Board moves regular meeting start time to 6 p.m.
Summary
The Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to amend the municipal code to change the regular meeting start time from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., citing staff scheduling and meeting-length concerns.
Brentwood — The Brentwood Board of Aldermen on Aug. 18, 2025, approved an ordinance amending article 3 of chapter 110 of the municipal code to change the start time for regular Board meetings from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The motion to perfect bill 65-69 passed 8-0.
Proponents said starting at 6 p.m. better matches staff schedules and reduces the length of staff workdays, since staff often waited around for a 7 p.m. start after a full workday. The change was presented by an alderman who said summer single-meeting months use a 6 p.m. start and that year-round consistency would help staff and attendees.
Outcome: Bill 65-69 was perfected and will become an ordinance following the unanimous roll-call vote. The board did not attach additional conditions or implementation requirements beyond the ordinance change.
Why it matters: The change sets a new standard time for regular meetings and is intended to ease staff scheduling and reduce late-night meetings. It affects public meeting notices and the schedule for city boards and members who plan to attend.
