Consent agenda items approved unanimously included: Resolution 2025-63 (termination of an agreement with C and I Design Inc. for design services related to an indoor racket facility in Crockett Park), purchase approval for seven Lifepack 35 cardiac monitors, renewal of Vaim and O365 backup services, approval of the Board of Commissioners meeting schedule for calendar year 2026, and approval of the schedule for review of the proposed fiscal year 2027 operating budget and the FY27–FY31 capital improvement program. Vice Mayor Little moved to approve the consent agenda and Commissioner Pippen seconded; the motion passed with all commissioners voting aye.

On appointments, the commission conducted multiple rounds to fill vacancies:
- Building Construction Appeals: After an initial tie, the commission held a runoff and appointed Amir Amersadry (5–2 final vote) to the board. Votes were cast publicly by commissioners in the record.
- Park Board (three vacancies with staggered unexpired terms): For the term ending 04/30/2028 the commission selected Edward Stanworth after a runoff (final tally reported as 4 votes for Stanworth). For the unexpired term ending 04/30/2027 the commission appointed Chuck Czarnik (6 votes). For the unexpired term ending 04/30/2026 the commission appointed Robert Roth (4 votes).
- Environmental Advisory Board (three appointments): The commission appointed Heath Bush and Tanya Todd (each received 7 votes) and, after a tie-break round, Allison Huddleston (4 votes) to the board.
- Veterans Monument ad hoc committee: Charles Hawkins was appointed after a revote that produced the required four votes.

Several commissioners and the mayor publicly announced their individual ballot choices during the votes; multiple rounds were used when initial tallies resulted in ties.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Brentwood - City Commission Meeting Aug 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission unanimously approved a five-item consent agenda and filled several advisory-board and committee vacancies through a series of votes and runoffs.","taxTitle","Brentwood, Williamson County, Tennessee","taxId",62216,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6499836,"Brentwood Library revises meeting-room policy, plans office redesign and reports summer-reading gains",223,767000,990000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5559916-af3b3ce9710aeb247ac977ebb95803ab&start=767&end=990","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5559916-af3b3ce9710aeb247ac977ebb95803ab/thumbnail_767000.jpg","/articles/6499836/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-Library-revises-meeting-room-policy-plans-office-redesign-and-reports-summer-reading-gains","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6499836-30e995555124fc1060a1e0c4abeaf3ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442847&Signature=YGsAJsKrOLg9YWirHLFgrHRe0K95qIMXFWGz2ccxvnesQwaGvsMS58hMq4fgzygA4i24eHVUyN716M6RyQelR-ombATAqgToue5AIjK6UV9za0wtbBE028cwRX0fJknEStXs0RhHk5-ZLJHqJH68OgQAXj8ki198cmdosbegCAqjImb8lOpzuvz6KeHup9xXgywHXr455B65nYQjdp4MBUQ4kNDIxIOLbzx~kaLUrXn6DDlBaRsDMOIcn2whOBURp5X3f5j-4JHDAZeu4hKXNbLgmwgMgVBAzYgbUegkcZhTeBz-ePElpkXMT6jdNIdHnxlkZswIaB0LHqsln-uO7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioner Janet Donahue told the board the library's policy committee revised the meeting-room policy after an overflow event when one room remained closed under the prior policy. Under the revised approach, certain organizations — especially city-affiliated groups — may reserve both Meeting Rooms A and B if no overlapping library event exists; other requests will be handled case-by-case.

Donahue said the library director is reorganizing administrative offices to place staff who interact with patrons in front-office spaces and move administrative leadership toward the back of the building. She said the work will be coordinated by city facilities staff, the money for the work is in the library project budget and plans are approved.

Donahue also provided usage and program statistics: adults increased summer-reading minutes by about 76,000 minutes to 213,000 total minutes; teens logged about 58,000 minutes and held 39 teen programs in July with 874 attendees. The library had 60,530 items checked out in July, Donahue said.

The commissioner said the space-planning committee raised concerns about a disconnect between initial consultant visuals and the board's vision; the committee has returned clarified guidance to the consultant (Barge Group) and acknowledged the timeline may shift to improve the final design.

Donahue encouraged residents to consult the library website for detailed program listings.","The Brentwood library has revised its meeting-room policy to allow certain organizations to reserve both meeting rooms when no library event conflicts, plans an internal office redesign funded in the project's budget and reported increased adult summer-reading participation and circulation statistics.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6499841,"Brentwood: Ragsdale Road lane closure set; Old Smyrna Road public meeting scheduled; new finance director introduced",74,606000,680000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5559916-af3b3ce9710aeb247ac977ebb95803ab&start=606&end=680","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5559916-af3b3ce9710aeb247ac977ebb95803ab/thumbnail_606000.jpg","/articles/6499841/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-Ragsdale-Road-lane-closure-set-Old-Smyrna-Road-public-meeting-scheduled-new-finance-director-introduced","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6499841-536095a122a78affb2190aff24622dc5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442847&Signature=R3~r~Q9zV3~hAkGHF~UySDoj5aJnWqEWG5Qr~t4F3ehijCm5bK0l~bCnSVNJ0f-~7YKmt4GHm6sQLNLhZMMcU9fOCd3NBDWXqbePIaZlJoGo9E7-2hX1n3S613rRj-p9bo4Ss6VNw5QnwrhZAwp2Jmqq4ReimAHAkDlzbnCdJ4rCKl8hZ1b3VSTW51Gs4OsagZxwQ8Iymj8naLf3aahKhxCdOcmjMHi~NC8gV88ZD0wRX~ZSLGi1HidgvCgFhj1TfJ8ApWtD2aYCVYWCnY5-ymcJz-jUwLiOxvHt8EfkUENAPf0kS624Y3hwzDGQLWmwzRLDIztBuXTJTT5JSHMMPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The city manager updated the Brentwood Board of Commissioners on several public works and community events, including a temporary traffic change, an upcoming public meeting on roadway improvements and a countywide blood drive.

The manager said the contractor will perform final temporary widening along Ragsdale Road between the Arcadia subdivision and Bellroyal Road beginning tomorrow, Aug. 12, at 8 a.m. The work will require a full one-lane closure with flaggers and is expected to take about two days, the manager said. The contractor will also shift traffic in certain areas on Wednesday afternoon; motorists in the area should expect minor delays.

The manager reminded the commission the city will host a public meeting on improvements to Old Smyrna Road from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 18 in Meeting Room A at the John P. Holt Brentwood Library. Project consultants will present design options and study findings, then the public can visit smaller discussion tables to ask questions and provide input that staff will consider when choosing a final design.

On regional volunteer efforts, the manager announced the Williamson County Battle of the Badges blood drive on Aug. 20 at the John P. Holt Brentwood Library, conducted by the American Red Cross from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The annual drive pits law-enforcement and fire organizations against one another to collect units of blood and this year's drive will honor detention deputy Robert Andrew Ryan of the Williamson County Sheriff's Office, who died after an off-duty vehicle accident earlier this summer.

The manager closed by introducing Tony Travis as the city's designated finance director.","City manager briefed the commission on a temporary lane closure on Ragsdale Road starting Aug. 12, announced a public meeting on Old Smyrna Road improvements for Aug. 18, promoted the Battle of the Badges blood drive on Aug. 20, and introduced Tony Travis as designated finance director.",{"_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},6499844,"Brentwood swears in two new police officers",359,129000,488000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5559916-af3b3ce9710aeb247ac977ebb95803ab&start=129&end=488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5559916-af3b3ce9710aeb247ac977ebb95803ab/thumbnail_129000.jpg","/articles/6499844/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-swears-in-two-new-police-officers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6499844-f2a268d42d9f85fc7d963fd3a3378df1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442847&Signature=mSlc2Ukjt1QgsXYuCJW2qvvDh4ybvewFIoT~hCyawZv-AZxQsufJ0CYA2yUT91m26ZJegiKS3LzKxvMlTNA1xr9FSpLqOYAr3G9cCg6dd-un~Rm5Uq0NfJbjhKhneCLaUhoAZANHzu8EnBBrB6WBQ0Gr4Hgw4HfKyU678SzExxAggvbtlNuq6B-zh7lNPguqn2KaIUBH91AdIh-7~wUHtulKvFsahlZj7CalkH9eJzD0F~OxpFAMRfZLSTdMDXA~hoCcLSSPvBX4ct7uByEyJ6rvnlxrsh2s4GESxRRBNwhRrP-T3AtJsFpsUxz4iINABbQ8KgykNqZ~NC9Dw81-uQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Brentwood Board of Commissioners administered the oath of office to two new Brentwood Police Department officers, Riley Lassiter and Aaron Yoder, during its regular meeting.

Both officers were introduced by the police chief, who said the officers were hired together and will attend the department's transition academy in September. The chief noted both performed well during firearms training: “they both shot higher than I did,” he said.

Riley Lassiter introduced family members in the chamber and the chief told the commission Lassiter is originally from Eider, Alabama, holds an associate degree in science from Northeast Alabama Community College and previously served about two years with the Rainesville Police Department. The chief said Lassiter is scheduled to attend the transition academy in September.
