Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves amendments one and two to a grant from the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service, to the Metropolitan Nashville Historical Commission. The grant, originally approved pursuant to Resolution No. RS2021-1212, is used to provide funding for the completion of a historical context focused on Nashville resources associated with the Civil Rights Movement from 1944 to 1966.
Amendment one extends the end date of the grant from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Amendment two removes the $3,010 cost of one historical marker from the budget match requirement and scope of work because the marker will cause significant delays in the project due to regulatory review. As a result, the required cash match is reduced from $5,160 to $2,150.
