The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County Community Review Board received its executive director's report during the board's October meeting and was asked to prepare for MOU discussions, budget planning and ongoing outreach.

Staff member standing in for the executive director told the board the executive committee met Oct. 15 but lacked a quorum, the next executive committee meeting is scheduled for Nov. 12 and the regular board meeting is set for Monday, Nov. 17, 2025. "We are waiting for information from the mayor's office related to board appointments," the staff member said.

The report said the compliance monitor position was reposted and the application deadline was extended to Nov. 10, 2025. "Regarding the NCRB vacancies, we reposted the compliance monitor position, and we are hopeful that we find an excellent team member and extend... the date of applications until 11/10/2025," the staff member said.

Staff also reported the board had received seven civilian complaints since the last board meeting in September and that the MOU with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, signed in November 2024, is approaching its one-year anniversary. "The MOU committee should decide on a date to meet in November to have discussions related to updates to the current document," staff said, noting attorney assistance will be needed to coordinate with MNPD legal representatives.

On outreach, staff reminded members the CRB fall festival will be Nov. 8 and encouraged board participation. The report also said the research team is working on the annual use-of-force report and other continuing analyses.

The board did not take final action on appointments during the meeting; members noted mayoral decisions on some renewals remain pending and asked staff to provide hard copies of the updated rules and bylaws that were amended at a community meeting in Sevier Park.

The board will next convene executive committee and budget committee sessions to move budget planning forward for fiscal year 2027.
