# 10/06/26 Metropolitan Council Committee: Rules, Confirmations and Public Elections

The Metropolitan Council Committee on Rules, Confirmations and Public Elections met on October 6, 2026. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or procurement awards were discussed. The committee approved a procedural amendment to Rule 21 concerning legislation that appropriates funds, separating the consideration of initial resolutions from capital spending plans (CSPs) without changing the rules for CSPs. The amendment passed 6–0. A resolution asking the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority to collaborate with the FAA was deferred for two meetings by a 5–0 vote; a late-filed youth online-safety initiative was rolled to a later meeting. The committee also considered board and commission appointments and confirmations, with mixed results on some nominees and several approvals recorded.
