The mayor reported the city received “the better part of a 100 people” at a public meeting about Old Smyrna Road and that responses were “north of 85%” in favor of the design approach the city intends to pursue. The mayor and commissioners said the project has been in development for years and emphasized that the current work represents phase 1 of a multi-phase program: “we are only doing part of the road because it’s phase 1 of a 2 phase project,” the mayor said.

Commissioner Travis and other commissioners said staff and consultants are collating public feedback and technical data and will present refined plans and cost details in future briefings. The mayor encouraged residents and commissioners to review background planning documents; staff member Charles Booth posted a PDF of the 2006 revision to the 2030 plan on the city website to provide historical context, and the mayor relayed a suggestion to read the 2006 document alongside later plans for better background information.

No new vote or funding authorization was taken at the meeting; commissioners indicated additional public meetings and engineering refinements will precede any construction authorization.

The city’s work on Old Smyrna Road remains a multi-year effort involving easements, design options, and phased budgeting. Officials asked the public to watch for future updates and presentations that will provide more detailed timelines and financial information.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Brentwood - City Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City leaders said the Old Smyrna Road project is moving forward after months of public engagement; commissioners described a strong public turnout and said design option A had broad support while reminding the public the work is phase 1 of a two-phase plan.","taxTitle","Brentwood, Williamson County, Tennessee","taxId",62216,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6467031,"Brentwood commission approves minutes, contract with paving company and bulk rock-salt purchase",0,885000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811748-48609c6709187331e46fca54f2235ab1&start=885&end=885","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811748-48609c6709187331e46fca54f2235ab1/thumbnail_885000.jpg","/articles/6467031/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-commission-approves-minutes-contract-with-paving-company-and-bulk-rock-salt-purchase","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467031-94cb133ae4e94aa630c4e5a659046ea1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158265&Signature=Xtrxq2Q7mCt6obOt4lk3RFK2GdoXfhTFBGh1C~hioddx8~4GqpFb40ycSwKPLL4Fh~ZQJJQxLzon7cp8VcHWP3M9gPfGLLi9Si-qBBvzgTY~9n1C~RuuwjTsY1sMiGv0SHy4WgMRBIm3Nx4HXpAADMESImOT0F8Tao3Skdsxn3OlzDy-4RlhpTQfaNbSyGN-~fXdUIBFturR3iUJKiVgZ8L6eut1iALMm~L6NfxSMPmGWmIdmX3J2cbHWWfilmNECaIaOAM0HqtwWxiu~rSWc3l9JBNVn9c0tq2adxACONHHxREd4NwrhJ4Yy2u2Q4FQaZw5e6m~34FkECkJhmb2-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Sept. 22 meeting the Brentwood City Commission approved several routine items on the consent agenda and moved to approve minutes from its Sept. 8, 2025 meeting.

Minutes approval: Commissioner Donahue moved to approve the minutes from Sept. 8, 2025; Commissioner Pippen seconded. Vice Mayor Little recorded an abstention. The commission chair stated the motion passed with Vice Mayor Little abstaining.

Consent agenda actions: The commission adopted Resolution 2025-72, authorizing an agreement with Sessions Paving Company for roadway and driveway patching repairs for the Water Services Department. The commission also approved a purchase of bulk rock salt for the Public Works Department. These consent items were read into the record and approved by single motion; no commissioner requested that either consent item be removed for separate discussion.

The meeting record shows no further debate on these items. The minutes and consent approvals were recorded as passed in the meeting’s verbal roll call.

The actions appear to be routine procurement and record-keeping measures; no additional budget details or contract amounts were provided on the record.","The commission approved minutes from Sept. 8, 2025 (with one abstention), adopted Resolution 2025-72 to authorize an agreement with Sessions Paving Company for roadway and driveway patching for the water services department, and approved the purchase of bulk rock salt for public works.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6467035,"Brentwood sergeant praised after multi-suspect arrests at Brentwood Place",297,1781000,2078000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811748-48609c6709187331e46fca54f2235ab1&start=1781&end=2078","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811748-48609c6709187331e46fca54f2235ab1/thumbnail_1781000.jpg","/articles/6467035/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-sergeant-praised-after-multi-suspect-arrests-at-Brentwood-Place","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467035-c229792676391cee3880b19d9a30fcc9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158265&Signature=BtJH~164LInfOtfmCfZTPcHVwNkm6RSeqYR15VVQhcQ351L4x96gsZf0uO06R8ZW1l~UefFBvx68UlqDYNMKG7ihssq1prGOh-IvsRKPKvGgqBQix0zOpTsZR4jzCd7yNLscVg2QfxOYVCte8aTbAVnChcOtF2DUxNzg3UyY3Y4E3G7cUl7zh8kV8m1sSAPieQU2KANxHxAANKSmcD7aG1OjA1pyC6972cndOFglaPrNP29BLwVF5UJswFcyv-tZN~dNcjqmTM0jDuy4q2aq-76QKcv0VVYJOx9LGTgAkuEZmcKagPXdViNgvIRfbyWzkkfXCN32pKxY-LIaKgsWpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners highlighted the Brentwood Police Department’s response to a shoplifting and stolen-vehicle incident at Brentwood Place Shopping Center during the Sept. 22 meeting, praising Sergeant Billy Townsend and other officers for apprehending two suspects.

Commissioner Travis introduced news coverage of the incident and complimented Townsend’s actions. A Channel 2 news summary noted law enforcement found a stolen vehicle and later detained a woman exiting a store with allegedly stolen merchandise; body camera video shows Townsend chasing the woman. The department then located a second suspect, and Townsend and other officers completed arrests.

Townsend said the arrests were team efforts and named the officers who assisted: Mason Lundgren, Connor Smith, Tanner Choate, Joseph Troy and Maggie McCord. “Because of the work that they did, it allowed me to get in position to find the second suspect,” Townsend said. He described that he lacked a second set of handcuffs during the second arrest and relied on nearby officers to complete the arrest.

Commissioners and the mayor praised the department’s use of technology and training, noting the role of license-plate-reader alerts and body-worn cameras that helped locate and document the incident. Townsend emphasized that many actions behind the scenes — training, equipment and teamwork — make such arrests possible.

No formal policy or budget decisions were taken in response to the recognition; commissioners used the remarks to acknowledge the patrol and investigative work of Brentwood officers.","Commissioners and police leaders recognized Sergeant Billy Townsend and other officers after a pair of arrests at Brentwood Place Shopping Center; Townsend credited teammates for the arrests and described his role in apprehending two suspects.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6467040,"Brentwood swears in three police officers; chief says training is under way",580,302000,882000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811748-48609c6709187331e46fca54f2235ab1&start=302&end=882","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811748-48609c6709187331e46fca54f2235ab1/thumbnail_302000.jpg","/articles/6467040/Brentwood/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Brentwood-swears-in-three-police-officers-chief-says-training-is-under-way","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467040-97caaf17b42216338f8cbcef1686f43b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158265&Signature=Lp7SMlhAsWmocJ4Nbas3nlTNJ0FobBhJY70lnf--nEcMsCNUPzCqyAbccbBBnlGdBerqT0gKhzQJf5cxqWyRABEEmAwqD5Yo4jfe4w~g6VbfCOkfEXWLtaPrVdJfMvGW4g4cqk3mYK02lNLx7T5oFj-eXdT7~CK0or2Xnkp0j3nEpp9KFF5HajSHB-dOolcfRu7L~80DMmUxx1PUbz2FUZ-My-Cxs3EzoNeNXWrL311SvURfNNnLaCjCwVk4IVGaj2LEPNKoBwu0wjYHs-u8wz4xrINGsC~CVmxXOg-5BKzEcK1iXmLLU06FvfDuwIa4Yn9KeUAsm0TdGyDxYNjnUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Commission for the City of Brentwood administered oaths of office to three police officers during its meeting on Sept. 22, 2025. Brentwood Police Chief Kevin Colvin introduced the officers and said they have begun or will begin field training.

Chief Colvin told commissioners the department is adding three veteran officers: Barry Wilson, who joined Brentwood on Sept. 2 and previously served with the Nashville Police Department; Megan Haas, who earlier worked nearly seven and a half years for Prescott Valley Police Department in Arizona and will attend the department’s transition academy because she is from out of state; and Josh McGuire, a Brentwood veteran who previously served 17 years with the department and returned from out of state. “We are very happy to have her,” Colvin said of Wilson, noting she is already in the field training program. He said Haas “has also started our field training program” and that McGuire will complete an abbreviated field training program.

Each officer repeated the oath of office before the commission. After McGuire’s oath, Colvin said, “Welcome back.” Barry Wilson, Megan Haas and Josh McGuire were presented to the commission and publicly welcomed by the mayor and commissioners.

The swearing-in follows the department’s recent recruiting and hiring efforts discussed earlier in the meeting. No formal motions or votes were required for the oath ceremonies.

The commission’s remarks about staffing were limited to recognition and welcome; no policy changes or budget items were proposed during this agenda item.

Looking ahead, the commission’s agenda included other public safety items and community reports that followed the oath ceremonies.","The Brentwood City Commission administered oaths to three police officers — Barry Wilson, Megan Haas and Josh McGuire — and Brentwood Police Chief Kevin Colvin (as identified in meeting discussion) said all three are in field training or a transition program.","actionData","errors"]
