MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

BRENTWOOD, TENNESSEE

The Brentwood Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Monday, March 22, 2021 at 7:00 pm at Brentwood City Hall.

Present:	Mayor Rhea Little (electronically); Vice Mayor Ken Travis (electronically); Commissioner Nelson Andrews (electronically); Commissioner Anne Dunn (electronically); Commissioner Mark Gorman (electronically); Commissioner Susannah Macmillan (electronically); Commissioner Regina Smithson (electronically)
Staff Present:	City Manager Kirk Bednar (electronically); Assistant City Manager Jay Evans (electronically); City Attorney Kristen Corn (electronically); City Recorder Holly Earls (electronically)

Mayor Little stated the following:

"As you may know, Governor Bill Lee issued Executive Order 16 on March 16 and extended its provisions by Executive Order 34 on May 6, Executive Order 51 on June 29, Executive Order 60 on August 28, Executive Order 65 on October 28, Executive Order 71 on December 22, and Executive Order 78 on February 26. These Orders were issued to ensure that government continues to function openly and transparently during the COVID-19 emergency while taking appropriate measures to protect the health and safety of citizens and government officials. In his Orders, Governor Lee emphasized that in the interest of limiting the community spread of COVID-19, private and governmental entities of all types should eliminate large public gatherings and conduct business remotely by electronic means to the greatest extent possible. The Orders provide that governments may meet to conduct essential business by electronic means when the governing body determines that doing so is necessary to protect citizens. Sadly, COVID-19 continues to spread across the state and Williamson County. Therefore, the City has determined that in the interest of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of Tennesseans and the citizens of Brentwood, it is necessary for the Board of Commissioners to meet partially electronically rather than in-person. We have posted the link for public viewing on the City’s website and social media pages, and we have disseminated the same to the media.

Is there any objection by the Commission? Seeing none, we will proceed with our meeting in accordance with the State of Tennessee Governor’s Executive Orders Number 16, 34, 51, 60, 65, 71, and 78."

Commissioner Macmillan led the Invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Commissioner Smithson. Mayor Little presented a Proclamation for Arbor Day.
