Why it matters: The board sets the executive director’s pay under the authority’s bylaws; the committee said it will submit materials to Metro HR for consideration of any change to the executive director’s salary.

What the committee heard: Vice Chair Chad Duncan summarized the personnel committee meeting. Director Dan Hogan presented a salary summary comparing the authority’s executive director compensation with peers. The committee noted that the authority’s bylaws designate the board as responsible for setting the executive director’s pay and that Metro HR (Shannon Hall, Metro HR director) requested a salary summary, comparables and an updated job description to consider a potential salary change.

Next steps: Staff will draft an updated job description, deliver comparables and the salary summary to Metro HR, and the committee voted to reconvene in May to complete the executive director’s annual performance review. The committee also expressed interest in reviewing salary improvements for other staff positions.

Ending: The board invited all authority members to participate in the May review; the personnel committee emphasized documentation and committee participation in any compensation changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","04/17/25 Sports Authority","oneSentenceSummary","The authority’s personnel committee reviewed executive compensation comparables and voted to reconvene in May to complete the executive director’s annual performance review and pursue a potential salary adjustment; the committee also asked staff to update the executive director job description and submit comparables to Metro HR.","taxTitle","Sports Authority Meetings, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee","taxId",77588,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268321,"Nashville Sounds preview season at First Horizon Park; scoreboard replacement planning moves onto authority’s radar",1030,835000,1865000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3056069-a3e4a8b848456e34673ea6781dd7e230&start=835&end=1865","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3056069-a3e4a8b848456e34673ea6781dd7e230/thumbnail_835000.jpg","/articles/6268321/Tennessee/Nashville-Sounds-preview-season-at-First-Horizon-Park-scoreboard-replacement-planning-moves-onto-authoritys-radar","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268321-8fe4b9f5e1b248279b1a5b4a252b20af/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440504&Signature=mHJb7octRvFAjJylW16S6zHQSKcY4lssfxvh7JeWY9h4S-iOw7LeZcQL862gUl6H9V-epwh8tIahg22YCK8yy6xX-v22GdgY9tNMyVGjJdtTUmdGRnkFdz0i1a5aPo5dZdTeEu~deQx5TUiFzZuFIt9~Lt~EzWx01k7Jh1lawOpOREcbK53MT13Pz7tKy6ve3eLKcEnC4wG5rK4Ki-32su2HHOnir~atc8NoP5fDku~kNsVVTG~uGRJrEcCdp97eC9EKyrPKaeBhahDr4OGUH9dSMrr4YNQyPjnFzAmuY-8ZTUprhsdOxGCR8RgWgpUOu95xHhZ6JRk-aVwv4RpHsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Adam English, general manager of the Nashville Sounds, and assistant GM Doug Scopel reviewed the Sounds’ 2025 season plans and said the organization expects strong attendance while highlighting new concessions, theme nights and community programs.

Why it matters: The Sounds operate First Horizon Park (the authority’s facility), host thousands of fans and run community partnerships that depend on the venue’s condition and amenities. The authority asked for details about an aging scoreboard and future capital needs.

Season preview highlights: English described the team’s 10th anniversary at First Horizon Park and a slate of themed nights (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Margartaville, Bluey family events), giveaways (clear bag policy totes, retro items, a Butch McCord jersey giveaway tied to black‑baseball history and an Eli Giants jersey for Juneteenth weekend) and new concessions items including a plant‑based crispy chicken sandwich and a Korean barbecue cheesesteak.

Community programs: The Sounds reported a range of community events — pop‑up baseball outreach to schools and YMCAs, a second annual Sound Scramble fundraiser, scholarships for Middle Tennessee students, a free dental clinic for children in partnership with Delta Dental and other nonprofits, and monthly hospital visits with Vanderbilt for pediatric patients.

Scoreboard and capital planning: Board members asked for an update on the stadium scoreboard. English and Scopel said the scoreboard is roughly 10–11 years old and that the opening‑night problem earlier in the season was a software issue, not a hardware failure. Vendors told them that outdoor LED displays typically have a useful service life of about 10 years and that some components are increasingly hard to replace. The Sounds said they would research replacement options, estimate costs and report back to the authority’s finance committee in the coming months, with an initial planning horizon targeting a 2027–28 replacement cycle.

Ending: Board members thanked the Sounds for their community programming and asked staff to return with a cost and schedule estimate for potential scoreboard replacement and any other near‑term capital items.","Sounds general manager and staff briefed the authority on the 2025 season, fan experience additions and menu changes at First Horizon Park and said the stadium scoreboard is aging; staff will research replacement timing and costs for future consideration.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268328,"Ironman Group previews 25th Rock & Roll Nashville, says 25,000 participants expected; parking fees to be waived",245,354000,599000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3056069-a3e4a8b848456e34673ea6781dd7e230&start=354&end=599","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3056069-a3e4a8b848456e34673ea6781dd7e230/thumbnail_354000.jpg","/articles/6268328/Tennessee/Ironman-Group-previews-25th-Rock-Roll-Nashville-says-25000-participants-expected-parking-fees-to-be-waived","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268328-ad8f07eaebfa1a9353f55dac3b7a42ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440504&Signature=VuXQZWKlcs3bni77085THhPFStuPLyt53oWUz2cPpHRzC-YN4FgJeGOkpniZUoKtOaXbmrAEn7o2hwPce~~196Mc9Zf~6XM11g~GOOZuS5Dt3bqo~s2rK8BctvuGmmgncpzgWYiCyrpMIAt2ZPdzhapdXbp2Rznf-MqNFRGoXZrMY1D2tNFgP20O633K5DKdG7oOV7H56rXlMwwqSNN8iaIZB4WumfTA8PJysquirRCWbOfRz6fK6YPwgYqeumHCIjw4qDUMbMGpyYSf9B1r2-1GPdejcmCosE833lQN1CDyAoJ~rYj0EBYfQXf8H3igxGwv8UMj9q7gtSJ5QEdEqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brent Bernat, regional director for Ironman Group, told the Sports Authority the Saint Jude Rock & Roll Nashville event will celebrate its 25th running next weekend and expects more than 25,000 participants from all 50 states and more than two dozen countries.

Why it matters: The multi‑day event brings large participant and visitor volumes to Nashville and contributes directly to local tourism and hospitality economic activity.

Key details: Bernat said the Health and Fitness Expo will be at the Music City Center on Thursday and Friday, with race days Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s schedule includes half‑marathon, full marathon, 5K and 10K events; Sunday features a 1‑mile kids’ run and a “doggy dash.” Bernat said the series commonly offers musical acts on course and post‑race entertainment and reported that the Ironman Group and the event’s title partner, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, have raised about $13 million for St. Jude since the hospital became title partner in 2012.

Community giving: Bernat also said the Ironman Foundation’s Rock This Town community give‑back program has provided nearly $70,000 in grants to local organizations over the years. The presentation included legacy runner recognition and a short anniversary video.

Parking and logistics: Executive staff told the board the authority will waive parking fees for the event this year as it did the prior year. Organizers said the event’s footprint has evolved, requiring a civic event‑style agreement rather than a traditional license and use agreement to accommodate staging and access changes.

Economic impact: Bernat cited an economic‑impact figure of about $56 million for last year’s event and said the event series has contributed hundreds of millions to Nashville’s economy in recent years; figures reported in the meeting included cumulative series impacts.

Ending: Board members thanked Ironman Group for the partnership and praised the event’s volunteer and community contributions. Bernat invited questions and described continued efforts to combine running, music and community giving as central to the event’s identity.","Ironman Group told the Sports Authority it expects more than 25,000 participants for next week's Saint Jude Rock & Roll Nashville, highlighted fundraising totals for St. Jude and local grants, and said the authority will again waive parking fees for race events.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268333,"Authority shortens debt‑service timing, receives construction and workforce update on East Bank Stadium project",1940,2020000,3960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3056069-a3e4a8b848456e34673ea6781dd7e230&start=2020&end=3960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3056069-a3e4a8b848456e34673ea6781dd7e230/thumbnail_2020000.jpg","/articles/6268333/Tennessee/Authority-shortens-debtservice-timing-receives-construction-and-workforce-update-on-East-Bank-Stadium-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268333-cbba47c9d572df385191055bc49424b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440504&Signature=BpQ7Vi7eD2tWjBYlDUwbX9zC-tCvn6Zre3uFjuBQ8RJKZ~uHX4KMcngF~mHGauIX7zcBRAFfzggoOxumtEhjbqqtFufmNJ0UCRX5VNqWXEJngdCaJGSEjC7GP6EvSQauHPfIcAxgsLklMoibL16Km~G8neEE69N~ODkwiTN7DrMdMN-a~tzcMgfuvnHOkFTxbx4hh7bEOUGektivZMe3L6GYgvmnmA37JH~yHtCcPjzGEkTD72E15OCl1gxwWulTA8WAeOk86eoh0DNi0WmjYw7gQAJSWARlIc8AuHAqPy-YZDcle1oKWV36~-~vF41Rkgp22R4E1IU3MCq-4t7MOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sports Authority of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County voted to approve an amendment to the Titan (East Bank) Stadium indentures that shortens the timing the trustee uses to move revenue into debt‑service accounts, a change staff said will allow the authority to capture more incoming receipts for debt payments.

Why it matters: The amendment affects cash‑management mechanics for the authority’s public facility revenue bonds for the East Bank Stadium project and reduces the interval between the trustee’s revenue transfer dates and bond payment dates from about 10 days to four days, staff said. Authority counsel said that change is intended to make more revenues available to meet debt service if receipts arrive late in the transfer window.

The board approved the resolution after bond counsel summarized the change and fielded no questions. Bria Smith‑Edwards of Bass, Berry & Sims, acting as bond counsel for Metro, described the trustee’s interpretation of the current indenture language and said the amendment would allow Regions Bank, as trustee, to move monies that accumulate between the trustee’s regular transfer date and the debt‑service payment date so those funds can be used for debt service when needed.

At the same meeting, the authority and the Titans team provided a monthly construction update on the East Bank Stadium project, reporting continued progress on structure, concrete, steel and precast erection and providing workforce, diversity business (DBE) and safety metrics.

Construction and budget: Project managers reported that elevated deck pours and concrete work are underway across the site, saying the project has completed numerous elevated deck pours and is roughly 47% complete on slab‑on‑grade work. The team reported 18,785 tons of structural steel in contract and tens of thousands of pieces already set; precast seating fabrication was reported at roughly 42% complete with erection at about 12%.

DBE and local participation: Project managers reported about $81–82 million paid to DBE‑related firms to date and an increase in the number of participating DBE firms to 63. The DBE payments were reported as roughly 23% of qualifying contract dollars tracked by the team. Managers also reported continued local participation by Tennessee‑based companies and said about 14 Tennessee firms have worked on the project so far (a figure the team said equates to substantial local participation when measured against total subcontractor counts).

Workforce and training: Reggie Polk of Polk & Associates and Adolfo Burch (Titans construction team) reported workforce figures showing approximately 2,331 workers who have touched the job site since work began, with minority and female participation rising month to month. Managers said minority workers accounted for roughly 55% of hours worked and female participation was up 16% from prior reports. The report also highlighted the TC2 workforce training program: 359 applicants, 67 participants and 64 graduates to date; 64 OSHA‑10 certifications issued.

Safety: The team reported one new recordable injury in the reporting period — a steel worker who suffered a hairline fracture to a foot after mishandling tube steel — and 18 first‑aid cases (minor injuries such as debris in the eye and strains). The project’s recordable incident rate (RIR) stood at 1.06, down from 1.17 the prior month and below the cited industry average of 1.71; managers said the project’s goal is an RIR near 0.5.

Next steps and schedule: Construction representatives said they are continuing design coordination, reviewing addenda and change orders, and plan to provide a more detailed cost/quote package for the authority’s finance committee later in the year. The team also said it would issue a public call to artists for stadium artwork and continue outreach programs including a planned heavy‑metal summer camp for high‑school students and other workforce pipelines.

Ending: Board members congratulated the construction team on safety and DBE performance and asked for continued reporting on tariffs, supply‑chain impacts and the schedule for vendor quotes. The resolution to amend the indentures passed on a voice vote; staff said a fuller cost update and timeline for any future scoreboard or similar capital replacements would follow in committee reports.","The Sports Authority approved a trustee‑indenture amendment to narrow the window for moving revenues into debt‑service accounts and received detailed construction, DBE and workforce progress reports on the East Bank (Titan) Stadium project.","actionData","errors"]
