Brentwood commission approves library policy revisions, joins opioid agreement, awards maintenance contract and appoints new tree-board member
Summary
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.
The Brentwood City Commission approved a four-item consent agenda and filled one board vacancy at its meeting. 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.
