Committee approves NEH media grant and two greenway easements on consent agenda

The Arts, Parks, Libraries & Entertainment Committee approved three consent items including RS2026-2116, a resolution authorizing the Metropolitan Government, through the Nashville Public Library and MCAT, to apply for a National Endowment for the Humanities media projects grant to produce a documentary series titled Branches. Chair opened the items and read the grant and two greenway conservation easement ordinances for properties at 7800 McCrory Lane and 0 Godwin Court.

Chair (Speaker 1) read the resolution into the record: "a resolution approving an application for a media projects grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the National Public Library in conjunction with Nashville Education, Community, and Arts Television, MCAT, to produce Branches, a documentary series examining the National Public Library's 21 branch locations as civic and cultural institutions." The committee then voted to approve the consent agenda, 9-0. The easements were presented as agreements between the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (through the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation) and private property holders to allow greenway improvements at the listed addresses.

No separate discussion of these items was recorded in committee; the chair concluded the consent items and the meeting moved to other business.
