A contested rezoning of a Hill Road Circle parcel passed on a recorded roll call.

Budget and Finance Chair Porterfield moved approval of RS2025-11139, the revised fund-balance reserve policy, with an amendment carried in committee. The amendment passed on the floor and the council adopted the resolution. Councilmember Swara spoke in support: “I wanted to stand especially for the sake of the, watching audience, in support of the, resolution.” The amendment and the resolution were adopted; committee votes on the amendment were reported as 11-0 in favor in Budget and Finance.

On interlocal and grant matters, the council approved an amendment to the agreement with the Cumberland River Compact extending and amending the city’s grant contract (RS2025-1162) after committee consideration and an amendment. The Transportation Infrastructure Committee and Budget and Finance reported unanimous committee support; the council approved the resolution as amended on the floor.

Several zoning and urban-design measures cleared third reading after committee recommendation and floor amendment votes. The council passed amendments and final readings for ordinances updating the RiverNorth urban design overlay (BL2025-7-56 and BL2025-7-57) to revise standards related to structured parking and building materials. Additional companion rezoning and materials restrictions ordinances also passed on third reading, including BL2025-7-58/7-59 and BL2025-7-62/7-63; each passed as amended after committee reports.

A contested rezoning on Hill Road Circle (BL2025-7-68) was on third reading and required a roll call. The council clerk reported that Title 17 bills on third reading require 21 votes to pass. The clerk recorded the roll-call results: 24 votes in favor, 12 against and 3 abstentions; the presiding officer announced the ordinance had passed its third and final reading.

Other items: an intergovernmental agreement with the East Bank Development Authority (RS2025-1142) and a stormwater revision request (RS2025-1167) were deferred one meeting by rule. Two agenda items (a lease amendment and a police department contract amendment) were withdrawn from the agenda. Many consent-agenda items and several second- and third-reading bills passed on consolidated consent; members removed a small number of items for separate consideration.

The council adjourned and noted a special State of Metro address by the mayor scheduled for Thursday, May 1 at the downtown public library.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","04/15/25 Metropolitan Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The council adopted amended fund-balance reserve policies, approved an amended Cumberland River Compact grant extension, approved RiverNorth overlay updates and several zoning ordinances on third reading, and recorded a 24-12-3 roll-call for a contested rezoning on Hill Road Circle.","taxTitle","Council Announcements & Meetings, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee","taxId",69337,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6269798,"Council approves two beer-permit distance exemptions after uncontested public hearings",76,945645,1021845,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3040316-ec6ac2ab51aff2345e84b68a53ad4eca&start=945&end=1021","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3040316-ec6ac2ab51aff2345e84b68a53ad4eca/thumbnail_945645.jpg","/articles/6269798/Tennessee/Council-approves-two-beer-permit-distance-exemptions-after-uncontested-public-hearings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269798-ac7cae89411e7a66e6f1dbfb7fc9b883/orig.mp4?Expires=1776324924&Signature=OekDCpqrpgbUVaheKxQlxHkAAAXBkS5V5SoCmEeJS2v~vzim1-Eb8oA4T0tEC9aHSrlgWapdoD-IW~DF7Pl5wPAWOTfDUMRpCBVuxBzlrFVjmN8dTvEvOwCfHRo0vwxrgCAnQfOFBaZluY87t3XtCNhJkeKNogxjuu1f253oO3DYpZpE3nx8guFktKJi2vtRIvIZdzIjCwzQOwWsfjo1gdiab3hzWS9BwV2c8xLs3d3Ar3sySEmwWkzGz7KODyCV2i08Du~2Vc3BtBPQH48ryogQSVMoDjY7fM8uurN3EVPm3LTXncYlWYT-9Lvxe8OX1oL1cAmMHPViGNRAhBrW9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Council approved two resolutions exempting local businesses from minimum-distance requirements for beer permits after brief, uncontested public hearings.

Committee reports showed the Government Operations and Regulations Committee recommended approval on both items by unanimous committee votes.

When the council opened each public hearing, no members of the public rose to speak in opposition and those in support declined to address the chamber. After closing each hearing, the council approved both resolutions; each was recorded as passing its first and final reading on the floor.

The votes were voice votes following the committee recommendations and no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.

Council members voted to confirm Brian Pettis to the Emergency Communications District (E-911) and Amy Harden to the Fire, Building and Code Appeals Board. The confirmations were made by voice vote after the committee reports and without recorded roll-call tallies. The council president announced both confirmations after members voted “aye.”

The council also considered reappointments to the Work Release Board. The reappointments of Ron Parham and Father Edward Shiner were deferred one meeting following a committee recommendation. Council rules require certain nominations to be deferred; the clerk will record the deferrals and the individuals are expected to return for the next meeting’s confirmation process.

Separately, council members placed a series of nominations to various boards and authorities. Nominations announced on the floor included Germaine Cole to the Human Relations Commission; Joy Stiles to the Cheatham County Rail Authority; Erin Evans to the Nashville and Eastern Rail Authority; and Sarah Martin, Bob Braswell and Roger Ligon for openings on the Procurement Standards Board. The clerk will follow up with nominees to collect required information for future consideration.

The administration and council staff said no votes were taken on nominations during this portion of the agenda other than for deferrals and confirmations required by rule.","The Metropolitan Council confirmed Brian Pettis to the Emergency Communications District and Amy Harden to the Fire, Building and Code Appeals Board, deferred two work-release board reappointments, and accepted several nominations to boards and authorities.","actionData","errors"]
