Highlights from Luttrell City Council’s January Meeting
LUTTRELL CITY HALL — Progress pushes forward at the City of Lutrell’s first meeting of the new year.
Water and Sewer
Relief is on the way for some Luttrell residents. In its January meeting, city council approved an amendment that would change the current sewer ordinance to stop the billing of those residents who do not have a sewer pump or tank installed on their property or do not have sewer service. However, if a resident has a pump or tank installed, but are not using the service, they will still be required to pay a monthly charge.

Highlights from Luttrell City Council’s December Meeting
LUTTRELL CITY HALL - Ups and downs peppered the December Luttrell City Council meeting.

Some bad news came in the form of a negative bridge evaluation from TDOT. City Council assured us that the bridge is currently safe to use.

LUTTRELL - When the City of Luttrell’s 2006 application for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) was denied, city council members wanted to know why. Had they not, after all, managed to use the funds to keep the city’s sewer system in good working order? Hadn’t they spent hours going over the application? The answer, as it turns out, is a unique one.
Luttrell fulfilled not only its grant obligations for 2005-2006 cycle, but also achieved the highest of the three star ratings on this year’s evaluation. It was also one of only a handful of applicants in the 2006 pool that did not have a commissioner’s order from a state agency demanding that they resolve specific violations and problems. The grant money Luttrell sought for 2006 was to help with maintenance and upgrades rather than correcting state violations.
