Restrooms for Wendy Hill Park have been delivered, the playground was expected to be installed around Oct. 1, and staff said the park’s planned completion window is October, with a grand opening to be scheduled closer to completion.

Commissioners and staff confirmed the city will not install a paved trail connection into the Shenandoah area; the project will instead include a natural, mulched trail. A staff member told the commission that constructing a hard trail at the proposed location would have caused root disturbance likely to damage significant trees, and that the natural trail preserves the canopy and legacy trees.

Commissioners also addressed trail safety and the increasing presence of motorized personal vehicles (e-bikes, fast scooters and similar devices) on multiuse trails. City Manager Gage reminded residents of rules against motorized vehicles on trails and encouraged helmet use. Mayor Mary Andrews and other commissioners urged community education and voluntary compliance rather than immediate regulation; the record shows Chief Colvin and city staff plan to meet to review legal guidance and provide a primer on what Tennessee law permits and what local discretion exists.

Separately, City Manager Gage announced Public Safety Day — hosted by Fire & Rescue with police participation — will be Oct. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brentwood Place Shopping Center, 330 Franklin Road.

Holt Brentwood Library policy manual and authorized expenditures from the library’s Holt trust account at its meeting. The resolutions were approved as part of the consent agenda; the transcript does not specify dollar amounts for the trust expenditures.

Commissioners discussed ongoing renovation decisions in remarks outside the formal vote. Commissioner Dunn described three ceiling design concepts proposed for the library’s new teen center: an acrylic tile “false sky” option with backlighting, a stained-glass-style illuminated ceiling, and a base model. Dunn said higher-end options can include dimmer controls and a 24-hour cycle to simulate seasonal light changes, but noted the most advanced option “doubles the price of this ceiling.”

Dunn also reported other library updates: the library’s space-planning committee will meet Sept. 17 at 4:30 p.m., the library is pursuing new carpet for the children’s room but is having difficulty finding non-gray/beige samples, and the Tennessee regional library consortium (Buffalo River Regional Library) will host an all-day training for trustees at the Brentwood Library.

Financial support and fundraising also featured in the discussion. Commissioner Dunn said Friends of the Library donated $274,835 to the library between 2020 and 2024 and had already donated $257,330 in 2025. She explained the Friends have limited annual programming donations to $50,000 to permit larger capital gifts toward renovations.

What the record shows and does not show
The commission’s formal votes authorized Holt trust expenditures for library interior improvements and adopted policy manual revisions, but the meeting transcript does not list specific expenditure amounts or detailed procurement decisions. The transcript records discussion of design options and fundraising totals but does not show a final selection of ceiling or carpet materials; those design choices remain subject to further staff and board decisions.

Ending
Library staff and the library-space planning committee will continue design work; the commission’s approvals allow staff to proceed with Holt trust-funded interior improvements under the policy manual revisions passed on the consent agenda.","The commission adopted revisions to the John P.

The consent agenda — moved by Commissioner Donahue and seconded by Commissioner Pippen — carried on a voice vote; commissioners later completed a roll-call appointment for the Tree Board.

The consent agenda included: (1) Resolution 2025-67 adopting revisions to the John P. Holt Brentwood Library policy manual; (2) Resolution 2025-68 authorizing expenditures from the Holt trust account for interior improvements at the John P. Holt Brentwood Library; (3) Resolution 2025-69 authorizing the city to join the State of Tennessee and local governments in amending the Tennessee state subdivision opioid abatement agreement and approving related supplemental agreements; and (4) approval to purchase annual maintenance services for the city’s uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The motion to approve the consent agenda was moved by Commissioner Donahue and seconded by Commissioner Pippen; the chair called for ayes and the motion passed.

The commission also conducted a roll-call vote to fill a vacancy on the Tree Board. Commissioners Dunn, Garris, Donahue and Pippen voted to appoint Amy Thompson; Mayor Mary Andrews and Commissioner Travis voted for Christina Odom. The commission announced that Amy Thompson received four votes and is appointed to the Tree Board; Christina Odom was thanked for applying.

A public hearing listed on the agenda — for multiple annexation-related resolutions (including Resolution 2021-13 and others pertaining to properties described as the Galt property/Rosebrook parcels, the McAdams property, the Tile property, Scales/Scales Honeycut and the Ereco property at 8909 Sam Donald Road) — was opened and then closed with no speakers present, and no action on the annexations was taken at the meeting.

What the record shows and does not show
The meeting transcript records the resolutions and the Tree Board roll call and identifies movers and a second for the consent motion. The consent agenda described the subject of each resolution but did not include line-item amounts for the Holt trust expenditures or the UPS maintenance purchase. The transcript also does not record individual “no” votes on the consent motion. The annexation items were announced for public hearing; the commission closed that hearing after observing no members of the public were present to speak.

The commission’s formal actions recorded in the transcript are limited to the consent approvals and the Tree Board appointment; other items mentioned on the agenda (including the annexation matters) saw no vote or were continued for future action.

Ending
The meeting adjourned after routine business; commissioners announced future notices for a Park Board appointment and other agenda items to be scheduled.","At a regular meeting, the Brentwood City Commission approved four consent resolutions — including library policy revisions and joining an amended opioid abatement agreement — and appointed Amy Thompson to the Tree Board by a 4-2 roll call.","actionData","errors"]
