Analysis
This ordinance approves a license and lease agreement between Nashville Riverboats, LLC (“NRB”) and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department and Nashville Fire Department (“Metro”) for use of a commercial boat dock.
This agreement would allow NRB to grant Metro a revocable license to dock two to four police and fire boats at a commercial boat dock on the Cumberland River at 1941 Cement Plant Road. NRB would provide reasonable access to the docks at no cost.
Metro would maintain the docks in a clean, sanitary, and operable condition, and is responsible for all damage, repairs, and replacement obligations. Metro will not hold NRB harmless for any claims. NRB would maintain commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000.
The agreement term will begin when the agreement is signed and filed with the Metropolitan Clerk and continue until April 30, 2030. The agreement may be terminated with 30 days’ notice and after a notice is sent about a failure to cure a default in the contract.
Any amendment to the agreement may be approved by a Metropolitan Council resolution receiving 21 affirmative votes.
Fiscal Note: There is no cost to Metro for the performance of this agreement.
