Summary
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Arts, Parks, Libraries & Entertainment Committee approved a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for Mill Ridge Park, an AmeriCorps MOU, and two greenway conservation easements; one greenway easement was deferred for correction.
The Arts, Parks, Libraries & Entertainment Committee took a series of votes on Feb. 18 on grants, memoranda of understanding and greenway easements affecting Metro Parks and Metro Nashville Arts Commission programs.
Key votes at the Feb. 18 meeting:
- RS2025-1046 (Land and Water Conservation Fund grant and private-match acceptance): Approved. The resolution approves an application for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant from the Department of Environment Conservation to support development of the farm area at Mill Ridge Park and accepts matching gifts from the Jesse Davis Foundation and the Friends of Mill Ridge Park. The committee moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
- RS2025-1041 (AmeriCorps MOU): Approved. The committee approved a memorandum of understanding between Metro government, through the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, Hands On Nashville and United Way of Greater Nashville to host an AmeriCorps program participant to support community engagement programs. Interim Arts staff said this is an annual renewal; the previous AmeriCorps member completed service four months earlier and the new placement is pending committee approval.
- BL2025-706 (Greenway conservation easement, Rogers Group Inc., Glenwood Drive parcel): Deferred one meeting. Metro Parks staff explained that two easements on the same parcel were intended to be included but only one was in the packet; the department asked to defer one meeting so the missing easement could be added.
- BL2025-707 (Greenway conservation easement, Germantown JV LLC, 1420 Adams Street): Approved. The committee approved a Cumberland Greenway easement associated with the Madera Germantown multifamily development.
- BL2025-708 (Greenway conservation easement, Green Trails LLC, 4267 Ashland City Highway): Approved. The committee approved a greenway easement and participation agreement for improvements at the listed parcel.
All approvals were taken by voice vote with committee members indicating aye for passage. The BL2025-706 deferral was taken so Parks could correct the filing and include the second easement document.
