Nashville council members will consider two pieces of legislation for final approval Sept. 15 that would broaden enforcement ability in certain Metro departments that already have permitting power, and another that would extend citation authority to any city employee.

Allowing the mayor to tap other employees to serve as the "eyes and ears" across the city will allow Metro to more effectively enforce health orders as more businesses open back up, said Mike Jameson, Cooper's senior legislative affairs director.
