Staff described an amendment to a contract with Premise Health Employer Solutions LLC to continue a near‑site clinic as part of the employee wellness program. The vendor's rate rises 5 percent in 2025; staff said the partial‑year timing in 2025 (an 11‑month basis in the prior year vs. 12 months in 2026) makes the first full year look larger. Staff provided a total estimated annual cost for the program of about $266,865 and said the amendment also adds coverage for part‑time employees.

On IT and cybersecurity, staff outlined several renewals and their purpose and costs: Mimecast (email security and advanced features) at roughly $76,751; Pure Storage (networked storage and rapid restore capability) under the NASPO cooperative at approximately $236,000 for a three‑year term; ThreatLocker (application allowlist/control) at about $54,677; and Arctic Wolf (24/7 security monitoring and managed detection) at about $278,178.75. Staff explained Pure Storage maintains “air‑gapped” backups that require two staff calls and PIN codes to delete backups, a protection intended to prevent a ransomware actor from deleting backup copies. Staff said software and vendor purchases were procured through cooperative purchasing contracts where applicable.

Staff also described a routine second‑reading consideration of monthly water and sewer rates. They said the combined residential impact on monthly bills is in the low dollars per month (staff cited a range and noted the combined impact from 2026–2029). Staff said the city’s combined rate impact is in the middle of comparable communities. No final votes on these consent items were recorded in the briefing; the items were presented for consideration on an upcoming regular meeting consent agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Brentwood - City Commission Briefing - Jun 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff previewed consent‑agenda items including a 5% increase in the near‑site clinic contract, several IT/cybersecurity software renewals totaling several hundred thousand dollars, and a small combined water and sewer monthly rate impact for residents.","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},6536806,"Staff says racket‑facility pro forma understates long‑term capital costs; commission asks staff to study reallocating $5M",1502,3477000,4979000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677046-3ced24690d5b60926df2135546b66baa&start=3477&end=4979","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677046-3ced24690d5b60926df2135546b66baa/thumbnail_3477000.jpg","/articles/6536806/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Staff-says-racketfacility-pro-forma-understates-longterm-capital-costs-commission-asks-staff-to-study-reallocating-5M","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536806-c34d073318e146ebc39f1edfcefbb1b4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771005316&Signature=Ye14uvtg80gaNGAc-Tt57ZeGzP5sFIygJZ0hRCw9gsdsOy3p5fzvKwEqauPIw1x-~r~MxAq5z1cgdtZRMwN9KTUzxmUaAp1W-j18G8RT-mEPToHJq-CDqpYDlz74z3exAFmVqgc3F9u-sC8DClD1paKJ~hGXzLfBln6gVrcJtm6BXphFgJnx6deUF4GSGRjOPt4TYPfBDruTu7hp1mThw~BXNzz7fsTCl3n8vh3Spim6~zYv5CGa92qKxy0QPTSWnPx2SewgTFzGdBF5EdFgDgGyosWPg9ZD6oO7zN3xeMkY2FrOk53sbWksKW89fMUi6YRMyNv1DZ6Nc0sowLgfkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brentwood commissioners heard staff and consultants review a pro forma for a proposed racket (pickleball/tennis) facility and pressed for clearer accounting of long-term capital and replacement costs before committing further funds.

City staff and the Sports Facilities Advisory (SFA) consultant presented a model that showed positive operating cash flow (EBITDA) under certain assumptions, but commissioners and staff emphasized that EBITDA excludes depreciation, debt service and other capital costs that are essential to cover full life‑cycle expenses. Staff said that, under the pro forma assumptions, the facility might not provide funds to address major renewal and replacement needs until roughly years 8–12 and that unanticipated capital repairs could require occasional general‑fund subsidies.

The consultant’s materials presented a capital range for similar facilities and staff highlighted a $16.9 million to $20.4 million range in recent estimates; commissioners also noted a prior $5 million allocation in the city’s capital plan that had been set aside for a parks headquarters or related uses. Staff identified start‑up and pre‑opening expenses (the packet described a year‑before soft cost total of about $1,115,000 and other initial opening costs) that would be required regardless of operational model.

Parks Director Dave Unner and staff discussed operational models (city‑run enterprise fund versus contracted operator). Staff described tradeoffs: a privately managed facility may shift some start‑up risk but city taxpayers typically underwrite long‑term capital replacement whether the facility is city‑run or contracted. Commissioners asked about likely annual operating subsidies and recurring software and maintenance expenses; staff said many vendor software and maintenance fees are recurring costs.

After discussion, commissioners asked staff to study options for reallocating funds earmarked for the project and to present alternatives within the capital improvement planning process. That work will examine: (1) whether to continue planning for a regional tournament model versus a local/parks model; (2) long‑term funding for renewal and replacement; and (3) alternative uses of the $5 million currently shown in capital plans.","A consultant pro forma for a proposed regional racket facility shows positive near‑term EBITDA but does not include debt service or depreciation; commissioners expressed concern capital replacement and debt would require taxpayer subsidy and asked staff to study reallocating funds earmarked for the project.",{"_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},6536812,"Brentwood commission opts for appointment process, sets application timeline for vacant seat",1970,925000,2895000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677046-3ced24690d5b60926df2135546b66baa&start=925&end=2895","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677046-3ced24690d5b60926df2135546b66baa/thumbnail_925000.jpg","/articles/6536812/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-commission-opts-for-appointment-process-sets-application-timeline-for-vacant-seat","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536812-be2de6a99debb66114fe2abc87b96c5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771005316&Signature=HCUevOq4SG8DO8~3yK7CXz1-D3-TbLbJ8qfk0Q-11YHqKEc10acwp-qPzV0Z23NxBjqYrxw~aR6pD3kU5A1osA~dxemUwF74y7AhDH-txXE9BnQXbDxg4b9WVnnfejy27KRfxifAakemd4YSaiFMroPqJ1-08w6QPDxg0YafUFt~DLy~BPQc~CBLUrNYBUf5lHcStArUQfcqSbbJ2E7q3SkCNKY2kCI9T2NluVwfKRBcTbTiYeU0-FKyjtNVTtzSUioTxzfdKUpWQMumlryWi8XOPbCjq5CkuFTOfY3kahZOWEXZi95o4yngBkHtePgMzgn08-eBh5XTUdNs61-4ng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brentwood City Commissioners signaled consensus to fill a current commission vacancy by appointment rather than calling a special election and directed staff to publish an application and timeline for submissions.

The commission agreed that staff should release the application after the June 9 meeting, set a submission deadline on Friday, June 27, and place an appointment on the July 14 commission meeting agenda. Commissioners noted that state law requires an appointment by Aug. 11 or the vacancy must be filled by special election.

Commissioners and staff discussed changes to the standard board application to make it more appropriate for a commission appointment. Proposed additions include: a question asking why the applicant wishes to serve as a Brentwood City Commissioner; a description of relevant qualifications; confirmation the applicant is familiar with the city’s form of government and meeting schedule; and a clear statement of time commitments and expectations. The application will include an optional references field rather than a required letter of recommendation.

Staff said the city’s current board-management software can be used to post the revised application quickly once the commission finalizes wording. Commissioners agreed staff should circulate a draft application for individual review before it is posted.

Commissioners discussed whether to hold interviews and how to handle candidate contact consistent with open-meetings rules. They noted that two or more commissioners cannot meet privately with a candidate without creating a public meeting under Tennessee open-meetings law; commissioners may individually contact applicants, or the commission may hold a publicly noticed interview session. Commissioners also reviewed an earlier (2008) ballot/validation procedure used to pare candidate lists in rounds if needed; they did not adopt a single fixed procedure and left final validation rules to be discussed at an upcoming briefing.

On the mechanics of selecting an appointee, staff confirmed the ballots used at the appointment meeting are public under open-meetings requirements; the city’s prior procedure permitted successive rounds with candidates who received zero votes falling off the list until a candidate garnered a majority.

Staff said the intent is to balance speed with public transparency. Commissioners asked staff to return the final application text and a short timeline and validation procedure in time for the July appointment agenda if the commission follows the proposed schedule.","Commissioners signaled consensus to fill a recent vacancy by appointment rather than by special election, directing staff to publish an application, accept submissions and place an appointment on a July meeting agenda; commissioners noted an August statutory deadline that would trigger a special election if left unmet.",{"_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},6536798,"Commission reviews routine appropriation ordinance amendment; general fund transfers earmarked for capital and equipment",227,688000,915000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677046-3ced24690d5b60926df2135546b66baa&start=688&end=915","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677046-3ced24690d5b60926df2135546b66baa/thumbnail_688000.jpg","/articles/6536798/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Commission-reviews-routine-appropriation-ordinance-amendment-general-fund-transfers-earmarked-for-capital-and-equipment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536798-188f0f138c51871ef31e70cbf757080a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771005316&Signature=FeWnbcJjuko~BTQJY2rG0fttH9IeU3lMO6ZNP7Ok06nsPzSzB3e30HepfymO6IvOBelfuxzKDNDPNHLKTeN-0SZLlBl6UGKccffLc9HdDsgkmbj9~6VuMKYcxY-sSPPYB~DbX-Bw9~7kXZxm1Y3QvaCNgma~cQtajn4kd873DYvRdH-BGHXq1e8GPx251LP8lkTIdtOhPJz1WADN30k0NdRVhiqL~~2X93EnBjyxqYeS65V5QvorjW04vz-L-XB4fLfBFN3t8eXKlWqn~d0YHdSVLd~cworVNTW4LU1oiSDfLNC~1oqzLu-o48PBFHZtrviNZS7mnx5FgrCTPeL2UQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brentwood staff presented an ordinance amendment to last year’s appropriation ordinance that reallocates an anticipated general‑fund balance into capital‑related funds and adjusts several line items to comply with state reporting requirements.

Staff explained the amendment has two main purposes: (1) to move expected year‑end general‑fund balances into the capital projects fund, equipment replacement fund and facilities maintenance fund as part of a conservative budgeting strategy; and (2) to satisfy state reporting rules that ask for greater specificity on uses within each fund. Staff said the total general‑fund appropriation being transferred is about $12,191,560; the transfer to the equipment replacement fund is roughly $1.7 million and a large transfer to the facilities maintenance fund is just under $800,000. The packet provided an itemized list of adjustments required by state reporting.

Commissioners asked staff to walk through specific items. Finance staff said there were 7 retirees and 6 terminated employees this year (13 total) whose accrued pay contributed to adjustments. Commissioners also asked about a line described as an “additional state paid supplement” for public safety training; staff explained the supplement is the state's per‑firefighter training payment (described in the packet as about $800 per qualifying firefighter) that the city pays out and then recovers from the state once eligibility is confirmed.

Staff characterized the amendment as largely housekeeping and said they did not see any unusual items; commissioners asked for no further changes at the briefing and indicated the matter would return for formal action on the regular meeting agenda.","Staff presented a routine amendment to last year’s appropriation ordinance that transfers an estimated general‑fund balance into capital and equipment replacement funds; commissioners reviewed line‑item adjustments and asked staff questions about specific entries including state training supplements and retiree accruals.","actionData","errors"]
