Over the past several days, we've seen a resurgence in catalytic converter thefts.

Thieves do not need a lot of tools to remove a converter and can complete the theft in less than two minutes.

The target vehicles vary, but vehicles which sit higher off the ground are more appealing to the converter thief since they are easier to access.Lots where vehicles remain for a long period of time offer prime target opportunities for thieves.

The Tennessee House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill that gives family members the ability to get a court order to intercede when an adult relative is subject to abuse, neglect or exploitation.

"For too long individuals in Tennessee who had family members in jeopardy were not able to ask the court to intervene," said State Representative Joe Pitts (D-Clarksville). "Thanks to this new legislation, sons and daughters with elderly parents will be able to gain a court order of protection for their loved ones from the abusers."

As many of you may know there had been a local court challenge to the red light cameras the city installed last May. The city's legal staff defended the case in city court and won.

A month or two ago the Tennessee State Attorney General reviewed similar questions posed on red light cameras that our city staff researched for their trial.

The Attorney General provided the same conclusions that our city attorney and city court had come to and that was there were no legal issues to impede the use of the cameras.

From Councilman Bill Summers

There has been talk about what happened with the firm (RUST) that pulled all of it construction equipment off the marina/park site. Rust defaulted on their contract and could not complete it. As with all big projects the city requires all companies to be bonded.

The bonding company will make a decision within the next couple of days to either pay money to the remaining marina/park firms (such as TMS) to do the work or hire another firm to come in and finish the job.

Only 5% of the remaining dirt work was left to do. The weather has been a killer and that is why little is happening at this time due to the mud. TMS, the general contractor, is working all issues and plan to have construction back on track as soon as a bond decision is made.
