MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Mayor Bill Purcell addressed the Metropolitan Council with the following statement:
I wanted to come up here tonight – the last council meeting for some members – and thank you personally for your service to Nashville.
For me, that thanks must begin with your leader, Vice Mayor Howard Gentry. It is perfectly clear to anyone who sits in this chamber as an observer, or who watches these proceedings at home that the vice mayor has a tough, tough job. The Metro Council is big, the Metro code is thick, and the area served by Metropolitan government is huge.
But no matter how long the council meetings go on, and no matter how knotty the parliamentary process becomes, Howard Gentry always tries to be fair and just. He’s a man of great dignity and great compassion. I’m proud that he is my friend; the council and the city have been well served by his leadership.
As this council term ends, we all have much to celebrate. Last week was the first day of school in Nashville. It occurred to me as I walked through Gower Elementary school on that opening day that the third graders I greeted were born the same year that I and many of you took office. For virtually all of their lives, their world has been shaped by our decisions.
Because of the work we – this council and the previous council – did together, third graders will never have to sit in classrooms with leaky roofs or use libraries with empty shelves. We’ve built 23 new schools over the last eight years. We have better prepared our young students with Head Start programs and facilities.
Over the last eight years, you and I together have worked to give schools almost $446 million in capital funding. The schools operating budget has gone from $397 million to $597 million. A better investment in the future is not possible.
Those third graders also are now able to walk to school safely because of the 106 miles of sidewalks we’ve created. After school and in the summertime, when school is out, they have more Metro parks, community centers, spray grounds, 36 miles of new greenways, 79 miles of new bikeways, new nature centers, and they have more than 100 new playgrounds in their city.
The building that those children will know as the seat of their Metro government for the rest of their lives won’t be a dark, dysfunctional, uninviting place. It will be this building, which is as beautiful and historic as it is serviceable. Its parking lot has been enlarged and moved underground, replaced by a new environmentally friendly Public Square, with fountains, and historical markers and places to play.
Future buildings this government builds will also be ‘green’ because, through your leadership, we came together to adopt LEED standards, and it was the right thing to do.
Working together, you and I have increased the safety of those third graders. You know, it hasn’t gotten much attention in the media, but crime in Nashville has continued to drop steadily. Nashville has its lowest overall crime rate since 1989. Burglary is at its lowest point since 1972. The murder rate is 32% lower than this time last year. That low crime rate didn’t happen by accident. It happened because you and I together provided the Police Department with the equipment and the officers it needs to protect people who live in or who visit this city.
Just weeks ago, you passed and I signed a measure that freezes the property taxes of most senior citizens. Nashville was the first city in the state to grant that tax relief. Because of that measure, Nashville seniors won’t have to worry about escalating property taxes, and Nashville will be able to attract more seniors.
Working together, you and I have made this a better city for those third graders, and their siblings, and their parents and grandparents - and eventually for their children.
I know that not one of us could have done this alone. Of course, we’ve disagreed. Our priorities have sometimes differed. But Nashville voters didn’t elect us to come down here and agree on everything. They elected us – each one of us – to come together and to debate and put our own ideas on the table, represent our constituents, and reach consensus on the best course for Nashville. And in the end, we’ve tried to do what is right for the citizens of Nashville.
To those of you completing your terms here tonight, I am confident that you will find other ways to continue to serve this great city.
To those of you returning next term, you’ll come back as veterans. The new council members and the city will depend on you more than ever.
I know that your agenda is long tonight, so I thank you for your time. But most of all, I thank you for your commitment to this city. Because of our work together, people and businesses want to come to Nashville. Nashville is stronger, smarter, healthier, safer, and at the front of all American cities. You’ve given Nashville a better future. For that, this city – especially this mayor – will always be thankful.
