Summary
The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize an employment agreement with Jason Gage; city attorney said Gage is expected to start April 28 after a multi-stage selection process that included staff participation.
The Brentwood Board of Commissioners on March 10 unanimously approved a resolution authorizing an employment agreement with Jason Gage to serve as the city—s next city manager. The board adopted the measure after a multi-day candidate evaluation process and staff participation in interviews.
The resolution formalizes the board—s unanimous recommendation following candidate interviews conducted the week of Feb. 26 and a subsequent negotiation. City Attorney Kristin Corn told the commission that "he should start April 28." The board voted aye on the resolution with no abstentions or opposition.
Mayor Gorman and multiple commissioners described the most recent search as an iteration of an earlier process that did not produce a mutually agreeable candidate. Commissioners said staff members observed candidates, provided feedback and were aligned with the commissioners— choice. City Attorney Corn summarized the search and the unanimous board recommendation.
The resolution was introduced as "resolution 2025-23, A resolution authorizing an employment agreement with Jason A. Gage for the position of city manager." The measure was moved and seconded on the floor and adopted by voice vote. The agreement specifies a start date of April 28 as provided by the city attorney on the record.
With the approval, the board concluded a process that included multiple candidate presentations and staff review days. No additional contract terms beyond the start date were read into the record during the March 10 meeting.
