Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves an agreement between the Metropolitan Government and Davidson County and Eureka Entertainment, LLC (Eureka), related to a documentary film project in which Metropolitan Government departments, offices, elected officials, and employees plan to participate, entitled “Justice USA”. The agreement authorizes Eureka to use certain sites, including the Downtown Detention Center, Behavioral Care Center, Birch Building, Public Defender offices, and other sites for the production of the documentary. Eureka would have access to these sites from commencement of filming until completion of filming, and may return on dates which Metro and Eureka agree. Eureka agrees to leave all sites in substantially the same condition and as clean and orderly as when found. Metro can require Eureka to stop filming in the event of an emergency or unforeseen urgent event in Metro’s sole discretion, if Eureka fails to comply with the agreed upon dates and times, and if Eureka does not comply with other terms of the agreement within a reasonable time following written notice by Metro.
Eureka will obtain comprehensive general public liability insurance coverage, as well as automobile liability insurance and insurance coverage for damage to a structure. Eureka will also indemnify Metro from any and all third party claims.
The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) has the right to refuse to allow filming of any sites or materials that could compromise the security of DCSO facilities. Eureka will not film participants of the Cherished Hearts Program. Further, they will not identify Mental Health Court and Veterans Count Program participants by name or film participants without a release or waiver.
