Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves the second amendment to a lease agreement between the Metropolitan Government and Nashville Metropolitan LLC for office space at 1281 Murfreesboro Pike. The original lease agreement, approved by Ordinance No. BL2023-80, was for the first, second, and fourth floors in the building, comprising approximately 43,820 in rentable square feet, for use by the Metropolitan Action Commission (“MAC”). The first amendment, approved by Resolution No. RS2024-687, added an additional floor of space for MAC, adding approximately 14,869 square feet for a total of 58,689 square feet.
In the original lease agreement, Section 8 states that the principal business to be conducted on the premises would be “General administrative office and related uses.” The amendment under consideration would change this language to specifically include that the space will be used for public meetings of MAC and its committees. No other changes would be made to the lease agreement.
