Actually going 1070 01:00:50,148 --> 01:00:53,748 to go around to chestnut. The 1071 01:00:53,818 --> 01:00:55,686 plan is to turn that four lane 1072 01:00:55,686 --> 01:00:59,590 road into a two lane road with 1073 01:00:59,590 --> 01:01:02,327 bike bike protected bike lanes 1074 01:01:02,327 --> 01:01:04,862 on either side. Tonight I asked 1075 01:01:04,862 --> 01:01:08,462 an offer or encourage each of 1076 01:01:08,566 --> 01:01:12,103 you to go out to edgehill 1077 01:01:12,103 --> 01:01:14,370 avenue between 430 and 530 and 1078 01:01:14,370 --> 01:01:16,407 try to come up from 21st and 1079 01:01:16,407 --> 01:01:17,875 just go to eighth avenue as it 1080 01:01:17,875 --> 01:01:19,444 is right now, where we got four 1081 01:01:19,444 --> 01:01:21,513 lanes of traffic going in two 1082 01:01:21,513 --> 01:01:24,449 in each direction. And think 1083 01:01:24,449 --> 01:01:26,551 about changing that to one lane, 1084 01:01:26,551 --> 01:01:27,919 going in each direction you've 1085 01:01:27,919 --> 01:01:29,754 change. Made a ten minute trip 1086 01:01:29,754 --> 01:01:31,855 from eighth avenue to 1087 01:01:31,855 --> 01:01:33,625 vanderbilt, a 20 minute trip. 1088 01:01:33,625 --> 01:01:35,927 Just because you narrowed the 1089 01:01:35,927 --> 01:01:38,763 road. You would think that as 1090 01:01:38,763 --> 01:01:40,498 we grow, we would like to cause 1091 01:01:40,498 --> 01:01:43,801 our citizens to be able to move 1092 01:01:43,801 --> 01:01:46,300 more freely. This plan, this 1093 01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:48,138 design for the community, will 1094 01:01:48,138 --> 01:01:49,807 cause us to bottleneck that no 1095 01:01:49,807 --> 01:01:50,909 one right now, no one wants to 1096 01:01:50,909 --> 01:01:52,900 go downtown because of the 1097 01:01:52,900 --> 01:01:53,177 bottleneck. Now you're creating 1098 01:01:53,177 --> 01:01:55,646 that same bottleneck in the 1099 01:01:55,646 --> 01:01:58,460 south nashville side. Edgehill 1100 01:01:58,850 --> 01:02:01,119 is a is a thruway. It's a 1101 01:02:01,119 --> 01:02:04,119 connector between west end at 1102 01:02:04,255 --> 01:02:07,191 21st and murfreesboro road. The 1103 01:02:07,191 --> 01:02:08,893 only other connector is 1104 01:02:08,893 --> 01:02:10,328 wedgewood avenue. There are no 1105 01:02:10,328 --> 01:02:12,930 other ways to get from 21st 1106 01:02:12,930 --> 01:02:15,990 across town, and I thought the 1107 01:02:15,990 --> 01:02:16,834 project is already. So I know 1108 01:02:16,834 --> 01:02:18,703 90% in this design phase 1109 01:02:18,703 --> 01:02:20,104 already completed, but it 1110 01:02:20,104 --> 01:02:22,600 doesn't have to be that way. I 1111 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,750 strongly encourage you to ride 1112 01:02:24,750 --> 01:02:25,877 up edgehill. Check it out. 1113 01:02:25,877 --> 01:02:29,477 Thank you. Thank you, MR.

You know, my 1828 01:31:25,153 --> 01:31:27,553 overall concern about this 1829 01:31:28,890 --> 01:31:31,890 arrangement is how much money 1830 01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,600 is bing directed toward a $1 1831 01:31:35,196 --> 01:31:37,596 billion new convention center. 1832 01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:40,634 It's widely recognized that the 1833 01:31:40,634 --> 01:31:41,836 2010 convention center 1834 01:31:41,836 --> 01:31:44,236 arrangement kind of overegged 1835 01:31:46,408 --> 01:31:48,877 the omelet, capturing tons of 1836 01:31:48,877 --> 01:31:51,120 excess revenue in that 1837 01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:52,847 structure, not allowing it to 1838 01:31:52,847 --> 01:31:53,981 be utilized to improve 1839 01:31:53,981 --> 01:31:56,150 nashville outside of the 1840 01:31:56,150 --> 01:31:57,953 convention center. And I'm 1841 01:31:57,953 --> 01:31:59,220 curious why we are doubling 1842 01:31:59,220 --> 01:32:00,822 down on that model. You know, 1843 01:32:00,822 --> 01:32:03,758 if you add up the revenue 1844 01:32:03,758 --> 01:32:06,227 sources enumerated in this in 1845 01:32:06,227 --> 01:32:07,495 this agreement with a very 1846 01:32:07,495 --> 01:32:09,162 conservative growth projections, 1847 01:32:09,162 --> 01:32:11,562 we're looking at about $6 1848 01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:13,670 billion in revenue. I would say 1849 01:32:13,670 --> 01:32:15,169 that if these revenues are 1850 01:32:15,169 --> 01:32:16,404 growing at 1 to 2%, as 1851 01:32:16,404 --> 01:32:18,730 projected by finance, that 1852 01:32:18,730 --> 01:32:19,207 would be like the most 1853 01:32:19,207 --> 01:32:20,275 disastrous economy you could 1854 01:32:20,275 --> 01:32:22,410 possibly imagine for nashville 1855 01:32:22,410 --> 01:32:24,613 across the life of this deal. 1856 01:32:24,613 --> 01:32:26,748 That also assumes that there is 1857 01:32:26,748 --> 01:32:28,149 no growth in hotel occupancy 1858 01:32:28,149 --> 01:32:30,549 because we're building a 1859 01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:32,520 convention center. So 1860 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:34,255 realistically, those $6 billion 1861 01:32:34,255 --> 01:32:37,255 that that finance is projecting 1862 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,362 out is more likely to be 8 or 1863 01:32:40,362 --> 01:32:41,496 $9 billion. This is to build a 1864 01:32:41,496 --> 01:32:43,331 $1 billion new convention 1865 01:32:43,331 --> 01:32:44,466 center. I'm afraid that we are 1866 01:32:44,466 --> 01:32:46,334 doubling down on the mistakes 1867 01:32:46,334 --> 01:32:47,602 of the past here. And I really 1868 01:32:47,602 --> 01:32:48,636 just can't support this.

I, I rise I, I 1877 01:33:08,256 --> 01:33:09,958 think what we have seen since 1878 01:33:09,958 --> 01:33:11,159 the convention center deal was 1879 01:33:11,159 --> 01:33:12,827 passed is a significant amount 1880 01:33:12,827 --> 01:33:14,629 of excess funds sitting over at 1881 01:33:14,629 --> 01:33:16,364 the convention center. And as a 1882 01:33:16,364 --> 01:33:18,600 city, we've had to go to the 1883 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,335 convention center during budget 1884 01:33:20,335 --> 01:33:22,237 crises with hat in hand, and 1885 01:33:22,237 --> 01:33:23,938 beg for them to make us whole 1886 01:33:23,938 --> 01:33:26,174 with our own money. So I think 1887 01:33:26,174 --> 01:33:28,310 my colleague raises a valid 1888 01:33:28,310 --> 01:33:30,412 points. I would say that this 1889 01:33:30,412 --> 01:33:31,913 deal in many ways makes that 1890 01:33:31,913 --> 01:33:34,820 worse, because instead of us 1891 01:33:34,820 --> 01:33:35,750 being able to go back, hat in 1892 01:33:35,750 --> 01:33:37,419 hand for those funds to make 1893 01:33:37,419 --> 01:33:39,120 our budget hole, those funds 1894 01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:40,288 are actually going into a state 1895 01:33:40,288 --> 01:33:42,288 administered grant program 1896 01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:44,892 which will provide tax relief 1897 01:33:44,892 --> 01:33:47,428 only to businesses within the 1898 01:33:47,428 --> 01:33:48,596 tdc.

That money stays 1914 01:34:18,460 --> 01:34:20,795 downtown. And now it's not only 1915 01:34:20,795 --> 01:34:23,310 going to stay downtown, but the 1916 01:34:23,310 --> 01:34:25,431 downtown participants will not 1917 01:34:25,867 --> 01:34:27,669 be paying the same taxes as 1918 01:34:27,669 --> 01:34:29,837 everybody else. And that's 1919 01:34:29,837 --> 01:34:32,237 welfare. It's corporate welfare 1920 01:34:32,340 --> 01:34:34,942 that we as a city are agreeing 1921 01:34:34,942 --> 01:34:36,711 to with this deal and with this 1922 01:34:36,711 --> 01:34:38,112 refinancing scheme. And and I 1923 01:34:38,112 --> 01:34:39,547 can't in good conscience vote 1924 01:34:39,547 --> 01:34:41,116 for that. I'm sure this will 1925 01:34:41,116 --> 01:34:42,283 pass tonight.

I think part of our 1952 01:35:42,143 --> 01:35:43,645 problem is that we don't turn 1953 01:35:43,645 --> 01:35:45,112 around and distribute it 1954 01:35:45,112 --> 01:35:47,512 equitably across the entire 1955 01:35:49,684 --> 01:35:51,719 county when we have it.

I'm going to vote yes 1965 01:36:07,340 --> 01:36:08,836 for this being 1966 01:36:08,836 --> 01:36:09,871 but I know that our bars 1967 01:36:09,871 --> 01:36:11,500 downtown and our businesses 1968 01:36:11,500 --> 01:36:12,773 downtown, they are helping us 1969 01:36:12,773 --> 01:36:13,908 make money that goes to our 1970 01:36:13,908 --> 01:36:15,210 programing.

You're recognized 2065 01:39:57,980 --> 01:39:59,980 ma'am. 2066 01:39:59,266 --> 01:40:01,469 Thank you, vice mayor. I 2067 01:40:01,469 --> 01:40:03,171 rise in support of this bill. A 2068 01:40:03,171 --> 01:40:04,672 lot of conversation went in in 2069 01:40:04,672 --> 01:40:07,141 budget yesterday. And also I 2070 01:40:07,141 --> 01:40:08,943 hear the concerns from my 2071 01:40:08,943 --> 01:40:10,812 colleagues and the skepticism 2072 01:40:10,812 --> 01:40:12,213 about what this does and the 2073 01:40:12,213 --> 01:40:13,882 money. But for those that were 2074 01:40:13,882 --> 01:40:14,983 in finance yesterday, a couple 2075 01:40:14,983 --> 01:40:17,285 of things were discussed, and 2076 01:40:17,285 --> 01:40:18,486 that was the fact that the 2077 01:40:18,486 --> 01:40:19,988 housing, social housing bond 2078 01:40:19,988 --> 01:40:21,289 that we've been trying to do 2079 01:40:21,289 --> 01:40:23,240 all this time, we will be able 2080 01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:24,926 to do it because of the 2081 01:40:24,926 --> 01:40:27,329 backstop. I shared before with 2082 01:40:27,329 --> 01:40:28,530 many of you that the deal was 2083 01:40:28,530 --> 01:40:30,498 like that when it started. It 2084 01:40:30,498 --> 01:40:31,800 was not good to start with. I 2085 01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:33,568 agree with my colleagues and we 2086 01:40:33,568 --> 01:40:34,736 could have gone and make a 2087 01:40:34,736 --> 01:40:36,570 better deal. We could have gone 2088 01:40:36,570 --> 01:40:37,705 and asked for money to put 2089 01:40:37,705 --> 01:40:39,640 elsewhere. We did not. But the 2090 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:41,709 deal that was in front of us is 2091 01:40:41,709 --> 01:40:43,511 a deal that is in front of us 2092 01:40:43,511 --> 01:40:44,645 now. I also want people to 2093 01:40:44,645 --> 01:40:45,780 understand that when you're 2094 01:40:45,780 --> 01:40:47,549 talking about sales tax, 7% of 2095 01:40:47,549 --> 01:40:50,752 our sales tax belong to the 2096 01:40:50,752 --> 01:40:52,487 state. Ours is only 2.75. And 2097 01:40:52,487 --> 01:40:54,890 so if we're not, the state is 2098 01:40:54,890 --> 01:40:56,900 allowing us to keep that in 2099 01:40:56,900 --> 01:40:58,159 there, hotel taxes part of it. 2100 01:40:58,159 --> 01:40:59,360 But the tax is a big part of it. 2101 01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:00,428 and when we did the 2102 01:41:00,428 --> 01:41:02,828 conversation with budget the 2103 01:41:02,931 --> 01:41:04,866 other day, the finance also 2104 01:41:04,866 --> 01:41:07,669 shows that because of this, we 2105 01:41:07,669 --> 01:41:08,803 are getting net money into our 2106 01:41:08,803 --> 01:41:10,905 general general fund as well. 2107 01:41:10,905 --> 01:41:12,307 So it is a net benefit. We 2108 01:41:12,307 --> 01:41:13,607 don't trust the state. We don't 2109 01:41:13,607 --> 01:41:15,310 know how the money will be used. 2110 01:41:15,310 --> 01:41:16,611 Yes, but I believe that 2111 01:41:16,611 --> 01:41:18,446 yesterday we got a commitment 2112 01:41:18,446 --> 01:41:21,316 from the finance director that 2113 01:41:21,316 --> 01:41:23,852 when we save money and from not 2114 01:41:23,852 --> 01:41:25,520 supporting this bond anymore, 2115 01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:26,720 that we will be able to put 2116 01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:28,890 that money in housing. We were 2117 01:41:28,890 --> 01:41:31,126 also told, and we also asked 2118 01:41:31,126 --> 01:41:32,860 that we have the opportunity to 2119 01:41:32,860 --> 01:41:34,295 now distribute that 300 that 2120 01:41:34,295 --> 01:41:35,897 we're not spending on the east 2121 01:41:35,897 --> 01:41:37,431 bank to make sure that it goes 2122 01:41:37,431 --> 01:41:38,799 all around the city, throughout 2123 01:41:38,799 --> 01:41:40,680 the county. So we have the 2124 01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:41,503 opportunity to do that. We've 2125 01:41:41,503 --> 01:41:42,870 never been able to do that 2126 01:41:42,870 --> 01:41:45,106 before. When we were in a 2127 01:41:45,106 --> 01:41:47,375 financial crisis our first time, 2128 01:41:47,375 --> 01:41:49,177 it took a lot for the director 2129 01:41:49,177 --> 01:41:50,411 to be able to get 20 million 2130 01:41:50,411 --> 01:41:52,179 out of that thing, because it 2131 01:41:52,179 --> 01:41:53,414 was the state. Money was the 2132 01:41:53,414 --> 01:41:55,183 way that it was drawn. I've 2133 01:41:55,183 --> 01:41:56,350 always hoped that we would get 2134 01:41:56,350 --> 01:41:58,386 money out of there. So for me, 2135 01:41:58,386 --> 01:42:00,221 the fact that we're able to get 2136 01:42:00,221 --> 01:42:02,560 300 million out, I think is a 2137 01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:03,124 win. I wish it's structured 2138 01:42:03,124 --> 01:42:04,392 differently. Yes, I agree, 2139 01:42:04,392 --> 01:42:05,359 maybe it should have been 2140 01:42:05,359 --> 01:42:06,427 structured for housing or 2141 01:42:06,427 --> 01:42:08,362 something else. I agree, but 2142 01:42:08,362 --> 01:42:10,465 the fact that we can take that 2143 01:42:10,465 --> 01:42:12,366 out, I want us to look at it as 2144 01:42:12,366 --> 01:42:13,568 when we take it out and we're 2145 01:42:13,568 --> 01:42:14,502 not using our money to fund 2146 01:42:14,502 --> 01:42:15,670 these infrastructure, that 2147 01:42:15,670 --> 01:42:17,538 money is now available for us 2148 01:42:17,538 --> 01:42:19,573 to put wherever we deem it fit 2149 01:42:19,573 --> 01:42:21,809 to, to, to put it in. And that 2150 01:42:21,809 --> 01:42:22,944 backstop for anybody that is 2151 01:42:22,944 --> 01:42:25,113 interested in funding and 2152 01:42:25,113 --> 01:42:26,480 things like that, when you are 2153 01:42:26,480 --> 01:42:28,480 backstopping somebody else 2154 01:42:28,950 --> 01:42:30,451 bonds and debt, it means that 2155 01:42:30,451 --> 01:42:32,120 if they don't pay it, we have 2156 01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:33,154 to pay it. That is something 2157 01:42:33,154 --> 01:42:34,355 that we should never sign up 2158 01:42:34,355 --> 01:42:36,570 for. It's like guaranteeing 2159 01:42:36,570 --> 01:42:38,260 your your kids car and then if 2160 01:42:38,260 --> 01:42:39,927 they don't pay, you have to be 2161 01:42:39,927 --> 01:42:41,929 on the hook for it. We don't 2162 01:42:41,929 --> 01:42:43,130 want to do that. And so this is 2163 01:42:43,130 --> 01:42:45,100 an opportunity for us to get 2164 01:42:45,100 --> 01:42:46,267 out of that and not be the one 2165 01:42:46,267 --> 01:42:48,136 signing up or responsible for 2166 01:42:48,136 --> 01:42:49,905 the bond if it's not paid. So 2167 01:42:49,905 --> 01:42:51,720 with all of that, yes, I'm 2168 01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:52,140 skeptical, but we got the 2169 01:42:52,140 --> 01:42:53,941 promise that we can move it 2170 01:42:53,941 --> 01:42:55,911 somewhere else. And the fact 2171 01:42:55,911 --> 01:42:57,145 that we'll be able to do all of 2172 01:42:57,145 --> 01:42:58,279 this with that is the reason 2173 01:42:58,279 --> 01:42:58,913 why I'm supporting it. Thank 2174 01:42:58,913 --> 01:43:00,810 you. 2175 01:43:00,810 --> 01:43:02,481 Thank you, MISS Suara. 2176 01:43:02,517 --> 01:43:03,551 Next is council member 2177 01:43:03,551 --> 01:43:05,951 porterfield.

I think we spent 2187 01:43:23,438 --> 01:43:25,940 almost two hours going through 2188 01:43:25,940 --> 01:43:27,410 this with a fine tooth comb, 2189 01:43:27,410 --> 01:43:28,876 because I wanted to make sure 2190 01:43:28,876 --> 01:43:30,211 that I considered ll things. 2191 01:43:30,211 --> 01:43:31,913 There are things about this. I 2192 01:43:31,913 --> 01:43:33,470 like things about it that I 2193 01:43:33,470 --> 01:43:34,148 don't like, just want to be 2194 01:43:34,148 --> 01:43:36,170 really transparent. But I think 2195 01:43:36,170 --> 01:43:37,850 for something that is this big, 2196 01:43:37,850 --> 01:43:38,987 like it's important that we get 2197 01:43:38,987 --> 01:43:40,188 some of this information on the 2198 01:43:40,188 --> 01:43:41,923 record so that our constituents 2199 01:43:41,923 --> 01:43:43,191 can kind of know, like what 2200 01:43:43,191 --> 01:43:46,161 we're dealing with here. I 2201 01:43:46,161 --> 01:43:49,330 don't love the idea. I guess 2202 01:43:49,330 --> 01:43:50,598 it's a both a benefit and the 2203 01:43:50,598 --> 01:43:52,133 opposite of a benefit, whatever 2204 01:43:52,133 --> 01:43:54,668 that word would be. The idea of 2205 01:43:54,668 --> 01:43:57,668 like 300 million going to east 2206 01:43:57,706 --> 01:43:59,340 bank. In essence, that frees up 2207 01:43:59,340 --> 01:44:00,909 more money to do things like 2208 01:44:00,909 --> 01:44:02,510 across the city. And we're 2209 01:44:02,510 --> 01:44:03,778 saying that we want to be able 2210 01:44:03,778 --> 01:44:05,120 to use those bonds to be able 2211 01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:06,547 to get affordable housing, 2212 01:44:06,547 --> 01:44:07,681 which is something that many of 2213 01:44:07,681 --> 01:44:08,783 us want across the board is 2214 01:44:08,783 --> 01:44:10,452 something that we've been 2215 01:44:10,452 --> 01:44:11,652 advocating for. But it does 2216 01:44:11,652 --> 01:44:13,154 feel like trickle down 2217 01:44:13,154 --> 01:44:14,789 economics. It feels like, let's 2218 01:44:14,789 --> 01:44:16,240 put money over here. Let's free 2219 01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:17,892 up this money for east bank so 2220 01:44:17,892 --> 01:44:18,994 that we can have money for 2221 01:44:18,994 --> 01:44:20,828 other things. We know that's 2222 01:44:20,828 --> 01:44:22,970 not going to be a dollar for 2223 01:44:22,970 --> 01:44:23,965 dollar. So we know that that's 2224 01:44:23,965 --> 01:44:24,966 not going to be 300 million 2225 01:44:24,966 --> 01:44:26,340 that we're seeing going to 2226 01:44:26,340 --> 01:44:27,134 these affordable housing bonds 2227 01:44:27,134 --> 01:44:28,936 or going into neighborhoods. I 2228 01:44:28,936 --> 01:44:30,805 do like that it's freeing up 2229 01:44:30,805 --> 01:44:32,600 the backstop. I do like that it 2230 01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:33,700 will free up money for the 2231 01:44:33,700 --> 01:44:34,976 affordable housing bonds. I do 2232 01:44:34,976 --> 01:44:36,811 have a concern that if we vote 2233 01:44:36,811 --> 01:44:38,790 this down, the money just sits 2234 01:44:38,790 --> 01:44:39,881 there and we're not getting the 2235 01:44:39,881 --> 01:44:41,882 benefit out of it. I did ask 2236 01:44:41,882 --> 01:44:43,318 questions about these taxes. 2237 01:44:43,318 --> 01:44:44,785 Like, if we vote this down, 2238 01:44:44,785 --> 01:44:46,821 like, can we use this tax money 2239 01:44:46,821 --> 01:44:48,356 for something else? But these 2240 01:44:48,356 --> 01:44:49,757 taxes, like the room occupancy 2241 01:44:49,757 --> 01:44:51,960 tax and the rental car fee and% 2242 01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,796 the hotel tax, these are taxes 2243 01:44:54,796 --> 01:44:56,264 that are imposed by the state, 2244 01:44:56,264 --> 01:44:58,399 meaning the state says where 2245 01:44:58,399 --> 01:44:59,634 these tax dollars go. So we 2246 01:44:59,634 --> 01:45:01,503 don't have the ability to come 2247 01:45:01,503 --> 01:45:03,700 in and say, hey, we're going to 2248 01:45:03,700 --> 01:45:04,506 use that for affordable housing, 2249 01:45:04,506 --> 01:45:05,774 or we're going to use it for 2250 01:45:05,774 --> 01:45:08,109 schools. Like we can't redirect 2251 01:45:08,109 --> 01:45:10,509 those revenue streams elsewhere. 2252 01:45:11,450 --> 01:45:12,147 So, you know, if we do vote it 2253 01:45:12,147 --> 01:45:13,414 down, we're still we're not 2254 01:45:13,414 --> 01:45:15,483 getting any benefit out of it. 2255 01:45:15,483 --> 01:45:17,252 If we pass it, we at least get 2256 01:45:17,252 --> 01:45:18,586 the benefit of the the 300 2257 01:45:18,586 --> 01:45:20,555 million. And I don't want to 2258 01:45:20,555 --> 01:45:21,590 say at least 300 million is a 2259 01:45:21,590 --> 01:45:22,757 lot of money. That's like 2260 01:45:22,757 --> 01:45:26,127 nothing to sneeze at. It's also 2261 01:45:26,127 --> 01:45:27,228 some other benefits that we are 2262 01:45:27,228 --> 01:45:29,290 looking at, like saving the 2263 01:45:29,290 --> 01:45:31,429 general fund, the 91 million 2264 01:45:31,633 --> 01:45:32,967 over the 16 years until 2043 2265 01:45:32,967 --> 01:45:35,367 and preserving the capital 2266 01:45:36,237 --> 01:45:38,339 spending plan. So I don't love 2267 01:45:38,339 --> 01:45:41,776 it, but I do think that it 2268 01:45:41,776 --> 01:45:44,512 gives us more benefit to pass 2269 01:45:44,512 --> 01:45:46,314 it than if we don't pass it. 2270 01:45:46,314 --> 01:45:48,449 I'm also concerned that if we 2271 01:45:48,449 --> 01:45:50,251 vote it down, we still don't 2272 01:45:50,251 --> 01:45:51,652 get we still can't allocate 2273 01:45:51,652 --> 01:45:53,154 these funds the way that we 2274 01:45:53,154 --> 01:45:54,255 want to allocate the funds. 2275 01:45:54,255 --> 01:45:56,570 We're always talking about 2276 01:45:56,570 --> 01:45:57,125 wanting to get money out of the 2277 01:45:57,125 --> 01:45:58,726 convention center. This has 2278 01:45:58,726 --> 01:46:00,260 been the only way that that 2279 01:46:00,260 --> 01:46:02,970 we're going to be able to get 2280 01:46:02,970 --> 01:46:03,331 meaningful dollars out of the 2281 01:46:03,331 --> 01:46:04,833 out of the convention center. 2282 01:46:04,833 --> 01:46:05,767 And lastly, I'm not convinced 2283 01:46:05,767 --> 01:46:06,968 that the convention center 2284 01:46:06,968 --> 01:46:09,370 needs expanding at this point. 2285 01:46:09,370 --> 01:46:11,539 So I also have council member 2286 01:46:11,539 --> 01:46:11,972 parker's concern there. 2287 01:46:11,972 --> 01:46:13,972 Thank 2288 01:46:14,175 --> 01:46:15,509 you, MISS Porterfield. Next in 2289 01:46:15,509 --> 01:46:16,878 the queue is council member 2290 01:46:16,878 --> 01:46:19,470 bradford. You're recognized sir. 2291 01:46:19,470 --> 01:46:21,416 Thank you, vice mayor. When I 2292 01:46:21,416 --> 01:46:23,784 ran in 2019, one of the things 2293 01:46:23,784 --> 01:46:25,453 I ran on was the evils of the 2294 01:46:25,453 --> 01:46:26,688 tdc and the amount of money 2295 01:46:26,688 --> 01:46:28,456 that just stays downtown and 2296 01:46:28,456 --> 01:46:31,456 doesn't come out into our 2297 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:33,940 neighborhoods. Tonight, I'm 2298 01:46:33,940 --> 01:46:34,895 voting in favor of this because 2299 01:46:34,895 --> 01:46:36,431 of the data thati've seen, the 2300 01:46:36,431 --> 01:46:38,533 information I've seen, like 2301 01:46:38,533 --> 01:46:40,769 we've heard tonight, the tdc 2302 01:46:40,769 --> 01:46:42,537 was not really a positive thing 2303 01:46:42,537 --> 01:46:43,972 for the city. There's a lot of 2304 01:46:43,972 --> 01:46:45,407 money that we couldn't use. If 2305 01:46:45,407 --> 01:46:47,141 we vote this down, there's 2306 01:46:47,141 --> 01:46:50,141 still money we can't use. 2307 01:46:50,878 --> 01:46:52,846 Vote this up, then we free up 2308 01:46:52,846 --> 01:46:54,115 tax bond issuance. I don't like 2309 01:46:54,115 --> 01:46:56,584 it when we have any deal that 2310 01:46:56,584 --> 01:46:57,585 has a metro backstop.As was 2311 01:46:57,585 --> 01:46:59,920 mentioned before, if something 2312 01:46:59,920 --> 01:47:01,555 goes south, we, the taxpayers 2313 01:47:01,555 --> 01:47:03,570 are responsible for paying that 2314 01:47:03,570 --> 01:47:04,910 bill. This takes that 2315 01:47:04,910 --> 01:47:05,826 responsibility off the 2316 01:47:05,826 --> 01:47:07,261 taxpayers. That's a good thing. 2317 01:47:07,261 --> 01:47:08,696 It frees up the ability for 2318 01:47:08,696 --> 01:47:09,898 metro to issue bonds for 2319 01:47:09,898 --> 01:47:11,566 capital projects elsewhere in 2320 01:47:11,566 --> 01:47:13,101 the city, instead of the east 2321 01:47:13,101 --> 01:47:15,302 bank. That's good for our 2322 01:47:15,302 --> 01:47:17,338 communities outside of downtown. 2323 01:47:17,338 --> 01:47:18,539 Is this the best deal we could 2324 01:47:18,539 --> 01:47:20,374 have gotten? No. Is it perfect? 2325 01:47:20,374 --> 01:47:21,609 No, but it is slightly better 2326 01:47:21,609 --> 01:47:22,943 than what we had before, which 2327 01:47:22,943 --> 01:47:24,679 was nothing. We are getting 2328 01:47:24,679 --> 01:47:25,647 some benefit out of this for 2329 01:47:25,647 --> 01:47:27,480 that.

These are county wide 3044 02:10:17,417 --> 02:10:19,252 taxes that are levied within 3045 02:10:19,252 --> 02:10:21,421 davidson county.

There's a 3122 02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:42,829 motion to approve. Properly 3123 02:12:42,829 --> 02:12:43,629 seconded. You have the floor, 3124 02:12:43,629 --> 02:12:44,431 MISS Boveda. 3125 02:12:44,431 --> 02:12:46,431 Thank you, vice 3126 02:12:48,301 --> 02:12:50,871 mayor. I do have a substitute 3127 02:12:50,871 --> 02:12:52,272 and a late filed amendment to 3128 02:12:52,272 --> 02:12:53,730 the substitute. 3129 02:12:53,730 --> 02:12:54,908 Why don't you 3130 02:12:54,908 --> 02:12:55,875 move that substitute? First is 3131 02:12:55,875 --> 02:12:56,709 what I would suggest. 3132 02:12:56,709 --> 02:12:57,900 Move the 3133 02:12:57,900 --> 02:12:58,111 substitute. 3134 02:12:58,111 --> 02:13:00,213 Okay. There is a 3135 02:13:00,213 --> 02:13:01,248 motion to substitute. It's 3136 02:13:01,248 --> 02:13:02,315 properly seconded. Is there 3137 02:13:02,315 --> 02:13:03,516 anything you want to share 3138 02:13:03,516 --> 02:13:04,551 about the substitute? 3139 02:13:04,551 --> 02:13:06,551 Yes. So 3140 02:13:07,420 --> 02:13:09,256 colleagues substitute does a 3141 02:13:09,256 --> 02:13:10,624 couple of things. Right. We 3142 02:13:10,624 --> 02:13:12,325 heard and I'm repeating a 3143 02:13:12,325 --> 02:13:14,127 couple of things that were said 3144 02:13:14,127 --> 02:13:16,830 in committee, but not everyone 3145 02:13:16,830 --> 02:13:18,598 was there. So there was a bit 3146 02:13:18,598 --> 02:13:20,998 of concern from different 3147 02:13:21,670 --> 02:13:24,670 departments in regards to what 3148 02:13:25,500 --> 02:13:26,873 their current drones do. So for 3149 02:13:26,873 --> 02:13:29,709 example, metro water has drones 3150 02:13:29,709 --> 02:13:32,312 that take a look at pipes. Some 3151 02:13:32,312 --> 02:13:33,647 departments use drones in their 3152 02:13:33,647 --> 02:13:36,470 communications to take video 3153 02:13:36,149 --> 02:13:38,384 and then post that video. So we 3154 02:13:38,384 --> 02:13:40,153 wanted to make sure that we 3155 02:13:40,153 --> 02:13:42,322 were not going to conflict with 3156 02:13:42,322 --> 02:13:44,858 that. And so this substitute 3157 02:13:44,858 --> 02:13:46,858 specifically addresses the 3158 02:13:47,160 --> 02:13:50,160 drones as first responder pilot 3159 02:13:51,298 --> 02:13:53,800 program. It also requires that 3160 02:13:53,800 --> 02:13:56,369 there be a public hearing 3161 02:13:56,369 --> 02:13:58,538 whenever there is a pilot 3162 02:13:58,538 --> 02:14:01,174 program. Even before I was on 3163 02:14:01,174 --> 02:14:04,174 council, the body, before many 3164 02:14:05,780 --> 02:14:06,480 of us were seated, had a 3165 02:14:06,480 --> 02:14:08,880 specific requirement that there 3166 02:14:08,948 --> 02:14:10,450 be a public hearing when a new 3167 02:14:10,450 --> 02:14:12,450 surveillance technology was 3168 02:14:12,652 --> 02:14:14,387 brought forward, regardless if 3169 02:14:14,387 --> 02:14:17,591 a contract was approved or not, 3170 02:14:17,591 --> 02:14:20,493 to give the general public an 3171 02:14:20,493 --> 02:14:22,161 opportunity to speak and give 3172 02:14:22,161 --> 02:14:25,980 their thoughts. And so I wanted 3173 02:14:25,980 --> 02:14:28,698 to make sure that we codified 3174 02:14:30,904 --> 02:14:33,573 that. And there are specific 3175 02:14:33,573 --> 02:14:35,241 regulations into what a drone 3176 02:14:35,241 --> 02:14:38,841 as a first responder can be 3177 02:14:39,913 --> 02:14:42,820 used, as. There are four. So 3178 02:14:42,820 --> 02:14:44,651 one is an active shooter 3179 02:14:44,651 --> 02:14:47,510 incident, a hostage situation, 3180 02:14:47,153 --> 02:14:48,955 an active search for a missing 3181 02:14:48,955 --> 02:14:51,491 person. And that was added due 3182 02:14:51,491 --> 02:14:52,892 in large part to some 3183 02:14:52,892 --> 02:14:55,292 conversations on this floor. 3184 02:14:56,620 --> 02:14:59,265 And then the last one is for an 3185 02:14:59,265 --> 02:15:02,265 a state of emergency declared 3186 02:15:03,603 --> 02:15:05,805 by the mayor of nashville for a 3187 02:15:05,805 --> 02:15:09,420 period of up to ten days. And 3188 02:15:09,420 --> 02:15:10,110 this is mainly for natural 3189 02:15:10,110 --> 02:15:13,110 disasters. So if there's a 3190 02:15:14,800 --> 02:15:17,680 flood or something, etc. So we 3191 02:15:19,419 --> 02:15:22,788 also added two new items in 3192 02:15:22,788 --> 02:15:25,788 which we eliminated. We made 3193 02:15:29,162 --> 02:15:32,465 sure to take out. We made sure 3194 02:15:32,465 --> 02:15:35,268 to take out autonomous drones. 3195 02:15:35,268 --> 02:15:36,736 So some people had some 3196 02:15:36,736 --> 02:15:39,736 questions in regards to this. 3197 02:15:40,807 --> 02:15:44,430 So this would eliminate the use 3198 02:15:44,430 --> 02:15:46,946 of drones that are not manned 3199 02:15:46,946 --> 02:15:49,783 by a physical person. So drone 3200 02:15:49,783 --> 02:15:52,252 manned by ai. So metro would 3201 02:15:52,252 --> 02:15:55,822 not be able to use this type of 3202 02:15:55,822 --> 02:15:57,657 drone. And so this would not 3203 02:15:57,657 --> 02:16:00,570 affect private drones, just 3204 02:16:01,661 --> 02:16:04,864 metro drones manned by ai. And 3205 02:16:04,864 --> 02:16:06,333 then we also removed facial 3206 02:16:06,333 --> 02:16:07,334 recognition from all metro 3207 02:16:07,334 --> 02:16:09,734 departments. And currently no 3208 02:16:09,936 --> 02:16:11,370 metro departments use facial 3209 02:16:11,370 --> 02:16:13,206 recognition. So that is what 3210 02:16:13,206 --> 02:16:15,742 the substitute does. And with 3211 02:16:15,742 --> 02:16:17,910 that I would like to move well, 3212 02:16:17,910 --> 02:16:20,120 I would like to move to suspend 3213 02:16:20,120 --> 02:16:21,114 the rules. No. 3214 02:16:21,114 --> 02:16:22,248 No, we have to 3215 02:16:22,248 --> 02:16:22,482 vote on your substitute. 3216 02:16:22,482 --> 02:16:24,482 With 3217 02:16:25,351 --> 02:16:27,153 that, I would like to ask for 3218 02:16:27,153 --> 02:16:28,554 your support. We worked on this 3219 02:16:28,554 --> 02:16:32,154 quite a bit, going back and 3220 02:16:32,192 --> 02:16:34,592 forth with community members, 3221 02:16:35,610 --> 02:16:36,329 different departments and okay, 3222 02:16:36,329 --> 02:16:39,929 I would ask for your support. 3223 02:16:40,660 --> 02:16:42,969 All right. There is a motion to 3224 02:16:42,969 --> 02:16:44,504 substitute with the sponsors 3225 02:16:44,504 --> 02:16:46,904 substitute. It was properly 3226 02:16:46,906 --> 02:16:49,142 seconded. And you have heard 3227 02:16:49,142 --> 02:16:51,344 the description of that 3228 02:16:51,344 --> 02:16:53,378 substitute by the sponsor. Is 3229 02:16:53,378 --> 02:16:55,915 there any discussion on the 3230 02:16:55,915 --> 02:16:58,915 motion to substitute with MISS 3231 02:16:59,952 --> 02:17:01,540 Sepulveda's substitute. Okay. 3232 02:17:01,540 --> 02:17:04,540 Seeing none. All in favor, 3233 02:17:05,224 --> 02:17:07,960 please sayi any voting? No. 3234 02:17:07,960 --> 02:17:11,764 Okay.
