We don’t do this except for former city commissioners. |

We do not have a policy. We do have pictures of past Mayors and City Council Members in our City Manager’s admin. offices, but not on our Council Chamber or other meeting rooms. It may be something we should consider, but it has not occurred to us yet. |

Clarksville does not have a policy regulating memorials in the Council Chambers. |

Knoxville |
The City Council of Knoxville meets in a building/meeting room shared by City Government, County Government, The Metropolitan Planning Commission, the Court System, School Board, etc. It is run and operated by the Public Building Authority. There are currently no photos of individuals hung in the Council Chambers and there are no policies in place to hang photos in the future. The city does however have a gallery in the 5th Floor Atrium of the City-County Building that houses portraits of all former Mayors of the City of Knoxville.
