Commissioner Dunn reported that members of the historic board worked with Ravenwood High School students during \"Senior Service Day\" to clean about 20 to 25 gravestones at Crockett Gleaves Cemetery near Nashville Golf and Country Club. Dunn praised the students for learning appropriate cleaning methods from historic-board volunteers.

Nut graf: Commissioners say the city has multiple large events and anniversaries in coming months, and one commissioner asked colleagues to consider forming a special events board composed of members with relevant skills and contacts to help plan and manage significant civic celebrations.

Dunn said she, Charles Booth and Keisha Gooding met to discuss the 200th anniversary of Ravenwood and concluded that a board with specific event-planning skills could improve project coordination and reduce workload on a small group of volunteers. She said any proposal would be developed and presented at a future informational meeting.

Ending: Dunn asked colleagues to think about the proposal and indicated she would ask Charles Booth to draft an initial outline for discussion at the next informational meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Brentwood - City Commission Meeting - Mar 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners heard that Ravenwood High students helped clean markers at Crockett Gleaves Cemetery, and a commissioner proposed creating a special events board to assist with large community celebrations such as the city's 200th anniversary.","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},6625817,"Commission asks staff to assess neighborhood streets for possible 25 mph limit",55,1103000,1158000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2756370-ef7b2acbb7c6e28258d41b16bcec9733&start=1103&end=1158","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2756370-ef7b2acbb7c6e28258d41b16bcec9733/thumbnail_1103000.jpg","/articles/6625817/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Commission-asks-staff-to-assess-neighborhood-streets-for-possible-25-mph-limit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625817-3a7051547b6b578de520d5413ed4ac24/orig.mp4?Expires=1771210711&Signature=HtupSF1xR5k60seGVLwW1dsmpNjuGh-1Tpqt-iK7czWBMwNhA6I7YVTSJB1nOs5ji1Cpqp06SGY3j96Ks4EAbxwDhe16oeyKdHKDIYwqKw0f~k25kfNrN-0wD9P2FZqOaPcapuubjeHU5bS0f6T9K5dmjoe~0Qe79KTTyVqnDQvUlaROzUtuEkiHE7Phy6fwu7TvA8y~kwjFAVb-~k0bjHcoK2goz8psOU7I~JL3uesjgpmg7h5lxzzSZ9SxZOcgQ-PhQwHqRrySozP60acEb6-tqvlv9LXPrifgHplROUfYb~~6o1BA8ltxhMazpLeJstIcYw-xYWmwJfbQbZ0XKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioner Marianne McMillan renewed discussion of a possible citywide approach to reducing speed limits on neighborhood streets, asking staff to identify which streets are posted at 30 mph and to coordinate with Public Works and the Police Department on next steps.

Nut graf: The proposal is a first step toward a \"holistic approach\" to speed management rather than immediate blanket sign changes; staff was asked to assess existing speed limits and report back.

McMillan said the commission continues to receive complaints about speeding and distracted driving on neighborhood streets and described a proposal to look at reducing posted limits from 30 to 25 mph on targeted neighborhood streets. She said a reduction in posted speed alone \"will not curtail all speeding,\" but that it could be part of a broader program including enforcement and engineering measures.

As an initial action, staff will assess which neighborhood streets are currently posted at 30 mph so the commission and staff can coordinate on possible next steps, including discussions with Public Works and the Police Department.

Ending: No formal ordinance was introduced; the meeting recorded direction for staff to inventory current speed-posting and return with recommendations and data for further consideration.","Commissioner McMillan proposed assessing which neighborhood streets are currently posted at 30 mph, with staff asked to work with Public Works and Police to determine next steps for potentially lowering limits to 25 mph in some areas.",{"_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},6625821,"Commission approves consent agenda; minutes approved with two abstentions",90,2438000,2528000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2756370-ef7b2acbb7c6e28258d41b16bcec9733&start=2438&end=2528","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2756370-ef7b2acbb7c6e28258d41b16bcec9733/thumbnail_2438000.jpg","/articles/6625821/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Commission-approves-consent-agenda-minutes-approved-with-two-abstentions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625821-e7e4dfaea9eb4f5112e9e973cf40305c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771210711&Signature=gUsQVljsXFHD25ibSqkAojLstvk~Jdbz6gvmG8Q69YrFx1nKv73M2lelHEEvEATRFxRdXCsjiEXgjkUHE4x5gWUaapIcHhrpH1PjuQ2C3d5ulpuOcfpLEU9xCotCBC8t6sBGJnGjuWK2QgazdG6pRXiUKRoS6lixxKUE4b0DxhdRQaL7Hcml8qVjsIE6~Ak2mo3OeQP6BXLvAWdhrVvzz1bcycnRNtfnFcm0m402O3Pl~X8UijDQDTffk8y~xokWALEPUDIrkQ7QQgNR5zREASlLHLgIZ2bfO4dUZoWfOxMDYWKvCx0cX-gepspJx9yJtzzfOG18tRMcjJ1oI~EvNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Brentwood Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda and accepted a set of city resolutions during its March 24, 2025 meeting. The commission also approved correction or approval of minutes from the March 10 meeting with abstentions recorded.

Nut graf: Multiple routine items were adopted as a block by unanimous voice vote; a separate vote on approval of the March 10 minutes resulted in five votes in favor and two abstentions.

On the consent agenda, the commission adopted the following resolutions as read on the record (no separate discussion was requested):

- Resolution 2025-5202: Authorizing an amendment with R. J. Young Company for consolidated copier services.

Commissioner McMillan, the commission's library representative, told the board the library will begin a renovation of the Friends Gathering Room in the next two to three weeks, with intermittent closures expected over about six weeks as materials become available. She said improvements will include paint, new cabinets and flooring extensions into the room, relocation of shelving for the Art Lending Library, and space for games, puzzles and book-club materials.

Nut graf: The library changes are funded using interest from the John P. Holt endowment rather than the principal, and officials said the work is intended to create a flexible gathering space for patrons.

McMillan said funds for the work will come from interest generated by the John P. Holt donation and that the library will not spend the endowment principal. She also said a space-planning committee is meeting regularly to work on longer-term projects, including redesign of the teen space funded from the same interest.

The library will host an American Red Cross blood drive on April 1, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; donors are asked to register on the Red Cross site using sponsor code \"City of Brentwood.\" On April 1 Preserve Brentwood will host a candidate debate at 6 p.m., and McMillan also noted a bipartisan, nonpartisan debate hosted by the League of Women Voters and a mountain biking group scheduled for April 2 at 6 p.m.

McMillan said the library will hold a city-sponsored Easter egg hunt on April 19 at 1 p.m., with the hunt beginning promptly at 1:30 p.m. and age-separated fields for safety. She asked residents to bring their own cameras and baskets.

Ending: The library board intends to proceed with the short-term remodel using endowment interest; residents can register for the blood drive on the Red Cross site and attend candidate forums and community events at the library in early April.","Commissioners heard library board updates including a multi-week remodel of the Friends Gathering Room funded from the John P.

The proclamation was read by Mayor Mark Worman, who said, \"I, Mark Worman, do join the board of commissioners to proclaim 03/29/2025 as Arbor Day in the city of Brentwood,\" and urged citizens to \"celebrate and support the efforts to protect our trees and woodlands.\" The board took no separate vote on the proclamation.

Nut graf: The event, organized by the Brentwood Tree Board, will distribute seedlings to schools and residents and includes community activities intended to promote urban canopy and civic participation.

Tree board chair Lynn Tucker told the commission the annual Arbor Day celebration will run Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Brentwood Library and will include free trees, ice cream and hot dogs. Tucker introduced other tree board members attending: Angela Beaton, Penny Lukenhoff, Patty Schultz and Bill Krause. Tucker said volunteers bagged roughly 2,000 saplings that will be distributed to schools and residents and that local volunteers including Ravenwood High School JROTC and other student groups assisted with preparations.

Resident Jack Fletcher, speaking during public comments, noted the city established a tree board when it applied for recognition in a national volunteer program years ago and praised the board's ongoing work. Multiple commissioners thanked the tree board and described the event as part of Brentwood's long-running tree-city activities.

The mayor said the city will re-read the proclamation at the Saturday event and encouraged resident participation.

Ending: The tree board will host the event Saturday at the Brentwood Library; staff and volunteers will distribute seedlings to schools and the public and continue outreach about tree protection.","The Brentwood Board of Commissioners proclaimed March 29, 2025, as Arbor Day and heard the tree board describe plans to distribute about 2,000 saplings at an event Saturday at the Brentwood Library.","actionData","errors"]
