Nashville is effectively the entire county by population. 690,000 of the 716,000 in the county live in Nashville city limits.

Not getting into the politics of the situation, but they did legitimately have a crazy large city council. 40 people?! Memphis, which is just barely smaller than Nashville, has only 13. For an out of state example, Chicago has almost 4x as many people as Nashville and has a 50 person City Council.
