The Brentwood City Commission on Nov. 24 unanimously approved a consent agenda that adopted several 2026 employee benefit and insurance contracts, finalized an amendment to the municipal code governing building‑permit fee calculations, and authorized a vehicle purchase for the Planning and Codes department.
