The Budget and Finance Committee approved a multi-item consent agenda and several non-consent measures in a meeting that included public comment and procedural debate.
What the committee approved by voice vote:
- Consent agenda: a package including a Tennessee Opportunity Pilot Initiative grant (Resolution 20 26 17 22), an insurance contract amendment (Resolution 20 26 17 23), a $42,500 compromise and settlement (Resolution 20 26 17 24), an EPA air-monitoring grant amendment (Resolution 20 26 17 29) and other departmental grants and contracts. Chair recorded "Motion carries." (items read and approved during the consent vote).
- Resolution 20 26 17 21: Amendment 1 to the economic impact plan for the Rivergate Mall development project. Approved by voice vote.
- Resolution 20 26 17 31: Acceptance of a violent crime intervention fund grant from the Tennessee Office of Criminal Justice Programs to MNPD. Approved by voice vote.
- Resolution 20 26 17 33: Approved as substituted (converting a donation from the Nashville Downtown Partnership for 15 video cameras into a grant agreement with reporting requirements).
- Resolutions 20 26 17 34, 17 35 and 17 36: Each approved as substituted; each converts a monetary donation from the Nashville Downtown Partnership to MNPD (armored rescue vehicle, mobile command post, tactical support post) into a grant agreement that includes reporting requirements.
- Resolution 20 26 17 37: Authorized a $450,000 settlement to Nathan and Felicia Mayo to be paid from the self-insured liability fund. Approved by voice vote.
Several items were discussed only briefly and approved on the consent agenda; a few items were the subject of questions about operational or public-health implications and were flagged for follow-up in other committees.
The committee also announced a pre-budget public hearing for early February and a public "budget 1-on-1" outreach series. The meeting adjourned after the agenda was completed.
