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 440 Greenway Phase II.
Pursuant to this agreement, TDOT would grant a license to Metro Parks for installation, operation, and maintenance of a greenway as a part of the 440 Greenway project. 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. Any amendments, renewals or extensions of the terms of the license agreement requires approval by the Metropolitan Council through a resolution receiving at least 21 votes.
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. Metro will be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the Phase II improvements of the 440 Greenway Project.
