Councilmember Sandra Sepulveda

The Metro Council considered legislation allowing Music City Center to refinance debt and transfer $300 million in excess tourism tax revenues for East Bank infrastructure, despite questions raised by councilmembers Sean Parker and Quin Evans Segall. The proposal involves extending dedicated tax streams while freeing up city capacity for an affordable housing bond program. Other topics included a bill restricting drone use and another effort led by Councilmember Joy Styles to mandate annual employee surveys across Metro departments.
