On Thursday, Commissioner Everett revealed an audio recording of a conversation showing Cagle, former Soddy-Daisy Police Chief Jeff Gann, and then Captain Marty Bowman talking about pushing the price of a mobile home park down for “the best interest of the city.”

Former property owner Janice Gann says she was left no choice by the city.
“If I don’t die, I don’t know how I’m going to make it – there’s no retirement now,” she said.
Gann tells NewsChannel 9 that she was backed in a corner and put in a position where she had to sell the property for a price well below the value. She puts the blame on Cagle.
Everett says he’s been hearing about this for weeks.
“[Janice Gann] came to me distraught because its a place her and her husband built for retirement,” Everett said.
At the Thursday City Commission meeting, Everett played the audio recording from a staff meeting in May 2019.
He suggests the city agreed to enforce code violations on the property to bring down value.
“There might be some criminal things coming out of this,” Everett said.

Cagle says around 10 staff members were present in that meeting.
Meanwhile, Gann believes there was more to it.
“There was personal motivation,” Gann said. “She had no right to do that to me.”
Everett also mentioned a time in 2019 when he says nine police officers showed up to the mobile home park to enforce code violations.
Everett confirms there will be exterior investigations done on this case.
So far, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation tells us they have not received an investigation request from the city at this time.
At the time of the 2019 recording, Jeff Gann was the city's police chief. He resigned in February of this year following an internal affairs report over an accusation that he met with a fellow officer's wife at a hotel while he was on the clock. Marty Bowman then became interim police chief.

There are various tales about how Soddy and Daisy were named. One maintains Soddy is an anglicization of the Indian “Tsati” meaning sipping place. With Soddy Lake, the many creeks and streams, this could be true. A second states that Welch inhabitants corrupted the name of William Sodder’s Trading Post to “Soddy.” The Community of Daisy was named after Daisy Parks, daughter of Thomas Parks, who was the vice-president of the Tabler-Clendys Coal Company. Both Daisy and Soddy were thriving coal mining communities until the 1930’s. A hosiery mill, turpentine plant, several pottery and tile kilns were active in Soddy and Daisy during the same period. In April 1969, the communities of Soddy and Daisy, extending for about 9 miles along U.S. 27, were incorporated.
