Ordinance BO20261198 approved to renew agreement allowing Operation Stand Down to continue using office space
Summary
An ordinance (BO20261198) approving an agreement to allow Operation Stand Down to continue using office space in a building they have occupied for about 10 years was approved unanimously, 7-0; meeting participants clarified the item updates an existing MOU rather than relocating the organization.
At a Government Operations & Regulations meeting of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, members approved ordinance BO20261198, described in the meeting as approving an agreement (read in the transcript as the "lisonbee agreement") between the Metropolitan Government and Operation Stand Down to use office space.
During discussion, a participant asked whether Operation Stand Down was moving. Speaker 2 responded, "We're not moving," and noted the organization "has been there for 10 years" and that the item updates the memorandum of understanding rather than effecting a relocation. Speaker 2 also said, "We have 2 offices that they give us rent free," clarifying the practical arrangement covered by the agreement. Speaker 3 acknowledged familiarity with Operation Stand Down.
The presiding official also thanked representatives for their service, saying, "thank you as a veteran for all you all do." The ordinance was moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote; the chair announced "7 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting." The meeting record does not include the full written agreement text, the precise office address, or whether the MOU includes any new financial terms.
Because the transcript read the agreement name as "lisonbee agreement," spelling/official title was not clear from the audio transcription; the meeting record provided by the transcript does not specify whether the phrase refers to a formal name or was a reading error. The ordinance vote as recorded approved continued use of office space under the updated agreement.
