Commission hears routine consent items including grant participation, SCADA change order and surplus-asset plan
Brentwood commissioners reviewed several consent agenda items: participation in a small driver-safety grant, a change order to expand SCADA monitoring to additional city generators, acceptance of a utility easement needed for a private office project, authorization of a request-for-proposals method for a historic-site paving project, a plan to sell and donate surplus property, and an appointment to the park board to fill a vacancy.

City staff described a $5,000 city contribution to secure a matching driver-safety grant (total program value $10,000) to fund driver-safety training for city staff who drive regularly. The item was presented as a routine, low-dollar safety investment.

A larger item described a change order and agreement with Prime Controls to expand supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) monitoring to generators at the police station, fire stations, the library and a 911 tower site. Staff said the change order would be “just under $300,000” with a contingency of roughly $29,000 to cover undefined items; the change would add remote monitoring of fuel levels and operating status to reduce in-person checks and improve reliability.

Staff also presented a resolution to accept a utility easement from Wilson Bank and Trust for a public sanitary sewer connection related to the Baron Office Building development, and an authorization to use a competitive sealed-proposal process (rather than a straight low-bid process) for paving work at Cool Springs House where aggregate driveway conditions and a required tent pad make contractor experience and methods a relevant evaluation factor.

On surplus-property disposal, staff said the city can no longer use a Williamson County facility used in past joint auctions and recommended selling vehicles (including several parks trucks, multiple police vehicles) and electronics via the online auction site GovDeals and donating low-value items such as office furniture to Goodwill or similar nonprofits. Staff also noted a large inventory of IT equipment that had been replaced.

The final item listed on the consent agenda was the appointment of a park-board member to fill the remainder of Ryan White’s term following his resignation; staff said the appointee would serve the rest of the term.

The items were presented as consent agenda matters; the meeting record supplied discussion and clarifying questions but did not record formal motion language, mover/second names, or vote tallies in the transcript provided.
