The demolition, of certain buildings and structures necessary for, the construction, of a new major league soccer stadium, at the fairgrounds, nashville and amending. Title 5 of the metro code to impose a privileged tax on the sale of tickets to, events at the new major, league soccer stadium, do. I have a motion. Second. And. Do. We have a motion from Convention, and tourism. Councilman. Sledge Thank. You cheer up so I'm gonna ask that the committee if they would mind moving the substitutes. In your packet and I can give an explanation if you like. Do. I have a motion to move the substitute. Any. Discussion, on that I. Can. Explain so if that's all right so substitute, is kind. Of a kind of a compromise between what was it initially. Offered. And in counts like Gilmore's, legislation. Which regards, ticket tax so what, I am proposing is, that we, have sort of an escalator, to get us from the 175. It will start out with in. The lease up, to eventually, $3, that is to address concerns, which I think are very valid regarding. Long term maintenance at the stadium and what. It also does the reason it does this is because there is a you know agreement, between the team and the league regarding, the ticket tax and this fits within that agreement as well so trying to hit that Venn diagram and that asks for the, committee's. Support. Questions. From either committee. And. With that let's have a vote on coats fairs in farmers market, all in favor say aye raise your hands. Any. Opposed. Raise. Your hands. 1. 4 2 1 motion. Passes. All. In favor from convinces, in tourism raise your hand please. Any. Opposed. Thank. You. Yeah. All.

Was the substitute, and I call I'm sorry that's okay and I've actually got two amendments I want to offer on behalf of colleagues if that's okay please go right okay so a, in, your packet is from counsel Allen it, the, the main intent here is to ensure that we, are not tearing. Anything down in the demo that's currently, being used we're, going to be used in the general operations. That, is council 80 Allen's, amendment, I viewed as a friendly amendment and, I would ask for the committee's support. And. On. First, amendment. Any. Discussion, from, either committee. Pride morning, Thank. You charity I do, want to just say I. Guess, for the our, listening, audience and, yeah is that I think, majority, of the members in here were in the Budget and Finance where there was a lot, of discussion. About. These these. Resolution, and these bills so I just. Don't want to give off the perception, that we're not thoroughly. Interest. Or had been investigating. The. Contents, of the bills just a lot of men were, debated. Out in the first and budget finance thank, you thank you great, point councilman. Any. Other comments, or questions. All. Right. This.

You step outside and grab council. Lady Gilmore, oh. There. Are two bills on Convention, and tourism that are on code so let me give, this mic to you. Thank. You, we. Have resolution. Two. Zero, one eight one, three, egg zero councillor Hall. Though. He is sponsoring, the bill so I need him to. Is. There a motion to approve. Councilor. Hall please. I'm. Sorry this is to request that the Metro Sports Authority, national, soccer Holdings, development, and the, mayor designate, Metro Council, District one as the, location for, any practice, facility. Eventually. Constructed, for use by the proposed, Major. League Soccer team players, council. Hall. We. Did it okay, Thank You councillor. Any. Questions. Okay. Simply, this is saying, that. I have, an abundance of land, in, district, 1 and that. We would be inclined. To entertain. Conversation. About place in the practice, facility, for, national, soccer and thereby less in district, 1. In. Any. Discussion, on their castle. I'm. In, support. Of any, sports. Facility. Placed, in district. 1 because. Someone, North South Nashville neighbors, have been forgotten and. They also need sidewalks out there god, bless you thank. Ya. I just is this a I, don't, see the full, language, here, but is this basically, asking. For consideration. Or. Is it actually because, I'm sure that there's all kinds of places across Davidson, County they would also like. To be reviewed, I fully. Support anybody's. Effort, to ask, for a recommendation. For. Requesting. The. Opportunity, to submit. The. Benefits. Of being in one district for the other but I'm not quite sure how, this resolution how, it would be binding or not binding or how that would work. It's. Actually it, is the non-binding resolution. But in, terms of consideration. For the district, that's simply, to counteract. Some of the negatives. That we've encountered in terms of, economic. Opportunity, and so. After, going through, repeatedly. Conversations. And, looking. At most, recently, the fair housing assessment, we're, looking at placing, some things in the district that would serve as an economic catalyst. For that community, and so this gives us an opportunity to, get. Some infrastructure, and development in that district, that we could build off of I. Think. That's I think that's great but, I would think that Old Hickory would also be interested, in I would think that there's other places around town that would, also so I'm just wondering if we're gonna have a whole, bunch of resolutions, about. Consideration. I'm just I'm confused by how. This.
Resolution Is necessary, for a, very. Valid. Effort. For. Consideration, to take place mr., Jamison could you give us some clarification. On this because it does say designate. Which, is a binding. Statement. A word or is it not. It's. Non-binding. Can. You can you explain, elaborate, because. How. Is, it not binding. So. This is merely requesting. And requesting, is kind of a magic word and resolutions, that this is not a, binding. Manner the council only acts to, bind either. Speaking. Through ordinance, or when, allowed by state law or contract, to. Enact, something by resolution so. A resolution, of this nature is non-binding on, the body. And. It would simply have a. Suggestion. Or recommendation force. But not a binding effect I. Guess. I don't understand, so why doesn't it read this is just a recommendation or. What's, the purpose of going, through it if it's not going to be, a. Commitment. By. My guests I don't want to speak, for councilman, Hall but when the day comes should there be a need for a practice facility, and he has a resolution, from this body that's passed by 21, members that, might be considered a strategically, good place to be if you're vying to be the practice facility, location. Okay. Are, there any other questions. Thank. You mr. chair mrs. chair I, definitely. Appreciate. You I. Just. Wanted to come and support. My colleague, here on. On he, does have an ample, amount of land that's in this area. Why, not Bordeaux, now I know the. Hickory, Hollow award not necessarily, Hickory Hollow the other parts, of the area that our Councilwoman. Just spoke about, they, they have areas as well but, why not Bordeaux, now what not in our, community. We, deserve. It this is our time we, have been in continuous, conversations. With the the, ownership about, that I know I have. Why, not and this is the time and I I, give all kudos, and everything, to the councilman, for. Coming forward and also just taking it to another level and I. Will do my part to make sure and, to. Push to see make sure that this happens thank, you. Any. Other discussions. Thank. You I know in committee so thank you chairs for allowed me to speak Gottesman. Halls fighting for his district and I appreciate, that and I'm supportive, of this resolution, for what it's worth um floor. Thank. You chair um I also know I'm not on the committee so so thank you for for recognizing, me. Do. We even know where the. Proposed. Practice. Facilities. Will be or. Okay. So yeah. In. District 1. A. Chair. Chair in all seriousness while, I'm asking is because. More. Often as it relates as things, have progressed. With, this deal we. Find out information, after. The fact, so I'm asking the question, as a matter of record has. It already been determined, where. The practice facilities, will be to, your knowledge I don't know who can speak to that because. If it has although. This is an on in resolution. It, ultimately, means nothing. Anyway if. It has already been predetermined. And. I support the councilman's, efforts, for. District one. Council. Hall it. Has not yet been predetermined. We have multiple. Locations that are under consideration. Fortunately. For us as a district, again, having the abundance of land but also. Expediency. In terms of access to downtown and, interstate, access gives, us the affordability, where we have multiple locations that we can choose from but there, are a few that have specifically, been looked at or being considered. Cheryl. Let me clarify my question that this would be more for that for the administration. Or someone that can speak to as. A relates to conversations. With the team that many of us have not had privy, to has. It already been predetermined. Are. They evaluating. Land. Availability. Countywide. We've. Had similar questions, as it relates to determining. The location of, the MLS stadium period, over, in councilman, sledge district, so what why I'm asking is because if, if we can prevent from, having another conversation as, it, relates to. Inconsistencies. Or in consideration. As. It relates to fairness in, determining, where a facility, should go that's, why I'm asking the question, and Thank. You councilman, Hall but you can't speak for what, the team is gonna actually decide. To do that's. My question chair, thank you so much we, appreciate that. And that's the reason why I deferred to our. Legal. Representative. To speak to, that so. Based. On the information that, he provided I, believe. Okay. Mr. Weil sure. Thank. You the the team has not yet even really begun the consideration, just to be on the record and very clear, the, team view that that would be putting the cart before the horse, but, and so they have not really even begun preliminary analysis of, where, that might need to go they're focused first on, gaining. Approval of the stadium, and then they'll turn their head to to.
Focusing On the practice, facility. No. Reason. Wants to speak do you want to speak counsel lady I. Just. Because I opened up this kind of worms I just I just wanted to say that I appreciate, all, this information, and it was information that I needed and I absolutely support. Mr. Hall's effort, in this regard thank, you. Any. Other discussion. There. Being none all in favor please raise your hand. Any. Opposed. Thank. You very much. Yeah. I mean councilman. Syracuse. This. There's. Another. Bill. Bill. Two zero one eight one two nine three council. Lady Gilmore, amends, title, five of the Metro coal to impose a privilege. Tax on the sale of tickets to events at, the new major, league soccer stadium. Is. It. Okay. Is. There motion, I'm from Baltic. Okay. In. The discussion, council lady Gilmore. Thank. You madam chair so, we have two bills on the floor I had. Put. My bill forth, sometimes I think councilman. Sledge and I will, make, a decision by. The final or reading we cope when it comes before the full committee tonight and just to share the only difference between is his is graduated. So. Graduates. Like six years goes. Up a certain amount it goes up I think about 50 cents or 25 cents each one whereas, mine just goes to the the maximum of three dollars we can do 10% by the state we, have the same idea in mind we just need to come together and, and, merge the bills or even either either cosign, on his bill or he cosines our mind and I'll mend it but we'll get it worked out. By. We. Have the full council I don't know what happened while we didn't talk to each other but anyway so, we'll, get it worked out though so I just asked the council members just let us work it out don't try to pull any bills until, tonight. So thank, you well the bill that he sponsored. Passed, did, you want to move you I do want to move my forward that's what I'm asking for that that no one stop or not support, my bill now I will I will take care of it by the time it hits the floor thank you okay thank you any.
