UH, THE BRENTWOOD TREE BOARD, WHICH MET ON SEPTEMBER 15TH, CONDUCTED THEIR SEMI-ANNUAL CHECK OF THE DEERWOOD ARBORETUM, A PLACE WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. A COUPLE OF ITEMS FROM THAT ASSESSMENT ARE, NUMBER ONE, THE BOARD IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE AN INVASIVE TREE SPECIES KNOWN AS THE TREE OF HEAVEN. AND ANYBODY'S EVER DEALT WITH THAT TREE AND KNOWS THAT'S AN INAPPROPRIATE CATEGORIZATION OF THIS. IT'S, UH, IT'S A FAR EASTERN TREE, AN ORIENTAL TREE. UH, AND IT IS INVASIVE INDEED. UH, THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS VERY SIMILAR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS IMAGE, UH, TO THE, TO OUR NATIVE NON-INVASIVE SUMAC TREES. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE. AND THOSE GROW WILD HERE. UH, HOPEFULLY RESIDENTS WILL DO THEIR RESEARCH AND, AND CHECK OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS TREE AND THE SUMAC TREE BEFORE THEY PLANT THIS PARTICULAR TREE. 'CAUSE IT'S A PROBLEM. UH, WHERE THE TUFTS THAT JUST, YEAH, THE PINK TUFTS. YEAH. YEAH. KEEP, KEEP GOING. YEAH. AND IT'S, UH, NO BUENO. . UH, BUT IN ALL, UH, THE SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT DONE AT, UH, DEERWOOD, UH, CONNOR TELLS US, UH, SUPERVISOR SCHUMANN TELLS US THAT 13 TAGS ARE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ON THE TREES AT DEERWOOD. UH, HE'S GONNA BE PICKING THOSE UP THIS WEEK AND INSTALLING THOSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ALSO, SEVERAL TREES WERE NOTED AS BEING DEAD, AS WELL AS SEVERAL BRANCHES, WHICH WILL REQUIRE REMOVAL, OF COURSE PRUNING AS PART OF THE PROCESS THERE. UH, THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THERE WAS NOT A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE ARBORETUM NUMBERS AS A RESULT OF OUR OLD FRIEND ICE STORM FERN, UH, WHO REARED ITS UGLY HEAD IN JANUARY. BUT ON AN UP NOTE, UH, A NEW SPECIES OF CUSA DOGWOOD, SOME PEOPLE SAY CASA, BUT IT'S CUSA. AND, UH, IT WAS DISCOVERED ON THE SITE. AND THAT WILL GET A NEW TAG. WE HAVE A KIND OF A VOLUNTEER OF A GOOD, GOOD SPECIES THERE. UH, THE CUSA CAUGHT DOGWOOD, IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, IT'S VERY STUNNING. IT'S A SLOW TO MEDIUM GROWING PROBABLY 15 TO 20 FEET. UH, ORNAMENTAL TREE FAMOUS FOR, UH, STAR SHAPED FLOWERS THAT [00:20:01] BLUE IN THE SPRING, AND THOSE ARE WHITE. AND IT ALSO HAS AN EDIBLE RASPBERRY LIKE RED FRUIT. UH, SO FOR YOU SURVIVALIST OUT THERE AND A UNIQUE PEELING BARK FEATURE, WHICH ADDS TO THE KIND OF OVERALL, UH, ATTRACTION OF THAT PARTICULAR TREE. BUT I WAS GLAD WE FOUND ONE IN, IN, UH, IN THAT ARBORETUM. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF IDENTIFIED SPECIES AT DEERWOOD NOW STANDS AT 70. AND NOW ON OUR NEXT TREE BOARD MEETING, WHICH WILL BE ON OCTOBER 20TH, UH, THAT WILL FEATURE OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR, UM, TODD PETROWSKI, WHO WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF PLANNING REQUIREMENTS FOR TREES IN BOTH OUR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES.

UH, ONE OF THOSE IS ON OCTOBER 4TH FROM ONE 30 TO 2:30 PM IT'S CALLED LEARNING TO IDENTIFY TREES AND IT'S FEATURES, UH, TENNESSEE STATE NATURALIST DANIEL DAVE FIO, I THINK THAT IS HOW YOU PRONOUNCE HIS NAME. UH, THAT TALK WILL BE HELD AT THE PAVILION AT DEERWOOD ARBORETUM, BUT IN CASE OF RAIN, THERE'S AN OCTOBER 18TH RAIN DATE. SO MAKE A NOTE OF THAT AT THAT SAME LOCATION. UH, THE FINAL TALK FOR OCTOBER WILL BE CALLED HOW TO PRUNE TREES. AND YES, IT'S SOMETIMES NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK. THERE IS A SCIENCE TO IT THAT WILL BE HELD, UH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER THE 31ST FROM 10:00 AM TO 11:30 AM AT THE JOHN P. HOLT BRENTWOOD LIBRARY AND WILL FEATURE CERTIFIED ARBORIST BLUE CURRY FROM BARTLETT TREE EXPERTS.

I'M REALLY GLAD TO HEAR Y'ALL DOING THE ONE ON PRUNING, JUST IN THE SENSE THAT EVEN WHEN I WAS ON, ON THE TREE BOARD, THERE SEEMED TO BE QUITE A BIT OF DISAGREEMENT EVEN AMONG THE MEMBERS YES. ABOUT HOW TO PROPERLY, NOT ONLY HOW TO, BUT WHEN TO WELL, WHEN TO, AND WE HAD PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT USING THE TERM TOPPING AND GETTING SOMEBODY TO TOP THEIR TREES WAS A GOOD IDEA. JUST FOR THE RECORD, TOPPING A TREE IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. UM, YOU DON'T TRIM TREES LIKE BUSHES. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE CERTIFIED ARBORIST LIKE BLUE CUR TO TELL US. YEP. CORRECT. IT'S, IT'S A BIG DEAL. ALRIGHT. YEAH. COMMISSIONER TRAVIS. THANK YOU MAYOR. THE PLANNING COMMISSION INFO MEETING WILL BE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1ST AT 8:00 AM RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

UM, JUST ABOUT THE EXCHANGE CLUB. UH, I GO TO THE EXCHANGE CLUB MEETINGS QUITE FREQUENTLY. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO PUT THE FLAGS UP THAT WE GET CREDIT FOR ON FRANKLIN ROAD, . AND, UH, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT 'EM UP BEFORE, UH, I FOR LABOR DAY AND THEN LEAVE 'EM UP THROUGH NINE 11. THEY LOOKED JUST BEAUTIFUL. AND WE DID HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL DAYS WHEN THEY WERE FLYING. THEY DO REPORT SOME DAMAGE WITH THE FLAGS. I THINK THEY HAD A FLAG OR TWO STOLEN. SOMEBODY REPORTED, SOMEBODY TOOK FLAGS. THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO NEED TO ADJUST THE, UM, THE FLAG WHERE THEY HANG THEM ON THE STREET POLES. SOME HAVE SLIPPED DOWN, SOME HAVE CHANGED. AND SO THEY, THEY'RE WANTING TO DO THAT PRETTY SOON BEFORE WINTER COMES. AND THEY'LL WORK WITH, WITH THE CITY ON THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE, UM, CAN SAFELY GET THEM OUT THERE. UH, THE BRENTWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN VERY GOOD WHEN THEY PUT THE FLAGS OUT, WHEN THEY TAKE 'EM UP TO HELP WITH THAT. BUT IT, IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SITE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE A PRETTY DAY IN DOWNTOWN BRENTWOOD MAKES US EVEN MORE APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT WE HAVE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. UH, VICE MAYOR. ALRIGHT. UH, NOT A LOT TONIGHT, BUT IT WAS A GREAT CELEBRATION ON 9 2 5 TODAY. [00:25:01] STILL MAKE NOISES THAT ED CROCKETT, UH, SEEMED TO BE LOTS OF LAUGHTER AND LOTS OF TEARS. THAT IS A SAD MOVIE, BUT, UH, BUT A HUMAN CONDITION MOVIE, A VERY, VERY GOOD MOVIE. UM, AND THE CROWD SEEMED TO THOROUGHLY ENJOY IT, SO I WAS VERY THANKFUL WE WE DID THAT. UH, IT'S A CITY. THANK YOU, CHARLES. UM, AND THEN OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY THIS EVENING, UM, AS WE THINK ABOUT THE LOSS OF LIFE OF THE STATE TROOPER IN KENTUCKY, JUST RIGHT ACROSS THE BORDER, UM, HAYDEN PHILLIPS. AND SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE IN BRENTWOOD WILL KEEP HIS FAMILY AND HIS COLLEAGUES, ESPECIALLY IN HIS PRAYERS, UH, AS THIS IS A HARD DAY. SO THAT'S ALL. MAYOR. THANK YOU. YEAH, THANK YOU. SO, A FEW THINGS JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON, UH, BRIEFLY, UM, AS, UH, COMMISSIONER STEIN, BUT THE TREES WE'RE GETTING INTO THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE IT'S, UH, A GOOD TIME, YOU KNOW, EITHER IN THE FALL OR THE SPRING TO PLANT TREES AND JUST ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO BE THINKING ABOUT, UH, THE ICE STORM AS WAS MENTIONED. AND IF YOU HAVE A BIG OPEN SPACE WITH NO POWER LINES IN SIGHT, A NICE LARGE VARIETY TREE FOR CANOPY IS GREAT. IF YOU'VE GOT POWER LINES RIGHT THERE, CUTE LITTLE TREES THAT SIT UNDER 'EM IS A, IS A MUCH BETTER USE IN THAT AREA. SO WE'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND GET APPROPRIATE TENNESSEE NATIVE SPECIES IN, IN GOOD SPOTS TO REPLACE THE TREES THAT WE, UH, SADLY LOST LAST, UH, LAST SPRING. BUT GOOD TIME OF YEAR. AND, UH, ALSO THE TREE MAINTENANCE. YOU KNOW, IT'S MUCH EASIER TO DO THE TREE MAINTENANCE YOURSELF THAN TO HAVE NES OR MIDDLE TENNESSEE COME OUT AND DO IT FOR YOU. UM, SO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LEARN HOW TO DO THE PROPER, UH, PRUNING AND MAINTENANCE. UH, WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW CALLS, UH, LATELY. I'M NOT SURE IT'S DRIVING IT, BUT SUDDENLY PEOPLE NOTICE THAT WE HAVE SIGNS AT THE, UH, THE BORDERS OF THE CITY AND SEEM TO WANT US TO, UM, TO, UH, IMPROVE OUR SIGNAGE. SO, UH, IIII THINK EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT, THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT AND IT'S IN THE PIPELINE. AND CHARLES, I GUESS THIS NEXT BRIEFING, IF WE HAVE AN UPDATED TIMELINE THAT WE CAN SHARE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE SIGNS THAT ARE, THAT ARE COMING, JUST SO WE CAN BE SURE TO SHARE THAT WITH FOLKS. UM, ALONG THE SAME, UH, UH, THE SAME TOPIC, UM, WITH THE CELL TOWERS. KINDA LIKE THE SIGNS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE LATELY SEEM TO BE NOTICING THAT IN FACT, CELL SERVICE HAS NOT IMPROVED YET. AND, UH, WHICH I KNOW ALL OF US ARE AWARE OF, THAT IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO BUILD THE CELL TOWERS, BUT JUST TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT WE ARE IN FACT, UH, MAKING I THINK REALLY GOOD PROGRESS TOWARDS IMPROVING CELLULAR SERVICE. WE WANNA ENCOURAGE ALL THE, THE COMMISSIONERS TO KEEP SHARING THE STORY OF THE FOLKS AND WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHY WE'RE BEING VERY CAREFUL AND JUDICIOUS ABOUT IT. WE'RE NOT JUST KATY BAR THE DOOR ADDING TOWERS ALL THROUGH THE CITY. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HAVE A FOREST OF METAL, BUT WE DO WANNA HAVE GOOD, GOOD COVERAGE. AND, UH, AS OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE MENTIONED, AND CHARLES, REALLY THANK YOU AND, AND JASON AND DAVE AND, AND REALLY ALL, ALL THE FOLKS WHO WORKED THAT EVENT, I THINK EVERY DEPARTMENT PROBABLY HAD SOMEBODY OUT THERE TO PULL OFF DOLLY PARTON DAY. AND I REALLY APPRECIATED IT. SAW LOTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA, UH, POSTS ABOUT HATS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED UNTIL AFTERWARDS. I GUESS WE HAD SOME COMMEMORATIVE CITY OF BRENTWOOD, DOLLY HATS A VENDOR PROVIDED, OH, WAS IT A VENDOR? OKAY, GREAT. SO HOW MANY, UH, COMMEMORATIVE MISSED DOLLY HATS DID WE GIVE AWAY? ABOUT 50 50. ALRIGHT, WELL I WAS THERE MUCH TOO LATE TO GET TO THAT . IT'S, UH, THAT WAS VERY FUN. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU KNOW, SHE IS A BELOVED MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GREAT WAY TO, TO REMEMBER HER. UM, ALSO WANNA MENTION, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS ON OUR, OUR AGENDA TONIGHT IS, UH, IS MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS. I MENTIONED IT JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN OUR TEAM AND THE FOLKS AT BIKE WALK, BRENTWOOD AND CITIZENS FOR BRENTWOOD GREEN SPACE TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE, CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY. AND I JUST THINK THAT IS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT HELPS MAKE BRENTWOOD SUCH A A DESIRABLE COMMUNITY. IT'S ALL THESE PARTNERSHIPS WHERE WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE BRENTWOOD BALL CLUB OR BRENTWOOD ROTARY OR ANY NUMBER OF GROUPS. UM, BRENTWOOD BLAZE HAS DONE QUITE A FEW, UH, PARTNERSHIPS, YOU KNOW, BUT WE HAVE GROUPS THAT'LL WORK WITH THE CITY TO TRY TO DELIVER REALLY, REALLY GOOD SERVICES IN A COST EFFECTIVE WAY. AND, UM, I THINK THE TRAILS AND THE AGENDA TONIGHT ARE JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT KIND OF COLLABORATION. REALLY WANNA RECOGNIZE AND ENCOURAGE THAT. AND, UH, AND SPEAKING OF THINGS THAT MAKE OUR COMMUNITY REALLY WONDERFUL AND DESIRABLE, UM, WE'RE RUNNING THE 2040 PLAN RIGHT NOW AND I BELIEVE THE, UH, THE DEADLINE FOR RETURNING THE SURVEYS IS LOOMING. UM, IT'S JUST A FEW MORE DAYS. SO I WANNA ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY ONCE AGAIN TO REACH OUT TO YOUR NETWORKS AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SURVEYS TO COMPLETE THEM AND RETURN THEM AND TO PARTICIPATE. UM, [00:30:01] I BELIEVE WE ALREADY HAVE A STATISTICALLY RELEVANT SAMPLE, UM, FROM OUR CITIZENS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM EVERYBODY THAT HAS, UH, SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE.

UH, WE SHOW NO OLD BUSINESS ON THE AGENDA. UH, NEW BUSINESS ITEM [1. Ordinance 2026-11 - AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH MOORELAND ESTATES HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN REAL ESTATE LOCATED AT MOORE'S LANE FOR THE SITE OF A FIRE STATION, for consideration on first reading] NUMBER ONE, ORDINANCE 2026 DASH 11 AND ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH MORELAND ESTATES. UH, MORELAND ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN REAL ESTATE LOCATED AT MOORE'S LANE FOR THIS SITE OF FIRE STATION FOR CONSIDERATION ON FIRST READING. SO, UH, I, YES, CITY MANAGER, GAGE, THANK YOU TO MAKE A MOTION. MOTION FIRST. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE VICE MAYOR, LITTLE SECOND COMMISSIONER GUERRE, UM, BRIEFING BY THE CITY MANAGER. YEAH, THANK YOU. UM, AS YOU, UH, KNOW, THE, UH, IT'S BEEN A HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR SOME TIME TO, UH, BE ABLE TO, UH, MOVE OUTTA THE LOCATION OF FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY AT 1750. UH, GENERAL, UH, GEORGE PATTON DRIVE THE VERY, VERY SOUTHERNMOST PART OF OUR CITY. AND TO FIND A ANOTHER LOCATION THAT MAKES SENSE FROM A RESPONSE PERSPECTIVE. AND SO, UH, UH, IN LOOKING AT PROPERTIES OVER THE YEARS, UH, THERE'S A PROPERTY AT MORELAND ESTATES. IT'S OPEN SPACE NORTH OF MOORES LANE AND WEST OF THE CSX REALIGN, WHICH WE'VE LOOKED AT FOR MANY YEARS. AND, UH, WHAT WE BRING DUE TODAY IS A PURCHASE AGREEMENT. FIRST READING FOR A PURCHASE AGREEMENT, UH, TO ACTUALLY PURCHASE THAT PROPERTY AND EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO MOVE STATION THREE TO THAT LOCATION. AND SO, UH, ONE OF THE, A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT ARE INTERESTING IS THAT FROM THE CURRENT LOCATION, ALMOST 95% OF LADDER 50 THREES RESPONSE RESPONSES REQUIRE THEM TO GET TO, UH, MOORE'S LANE. AND IT MAKES SENSE BASED ON THE LOCATION, UH, THAT HA A LITTLE OVER A HALF A MILE DISTANCE ADDS ROUGHLY A, A MINUTE AND A HALF TO THOSE RESPONSES. THAT MINUTE AND A HALF IS REALLY IMPORTANT, UH, AND NOT JUST FROM A LADDER PERSPECTIVE, WHICH A FIRE, UH, CERTAIN TYPES OF FIRES IN THE RIGHT CONDITION CAN MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY IN A MINUTE AND A HALF. BUT WE ALSO, FROM, UH, ANY KIND OF A EMERGENCY MEDICAL SITUATION, A MINUTE AND A HALF FOR A HEART ATTACK OR A STROKE CAN BE A BIG DEAL. SO A MINUTE AND A HALF IS A, A VERY SIGNIFICANT, UH, UH, IMPROVEMENT IN OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO OUR COMMUNITY IN THE SOUTH PART OF OUR TOWN. AND SO, UM, WHAT WE HAVE HERE, AGAIN, IS A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THAT. SO I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. UM, FIRST OF ALL, UH, IT IS IN PART OF WHAT'S IN THEIR OPEN SPACE, BUT OUR, OUR CODE DOES ALLOW FOR OPEN SPACE TO BE DEDICATED, UH, TO A PUBLIC AGENCY FOR SPECIFIED PUBLIC PURPOSES AND STILL BE CREDITED AS OPEN SPACE. SO THAT REALLY WORKS OUT WELL FOR BOTH US AND FOR THE MORELAND ESTATES, UH, HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND THOSE THAT LIVE THERE. UM, WE BEGAN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE HOA, UH, GROUP, UH, IN 23. AND I SAY WE, IT'S THE FIRE, FIRE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP HAD MOST OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND DID MOST OF THE LEGWORK. SO, SO I WANT TO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO THEM. UH, I HAD A FEW CONVERSATIONS ALONG THE WAY, BUT UH, THEY DID ALL THE WORK. UH, IN AUGUST OF 25, UH, WE CONTRACTED FOR AN APPRAISAL AND THE, THE, THE VALUE IS APPROXIMATELY 300,000 AN ACRE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT 3.68 ACRES. SO THE, UH, DOLLAR AMOUNT IS [00:35:01] ONE POINT, UH, 1 MILLION, $104,000 FOR THOSE, FOR THAT ACREAGE THAT'S THERE. IT DID REQUIRE, IT TOOK A WHILE BECAUSE IT REQUIRED A VOTE BY THE HOA AND IT, AND THAT ENABLED THE BOARD TO TAKE THEIR ACTION. AND THEY DID THAT AND THEY WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH AND VERY SUPPORTIVE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS, IS THEY WERE WORRIED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NOISE AND, AND SOME OTHER THINGS. AND WE SAID, WELL, RIGHT NOW THE NOISE BLAIRS TOWARDS YOU WHEN WE GET THERE, TO ACTUALLY GO AWAY FROM YOU. AND THE RESPONSE TIME FOR THAT SUBDIVISION FOR A PARTICULAR EMS CALLS IS GONNA BE REDUCED DRAMATICALLY. SO THAT'S A BIG BENEFIT FOR THOSE THAT LIVE THERE AS WELL. SO THEY WERE HAPPY ABOUT THAT AND WE DID GET A FAVORABLE VOTE THAT TOOK A WHILE FOR THEM FROM BEGINNING TO END TO COMPLETE. AND, UH, VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT SHOWS THE CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THE BENEFIT TO THEM FOR US TO BE AT THAT LOCATION. AND SO, UH, THAT, AGAIN, THAT LOCATION ELIMINATE A 1.5 MINUTE, UH, DELAY FOR NEARLY 95% OF OUR LADDER, UH, CALLS. THE PROPERTY'S NOT IN THE FLOOD ZONE. IT'S, IT'S A GREAT PROPERTY. IT'S, UH, FAIRLY FLAT. UH, WE, WE, WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT SOILS A LITTLE BIT THERE AND AS THE, WE GET INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, BUT WE'RE NOT TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT, UH, THE SOILS, UM, THE RELOCATION OF FIRE STATION THREE WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW THE SPACE THAT WE USE DOWN AT THAT AREA TO BE UTILIZED BY THE SERVICE CENTER FUNCTIONS, UH, PUBLIC WORKS AND, UH, IN THE WATER SERVICES. AND SO WE CAN BEGIN PLANNING FOR THAT VERY SOON ACTUALLY, UH, AT LEAST AS WE LOOK AT DESIGN AND HOW THE SPACE WILL BE USED. AND WE CAN ALSO, UH, BEGIN QUICKLY, PRETTY QUICKLY TALKING ABOUT THE DESIGN FOR THIS FIRE STATION AT A NEW LOCATION AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT CONSTRUCTION COSTS, BUT WE CAN GET INTO THE PRELIMINARY PIECES OF THAT PROJECT AND KEEP MOVING AND SEE WHERE THAT GOES AS WE GET INTO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, UH, BUDGETING OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. UM, THE CURRENT STATION, UH, DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD 24 HOUR, UH, OCU OCCUPATION AND COED OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS. SO THE NEW ONE WILL TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF THE, THOSE LITTLE DETAILS THAT IT NEEDS TO. THE NEW STATION WOULD ALSO PROVIDE, AS I MENTIONED, IN IMPROVE DMS TRANSPORT SERVICES IN THE AREA BY ENABLING THE 24 HOUR SERVICE. SO A LOT OF REALLY GOOD THINGS THAT FITS THE LONG-TERM PLANNING THAT WE'VE HAD. UM, AND, AND I THINK, AGAIN, BEING ABLE TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU HERE IS BASED ON HAVING A REALLY GOOD REPUTATION IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE, FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE CITY AS A WHOLE, GREAT EFFORT FROM FIRE DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION AND THE CONVERSATION WORKING WITH THE HOA AND WORKING WITH REALLY THE CITIZENRY THERE AS WELL. THEY, THEY TOOK TIME TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS. AND I THINK THAT WENT A LONG WAY. I MEAN, IT MEANS A LOT. SO VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS IN FRONT OF YOU. SO WHAT WE HAVE IS, AGAIN, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH MORELAND, THE STATE'S HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THIS, UH, FIRE STATION PROPERTY. AND EVENTUALLY WE CAN GET INTO THAT. VERY GOOD. WILL THEY USE THE EXISTING LIGHT? CAN YOU SHOW WHERE THE FIRE STATION WOULD BE AND HOW THEY WILL USE THE LIGHT? I MEAN, YEAH, THAT'S, THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER LIGHT IN DIFFICULT PICTURE TO REFERENCE OFF OF ALLISON. I DON'T, WE HAVE A CLICKER. UH, LET'S SEE. THERE YOU, I GOT THAT AND I DON'T HAVE A CLICKER. ALLISON HAS A CLICKER. SO CHIEF COLLINS CAN KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH THAT. CERTAINLY THE EXISTING LIGHT IS ACTUALLY UP AT MORELAND BOULEVARD IN MOORE'S LANE. SO THE STATION ENTRANCE WILL BE FURTHER TOWARDS THE EAST, UM, IN THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD, WOULD RUN ALONG PARALLEL WITH THE CSX PROPERTY. SO WE WON'T BE USING THAT LIGHT ACTUALLY AT ALL. OKAY. CORRECT. YEP. CAN YOU CONTROL THAT LIGHT AS YOU EXIT? YEAH. SO OUR PREEMPTION SYSTEM WOULD ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN MM-HMM . UM, AND THEN I'M SURE THERE'LL BE, AND WE'LL, WE'LL GET THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS INVOLVED CERTAINLY, BUT I'M SURE THERE'LL BE SOME, SOME, UH, WARNING DEVICES OUT HERE ON MOORE'S LANE THAT WILL, THAT WILL HELP US CONTROL THAT. SO, UH, WE WON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL, OBVIOUSLY, OVER THE CSX CROSSING, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT TODAY, SO WE'RE STILL ON THE, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT CROSSING AND THAT, THAT TRACK DOESN'T RECEIVE A WHOLE LOT OF TRAFFIC ANYWAY, SO. MM-HMM . HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I'M HERE TO AWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UH, COMMENTS. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK THE RESIDENTS OF MARLON ESTATES FOR, FOR AGREEING TO THIS BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A GREAT BENEFIT. UM, I KNOW THAT FIRE STATION AT THE SERVICE CENTER ANSWERS A LOT OF INTERSTATE CALLS, UH, THAT'LL BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT GETTING TO THE INTERSTATE. UM, WHERE THERE AGAIN, A MINUTE AND A HALF CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ACCIDENT IS. UM, BUT, UM, I ALSO WANNA THANK OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, OUR INTERNATIONALLY ACCREDITED BRENTWOOD FIRE DEPARTMENT MM-HMM . UH, FOR YOUR GREAT EFFICIENCY AND EFFORTS. AND, UM, UM, I'VE ALWAYS FELT AS A COMMISSIONER THAT WE'RE VERY BLESSED, BLESSED IN THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND, AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, THAT THEY ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE AND EXUDE EXCELLENCE. AND SO ANY TOOL THAT, THAT [00:40:01] I, AS A COMMISSIONER CAN BE A PART OF GIVING YOU THAT WILL HELP YOU BE MORE EFFICIENT, THAT'S LIFE SAVED. WE MAY NOT KNOW WHICH LIVES WERE SAVED, THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY, BUT THAT'S LIFE SAVED. SO THIS IS ALWAYS LOVE VOTING ON THESE THINGS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S MY LITTLE BITTY PART IS, IS, IS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO, UH, KEEP OUR CITIZENS SAFE AND SECURE. SO THANK Y'ALL FOR ALL YOU DO. BUT THIS IS ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS LOVE. IT'S, UH, MONEY WELL SPENT, SO GOOD. OTHER CUMMINS? YEAH, JUST FOR TRAVIS. I, I LIVE, YOU KNOW, NOT TOO FAR OVER THE HILL OVER THERE. AND A LOT OF THE MORLAND PEOPLE DID CORRESPOND WITH ME, AND THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT WE PUT IN IT. AND THEY, A COUPLE OF 'EM TOLD ME THEY FELT LIKE, THEY FELT LIKE THEY WERE BEING ULTRA CONSERVATIVE, BUT THEY WANTED THOSE ANSWERS AND THEY FELT VERY GOOD WHEN THEY GOT THOSE ANSWERS. SO AGAIN, I THINK IT WAS A GREAT PROCESS THAT YOU WENT THROUGH. CHIEF. VERY GOOD. OTHER COMMENTS? WELL, I WANNA THANK EVERYBODY FOR ALL THE WORK ON THIS PROJECT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT DONE YET, BUT THIS IS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO, TO I THINK HELP OUR FIRST RESPONDERS TO HELP HAVE MUCH BETTER LOCATION ALSO TO HELP GIVE US THE, THE ROOM TO HELP MAKE THE SERVICE CENTER WHAT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE. AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE SAID, UH, QUITE A FEW TIMES, AND I'LL SAY QUITE A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE I'M DONE, I REALLY WANT BRENTWOOD TO BE THE, THE HOME FOR PEOPLE SERIOUS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PROFESSIONAL WORK OF THE CITY. WHETHER IT'S OUR FIRE AND RESCUE, WHETHER IT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHETHER IT'S THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY. I WANT US TO BE THE PREFERRED EMPLOYER OF CHOICE. AND PART OF THAT IS HAVING A REALLY GOOD WORK ENVIRONMENT AND HAVING THE RIGHT FACILITIES IN THE RIGHT PLACES. SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR WORKING HARD TO FIND COST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL AND TO HELP GET US WITH THE RIGHT, WITH THE RIGHT ASSETS IN THE RIGHT PLACES. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. END THE COMMENTS BEFORE VOTE. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION, WE HAVE A SECOND. SO ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? I PASS THESE UNANIMOUSLY. DO YOU HAVE ANY [2.
