The Board of Commissioners of the City of Brentwood have a tradition of recognizing all employees’ contribution to the success of the City by providing and hosting an employee recognition dinner during the beginning of the annual holiday season. There are realistically only two facilities available in Williamson County (Embassy Suites and Marriott at Cool Spring) that have the capability of accommodating our group and are also within a reasonable travel distance of Brentwood.

For the last ten years this event has been held at the Embassy Suites in Franklin, Tennessee. The overwhelming feedback from attendees has been very positive on all aspects of this event, including the quality of the food, room arrangement and entertainment. Staff recommends that this event be held again this year at the same location.

The Embassy Suites quoted the cost of this event at approximately $40 per person, depending on final menu selection, plus applicable taxes and a 24% service charges. This cost is approximately the same as last year.  The estimated attendance is expected to be 250 for a total estimated cost of approximately $12,500.  This amount will be included in the Human Resources Department FY 2018 Operating Budget.
