The Brentwood City Commission held a meeting on April 24, 2025, where key discussions centered around community development and governance. A highlight of the meeting was the swearing-in of Jason Gage as the new city manager, marking a significant transition for the city. Gage, who recently became a resident of Brentwood, is expected to begin his role promptly, with paperwork to be completed shortly after the meeting.

One of the primary agenda items was the second and final reading of a zoning amendment for the Foxman Hall subdivision. The commission addressed a mapping error that incorrectly labeled the property’s zoning. This correction is crucial for the development process and reflects the city’s commitment to ensuring accurate planning and community engagement. A recent community meeting regarding this zoning change saw participation from several residents, indicating a proactive approach to addressing public concerns.

Additionally, the commission discussed renewing an agreement with Grama for the 2025 audit, following challenges with previous auditors. The decision to engage Grama again, at a cost of $65,600, underscores the city’s focus on maintaining good governance and accountability in financial matters.

The meeting also included discussions about an amendment to a state agreement that supports the recruitment and retention of cadets for the local academy, highlighting the city’s ongoing commitment to public safety and community services.

As Brentwood moves forward with these initiatives, the city commission aims to enhance community engagement and ensure effective governance, reflecting the needs and interests of its residents.
