NOW PUBLIC HEARINGS ON REZONING ORDINANCES ARE PRIMARILY INTENDED AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZENS TO SPEAK THEIR VIEWS AND VOICES IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION TO REZONING THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED BY OTHER PARTIES.

PERSONS SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THE APPLICANT FOR THE REZONING ARE ALLOWED OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK WHEN THE ORDINANCE IS CONSIDERED FOR PASSAGE ON FIRST OR SECOND READING AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONFINE THEIR REMARKS OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.

SO DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT? DO WE HAVE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON, UH, THE REZONING? SEE NO ONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ITEM IS THE APPROVAL OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES.

MINUTES PASS UNANIMOUSLY.

SO THAT MOVES US TO OUR NEXT PUBLIC COMMENTARY.

SO THIS IS OUR TIME WHERE IF ANYONE HERE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ANY ITEMS, UH, ON THE AGENDA.

SO INDIVIDUALS MAY COMMENT ON ANY ITEM INCLUDED ON THE CONSENT OR THE REGULAR AGENDA OR ON ANY OTHER MATTER REGARDING THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD.

ALL COMMENTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.

CITIZENS WHO WISH TO REQUEST AN ITEM BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA TO THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION SHOULD MAKE THAT KNOWN TO THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.

A SIGN-IN SHEET HAS BEEN PROVIDED.

CHIEF, DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED IN FOR THE, UH, PUBLIC MEETING? PRESTON, JARED, YOU GUYS? ANYBODY? NOPE.

SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN IN TO SPEAK.

DEVIN, ARE YOU GONNA...

SO, UH, SEEING THAT, UH, I GUESS WE HAVE NO ONE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.

WE'LL CLOSE THAT.

THAT BRINGS US

[ Report from City Manager Report from the City Attorney Reports and comments by Commissioners and Mayor]

GOOD EVENING.

UH, ONE THING BEFORE I, BEFORE I GET DIRECTLY INTO THIS REPORT, UM, MY, MY THREE BOYS WERE IN SCOUTS AND THEY ALL BECAME EAGLE SCOUTS, WHICH IS THE COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD, I'LL TELL YOU.

SO I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BE EAGLE AND IT'S SUPER COOL.

AND, UH, THEY WERE TOLD YOU WANNA BECOME AN EAGLE BEFORE THE FUMES GET YOU, THE PERFUMES AND THE CARFUMES.

SO ANYWAY.

IT'S GREAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WITH THAT SAID, WE HAVE SOME REALLY IMPORTANT DATES IN FRONT OF US HERE.

SO JUST A REMINDER THAT THE CITY OFFICES AND THE JOHN P.

HOLT BRENTWOOD LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED THIS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH FOR VETERANS DAY.

SO YOU MIGHT BE ASKING WHAT SUPER EXCITING ACTIVITY ARE WE GONNA HAVE ON THAT DAY? I'M SURE YOU ARE.

UH, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE'VE, UH, RECOGNIZED VETERANS DAY AS A CITY HALL DAY, UH, BUT, UH, WE DO HOPE AND INVITE THE PUBLIC TO JOIN US AT 11:00 AM ON VETERANS DAY THIS WEDNESDAY FOR OUR VETERANS DAY CEREMONY, UH, WHICH IS GONNA BE HELD AT THE BRENTWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT, 910 HERITAGE WAY.

SO HOPEFULLY PEOPLE CAN, UH, MAKE IT OUT TO THAT.

UH, OUR VERY OWN MAYOR NELSON ANDREWS IN COOPERATION WITH WILLIAMSON INC.

WILL DELIVER THE CITY'S ANNUAL ADDRESS, STATE OF THE CITY, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL THAT, AT 9:00 AM THIS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH AT THE JOHN P.

HOLT BRENTWOOD LIBRARY.

COME LEARN ABOUT THE STATE OF THE CITY AND PLANS THAT WILL GUIDE THIS COMMUNITY IN THE COMING YEARS.

THE EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IT'S WORTH THE TICKET PRICE.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT.

THAT'S ACTUALLY VERY, VERY GOOD.

PEOPLE - TWICE THAT.

TWICE THE TICKET PRICE, YEAH.

UM, WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON, SO I'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT OUR ANNUAL MARY AND BRIDE EVENT, WHICH, UH, FEATURES THE CITY'S TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY, UH, WILL BE FROM FOUR TO SIX PM ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 7TH AT THE JOHN P.

HOLT BRENTWOOD LIBRARY.

A LOT OF ACTIVITIES AT THE LIBRARY.

GREAT PLACE.

THERE WILL BE FREE HOT CHOCOLATE, THANKS TO THE FRIENDS OF THE BRENTWOOD LIBRARY, TWO POLAR EXPRESS STORY TIMES, TWO, ONE AT 4:00 PM AND ONE AT 5:00 PM.

UH, AND THE TREE LIGHTING WILL BE AT 5:30 PM ON THE LIBRARY'S FRONT LAWN.

UM, THE BRENTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL CHAMBER CHOIR WILL, UH, PERFORM DURING THE TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY AS WELL.

THE STORY TIMES FOR THE POLAR EXPRESS ARE TICKETED, BUT THE TICKETS ARE FREE AND THEY GO REALLY FAST.

SO WANT TO ENCOURAGE ANY RESIDENTS THAT, THAT, UH, PLAN TO GO TO CHECK WITH THE CHILDREN'S LIBRARY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO SEE IF TICKETS REMAIN.

IT'S MY REPORT.

BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR CITY MANAGER? ALL RIGHT.

SO THAT SAVES US A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME FOR A REPORT FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAYOR ANDREWS.

NOTHING TO REPORT TONIGHT.

OH, WOW.

SO, UH, REPORTS AND COMMENTS BY THE COMMISSIONERS AND MAYOR.

UH, COMMISSIONER DUNN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD US OFF TONIGHT? ALL RIGHT.

WE DON'T MEET IN DECEMBER, BUT WE WILL BE HOSTING A CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR, AND YOU'LL ALL BE GETTING YOUR INVITATIONS.

THE HISTORIC BOARD WILL MEET NOT THIS FRIDAY, BUT NEXT FRIDAY FOR OUR REGULAR MEETING.

[00:10:01]

SO WITH ARMISTICE, WELL, VETERANS DAY COMING UP, AND I WAS A HISTORY TEACHER FOR A LOT OF YEARS AND AN ENGLISH TEACHER.

AND, UH, WE TRY TO PUT THIS QUESTION A LOT IN OUR HISTORY BOW.

UH, DO ANY OF YOU BOYS KNOW WHAT VETERANS DAY WAS CALLED BEFORE IT BECAME VETERANS DAY? YEAH.

ARMISTICE DAY.

RIGHT.

ARMISTICE DAY.

AND WHAT ARMISTICE WAS IT? OF WHAT WAR? UH, WORLD WAR II.

AND SPEAK UP BECAUSE I HAVE A HEARING PROBLEM, AS YOU CAN TELL.

WORLD WAR II? WHAT? WORLD WAR II.

RIGHT.

WORLD WAR I.

AND WHEN DID, UH, THE ARMISTICE OCCUR? ON THE 11TH HOUR.

IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A MAGICAL THING.

THE 11TH HOUR ON THE 11TH DAY OF THE 11TH MONTH.

NOVEMBER 11TH AT 11:00.

AND SO ARMISTICE DAY WAS FOR YEARS AND PEOPLE WORE LITTLE RED POPPIES BECAUSE THAT WAS SYMBOLIC OF A FLOWER THAT WAS USED A LOT DURING THE WAR TO MARK GRAVES OF SOLDIERS.

AND THEN IT BECAME KNOWN AS VETERANS DAY.

SO TAKE A MOMENT IF YOU'RE NOT...

I KNOW YOU'LL PROBABLY BE IN SCHOOL THAT DAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S, UH, IS IT A NATIONAL HOLIDAY? IS SCHOOL OPEN OR CLOSED? OPEN.

WELL, TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK, ESPECIALLY AT 11 O'CLOCK, THAT ALL THE, THE WOMEN AND MEN WHO DIED TO, TO GIVE US WHAT WE'VE GOT TODAY.

AND I LOOK AT ALL OF YOU BOYS WITH THOSE, UH, RIBBONS.

MY SON WAS A SCOUT.

HE DIDN'T, UH, GO PAST LIKE, UH, SEVENTH GRADE, I THINK WAS WHEN HE FINISHED BEING A SCOUT.

BUT I, I KNOW HE WORKED HARD ON HIS BADGES.

AND I LOOK AT THAT AND I'M VERY IMPRESSED BY WHAT YOU DID.

SO THANK YOU FOR STARTING YOUR LIFE OUT IN SUCH A GOOD WAY.

YOU'LL BE A REAL ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY AND TO OUR COUNTRY.

AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT, MAYOR.

I'LL LET YOU ALL COVER ALL THE MANY EVENTS WE WENT TO THIS PAST WEEK.

UH, COMMISSIONER GARRETZ.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, LIKE COMMISSIONER DUNN SAID, UM, THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING WILLING TO, UH, TRY TO TAKE THE TIME TO BE A SCOUT AND THEN TO TRY TO EXCEL IN, IN THE DIFFERENT LEVELS.

UM, I HAVE TWO OF, UM, MY KIDS, UM, WERE SCOUTS.

AND, UM, I KNOW FIRSTHAND WATCHING HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT'S INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE JUGGLING SCHOOL AND SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES AND MUSIC LESSONS TO, TO TAKE THE TIME TO, TO REALLY EXCEL IN THE SCOUTING PROGRAM IS, IS SUPER, UM, ADMIRABLE.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING WILLING TO DO THAT.

UM, IT ALSO HELPS YOU BECOME GREAT CITIZENS AND, UM, THAT'S GREAT FOR OUR FUTURE BECAUSE YOU GUYS WILL BE TAKING CARING CARE OF US WHEN WE'RE OLD AND Y'ALL ARE IN CHARGE.

SO, UM, IF Y'ALL ARE AROUND AND WANNA COME SEE THE TREE LIGHT UP, IT'S A FUN EVENT AND, UM, THAT WE'LL HAVE THE PARK MEETING RIGHT BEFORE THAT.

AND, UM, AS FAR AS EVERYTHING, THAT'S ALL I HAVE, UM, OTHER THAN JUST WANTING TO ALSO SHOUT OUT TO APRIL AND, UM, CHIEF COLEMAN AND, UH, UH, ASSISTANT CHIEF SURI, I THINK IS, IS THAT HIS TITLE, ASSISTANT CHIEF? OKAY.

UM, ANYWAY, I, I COULDN'T REMEMBER HIS, UM, AND, UM, YEAH.

UM, AND, BUT THANK YOU GUYS AND, UM, AND APRIL AS WELL AND YOUR TEAM FOR DOING WHAT ALL, THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT Y'ALL HAVE SPENT TO HELP WITH, UM, THE THINGS THAT WE'RE VOTING ON TONIGHT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

UH, COMMISSIONER DONAHUE.

THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, UH, THAT THEY WANNA SEND OUT.

UH, THANK YOU TO THE SCOUTS HERE IN THE FRONT ROW FOR JOINING US TONIGHT AND WORKING ON YOUR CITIZENSHIP BADGE TO THE YOUNG MAN IN THE BACK, YOUR COMMUNICATIONS BADGE.

UM, LIKE THE OTHER TWO COMMISSIONERS OR, OR PROBABLY MORE COMMISSIONERS, UM, I ALSO AM A SCOUT MOM, UM, HAD BEEN A CUB SCOUT WEBLOW KIND OF LEADER AND TAUGHT SOME MERIT BADGES, UM, AND SEWED A LOT OF MERIT BADGES ON AS MY BOYS MADE IT TO LIFE.

UM, I WILL TELL YOU THAT IF I WAS IN CHARGE OF THE SCOUTS, YOU WOULDN'T GET ANY MERIT BADGE UNTIL YOU COULD PROVE THAT YOU COULD SEW IT YOURSELF ONTO YOUR SASH.

AND I THINK THAT SHOULD BE PART OF TENDERFOOT, UM, MAYBE EVEN AS YOU CROSS THE WEBLOW BRIDGE, UM, TO SCOUTS, YOU SHOULD GET YOUR FIRST SEWING KIT POSSIBLY.

BUT, UM, YEAH.

ANYWAY.

HUH? YEAH, THEY HAVE, YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T CROSS THE BRIDGE UNLESS YOU CAN SEW.

UM, BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING US AND YOU HAD ASKED ABOUT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

UM, YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT ABOUT WHEN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IS MEETING.

UH, JOINING US, LIKE I SAID, JOINING US FOR EVENTS IS A GREAT WAY TO START GETTING INVOLVED AT A YOUNG AGE, BUT ALSO WHEN WE NEED YOUNGER PEOPLE, THE TREE BAGGING, UM, THE POLLINATOR GARDEN, ARBOR DAY, JUST VARIOUS EVENTS, JUST PLEASE, UH, YOU KNOW, SPREAD THE WORDS AMONG YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

AND PLEASE CHECK OUR CITY WEBSITE.

YOU MIGHT BE, UH, MORE OFTEN DOING THAT THAN YOUR PARENTS, AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO FIND ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE.

CLEANING CEMETERIES ALSO.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND THE HISTORIC COMMISSION, UM, CLEANS THE CEMETERY MARKERS AT SOME OF THE OLDER, UH, CITY IMPORTANT CEMETERIES.

AND, UM, THAT WOULD ALSO...

IS THAT ON THE HISTORIC PAGE, THE HISTORIC BOARD? YEAH.

THE CEMETERIES ARE ALL HISTORIC THAT WE CLEAN, YEAH.

AND YOU CAN CONTACT THEM THROUGH THE HISTORIC COMMISSION IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, LIKE, THE GENEALOGY AND THE HISTORY OF BRENTWOOD.

ALSO, BEFOREHAND, THERE'S A PUBLIC SURVEY THAT EVERYONE CAN DO, AND THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT TEAMS DISCUSSION, SO HE'S GONNA SHARE THAT, UM, WITH THE CITIZENS, AND IT HAS TO DO WITH AN, A NEED FOR, IS THERE A NEED FOR, AND HOW WOULD WE DO IT FOR AN INTER-CITY BUS- BUS ROUTES IN THE STATE? UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.

ALSO, I WENT TO BIG BAD BREAKFAST TODAY, ANOTHER NEW RESTAURANT.

UH, COMMISSIONER TRAVIS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UH, LAST WEEK WAS A FUN-FILLED WEEK.

LET ME TELL YOU, WE ATE AND PARTIED FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS HERE IN THE CITY.

UH, THANK YOU TO HR FOR COORDINATING EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID.

THANKS TO HOLLY OVER THERE FOR THE, UH, DINNER AT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS DINNER.

THAT, THAT CHICKEN WAS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD FROM JUDGE BEANS, I THINK.

AND, UH, WHAT A GREAT PARTY WE HAD TO HONOR THE, THE EMPLOYEES.

AND IT SHOULD BE AN HONOR TO THE EMPLOYEES.

I'VE SAID BEFORE, AND I STATED IT TWICE LAST WEEK, AS A COMMISSIONER, WE SERVE NOT ONLY THE CITIZENS OF BRENTWOOD, BUT I HOPE WE SERVE THE EMPLOYEES TOO, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT.

WE'RE GONNA BE VOTING ON A PAY PLAN TODAY, AND I THINK THAT'S SERVING THE EMPLOYEES.

SO, UH, IT'S, IT'S PART OF OUR JOB, AND I THINK WE DO IT, AND WE DO IT BECAUSE WE GOT SUCH GREAT EMPLOYEES.

SO I HOPE Y'ALL ALL FEEL THAT WAY.

UH, THANK YOU, SCOUTS.

UM, IT'S, IT IS SO NEAT TO SIT UP HERE AND SEE YOU GUYS.

AND THANK YOU, SCOUT LEADERS.

UM, I WAS A SCOUT FOR ONE YEAR BECAUSE OUR LEADER QUIT, AND NOBODY WOULD TAKE HIS PLACE.

AND MY MOTHER WAS SO MAD BECAUSE SHE HAD BOUGHT UNIFORM AND WE HAD NO MORE SCOUTS.

I WAS AFRAID SHE WAS GONNA MAKE ME WEAR THE UNIFORM ANYWAY, BUT THAT WOULD'VE BEEN EMBARRASSING AT THAT STAGE.

BUT, UH, THANK YOU, LEADERS.

YOU PUT IN A LOT OF HOURS WITH THESE BOYS, AND IT REALLY SHOWS.

THAT'S REALLY GREAT.

UM, THE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION LAST WEEK, THE TWO THINGS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE THE, UH, PEOPLE AWARE OF HERE IN THE ROOM IN OUR COMMISSION, UH, FLOWER CHILD HAS BEEN A- APPROVED THE BUILDING, REDOING THE BUILDING UP THERE WHERE MAPLE STREET WAS.

FLOWER CHILD IS A VEGET - VEGAN VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT THAT'LL BE COMING IN UP THERE.

AND, UH, THE OTHER THING ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS, UH, THE, UM, SOME APPROVAL ON THE MIRACLE FIELD.

THERE'S SOME DRAINAGE.

UH, THEY'VE REDONE THINGS.

THEY'RE GONNA KEEP THE TWO.

THERE WERE TWO BALL FIELDS THAT WERE IN QUESTION BACK THERE.

THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP THOSE.

THEY'VE WORKED OUT THE DRAINAGE.

THEY SAY IT'S GONNA BE BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.

AND THAT'S REALLY QUITE A, QUITE A FACILITY.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S SO GOOD THAT THE COMMUNITY STEPPED UP THERE, I THINK, TOO.

UM,

[00:20:01]

IT'S, IT'S REALLY NICE, REALLY GOOD.

AND, UH, THE, UH, I THINK BEING A BREAKFAST LUNCH, THERE'S GONNA BE AMPLE PARKING FOR THEM, AND THEN ALL THE SHOPPERS COME IN AND THERE WON'T BE PARKING UP THERE.

BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB.

SO GLAD TO SEE OUR, UH, BUSINESS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO F - TO COME INTO OUR, UH, OPEN SPACES.

AND JUST A, ALSO A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SOMEBODY THAT'S SITTING OVER THERE.

JASON GAGE CELEBRATED A BIRTHDAY, AND, UH, IT'S TOO BAD IT WENT ON A NIGHT.

WE COULDA HAD CAKE.

HR WILL THROW A PARTY FOR ANYTHING, YOU KNOW? SO, UH, BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JASON.

I LOOK OUT HERE AND I SEE, UH, LITTLE FLASHBACKS TO MY YOUTH ALL THE WAY FROM, UH, CUB SCOUTS THROUGH, THROUGH WE BLOW SUIT INTO BOY SCOUTS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE SEEING YOU GUYS HERE.

ABSOLUTELY.

UH, DOES BRING BACK SOME VERY GOOD MEMORIES FOR ME.

UH, IT WAS A GOOD WEEK.

I WILL ECHO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS WITHOUT BELABORING IT.

THANK YOU, APRIL, BRITTANY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU DID.

WE'RE STARTING TO EAT MORE THAN THE BAPTIST CHURCH NOW.

I, I, I, I THINK YOU OUGHTA KNOW THAT.

THIS, THIS CASSEROLE THING IS NOT A, IS NOT A COMPETITION.

UM, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

WE APPRECIATE THAT A LOT.

UM, UH, AS FAR AS THE TREE BOARD GOES, UH, WE HAVE A MEETING COMING UP.

I WILL NOT BE AT THAT MEETING BECAUSE OF A WORK OBLIGATION, UH, BUT THE DAY AFTER THAT, WHICH IS THURSDAY THE 19TH, WE'LL START THE DAY WITH A, UH, INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOLLOWED BY A THANKSGIVING, UH, MEAL AT, UH, FIRE STATION, UH, ON GENERAL GEORGE PATTON.

AND THEN I'VE BEEN HONORED, UH, TO ASK TO WELCOME THE FOLKS AT THE DAR PLANTING OF THE POPULAR TREES AT WINDY HILL.

AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING THAT AS WELL.

SO PLEASE JOIN US.

THAT'S GONNA BE A GREAT EVENT.

IS THAT THE 19TH, YOU SAID THE TREE PLANTING? 19TH, 12:30 DOWN BEAD.

YEAH.

MM-HMM.

BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW, MAYOR.

I'D LIKE TO START MY REPORT FOR THANKING ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR NATION, BOTH FROM ITS FOUNDING TO THE PRESENT DAY IN OUR ARMED FORCES.

AND, UH, AS WE WERE TALKING EARLIER, NOVEMBER 11TH IS VETERANS DAY.

AND SO, UH, WE WANT TO HONOR THOSE FROM THE PAST AND IN THE PRESENT, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO PASS THE TORCH TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

AND YOU SCOUTS RECORD ARE, ARE PART OF THAT NEXT GENERATION.

SOME OF YOU MAY CHOOSE TO SERVE, SOME OF YOU WON'T.

UM, BUT IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A GREAT ENDEAVOR.

IT TAKES TIME, EFFORT, DISCIPLINE TO BE IN THE ARMED FORCES, WHETHER IT'S IN PEACE TIME OR AT WAR.

BUT IT'S A VERY NOBLE THING TO DO BECAUSE OUR LIBERTIES AND OUR FREEDOMS COME WITH A PRICE, AND THAT PRICE IS VIGILANCE.

AND OFTEN THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE OF THAT VIGILANCE ARE OUR ARMED FORCES.

SO, UH, I HOPE Y'ALL WILL ALL BE PART OF A VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION, BUT WE WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL ONE WHICH YOU'RE ALL INVITED TO AT THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS, UH, AT 11:00 AM ON NOVEMBER 11TH, WHICH IS WEDNESDAY.

SO WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

UM, OUR VETERANS MONUMENT COMMITTEE'S VERY BUSY.

UM, FUNDRAISING IS GOING REAL WELL.

OUR COMMITTEE STARTED LAST YEAR IN JULY, AND IT STARTED WITH TRYING TO EVEN FIGURE OUT THE CONCEPT AND WHAT WE WANTED TO SAY TO HONOR VETERANS.

AND WE CAME UP WITH HONORING THE CITIZEN SOLDIER BECAUSE OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED BY THOSE WHO HELD BOTH THE MUSKET AND THE PLOW IN THEIR HANDS.

WE'RE CALLED MINUTEMEN.

OUR NATIONAL GUARD CARRIES ON THAT TRADITION.

OUR ARMED FORCES HAVE OFTEN BEEN FILLED, THE RANKS HAVE BEEN FILLED, ESPECIALLY DURING TIMES OF WAR, BY TEACHERS, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, PLUMBERS, MECHANICS, STUDENTS WHO'VE JUST COME OUT OF SCHOOL, AND YOU CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON, NURSES, JUST NORMAL PEOPLE, AVERAGE CITIZENS WHO ANSWERED THE CALL TO ARMS. AND BY ANSWERING THAT CALL, THEY HAVE PROTECTED OUR FREEDOMS FOR WELL OVER 250 YEARS NOW.

AND SO, TO ME, THAT CITIZEN SOLDIER IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AND SHOULD BE HONORED.

AND I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT.

THERE ARE FOUR VIRTUES THAT WE NOTICED IN ALL VETERANS, HONOR, DUTY, SACRIFICE, SERVICE, AND THOSE THINGS WE WANT TO HONOR.

AS WE WENT THROUGH DESIGN, WHICH TOOK ALMOST A YEAR TO, TO FORMULATE

[00:25:01]

AND TO HAVE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN APPROVED, THAT WAS THE SECOND PART OF THE CAMPAIGN, YOU MIGHT SAY.

FROM THERE, WE'VE MOVED TO FUNDRAISING, WHICH WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE LAST FIVE OR SO MONTHS, AND IT'S DOING REAL WELL.

UH, I WOULD SAY THAT I'VE BEEN BLESSED IN THE FACT THAT SINCE FRIDAY, WE HAVE HAD EIGHT DIFFERENT WILLIAMSON COUNTY, MIDDLE TENNESSEE, AND/OR BRENTWOOD CORPORATE PARTNERS WHO ARE ACTIVELY WANTING TO MEET TO FIND OUT ABOUT OUR VETERANS MONUMENT AND TO GIVE TO IT.

YOU AS CITIZENS CAN GIVE TO IT, WHETHER IT'S $5 OR $500 OR $5,000, WE HOPE ALL CITIZENS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL A PART OF THIS ENDEAVOR.

AND WE FELT BY ALL CITIZENS GIVING, THERE WOULD BE A GREAT, UM, OWNERSHIP OF THIS MONUMENT.

I'M HOPING YOU AS SCOUTS WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT.

WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE RAISED THE FUNDS SOMETIME INTO NEXT YEAR AND HAVE IT FINISHED AT SOME POINT NEXT YEAR.

BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE FUNDRAISING.

THE COMMITTEE HAS COMMITTED ITSELF.

IT WILL RAISE THE FUNDS FOR THIS MONUMENT TO BE PRODUCED.

SO AS YOU CONTEMPLATE THIS WEEK, BE SURE TO HONOR VETERANS, THINK ABOUT THE PRICE THEY'VE PAID, AND THINK ABOUT THE SERVICE THEY'VE GIVEN US.

UH, EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION, IT WAS GREAT.

IT WAS A MARDI GRAS THEME.

SO THERE WAS A LOT OF .

SO, UH, UM, BUT IT, IT WAS, IT WAS VERY MUCH FUN.

BUT THE THING I NOTICED THE MOST WAS WHEN I FIRST WALKED IN AND IT WAS NOT REAL CROWDED YET, BECAUSE I GOT THERE ON THE EARLY SIDE, THERE WAS A GREAT SOUND.

AND THAT SOUND CONTINUED, AND IT CONTINUED, AND IT BUILT AS THE EVENING WENT ON, AND AS IT BECAME MORE CROWDED.

AND THAT SOUND WAS THE SOUND OF LIKE A FAMILY.

IT WAS A SOUND OF LAUGHTER, CONVERSATION, HAVING FUN, ENJOYING ONE ANOTHER, LIKE YOU WERE AT A FAMILY REUNION.

AND I THOUGH, WHAT A BLESSING THAT OUR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD LOVE THEIR JOBS AND LOVE EACH OTHER.

SOMETIMES JOBS ARE NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT IT'S, UH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY NEAT WHEN YOU GATHER TOGETHER AND IT WAS JUST VERY EVIDENT THAT EVENING.

AND I WANT TO APPRECIATE OR SAY APPRECIATION TO OUR HR DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY DO SUCH A GOOD JOB OF THAT AND OUR SERVICE AWARDS AND MANY OTHER THINGS, BUT MAKING SURE OUR EMPLOYEES FEEL APPRECIATED.

UM, SERVICE AWARDS WERE GREAT.

UM, THE THING THAT STANDS OUT, IT, IT'S A CEREMONY WHERE PEOPLE GET FOR DIFFERENT YEARS OF TENURE, UH, AWARDS.

DAVE BUNT, OUR PARKS AND RECS DIRECTOR WILL BE RETIRING.

DAVE'S DONE AN AMAZING JOB.

OUR PARKS ARE CONSIDERED SOME OF THE BEST IN THE UNITED STATES AND SOME OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

AND IT'LL BE WHOEVER FILLS HIS SHOES, IT WILL BE A, IT'LL BE A HIGH, HIGH CLIMB, YOU MIGHT SAY.

BUT WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR HIS 30 YEARS OF SERVICE AND, UH, HIS DOING SUCH AN EXCELLENT JOB.

WE ALSO HAD YOUTH LEADERSHIP BRENTWOOD, WHICH SOME OF YOU MAY DECIDE YOU WANT TO DO.

UM, IT WAS GREAT.

WE HAD IT, UH, IT WAS PROBABLY 20, 25 STUDENTS THAT WERE THERE.

AND, UH, THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT ORGANIZATION TO TAKE AND IT'S A, IT'S A YEAR COMMITMENT.

AND, UH, I THINK THEY GO ONCE A MONTH AND, UH, AND YOU LEARN ALL ABOUT BRENTWOOD BECAUSE IF YOU LEARN ABOUT THE COMMUNITY YOU LIVE IN, YOU CAN BETTER SERVE IT.

SO, UH, I HOPE MANY OF YOU WILL PARTICIPATE.

AND I HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY COMMITTED TO A VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION ON VETERANS DAY AT THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

HEY.

HEY, FOLKS MAYOR LITTLE.

SO AS, UH, AS WE LISTEN TO THE COMMENTS TONIGHT, YOU DEFINITELY HEAR SOME, UH, SOME GENERAL THEMES.

I MEAN, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE, UM, THE EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION AND LIKE I SAID, APRIL AND EVERYBODY, I MEAN, BRITTANY ALL DID A, A FABULOUS JOB.

AND WATCHING THE DEPARTMENTS GET TOGETHER AND DO ALL THIS, YOU SEE THAT CAMARADERIE AND YOU SEE IT AGAIN IN THESE THINGS.

I MEAN, LIKE Y'ALL MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, LAST WEDNESDAY, WE HAD BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER TOGETHER AS A COMMISSION WITH THE EMPLOYEE, UH, UH, THE SERVICE AWARDS BREAKFAST, THE YOUTH LEADERSHIP BRENTWOOD LUNCH, AND THEN WE HAD AN ELECTED OFFICIAL'S DINNER.

AND TELL YOU, I MEAN, THE SEVEN OF US, YOU KNOW, ALL CAME TO THE ELECTED OFFICIALS DINNER, BUT THEN WE HAD, WHAT, PROBABLY ANOTHER 20 ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT ALL REPRESENT DIFFERENT PARTS AND DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF BRENTWOOD, FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD TO OUR STATE REPS, TO, UH, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND, UH, EVEN SOME THAT DON'T REPRESENT BRENTWOOD AT ALL THAT CAME TO REALLY CONNECT.

AND WITH THAT

[00:30:01]

COMMON INTEREST IN THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY.

AND, UM, AND WHEN YOU HEAR US TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY, THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO IT.

I MEAN, VICE MAYOR LITTLE MENTIONED THE FUNDRAISING FOR THE VETERANS MONUMENT.

YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW THERE'S ANOTHER GROUP OUT THERE FUNDRAISING FOR THE MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS.

SO ANY OF Y'ALL MOUNTAIN BIKERS? SHOW OF HANDS, MOUNTAIN BIKERS.

A COUPLE HERE.

SO WE'VE BEEN BLESSED BY HAVING THESE MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS IN SMITH PARK, LARGELY BUILT BY VOLUNTEERS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY.

AND RIGHT NOW, UM, IF YOU GOOGLE SMITH PARK TRAIL EXTENSION, THEY'RE RAISING MONEY AGAIN TO, UH, ADD TO SOME OF THE TRAILS WITH THE IDEA BEING THAT LIKE THE VETERANS MONUMENT, IF WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE PROJECT, THEY CONTRIBUTE AND THEY HELP RAISE THE MONEY.

SO THE PEOPLE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN BIKING TRAILS, THEY'VE BEEN CONTRIBUTING THE MONEY VOLUNTARILY.

AND WE'RE ABLE TO BUILD REALLY NICE ASSETS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE CITY WITHOUT HAVING TO RAISE TAXES OR CHARGE OF THE TAXPAYER ROLES.

IT'S, IT'S, IT'S GOVERNMENT BY CONTRIBUTION AND PARTICIPATION RATHER THAN, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST DOING IT BY, I GUESS, UH, A GOVERNMENT FIAT.

YEAH.

SO IT'S, UM, IT'S A REALLY GREAT THING.

I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY MAKES BRENTWOOD SPECIAL IS THIS INVOLVEMENT AND THIS VOLUNTEERISM AND THESE CONNECTIONS.

SO, UM, AS THE MAYOR, AS I MENTIONED, I GET TO DO STATE OF THE CITY THIS COMING THURSDAY AND WE'LL BE THERE TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS GOING ON FROM, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THIS PAST YEAR, GOING OVER SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN BRENTWOOD, INCLUDING, WE WERE ALL TALKING ABOUT WINTER STORM FERN A LITTLE BIT EARLIER IN THE, IN THE OTHER ROOM TO, UM, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW, BUT ALSO THE LONG-TERM PLANNING.

SO, UH, Y'ALL MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT BRENTWOOD RUNS LONG-TERM PLANS ALL THE TIME.

AND ABOUT ONCE EVERY 10 YEARS, WE LOOK ABOUT 15 YEARS OUT IN THE FUTURE AND SAY, WHAT, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO KEEP BRENTWOOD THE PLACE THAT IT IS, UH, I GUESS IN PEOPLE'S MINDS RIGHT NOW? YOU KNOW, THE SECRET TO BRENTWOOD IS IT'S A VERY DESIRABLE COMMUNITY.

SO WE'VE RUN A BRENTWOOD 2010 PROGRAM, A BRENTWOOD 2020 PROGRAM.

CURRENTLY, WE'RE RUNNING THE BRENTWOOD 2040 PROGRAM TO TRY TO VISUALIZE HOW DO YOU KEEP BRENTWOOD RELEVANT AND DESIRABLE IN THE WORLD OF 2040, UH, WHILE WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE WORLD OF 2040 IS.

SO HOW DO WE REALLY INVEST IN THE THINGS THAT MAKE IT THE KIND OF COMMUNITY THAT WE ALL WANNA BE IN? SO, UM, SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT IN THE STATE OF THE CITY.

WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS ALL THESE THINGS WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE BRENTWOOD THE PLACE AND ENJOY THE SUCCESS THAT IT'S BEEN, BEEN ENJOYING FOR A LONG TIME.

AND I'M REALLY PROUD TO BE PART OF THAT.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE, UH, COMMENTS.

OH, ANNE.

SOMETHING I WANT TO BRING Y'ALL UP ON AND KEEP YOU IN THE LOOP.

THIS I THINK WILL BE AN ONGOING SAGA.

YOU REMEMBER LAST WEEK WHEN TWICE DAILY IT WAS HERE, TRISTAR WITH SIX BEER PERMIT REQUESTS.

AND I ASKED HIM AS THE ATTORNEY FOR THAT WHOLE GROUP THAT PERHAPS HE WAS MORE ABLE TO ALERT THEM TO THE FACT THAT THERE'S A GIGANTIC POTHOLE SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT.

AND HE SAID, WELL, HE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH POWER.

WE HAVE ZERO WITH THEM BECAUSE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, WE CAN'T MAKE THEM DO IT.

I'VE BEEN CHECKING ON THAT SINCE I BUY MY GAS THERE.

THERE IS NOW ANOTHER ONE WITHIN FOUR FEET OF THAT ONE THAT IS JUST AS DEEP.

I WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK AND REPORT HERE BY MICROPHONE ON CAMERA HOW THE POTHOLE SITUATION IS AT THE TWICE DAILY ON CAROTHERS PARKWAY.

YOU KNOW, THEY ALWAYS SAY IT'S LOCAL OFFICIALS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO POTHOLES.

WE DO WHAT WE CAN FOR THE STREETS THAT WE CONTROL, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE A ADVOCATE FOR GETTING THEM FIXED IN THESE POTHOLES IN THESE PARKING LOTS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE TO GO IN.

SO I'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED.

ANYTHING ELSE? WE'LL TAKE THAT ON TO THE
