Message from the Mayor

Dear Vice-Mayor Shulman and Members of Council,

Pursuant to regulations of the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office, the attached Reports on Debt

Obligation must be submitted to the Metropolitan Council and presented at a meeting of that body

before filed with the Comptroller.

As previously approved by the Metropolitan Council, a new bond issuance for Metro’s Water and

Sewer Department became effective October 14, 2021. The Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds Series

2021A (Green Bonds) and Federally Taxable Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds Series

2021B (Green Bonds), for Council of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County,

is a commitment of $377,520,000 and $232,075,000, respectively. The proceeds of the Series 2021A

will be used for water and sewer system improvements and the 2021B Bonds will be used to achieve

debt service savings to partially refund Series 2013 and pay issuance cost.
