The Sports Authority voted to approve a third amended and restated agreement with the Nashville Downtown Partnership that extends the partnership for 12 months, adds Parking Lot E to the list of permitted lots for shuttle and special-event operations, and retains a 30‑day termination option.
Monica Foggeson, executive director of the Sports Authority, told the board the current contract had been extended for one year last year and that the proposed restated agreement adds Lot E while continuing authorized use of Lots F and R for shuttle and special-event parking. “The proposed resolution in front of you adds Lot E and extends the agreement for another 12 months with a 30 day termination option,” Foggeson said.
Jack Malone, director of transportation for the Nashville Downtown Partnership, described the partnership’s operations over the past year, saying the program averaged about 1,000 monthly subscribers, operated three daytime public shuttle routes from Lots E, F and R, and provided special-event and evening “beep” services. Malone said the service recorded roughly 486,000 passenger trips in the last year and that special-event shuttles removed an estimated 4,800 cars from downtown streets during those events.
After questions from board members about client lists and hours of service, Chair Bender called for a motion. The motion to approve the restated agreement was moved and seconded; members responded “aye” and the motion passed. The approved agreement authorizes the partnership to continue shuttle operations from Lot R and Lot F and adds Lot E to the permitted uses outlined in the contract.
The board did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript and no individual mover or seconder was named on the record. The resolution will be reflected in the authority’s official minutes and contract files.
