Message From The Mayor  
Dear Vice Mayor Henderson and Members of Council,  
Pursuant to regulations of the Tennessee Comptroller's Office, please find the attached State of  
Tennessee reporting forms for the 2026 interfund tax anticipation notes in the cumulative amount of  
$208,000,000. The tax anticipation notes were authorized through Resolution RS2026-1962 on May  
19, 2026.  
Interfund tax anticipation notes provide temporary, short-term financing to meet cash flow needs early  
in the fiscal year until property tax and other major revenues are collected. The notes are borrowed  
from other Metro funds with available cash balances and are repaid, with interest, from current fiscal  
year revenues once those revenues are received.  
As always, we appreciate the Metropolitan Council's support on these important financing initiatives.  
Sincerely,  
Freddie O'Connell  
Mayor, Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County
