Board approves leases and multiple grants, accepts historical marker; consent agenda and event amendment carry

At its June 2 meeting, the Metro Board of Parks and Recreation approved a set of leases, grants and other routine items included on the agenda.

Key approvals included:
- Approval of a lease requested by Centennial Park Conservancy for Metro Parks property at 2565 Park Plaza (approximate descriptions were read from the agenda). Staff recommended approval and the board approved the lease by voice vote.
- Approval of a historical marker in Edwin Warner Park proposed by the Metro Historical Commission; funding for the marker was provided by Friends of Warner Parks and Metro Parks will have no financial obligation.
- Acceptance of a cash grant of $60,000 from Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville to support construction of the next phase of Trinity Hills Park in Council District 2; funds will be transferred to Metro Parks for project management.
- Acceptance of an $82,135 grant from the Centennial Park Conservancy to update the Centennial Park revitalization plan; funds will be paid by the conservancy and managed by Metro Parks.
- Approval of a cash grant of up to $20,000 from the Nashville Parks Foundation for Elmington Park playground improvements; Metro Parks will manage the project and maintain it after completion.
- Acceptance of an in‑kind grant from Friends of Warner Parks described in the agenda as "not to exceed $1,285" to fund Warner Parks improvements; staff said the grant requires no match and that projects will be paid for directly by Friends of Warner Parks. (The agenda line appears to list the amount as '$1,285'; the transcript may truncate larger units — the amount is recorded as it appears in the agenda.)

Staff recommended approval for each item; motions were made and seconded and all carried by voice votes. The board took the consent agenda as a single action after withdrawing an amplification request for a Niko Moon album release party scheduled for Centennial Park on July 14.

Votes in the transcript were recorded as voice votes with the repeated phrase "All in favor? Any opposed? The motion carries." No roll‑call tallies were provided in the meeting transcript.
