The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce

facilitates community leadership to create

economic prosperity. Through partnerships

with our members, elected officials and

other organizations throughout the region, we work to ensure that

business needs are a top consideration when policy

decisions are made.

The Chamber values our partnership with elected officials as we work together to create jobs and build communities. Every year, the Chamber’s board of directors adopts a state and Metro legislative agenda based on issues identified by our members in our annual policy survey. We then share these agendas with state and local elected officials.

Throughout the year, we work to provide information to our members and advocate as a collective business voice for Nashville-Davidson County. We are pleased to share our 2018 Metro Legislative Scorecard, which reports how our Metro Nashville-Davidson County Council members have voted in the past year in four policy areas:

• Creating an environment where business can prosper;

• Promoting talent development of the region’s workforce;

• Ensuring quality of life that attracts and retains residents and workers; and

• Leading regional efforts to ensure economic prosperity.

In order to create an environment where business can prosper, we help our members engage in policy decisions that directly impact their business:

LISTEN: Our annual policy survey allows our members to tell us how public policy issues impact their business.

INFORM: Our annual legislative agenda reflects the chamber’s policy positions and provides information about legislative issues important to business.

INFLUENCE: Middle Tennessee Business Voice offers our members a way to communicate directly with elected officials.

REPORT: Our annual legislative scorecard reports how our elected officials voted on the issues important to business in Nashville-Davidson County.

FY19 METRO NASHVILLE-DAVIDSON COUNTY OPERATING BUDGET

On May 1, 2018, Mayor David Briley filed his proposed FY19 operating budget, BL2018-1184, with Metro Council. After reviewing the Mayor’s proposed budget, Metro Council’s Budget and Finance Committee held hearings for Metro Departments and Metro Council held a public hearing to review the Mayor’s proposed budget. If the Budget and Finance Committee makes changes to the Mayor’s budget, then the committee files a substitute budget ordinance reflecting such changes.

On June 14, 2018, Budget and Finance Chair Tanaka Vercher (District 28) proposed a substitute budget ordinance for BL2018-1184 that included more than $2 million in cuts to Mayor Briley’s budget.

On June 18, 2018, the Budget and Finance Committee voted to approve Vercher’s substitute budget ordinance. The substitute budget ordinance was introduced at the June 19, 2018 Metro Council meeting.

SUBSTITUTE BUDGET AMENDMENT (MENDES) – $0.50 PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

Council member Bob Mendes (At-Large) proposed a substitute operating budget proposal for FY19 to increase Davidson County’s property tax rate by 50-cents. This property tax increase was projected to generate about $150 million in new revenue. Mendes sought to put the funding towards the cost of living increases (COLA) for Metro employees (as promised by former Mayor Barry, but not included in Mayor Briley’s budget due to revenue shortfalls), schools, Metro’s debt liabilities, replenishing Metro’s 5% fund and covering minimal inflation. Council members, educators, labor, police and fire unions and other citizens expressed public support of Mendes’ proposed property tax increase. However, at the June 19, 2018 meeting, Metro Council voted 20-19 to defeat this substitute amendment, with Vice Mayor Sheri Weiner casting the deciding vote.

The Chamber took no position on the proposed property tax increase but has included this information for members in the 2018 scorecard as the issue of revenue shortfall is likely to continue in coming years.

After the defeat of the substitute budget proposed by Mendes, Metro Council approved Vercher’s substitute ordinance, adopting a budget for Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson County for FY18-19.

creating an environment where business can prosper

In 2013, Mayor Karl Dean appointed a Study and Formulating Committee to assess the system of benefits for current and future Metro

employees. The committee concluded its work in 2015, finding that Metro’s retiree health care obligations are not pre-funded, but are

managed on a “pay as you go basis,” which has generated a projected liability of $2.6 billion. Metro retiree health benefits payments grew

by 360 percent from 2002 to 2014. The Nashville Chamber regards this growing healthcare liability as a threat to Metro’s financial security

and its ability to meet the needs of the city in the future.

In July 2017, Council member Bob Mendes (At-Large) sponsored legislation BL2017-726 which adds a requirement for the Metro Finance

Department to maintain a written debt management policy that explains the maximum amount of outstanding debt and debt ser vice, the

metrics used to calculate the debt and a strateg y for managing Metro’s pension obligations and other post-employment benefits.

Meanwhile, BL2017-790, sponsored by Council members Bob Mendes, Mike Freeman (District 16), Mina Johnson (District 23), Angie

Henderson (District 34) and Freddie O’Connell (District 19), would alter the current health care benefits provided to Council members

during and after their tenure. For Council members beginning their terms after August 31, 2019, and who ser ve at least eight years in

office, the bill would require Council members to pay an amount that matches what other Metro employees with the same years of ser vice

pay for their health coverage. For example, the bill would require a former Council member with eight years of ser vice to pay 75 percent of

the premium for continuing health benefits after leaving office instead of the current 25 percent.

Sustainable fiscal policies

6

Chamber position

Support responsible and sustainable fiscal policies, ensuring the long-term prosperity of the city.

Status

The Chamber supported both bills as steps in a larger, necessar y conversation on how to manage

the growing cost and financial liability of post-retirement benefits for Metro employees. On June

20, 2017, Mendes introduced a substitute amendment for BL2017-726. This substitute amendment

was supported by the Chamber and adopted by a Metro Council voice vote. BL2017-790 was

recommended for indefinite deferral by the Budget and Finance and the Personnel, Public

Information, Human Relations, and Housing committees. Mendes withdrew the bill at the Februar y

8, 2018 Metro Council meeting.

7

A lack of clear definition, transparency and predictability

around the development process can create barriers to

investment by making it dif ficult for businesses to operate

or expand. BL2016-219, sponsored by Council members

Fabian Bedne (District 31) and Karen Johnson (District

29), proposes to rezone property on Forest View Drive by

cancelling a portion of the Forest View Park Planned Unit

Development and “downzoning” the property – reducing

its development entitlements from duplex zoning to

single-family only zoning – without the consent of the

property owners. This bill , initially proposed in 2016, has

been deferred numerous times. As a result of the delay, the

affordable housing development proposed for the site has

been cancelled. The property owner continues to await

action on whether legally-granted entitlements will be

stripped from their property.

Chamber position

Support predictable and transparent development and zoning policies that

encourage development, investment and support for entrepreneurs and small

businesses.

Status

The Chamber opposes BL2016-219. The Chamber does not generally take a position

on zone changes. However, the downzoning, if adopted, would set a precedent for

future development by suggesting development entitlements that were lawfully

gained could be diminished or stripped. It is worth noting that other Council

members have proposed downzonings that the Chamber has not opposed. The

Chamber did not oppose those downzonings because Council members worked

with the property owners to reach a compromise amenable to both parties. At the

August 21, 2018, Metro Council meeting, Council Member Karen Johnson moved to

withdraw the bill , which was approved by a voice vote of the Council .

Transparent development and zoning policies

8

Government regulates private business in a number

of ways, including regulating operational impacts

through the use of noise ordinances and other tools.

BL2017-835, sponsored by Council member Kathleen

Murphy (District 24), would require signs to be posted

by building and demolition permit holders for projects

of more than a specified dollar value to include

information regarding times during which work can

be performed and the maximum noise which could be

emitted from the construction and demolition sites.

Chamber position

Oppose legislation that applies duplicative and/or confusing

regulations to business.

Status

The Chamber opposed the initial draft of BL2017-835, but worked

with the sponsor and other stakeholders on a substitute. The Chamber

and partner groups voiced concerns regarding the initial bill fearing

that the sponsor’s attempt to improve transparency around noise

regulations would lead the public to believe that construction noise

regulation was applied uniformly throughout Davidson County. The

substitute ordinance clarifies where the noise ordinances apply and

requires signage only for those sites for which the noise ordinance is

applicable. Metro Council acted in support of the Chamber’s position by

adopting the substitute ordinance on September 19, 2017. 9

Government regulation of private businesses

Designed to generate positive economic returns by creating jobs and

generating new tax revenue, economic development tax credits and

incentives are valuable investments critical to maintaining a competitive

business environment in Tennessee and Davidson County.

BL2017-836, sponsored by Council members Jacobia Dowell (District

32) and John Cooper (At-Large), approved legislation that allows Metro

to provide payments in lieu of ad valorem taxes (a PILOT incentive)

to encourage the location and expansion of Keystone Automotive

Industries, Inc. in Nashville.

RS017-986, sponsored by Council members Freddie O’Connell

(District 19) and Tanaka Vercher (District 28), approved economic and

community development incentive grants for Philips Holding, USA, as

part of the Netherlands-based health technolog y giant’s expansion to

Nashville.

BL2017-983, sponsored by Council member Anthony Davis (District

7), amended the part of Metro Code of Laws pertaining to economic

and community development incentive grants (grants) and payment

in lieu of taxes (PILOT) incentives applying additional requirements

and compliance monitoring to economic and community development

incentive grants.

Prior to the passage of BL2017-983, economic and community

development incentive grant agreements had to be approved by a vote

of 21 members of the Metropolitan Council and were subject to the

annual appropriation of funds by the Council . This legislation maintains

these requirements for economic and community development grant

agreements, but now includes additional requirements for the grants

and the PILOT incentives. Companies seeking the grants or PILOT

incentives must now submit a “project proposal” to the Council to review

prior to Council’s approval of the grant or PILOT incentive. The project

proposal requires companies to disclose the type and number of jobs that

would be created – including construction jobs, if any – by the company,

including whether the jobs will be temporar y or permanent, and how

many identified jobs will be filled by Davidson County residents. The

company seeking the grants of PILOT incentives is also required to create

a “workforce plan” including the proposed wages for the jobs; whether

the project would use apprentices from programs certified by the U.S.

Department of Labor ; and the number and type occupational, safety and

hazardous violations, or employment or wage-related legal actions filed

within federal or state courts against the company or any contractor or

subcontractor of the company retained on the qualified project.

10

Economic development tax credits and incentives

Chamber position

Support the use of local government tax credits and incentives for economic

development as additional tools to encourage the relocation or expansion of

business in Nashville.

Status

The Chamber supported BL2017-836, incentives for Keystone Automotive

Industries, Inc. Metro Council took action supporting the Chamber’s position.

The resolution was adopted on September 5, 2017.

The Chamber supported RS2017-986, incentives for Philips Holding, USA.

Metro Council took action supporting the Chamber’s position. The resolution

was passed on December 19, 2017.

The Chamber opposed BL2017-983, changing the requirements and process

for receiving and retaining economic development incentives. Metro Council

acted against the Chamber’s position. The ordinance was adopted on

Januar y 2, 2018.

BL2017-983 requires the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Community

Development to present the project proposal to Metro Council prior to

Council’s vote on the incentive. The proposal will be incorporated into

the agreement if the Council elects to approve the incentives. Companies

receiving a grant or PILOT will be required to submit quarterly reports

demonstrating compliance with the agreement to Metro. Companies

receiving the economic and community development incentive grants will

also be required to provide annual compliance reports to the Council . If the

report shows that the company has not met the standards outlined in the

project proposal; the grant may be terminated.

The Chamber was part of a group of economic development professionals

that prepared an amendment to the bill to strike a better balance of

providing Council the information it needs, without discouraging companies

from coming to or growing in Davidson County. This amendment was not

included in the legislation and the legislation proceeded with opposition

from the Chamber.

11

talent development of the region’s workforce

In order for Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) to offer

the programs and support necessar y to boost academic

performance and close the student achievement gap, they

need appropriate funding from local, state and federal sources.

MNPS submitted a $924 million budget for the school district,

representing a $44.7 million increase for schools. However,

Mayor Briley ’s budget, BL2018-1184, included a $5 million

increase for schools.

The Capital Improvements Budget (CIB), (substitute bill

BL2018-1196) sponsored in this budget cycle by Council

members Tanaka Vercher (District 28) and Fabian Bedne

(District 31), is a planning tool to prioritize and coordinate

investments in long-term, durable improvements to be provided

by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson County.

The F Y18-19 through F Y23-24 CIB proposed $348,824,762 in

projects for MNPS over the six-year period.

Chamber position

Support operational and capital funding for public education as a city

budget priority.

Status

The Chamber accepted the substitute operating budget bill and

supported the capital improvements budget. Metro Council adopted

the CIB substitute bill , BL2018-1196, on June 12, 2018. On June 19,

2018, Metro Council adopted the substitute amendment for BL2018-

1184, the metro budget for F Y18-19. The substitute amendment

provided MNPS a $7 million net increase in the approved budget,

significantly less than the $44.7 million requested, but more than the

initial budget proposed by Mayor Briley.

School funding

13

ensuring a quality of life that attracts and retains residents and workers

Investing in public infrastructure is critical

to improving the quality of life in any growing

metropolitan area. From entertainment and

convention venues to investments in sidewalks,

bikeways and water and stormwater systems,

Nashville-Davidson County has many investments

that require a continuing conversation on providing

infrastructure to support a growing city and building

facilities and venues that promote economic

development and improve quality of life. RS2017-910,

sponsored by Council member Colby Sledge (district

17), approved the issuance of $225 million in revenue

bonds for the Major League Soccer (MLS) stadium

project.

Chamber position

Support investment in public infrastructure and entertainment venues that have a

strong business and financial case and broaden Nashville’s reputation as a livable city.

Status

The Chamber supported RS2017-910 as substituted and amended. The Chamber has

supported similar public infrastructure projects in the past that enhance economic

development and quality of life, such as Nissan Stadium, Bridgestone Arena, Music City

Center and First Tennessee Park. Metro Council took action supporting the Chamber’s

position, and RS2017-910 was adopted on November 7, 2017. The construction of the

stadium is contingent upon additional votes from Metro Council: (1) at least 27 Metro

Council members must approve legislation to demolish some existing fairground

buildings and (2) the rezoning of a portion of the fairgrounds property for mixed-use

development to be constructed in conjunction with the MLS stadium.

Public infrastructure

14

A welcoming and inclusive environment is vital to building

a global city that continues to attract and retain businesses,

workers, visitors and investment from all over the world.

Chamber position

Support efforts to maintain our identity and brand

as a welcoming, inclusive city.

Status

Because no bills were filed on this issue in F Y17-18,

it is not included in the individual vote count.

Welcoming and inclusive city

15

regional efforts to ensure economic prosperity

Nashville-Davidson County has long been a critical hub in moving goods

throughout the southeast and the countr y. We increasingly see the need

to move talent around Davidson County and the region. Nashville and

the Middle Tennessee region are thriving and are expected to continue

growing, adding nearly one million new residents to the region by 2040.

New development is, however, expected to double commute times over the

next 25 years. In order to meet the transportation needs of current and new

residents and visitors, keep pace with future grow th and mitigate future

traffic congestion, Nashville and the region must invest in infrastructure

that encourages rapid, mass transportation.

BL2017-1031, sponsored by Council member Jeremy Elrod (District 26),

adopted a transit improvement program for the Metropolitan Government

of Nashville-Davidson County, approving a surcharge for the program, and

requesting the Davidson County Election Commission to call a county-wide

referendum election on the transit improvement program and funding, to

be held on May 1, 2018.

Chamber position

Support the expansion of Metro Nashville’s

multi-modal transportation systems and a

dedicated funding source for regional mass transit

infrastructure that has a strong business case for

success.

Status

The Chamber supported this legislation. Metro

Council took action supporting the Chamber’s

position, adopting BL2017-1031 on Februar y 6, 2018.

Transportation infrastructure

16

Downtown Nashville is the civic, cultural and economic hub of the region and is now home to more than

10,000 residents. It is a major economic engine for the county through sales and property tax collections,

which continue to grow.

The Capital Improvements Budget (CIB), (substitute bill BL2018-1196) sponsored in this budget cycle

by Metro Council members Tanaka Vercher (District 28) and Fabian Bedne (District 31), is a planning

tool to prioritize and coordinate investments in long-term, durable improvements to be provided by

Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson County. BL2018-1196 included a proposal to build a

downtown Nashville f lood protection system.

Per Council’s request, when the downtown f lood protection system was discussed in 2017, Metro Water

Ser vices held public meetings across Nashville-Davidson County, explaining what f lood mitigation

efforts Metro had undertaken throughout the county since the historic f loods of 2010 and explaining

the need for a f lood protection system in downtown Nashville. The downtown f lood protection system

would include a f lood wall between the Cumberland River and First Avenue, consisting of a 2,100-foot-

long removable wall on one stretch that would take eight hours to erect, 900 feet of permanent wall , as

well as a pumping station to divert f loodwaters. This proposal would cost $125 million. Funding would

come from the water department’s bonding for capital projects, which is backed by Metro Nashville-

Davidson County water department ratepayers. About $1.90 to $2 per each bill would be allocated to

the downtown f lood protection system. The downtown f lood protection system investment has been

previously rejected by Metro Council three times.

Chamber position

Support the development of the downtown core as

essential to the grow th of Davidson County and the

region.

Status

At the June 5, 2018, Metro Council meeting,

Council voted – by a voice vote – to remove the

downtown f lood protection system from the Capital

Improvement Budget, BL2018-1196 (as amended).

The Chamber supports the creation of the

downtown f lood protection system. Since Council

disapproved this ordinance by voice vote and not a

roll call vote, the Chamber was unable to accurately

record the vote for the purposes of the 2018 Metro

Legislative Scorecard.

Downtown core

17

Workforce and affordable housing are needed in Davidson County to

retain and attract residents and workers. The Metro Social Ser vices 2017

Community Needs Evaluation found that in 2016, 90,531 households in

Davidson County were considered “cost burdened,” meaning they spend

more than 30 percent of their income on housing expenses. The Nashville

Chamber seeks to improve affordability by increasing the supply of

housing and expanding transit ser vice across the region to provide

affordable and reliable access to neighborhoods and jobs.

As ref lected in the 2017 Legislative Scorecard, on September 6, 2016,

after more than a year of study and debate, Metro Council passed two

pieces of affordable housing legislation - substitute BL2016-133 and

BL2016-342.

Substitute BL2016-133, sponsored by Council members Burkley Allen

(District 18) and Bob Mendes (At-large), established inclusionar y zoning

requirements for for-rent developments in specific geographic areas

of the county. In March 2018, the Tennessee General Assembly passed

legislation which nullified Nashville’s inclusionar y zoning.

BL2016-342 sponsored by Council members Bill Pridemore (District

9), Burkley Allen (District 18), Fabian Bedne (District 31), Bob Mendes

(At-large), Sheri Weiner (District 22), Anthony Davis (District 7), Colby

Sledge (District 17), Freddie O’Connell (District 19), Mina Johnson

(District 23), and Nancy VanReece (District 8), created a three-year pilot

Housing Incentive Pilot Program (HIPP), which is designed to incentivize

private developers to incorporate affordable and workforce units into

their new apartment, condo and housing developments or convert

existing units to affordable or workforce units. This voluntar y program

promotes more mixed income housing, primarily in the urban core and

along major transportation corridors where most needed. The goal is to

provide housing options for working families in Nashville that would be

offered at rates that do not exceed 30 percent of their household income.

In the past year, two developments proposed to use the HIPP grant.

Workforce and affordable housing

18

Chamber position

Support the creation of affordable and workforce housing through voluntar y and incentive-based

programs.

Status

The Chamber endorsed substitute BL2016-133 and Metro Council took action supporting the

Chamber’s position by approving substitute BL2016-133 on September 6, 2016. The inclusionar y

housing requirements were slated to go into effect in June 2017. However, in March 2018, the

Tennessee General Assembly passed legislation which nullified Nashville’s attempt to create

affordable housing through inclusionar y zoning.

On September 6, 2016, Metro Council approved BL2016-342, HIPP, which was endorsed by the

Chamber. The Chamber supported RS2017-786 and RS2017-787. However, at the July 18, 2017 Metro

Council meeting, sponsors of the resolution noted that the Ad Hoc Affordable Housing and Budget

and Finance committees recommend withdrawal. This prompted Metro Council members Bedne

(District 31) and Murphy (District 24) to withdraw these resolutions.

RS2017-786, sponsored by Council member

Fabian Bedne (District 31), was a resolution

approving a HIPP grant agreement between the

Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson

County and Miken Development, LLC for the

conversion of two units into workforce rental

units located at 1211 51st Avenue North.

RS2017-787, sponsored by Council member

Kathleen Murphy (District 24), was resolution

approving a HIPP grant agreement between the

Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson

County and Hill Center Sylvan Heights, LLC for

the conversion of 15 apartments into workforce

rental workforce housing units located at 601 and

610 Sylvan Heights Way.
