Summary

Members approved two consent resolutions: RS20261964 addressing minimum distance requirements for a beer permit at 519 Houston Street under Metropolitan Code section 7 08090, and RS20261967 approving an application to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development—s Broadband Ready Communities program (voice vote 5-0).

Chair opened a brief Government Operations & Regulations meeting and placed two items on the consent agenda: RS20261964, relating to minimum distance requirements for a beer permit for property at 519 Houston Street under Metropolitan Code section 7 08090, and RS20261967, a resolution approving an application to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development for the Broadband Ready Communities program.

The chair read the items and a member moved and another seconded to approve both consent items. The chair characterized the broadband measure as intended "to ensure Tennesseans have access to affordable and reliable Internet service," noting involvement by the Metropolitan Government's Information Technology Services. A brief, informal question was raised about what restaurants operate on Houston Street; the chair said they could look it up but the question did not alter the consent action.

The chair called for a voice vote; members responded "Aye." The chair recorded the result as five in favor, zero opposed and zero not voting, and closed the consent items. No amendments or separate roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.

The meeting proceeded after the unanimous approval; no further substantive discussion or formal actions on these items were recorded in the transcript.
