Budget transparency
Clear, plain-language budget reporting so Council and residents can track priorities, spending, and outcomes without guesswork.
Vision
Practical priorities for Nashville
These ideas are realistic and local — focused on steady improvement, not campaign slogans. Language stays practical because city management is about execution.
Infrastructure maintenance
A practical maintenance plan for streets, facilities, and city assets — prevent small problems from becoming expensive emergencies.
Grant pursuit
Actively identify and pursue state and federal grants that fit Nashville’s needs, with accountability for how award dollars are used.
Customer service improvements
Make City Hall easier to deal with: clearer processes, timely responses, and a culture of respectful service for residents and businesses.
Economic development support
Support local business growth and downtown vitality by coordinating permitting, infrastructure readiness, and partnership with community stakeholders.
Public safety coordination
Strong administrative support for public safety partners — clear communication, sound budgeting, and operational follow-through.
Help move these priorities forward
Ask the Mayor and Council to appoint Cooper Wood as City Manager so this agenda can be put into practice.
