MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

BRENTWOOD, TENNESSEE

The Brentwood Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Monday, April 13, 2020 at 7:00 pm at Brentwood City Hall.

Present:	Mayor Rhea Little; 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; Assistant City Manager Jay Evans; City Attorney (electronically) Kristen Corn; City Recorder (electronically) Holly Earls


Mayor Little stated the following: “As you may know, Governor Bill Lee issued Executive Order 16 on Friday, March 16. This Order was 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 Order, Governor Lee recognized that guidance from the White House and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that Americans should avoid social gatherings in groups of more than 10 people and that older persons and persons with serious underlying health conditions should remain at home. The Governor also 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 Order provides 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 is spreading rapidly throughout the state and Williamson County, with known cases in Brentwood. 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 Order Number 16.”

Mayor Little led the Invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Commissioner Andrews.
