Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement between the Metropolitan Department of Parks and Recreation (“Metro Parks”) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (“TDOT”) to construct and maintain a multi-use pedestrian greenway at Cayce Landing riverfront park.
Pursuant to this agreement, TDOT would grant a license to Metro Parks for installation, operation, and maintenance of the Cayce Landing riverfront park. Metro Parks may only use the space for a public use purpose. The license would be granted at no cost to Metro and would be for a term of 10-years on a renewable basis.
State law authorizes the Metropolitan Government to enter into intergovernmental agreements with the State of Tennessee by resolution.
Fiscal Note: There is no cost to Metro for the performance of this agreement.
