Metro Council members will take up a revised budget proposal today that adds back about 17 jobs.
Six positions will return to Metro Codes and Public Works. Metro Parks will get 11 positions intended to maintain parks so residents will keep using them. The Council would also like to add $60,000 to hire an executive director for the Community Education Alliance—the group that runs adult education classes.
To pay for these jobs, money will be taken from several emergency funds and from two groups that get money from tourism taxes. Those reductions include $200,000 from the Nashville Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and $50,000 from the Country Music Hall of Fame.
