle truck will be available on May 3^rd.  There have been problems with internet and phone service for various city buildings and the City Property Committee made a recommendation to go with one provider for all city government entities.  Their choice is Clearwave, as several other public entities in Nashville already have underground cables and service through Clearwave.  This will be for City Hall, Public Works, the Water Plant and the Sewer Plant.  Councilman Dean Huge said there will also be a savings for the City, but that amount was not currently available, as well as having everyone on one system.  This was approved by the Council.  Councilman Keith Reckmann talked about the Health Insurance option for the City.  Currently, they have Blue Cross Blue Shield, but they could only get the premiums down to a 24 percent increase from the past year.  They had also talked to Coventry Insurance, which came back with a comparable plan.  He said going with Coventry would be a savings of $70,000 over the proposed BCBS plan.  The Council approved the change to Coventry.  Reckmann then reminded the Council that there would be an amendment needed for the Employee Handbook.  He explained what the changes would be for deductibles, which is $2,000 and the employee is responsible for the first $500 and the city will reimburse the employee the next $1,500 if the employee exceeds the $500 and the maximum reimbursement will not exceed $1,500.  Reckmann then explained the out of pocket expense, which is $2,000.  The employee would be responsible for the first $500, then the City would reimburse the employee for the next $1,000, but the employee would be responsible for the final $500.  He said this is the same as what they had with Blue Cross Blue Shield.  These amendments were approved.
