Council Reviews Audit, Approves Land Sale at Brief Meeting

The Nashville City Council met Monday for a brief regular monthly meeting, covering financial updates, audit results, and action on city property.

Mayor Larry Dunaway announced that the city’s recent legislative audit came back with no issues, reporting that “everything looked good.”

Finance Director Kimberly Green presented the October 2025 financial report. According to Green, the city brought in $930,698.97 in revenue for the month, while expenditures totaled $801,324.26. Revenue exceeded expenses by $129,374.71.

However, sales tax collections showed a decline compared to the previous year. City sales tax dropped 7 percent, bringing in $10,815 less than October 2024. County sales tax was also down 5 percent, or $4,884 less than the same month last year.

Green also reported several extraordinary expenses for October, including $20,149 in depreciation for sewer plant and equipment, tied to the Hydromatic Grinder Pump for Pilgrim’s. Additional transfers included $4,600 shifted to the street department for operating expenses, and $17,307 transferred to animal control for Seborn Gregory’s sick and vacation time payout.

In other business, the council approved a 7–2 vote to sell a small tract of city-owned land to Caleb Conrad, the grantee, for $10. The property is located in Howard County, next to the fence at the Nashville City Park.

The council adjourned shortly afterward, with no further major items on the agenda.
