The Metro Council Rules, Confirmations and Public Elections Committee has approved four of the five nominees for two East Bank Development Authority positions.
Council is selecting two of the nine board members for the authority. Mayor Freddie O'Connell will also appoint five members. The mayor is working on his selections, but no announcements have been made. The speakers of the state Senate and House of Representatives, or someone else of their choosing, will serve as the final two to make up nine board members. The Nashville Banner first reported Lt. Gov. Randy McNally chose Jimmy Granbery, CEO of local real estate company Hill Realty Co., as his representative.
