The group said it funds library programming and capital enhancements, reports more than 500 members, and contributes thousands of volunteer hours.

Tricia Allison, president of Friends of the Brentwood Library, told the commission Friends has donated “approximately 1,600,000 to the library over our 48 year history” and presented $50,000 earmarked for programming. She outlined several other near-term contributions, including roughly $15,000 for a Charlie cart cooking station, $25,100 for an amphitheater enhancement via Leadership Brentwood, nearly $12,000 for chairs for the Vance Little table, and a one-time $7,000 check for staff development.

At the request of library representatives, the commission moved a consent item to new business (Resolution 2025-09) and then approved use of $80,000 from the John P. Holt trust account for interior improvements to the Friends Gathering Room. Assistant City Manager Jay Evans summarized the request, noting the funds will be applied toward new flooring, paint and furniture to refresh the room and to relocate the art lending library into the space.

Commissioners thanked Friends for volunteer time and donations. Commissioner McMillan noted the funds are earmarked for library improvements and that the Friends group has a record of sustained support.

Outcome: Resolution 2025-09 authorizing $80,000 in Holt trust funds for library interior improvements — approved unanimously.","Friends of the Brentwood Library presented $50,000 for programming and additional project donations; the commission approved Resolution 2025-09 to authorize $80,000 from the John P.

Bednar reflected on the longevity of city leadership and the staff he worked with: “Brentwood is a very unique and wonderful community,” he said, and described his tenure as an honor that allowed him to work with multiple commissions over two decades.

The commission unanimously approved Resolution 2025-11 appointing Assistant City Manager Jay Evans as interim city manager effective Feb. 1. The resolution, as read at the meeting, provides Evans a 15% stipend above his base salary while he serves as interim and states he may step down with 15 days’ notice; if he remains in the role until a permanent successor is appointed, he would return to assistant city manager under the personnel rules.

When asked if he would accept the interim role, Jay Evans replied, “It absolutely is, sir,” and the motion to appoint him carried without opposition.

Commissioners used Bednar’s final report time to praise several capital improvements and long-term projects completed during his tenure, including park and infrastructure projects and the city’s low turnover in the city-manager office.

Outcome: Resolution 2025-11 to appoint Jay Evans as interim city manager — approved unanimously.","City Manager Kirk Bednar, after about 24½ years of service, announced his retirement; the Board appointed Assistant City Manager Jay Evans as interim city manager effective Feb. 1 with a 15% stipend, and the appointment passed unanimously.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6684335,"Commission denies sewer-extension request for 1202 Beach Hill Road; commissioners cite policy and capacity concerns",701,5751000,6452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2156184-b8cc23391d8ca30e31bdb524bd523b3c&start=5751&end=6452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2156184-b8cc23391d8ca30e31bdb524bd523b3c/thumbnail_5751000.jpg","/articles/6684335/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Commission-denies-sewer-extension-request-for-1202-Beach-Hill-Road-commissioners-cite-policy-and-capacity-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684335-672b652397e789cfedc5277fd03255c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187540&Signature=D7I9ur9o7hxoWISRl1pZuc69IC3ZbWX-ziGd~UMA-K-C9Kgd1hDYHO~bFz9K19jwmcrT1BQvvuUBjsL8Tyul4s3KydMEC14EFwC4k4yKoQdW2N3nthBMaedctnZmIbmbkjEthIqfrnydkLhGCnmt0S~ouYzi7USbkz2mJRezhzrp3Wa9jqjoiid4AQ9Rj~j3sXmjsIIaie5JoqDKvAnFr-Ic2~kBOpIN3~hfFUuO~8osWoGnMHaKGsVbp4hc8NFCDs3jFvQ0MYQJwzwa8cMHVNcxJ4~HbYsgX~XjEbFQfkLhhcFNRei5bGhWJ7qD~0xM47EgWYMLobw~775kd-LXGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Commissioners on Jan. 27 voted to deny a request to extend city sewer service to 1202 Beach Hill Road. The motion to approve the extension failed and the resolution was denied unanimously.

The homeowner, Davy (David) Hackett, told the commission he purchased the lot to care for his father-in‑law, diagnosed with ALS, and requested an exception so the lot could be connected to sewer to expedite construction of a home nearby. “My father in law's ALS diagnosis is terminal,” Hackett said during public comment, explaining that the family’s ability to build quickly depended on sewer availability.

City staff recommended denial. Staff explained the property is outside the city’s urban growth boundary and outside the city’s modeled sewer drainage basins; extending service would therefore be an exception to longstanding city policy. Staff also warned that extending sewer to that location could open requests from other nearby properties and affect capacity planning.

Commissioners said they were sympathetic to the family’s circumstances but agreed the city must follow its policies and plan for sewer capacity. Commissioner Little, Vice Mayor Travis and others noted the city has built temporary holding capacity in recent years and is managing constrained sewer resources.

The motion to approve the extension was made by Commissioner Dunn and seconded by Vice Mayor Travis. In the roll-call vocal vote commissioners recorded no ayes and the motion failed (tally: 0 yes, 7 no). No abstentions were recorded.

Staff and the petitioner discussed alternatives: staff noted the petitioner may pursue additional soil testing or other county permitting options for an on‑site septic system; the door remains open for the petitioner to return with new engineering data.

Outcome: Resolution 2025-12 to approve an extension of sewer service to 1202 Beach Hill Road — denied (unanimous).","The Brentwood Board of Commissioners denied a request to extend city sewer to 1202 Beach Hill Road, citing the property’s location outside the city’s urban growth boundary and concerns about capacity and precedent; petitioner said family medical urgency motivated the request.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6684337,"Brentwood debate over proposed indoor racket facility grows as residents push for referendum",765,3259000,4024000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2156184-b8cc23391d8ca30e31bdb524bd523b3c&start=3259&end=4024","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2156184-b8cc23391d8ca30e31bdb524bd523b3c/thumbnail_3259000.jpg","/articles/6684337/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-debate-over-proposed-indoor-racket-facility-grows-as-residents-push-for-referendum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684337-df7596245d0a0f48f4a36a3e0f826100/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187540&Signature=K1UMhBU~yugsusaGmOZu~388X5LeTdTCKXQx0C6sEHcet0CKcKRsIZRSyIBA69Q7IZvE~TZOZpJuYDeve3kgkqAh24d-4-6giXuOq7bwqQY43uZ1cs-eryKdRCz1Ton4LvwNeWY2lEIDgyefkE7b9PgCZdgkP99Ze~AaHNLtADQU-cuK1hp8xj2Tx5T5AAkMQpQq8qRtuTZRjsEcnYsOmDh1k8bEX1VFhf35FtF9d5nKiIR18onG0ACnw40DpSoehZ3WyDEdgTYyuvoqA8z8yETBTTem~g2IeRzm7FnH0zPzgVgRUszr-Jwxwc6oIo9JvFtTRG0ZiQxzGaOO2xldCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents pressed the Board of Commissioners on Jan. 27 to let voters decide whether the city should finance a proposed indoor racket facility, saying a petition with about 1,500 signatures shows widespread public interest.

The push for a referendum has become the meeting’s most contested civic issue. Devin McClendon, who said he has been circulating a nonbinding petition, told the commission, “In 2 weeks we've had more than 1500 people sign this petition” asking that the commission place a referendum on the ballot. Several other residents echoed that request during public comment.

Commissioners described a split on whether to put the question before voters now. Commissioner Spears summarized the staff-led timeline and cautioned against rushing: “We don't rush projects in Brentwood. We would not want to start doing that now.” Spears and other commissioners said staff and outside consultants have been working on the project for years and that final engineering and cost estimates are expected in May or June.

Spears and Commissioner McMillan emphasized that the city recruited a national sports facility management company to advise on market demand and operations. City staff told the commission that, if hired, the management company would need about eight weeks to produce a market-feasibility study and a pro forma. Commissioner McMillan said that company’s work could answer “many of the questions the residents of Brentwood have been asking.”

Other commissioners, including Commissioner Little and Commissioner Dunn, said they support letting voters decide on large, nonessential projects and urged that the commission add a referendum resolution to the agenda. Vice Mayor Travis urged more public outreach and more complete financial data before asking citizens to vote, saying a referendum without final design, costs and an independent pro forma would be “premature and inappropriate.”

Commissioners and staff outlined where the project stands administratively: conceptual plans are being converted into buildable designs, an RFP for facility managers was issued in October, and staff expects full design plans back in late spring. Commissioners noted that the city’s six-year Capital Improvements Program currently includes a placeholder that could be used for parks-related projects but that nothing has been voted on to issue bonds for this facility.

The commission did not vote on a referendum at the Jan. 27 meeting. Several commissioners asked staff to continue gathering the final design and the outside manager’s pro forma and to present that material before any vote to place a bond referendum on an election ballot.

What’s next: staff will complete the design and consultant studies expected in May or June, after which commissioners said they will revisit whether to place a bond referendum before voters.","Residents and several commissioners urged a public referendum on a proposed indoor racket facility after a petition topped 1,500 signatures; commissioners said they will wait for final design plans and a management company feasibility study before deciding whether to place a bond referendum on the ballot.","actionData","errors"]
