Committee members on Jan. 19 raised concerns that the Nashville Community Review Board's listing on Hub Nashville was placed under an 'Other' category rather than 'Public Safety,' a placement that committee members said makes it harder for civilians to find the board when seeking to file complaints. Speaker 3 said correspondence indicates Deputy Chief Green instructed the placement and described the categorization as concerning and potentially deliberate.

Speaker 1 asked Speaker 3 to draft a corporate resolution for the full board requesting that Hub Nashville list the CRB under the Public Safety category. Speaker 7 suggested seeking assistance from a Metro Council member who chairs Public Safety to contact Hub administrators directly.

In public comment, Speaker 2 read a letter from Sheila Clemons Lee about efforts to commemorate her son Jaquies Clemons and Daniel Hambrick; she said the mayor's office has shifted to planting trees and that benches would require a separate parks process and funding. Committee members discussed cost estimates of about $1,600 per bench and considered whether CRB funds could be used. Speaker 4 moved that the executive director be authorized to research total costs and present findings to the board; Speaker 1 seconded and the motion was adopted (recorded as 'Adopted').

Next steps: Speaker 3 will draft a resolution for the full board to request reclassification on Hub Nashville; staff will research bench costs, funding options, and the parks approval process and return recommendations at the next board meeting.
