Sandwiched between a laundry list of sewer legislation are a few key bills, resolutions, and appointments to watch.
First up are the appointments: Kevin Crumbo, Nashville’s numbers guy, is up for Director of Finance, and Wally Dietz is returning for the position of Director of Law. A few other temporary appointments will be sprinkled in between the elections of the President Pro Tempore, commission, and board appointments.
SRO FUNDING REVISITED
The resolution to cover the cost of existing MNPS SROs is back on the docket. Last meeting, a few hesitant council members deferred the legislation, even though accepting the state’s money would take the financial burden off Metro’s books.
“Saying no to this does not get rid of the SROs. Saying yes to it does not add SROs,” Councilmember Johnston had said while speaking out against deferment. The resolution is on the Public Health & Safety Committee’s agenda during their meeting this afternoon. The Q&A should shed more light on the legislation before it goes before the council this evening.
MNPD GETS A RAP ON THE KNUCKLES OVER LPRS
Ever since the end of the summer pilot program, the council has noticeably kept MNPD in limbo when it comes to making LPRs permanent in Nashville. While they’re waiting, three bill sponsors would like the police department to kindly pack it up: council members Emily Benedict, Ginny Welsch, and Delishia Porterfield have filed a bill requiring MNPD to take down all LPRs and signage used during the program. The bill will be introduced on first reading.
