I'M EXTREMELY HONORED TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AND TO HAVE BEEN SELECTED AMONG SO MANY DEDICATED APPLICANTS WHO TRAVELED HERE FROM FAR AND WIDE.
AND I'M EXTRAORDINARILY HUMBLE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY.
ALTHOUGH I'M NEW, I'VE BEEN RECEIVED WITH EXTREMELY WELCOME ARMS AND WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR A YOUNG MAN WHO HAS LITTLE TO GIVE.

SO, NOT QUITE TO THE DEGREE THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LATELY, BUT ONE OF THE HONORS THAT WE HAVE IS PROMOTING OUR FOLKS INTO POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, CALEB HAS SICK KIDS, SO HIS WIFE IS HOME WITH THEM AND COULDN'T BE HERE.
BUT, UH, NONETHELESS, WE'RE GONNA CELEBRATE HIM TONIGHT.
CALEB JOINED BRENTWOOD FIRE AND RESCUE IN 2017 AND MADE ENGINEER IN 2021.
HE WAS THEN PROMOTED TO LIEUTENANT IN DECEMBER TO FILL THE VACANCY LEFT BY THE RETIREMENT OF MIKE MCCUTCHEN.
LIEUTENANT LOVETT HAS PROVEN TO BE AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE AND INVOLVED TEAM MEMBER PARTICIPATING IN VARIOUS PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.
UH, IN ADDITION TO HIS CRITICAL CARE PARAMEDIC LICENSURE, CALEB IS THE CO-MANAGER OF OUR DRONE PROGRAM, AN INSTRUCTOR FOR OUR UPCOMING ADVANCED EMT CLASS, AND HAS BEGUN SERVING AS LIAISON FOR THE DEPARTMENT ON TECHNOLOGY AND CAD RELATED PROJECTS.
UH, THIS IS, UH, LIEUTENANT JASON SYKES, AND I'M GONNA HAVE HIM INTRODUCE HIS FAMILY.
SO THIS IS MY WIFE CHELSEA, AND OUR NEWEST EDITION CAMERA.
JASON AND I ARE BOTH JEALOUS OF HER HAIR.
AND HIS WIFE'S A MICHIGAN GIRL, SO SHE CAN'T BE ALL BAD.
SHE WE GOT A MICHIGAN ONE SECOND MAN.
SO YOU'VE GIVEN US THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO HAVE ACHIEVED, UH, INTERNATIONAL CREDENTIALING AS OFFICERS AND ABOVE.
UM, JUST A BRIEF REMINDER, 'CAUSE IT'S BEEN A WHILE, UM, OUR CREDENTIAL OFFICERS GO THROUGH A PROCESS SIMILAR TO WHAT OUR ORGANIZATION DOES FOR INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION.
UM, THEY HAVE TO MEET ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
THEY HAVE TO COMPLETE NUMEROUS PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.
UM, THEY HAVE TO, IT MEASURES THE HOLISTIC OFFICER BEYOND THEIR TRAINING AND EDUCATION, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, UH, ANY RECOGNITION THEY'VE RECEIVED AND SO FORTH.
IT, IT IS SO COMPLEX THAT WE GIVE OUR PROMOTED OFFICERS THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS.
AND, UH, JASON HAS NOW DONE THAT.
15 OF OUR OFFICERS FROM MYSELF DOWN TO OUR, UM, MOST JUNIOR LIEUTENANT, UM, HAVE ACHIEVED INTERNATIONAL C CREDENTIALING, WHICH IS 70% OF THE DEPARTMENT BY FAR, THE LARGEST NUMBER IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE.
AND, UH, I'M VERY, VERY PROUD OF THAT.
AS FAR AS LIEUTENANT SYKES, HE'S BEEN WITH BRENTWOOD FIRE SINCE 2011 AND WAS PROMOTED TO LIEUTENANT IN 2019.
HE'S CURRENTLY THE HOUSE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF STATION FOUR, THE SAFETY CENTER EAST.
IN ADDITION TO HIS DUTIES AS COMPANY OFFICER, HE'S ALSO A LICENSED CRITICAL CARE PARAMEDIC AND IS SCHEDULED TO SERVE AS AN INSTRUCTOR FOR OUR UPCOMING ADVANCED EMT CLASS, WHICH IS THE FIRST IN-HOUSE ADVANCED EMT CLASS WE'VE EVER HELD.
HE HAS TAKEN AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE DEPARTMENT'S FITNESS INITIATIVES AND CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE MANAGER OF OUR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS PROGRAM, INCLUDING TESTING AND MAINTENANCE OF OUR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND BREATHING AIR FILL STATIONS.
SO I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE HIM AND CONGRATULATE LIEUTENANT JASON SYKES.
[00:15:02]
THANKS.ALRIGHT, WE WILL, UH, WE'LL GIVE THE, UH, UM, THE, UH, THE ROOM.
JUST A SECOND, UH, TO CLEAR EVERYBODY'S LEAVING AFTER, UH, THE FUN STUFF.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY AS LONG AS YOU WANT, BUT, UM, NO.
[2. Approval or Correction of Minutes]
RIGHT.NEXT ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE THE APPROVAL OR CORRECTION OF THE MINUTES FROM THE FEBRUARY 24TH, 2025 MEETING.
DO I HEAR A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE? I'LL SECOND.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
NEXT, ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS.
DID WE HAVE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE SIGN UP TONIGHT.
UM, HOWEVER, UH, INDIVIDUALS MAY COMMENT ON ANY ITEM, UH, INCLUDED IN THE CONSENT OR REGULAR AGENDA OR ANY OTHER MATTERS REGARDING THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS THIS EVENING? ALRIGHT, WE WILL CLOSE COMMENTS, UH, FROM CITIZENS AND WE
[ Report from City Manager Report from the City Attorney Reports and comments by Commissioners and Mayor]
WILL MOVE ON TO A REPORT FROM OUR INTERIM CITY MANAGER.THIS BEING SPRING BREAK FOR WILLIAMSON COUNTY SCHOOLS, WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TIME.
IF THERE ARE ROAD CLOSURES THAT WE NEED TO DO, WE TRY AND SCHEDULE IT FOR WHEN THE KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL.
SO RAGSDALE ROAD WILL BE CLOSED THIS WEEK AS WELL AS HALF OF NEXT WEEK TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TIME.
SO WE ASK THAT RESIDENTS, UM, BEAR WITH US.
WE WILL, UH, WE WILL HAVE THE ROAD OPEN, FULLY OPEN IN THE EVENINGS.
THEY WILL BE PLATING THE AREAS THAT THEY CUT OPEN, BUT FROM SEVEN A TO SUNSET EACH DAY THIS WEEK CAN HAPPEN NEXT WEEK.
RAGSDALE WILL HAVE ONE LANE CLOSED AT THE LIBRARY.
SINCE COMMISSIONER MCMILLAN IS NOT HERE WITH US TONIGHT, I'LL, UH, PROVIDE A LITTLE REPORT FOR HER.
AND THAT IS THAT, UH, ALL WEEK, THIS WEEK WITH SPRING BREAK GOING ON AT 2:00 PM WE HAVE SHOWINGS OF MOVIES THAT ARE THE HUNGER GAMES FRANCHISE.
SO IF ANY TEENAGERS OUT THERE WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER AT TRIBUTE, THEY CAN SHOW UP AT THE LIBRARY AT 2:00 PM.
LIBRARY BOARD MEETING IS THIS WEDNESDAY AT FOUR 30, AND THE LIBRARY SPACE PLANNING COMMITTEE HAS NOW INTERVIEWED TWO ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS WORKING ON THE HOLT FUNDS PROJECT.
AND THERE IS MORE TO COME ON THAT IN THE FUTURE, BUT WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO A REPORT FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY.
THE CITY ATTORNEY, UM, AND THERE'S ARE FOR CLARIFICATION, UM, SHE GAVE US GREAT MATERIALS ON IT, BUT THERE STILL SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION.
UM, ON THE BOND REFERENDUM THAT COMMISSIONER DUNN BROUGHT FORWARD IN DECEMBER OF 24.
UH, WE DISCUSSED THE COMMUNITY'S HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON SINCE THEN, THAT BOND REFERENDUM UNDER STATE LAW COULD HAVE BEEN DONE FOR A BOND TOWARDS THE TENNIS FACILITY, EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT HAVE A FINAL PROJECT COST.
BUT WE COULD HAVE ISSUED THE BOND AND ALLOWED THE CITIZENS TO WEIGH IN ON THAT UNDER STATE LAW.
THAT IS, IF WE'D HAD FOUR COMMISSIONERS VOTE FOR THAT, THAT IS CORRECT.
IT, A REFERENDUM COULD HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE, AT THAT POINT, THE MAY ELECTION FOR ANY PLANNED BOND THAT WAS READY.
SO, AND THIS QUESTION IS KIND OF ANCILLARY TO THAT, THAT SAME STATE MECHANISM FOR THE BOND REFERENDUM, UH, IS THE SAME MECHANISM WE USED IN 2004 ON BOTH THE REFERENDUM OF A BOND ISSUE FOR PURCHASE OF GREEN SPACE AT THAT TIME ON THE TURNER PROPERTY, AND A BOND REFERENDUM ON THE MALLORY LANE EXTENSION, WHICH THE CITIZENS DID VOTE ON DURING A REFERENDUM.
THAT IS THE SAME MECHANISM THAT WE COULD HAVE USED AS WELL, CORRECT? IT IT IS THE SAME STATE LAW.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY? ALRIGHT, WE'LL MOVE
[00:20:01]
ON TO, UM, REPORTS, UM, FROM OUR COMMISSIONERS IN THIS EVENING.WE'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER ANDREWS.
SO, UH, COMING UP AS, UH, WITH THE FREE BOARD, AS Y'ALL PROBABLY KNOW, IF YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING AT ALL TO WHAT I'VE SAID, WE HAVE ARBOR DAY COMING UP.
SO, UH, THE LAST TWO STEPS OF IT, UH, IS AT THE LIBRARY.
LEE, THANKS YOU FOR BEING HERE.
UM, I'M EXCITED ABOUT COMING THERE.
THE NEXT STEP IS ON MARCH 22ND AT THE SERVICE CENTER OVER THERE, UH, BY, BY, UH, FIRE HALL TWO.
UM, WE'LL BE DOING THE TREE BAGGING FOR ARBOR DAY, AND THEN THE WEEK LATER, UH, OF COURSE MARCH 29TH IS ARBOR DAY, FROM 10 TILL ONE AT THE LIBRARY.
HAVE ALL KINDS OF GOOD THINGS HAVE PRESENTATIONS, TREES, UH, I BELIEVE MIDDLE TENNESSEE ELECTRIC IS COMING OUT WITH SNACKS AGAIN, ICE CREAM TRUCK.
SO, WELL, HOPEFULLY FOLKS CAN, UM, CAN JOIN US.
I DO WANT TO GIVE CONDOLENCES TO SARAH VAN WARMER AND HER FAMILY.
I KNOW THEY LOST HER, HER MOM LAST WEEKEND, AND YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A, THAT'S A TOUGH THING.
SO IF WE JUST KEEP THE, THEIR FAMILY AND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
AND ALSO JUST TO BRIEFLY JUST WANNA WELCOME JASON GAGE.
LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING HIM ON, ON STAFF.
I GUESS IT'S COMING UP HERE IN APRIL.
SO, UM, THANKS TO ALL FOR HELPING BE A PRODUCTIVE PART OF THAT PROCESS AND, UH, AND A GOOD RESULT FOR THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD MAYOR.
THE HISTORIC BOARD MET LAST WEEK.
WE HAD A THREE HOUR EVENING MEETING TO PLAN OUR ACTIVITIES FOR NEXT YEAR AND TO ASSIGN CHAIRMAN TO EACH ACTIVITY.
AND I FOUND OUT DURING THE MEETING, WE ARE HAVING THE 200TH BIRTHDAY OF RAVENSWOOD, UH, IN MAY.
AND I HAD PROMISED SOME OF THE HONOREES THAT WE'D HAVE A CAREER, UH, PARADE.
AND OBVIOUSLY I DON'T INTIMIDATE OUR EMPLOYEES VERY MUCH BECAUSE ONE OF THEM SAID, YOU PROMISED IT, YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN.
SO IT'S NOW MY PROJECT
IT'S WELL ON ITS WAY, CHARLES, YOU'LL BE RELIEVED.
CHIEF IS GOING TO DRIVE HIS MUSCLE CAR IN, IN IT, AND I, IT'S REALLY COMING TOGETHER.
BUT I WILL BE LOOKING FOR SOME LITTLE SCOUT TROOPS OR DANCE GROUPS OR WHATEVER.
SO IF YOU KNOW PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED, AND IT'S GONNA BE INTERNAL TO RAVENSWOOD, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN ANY STREETS.
AND IT'LL JUST BE A CIRCULAR, ORGANIC, ALMOST TYPE PARADE BECAUSE IF YOU'RE THERE AND DECIDE YOU WANT TO JOIN, JUST FALL IN AT THE END.
WE'LL HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD SIGNS, HOMEMADE SIGNS, SOME REAL POSTERS, SOME REAL BANNERS.
AND WE WANT ALL THE KIDS AND PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS.
IT'S A BIRTHDAY PARTY, 200 YEARS.
AND IF YOU WANNA BE IN MY PARADE, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL WELCOME YOU.
AND I KNOW THE HISTORIC BOARD WILL TOO.
AND OF COURSE, ALL THE COMMISSIONERS ARE INVITED TO MARCH IN THE PARADE TOO.
I'D LIKE TO START THIS EVENING BY THANKING YOU FOR ALL BEING HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AND THOSE WATCHING ONLINE.
THIS PAST WEEK, THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE VETERAN SUPPORT GROUP CELEBRATED THEIR 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF MEETING AT COSTCO.
I THINK THEY HAD 150 MEMBERS OF THE GROUP ACTUALLY BE THERE.
BUT I WANTED TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO SENATOR MARSHA BLACKBURN FOR BEING THERE AND, AND, UH, PARTICIPATING AND HONORING THE VETERANS AND, AND SENATOR JACK JOHNSON.
UM, THERE WERE SO MANY DIGNITARIES, IT WAS HARD TO LIST, BUT THOSE TWO KIND OF STOOD OUT.
AND LAST WEEK I HAD THE PLEASURE OF, UH, BEING WITH PAC SIX AND THEIR PARENTS AND A FEW SIBLINGS TO TOUR OUR POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
IT'S ALWAYS A WONDERFUL THING.
IT'S LIKE I TOLD HIM, I SAID, BASICALLY WORKED ON THE PROJECT FOR SEVEN YEARS WAS COMPLETED.
I STILL GET REALLY EXCITED WHEN I TOUR IT 'CAUSE IT IS A WORLD CLASS FACILITY.
AND, UM, EVERYONE, THE PARENTS, EVERYONE ENJOYED IT SO MUCH.
AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK CHIEF COLEMAN AND OFFICER JONES FOR, UH, THEY, THERE WERE 50 OF US BASICALLY, AND THAT'S PRETTY LARGE TOUR.
A LOT OF TIMES THE TOURS ARE 10 OR 12, AND SO WE HAD TO BREAK INTO TWO GROOVES.
BUT IT, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GOOD AND REALLY, REALLY FUN.
UM, UH, AND WHO KNOWS, THERE MAY BE SOMEONE WHO DETERMINES AFTER VISITING THAT, THAT THEY GET THE INTEREST TO SERVE AND PROTECT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.
UM, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FIREFIGHTERS.
[00:25:01]
WERE TALKING, I ACTUALLY ASKED WHAT LEVEL WE'RE STAFFED TO, AND I WAS TOLD A HUNDRED PERCENT NOW WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, 100% IN TODAY'S WORLD, THAT'S JUST AMAZING.REALLY, REALLY GOOD JOB CHIEFS APPRECIATE THAT.
UM, MY CONDOLENCES TOO TO SARAH VAN WARMER FOR LOSS OF HER MOTHER.
I HOPE SHE CAN HAVE GOOD MEMORIES AND SHE CAN HOLD THOSE CLOSE TO HER HEART FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
UH, ALSO, UH, I THINK IT'S A CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHOLE CITY FOR, UH, OUR CITY MANAGER THAT WE GOT JASON GAGE 7, 7 0 VOTE.
SO THAT MEANS THE COMMISSIONERS WERE ALL BEHIND THIS.
AND I THINK THAT SENDS A VERY GOOD MESSAGE TO MR. GAGE ABOUT THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD.
UM, THE PLANNING COMMISSION ONE WEEK AGO, UH, TONIGHT, ONE WEEK AGO, WE HAD A HUNDRED PERCENT CONSENT AGENDA.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS ON THE AGENDA THAT I FOUND MOST INTERESTING WAS THE APPROVAL OF A CAR DEALERSHIP IN MALLORY PARK.
THE REASON IS GOING ON THE FORMER HARLEY DAVIDSON SITE, AND WE WANT THE BIG BUILDING THERE.
WE WANT STEEL PUT IN THERE WHERE IT CAN NEVER BE HARLEY DAVIDSON.
BUT, UM, I DO THINK WHEN YOU HAVE A CONSENT AGENDA THAT IS, UH, SOLID AND ALL CONSENT, A MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT TO DEVELOPERS, THIS IS THE RULES AND REGULATIONS YOU HAVE TO GO BY.
YOU'RE COMPLYING, YOU'RE DOING THEM SO WELL THAT WE CAN PUT YOU ON A CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, I THINK IT'S REALLY, REALLY SPEAKS HIGHLY OF OUR VERY EFFECTIVE PLANNING COMMISSION AND OUR, UH, CODES DEPARTMENT OVER THERE, TODD, UH, FINALLY MAYOR, UM, THE CITY ATTORNEY GOT US INTO THIS, BUT WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM CROCKETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ASKING THE MAYOR AND MYSELF TO COME AND JUDGE A SPELLING BEE.
FIRST GRADE, THIRD GRADE, FIFTH GRADE.
OH MY GOSH, WE HAD A GREAT TIME.
THE MAYOR HAD THE FORETHOUGHT TO BRING BRENTWOOD LAPEL PIN FOR THE WINTER.
YOU'D HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS A SOLID GOLD TROPHY.
AND IT'S SO, IT'S SO HEARTWARMING TO SEE THE KIDS THERE AND SEE THE ATMOSPHERE AND WHAT, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SCHOOLS.
IT'S COUNTY SCHOOLS, BUT THOSE ARE BRENTWOOD KIDS AND THEY'RE GETTING A GREAT EDUCATION.
I'M SO GRATEFUL I WAS ABLE TO GO.
SO THANK YOU FOR SETTING THAT UP, KRISTIN.
UH, THANK YOU, UH, CHIEF, CONGRATULATIONS, UH, TO, UH, BE BEING AT FULL STAFF.
UH, WE'RE SO GLAD TO HAVE ROBERT, UH, TINO AND, UH, AND MATTHEW, UH, ON BOARD, UH, ON WEDNESDAY THE 26TH, THANKS TO, UH, DUNKING DONUTS, UH, FOR PROVIDING, UH, UH, DONUTS AND FOR ALL THAT CAME OUT, UH, FOR DONUTS WITH THE MAYOR, UH, AT THE, UH, POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

UM, FROM WEDNESDAY THE 26TH, UH, TO FRIDAY THE 28TH.
UM, CITY MANAGER, UH, INTERVIEWS, UH, WERE CONDUCTED AND, UH, WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, ABOUT THAT.
BUT, UM, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL, UH, AND A HUNDRED PERCENT UNANIMOUS IN OUR DECISION WITH, UH, MR. JASON GAGE.
UM, SPELLING BEE AT, UH, AT CROCKETT.
WOW, WHAT A BUNCH OF MEMORIES.
UH, COMING BACK, UH, MY KIDS, UH, WENT TO, UH, CRO ELEMENTARY AND, UH, WALKING DOWN THE HALLS, THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED.
UH, AND, UH, SEEING, UH, THE KIDS AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED AND, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD SEE 'EM AS THEY WOULD, UH, TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPELL THE WORDS ON THEIR, UH, IMAGINARY BLACKBOARD OR, UM, I GUESS WHITEBOARD OR WHATEVER THEY USE NOW IN SCHOOL, UM, UH, ON THE, UH, INSIDE OF THEIR HEAD, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THEY GOT IT RIGHT.
UH, AND JUST THE AMOUNT OF THOUGHT AND PROCESSING THAT WENT INTO IT.
AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED AND EVERYBODY HAD A, UH, A GREAT TIME.
AND THEN, UH, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, UH, TO WALK IN AND, UH, KIND OF AMBUSH, UH, UH, YOUR SON.
HE WAS LIKE, OKAY, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE TO SEE ME? UH, IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
THE VICE MAYOR AND I, UH, HAD A BIG TIME.
UM, AND THEN, UH, FRIDAY, UH, MARCH 7TH, UH, AT, UH, COSTCO.
UH, THE, UH, SUPPORT GROUP THERE, UH, THAT KIND OF STARTED OUT, UH, REAL INFORMAL, HAS GROWN, UH, INTO JUST A FANTASTIC, UH, VETERANS, UH, GROUP.
UH, THEY SAY THEY ALL WANT TO BE THERE FOR THE DOLLAR 50 HOT DOGS.
AND, UH, AND I DON'T BLAME 'EM, BUT, UM, COSTCO IS JUST VERY GRACIOUS TO ALLOW THOSE THAT PUT THEMSELVES IN HARM'S WAY, UH, TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM, UH, TO GO.
UH, BUT IT WAS A, UH, UH, A WELL ATTENDED EVENT.
UH, THERE WERE MANY, UH, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
THE SHERIFF WAS THERE, UM, US SENATORS, UM, STATE REPS, UH, AND I THINK THERE WAS ALSO ONE, UM, US UH, REP, UH, THERE AT, UH, AT COSTCO.

UM, AS YOU ALL HAVE MENTIONED IN YOUR COMMENTS ALREADY, AFTER THE, UM, RETIREMENT OF KIRK BEDNAR, THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS UNDERTOOK A SEARCH PROCESS FOR HIS REPLACEMENT.

I'M HAPPY TO GO OVER AS MANY DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT AS YOU'D LIKE.
UM, BUT HE SHOULD START APRIL 28TH.
QUESTIONS, UH, COMMENTS, UH, FOR CITY ATTORNEY, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A, UH, UM, UH, A, A LONG, UH, PROCESS.
WE WENT THROUGH IT ONCE BEFORE, AND, UM, AT THE END OF, UH, THE PROCESS, WE WERE UNABLE TO COME TO AGREEMENT, UM, WITH, UM, AN APPLICANT THAT MADE SENSE FOR ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE CITY.
UH, AND MUCH, AS MUCH AS WE ALL HATED IT, AND I KNOW STAFF DID AS WELL, WE SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE GONNA DO THE RIGHT THING.
AND SO WE, UM, RELOADED AND, UM, STARTED OVER AGAIN.
UH, FORTUNATELY WE CAME TO THE END, UH, TOUGH DECISION.
UH, BUT THERE WAS ONE CANDIDATE, UH, THAT CAME OUT ON TOP AND, UM, UM, WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT, UH, THAT WE WERE UNANIMOUS, UH, IN THE DECISION TO, UH, TO MAKE AN OFFER TO, UH, MR. JASON GAGE.
UH, AND HE ACCEPTED THAT OFFER.
THE STAFF WAS FULLY ENGAGED TO, UH, FOR A WHOLE DAY THEY WORKED WITH OBSERVING PRESENTATIONS BY THE VARIOUS CANDIDATES AND QUESTIONING THEM AND THEN GIVING US THEIR FEEDBACK.
AND THEY WERE ON THE SAME PAGE WE WERE ON, WHICH MAKES THIS REALLY NICE, I THINK, FOR ALL CONCERN.
