Executive Director updates board on Hub Nashville reporting, safety platform and site security
Loading...
Summary
Executive Director Trey reported on Hub Nashville complaint tools (QR codes and posters), Metro Water onboarding of 85 pump/lift stations onto a safety reporting platform, upcoming OSHA trainings and a daylight security incident where about 10 vehicles were broken into at the juvenile justice center site.
Executive Director Trey told the Contract Compliance Board he would keep the board focused on three near‑term items: training, safety reporting, and completing memorandum‑of‑understanding work with Metro departments.
Trey outlined operational steps underway: Metro is testing a QR‑code workflow that links to Hub Nashville’s contract and compliance complaint intake page, business cards and posters will be distributed on project sites, and Metro Water Services has provided addresses for roughly 85 lift and pumping stations that will be added to the safety reporting platform.
Trey also said Metro plans to enroll staff and contractors in upcoming OSHA training and that a new safety inspector at Metro Water will start on Jan. 20 to assist with on‑site construction oversight.
Security incident and reporting process
Trey reported a security incident at the juvenile justice center project: "We had about 10 vehicles broken into today," he said, and added that general contractors on site will file police reports and overnight security is being added. He said cameras did not capture the incident despite daytime timing.
On anonymous reporting, Metro Legal cautioned the board that anonymity and confidentiality are different under Tennessee law: materials submitted to Metro may become public records and could be disclosable, so the board should be careful promising anonymity on public‑facing materials. Trey said he had changed the poster language from "anonymous" to "confidential and secure" to address that concern and offered to circulate screenshots of the Hub Nashville workflow to show where anonymous submission is available in the form.
What staff will do next
Trey said he will: circulate screenshots of the complaint intake flow; put the QR code and business cards on project sites; coordinate with the subcommittee to test the platform; and provide a monthly issue log summarizing complaints and the board’s jurisdictional responses. He told members there will be both a public page on nashville.gov and an internal SharePoint repository for board documents.

"I'll forward you guys an email, tomorrow after this meeting that'll show some of those screenshots..." — Trey, Executive Director
Why it matters: The Hub Nashville rollout and on‑site posters are the board’s primary tool for collecting safety reports from workers and contractors; legal limits on confidentiality and public‑record requirements will shape how the system is presented to the public and to workers on the ground.
