Nashville City Council Highlights: New Appointment, Clean Audit, and K-9 Purchase

At yesterday’s regular monthly meeting of the Nashville City Council, Mayor Larry Dunaway administered the oath of office to Lynn Dyar, who will serve as the Ward 6, Position 2 representative until the term concludes.

In other business, Leslie Winton from Wilf and Henderson PC presented the city’s audit report, confirming a clean audit with no findings of concern.

The Council also approved several key measures, including an ordinance updating the city’s personnel policy. Additionally, two resolutions were passed to place liens on properties located at 601 W Hempstead Street for $150 and 1216 W Oak Street for $500.

Police Chief Amy Marion presented a quote from the National K9 Training Center for $21,546.24, citing the need to replace the department’s aging K-9, Apollo, who can no longer serve due to health reasons. After a detailed discussion, a motion to approve the purchase of a new K-9 was made by Alderman Donna Harwell and seconded by Alderman Herbert Turley. The Council agreed to proceed with the proposal.
