Committees approve BL 2025-835 adopting capital improvements budget for Metropolitan Government

The Budget & Finance Committee and the Planning & Zoning Committee approved BL 2025-835, an ordinance adopting the capital improvements budget for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, following roll calls that showed quorums for both committees and no substantive debate.

Committee staff announced that the Budget & Finance Committee had 11 members present and two absent and that the committee would take up BL 2025-835. After a voice vote, the Budget & Finance Committee recorded 11 votes in favor, 0 opposed and 0 not voting. Later the Planning & Zoning Committee chair noted nine members present; that committee voted 9–0–0 on the same ordinance.

The ordinance was presented as adopting the capital improvements budget for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for the fiscal years discussed in the ordinance. Committee members did not request discussion on the ordinance during either committee vote; one speaker said, “Seeing none, I’m gonna take the vote,” before the Budget & Finance voice vote. There were no recorded public commenters for the planning item.

The meetings proceeded directly from the roll calls to the motions and votes; no motions’ movers or seconders were identified on the record beyond the chair saying the item was “moved and properly seconded.” Both committee outcomes were recorded as approvals. The session concluded with the Planning & Zoning committee adjourning after the vote.

Next steps for the ordinance (such as full council consideration or implementation schedules) were not stated in the committee record provided.
